Joshua Wilton House

We celebrated our anniversary recently and it was amazing! We got such a great table and the ambience of the room just made it such a romantic dinner. The servers were all so attentive and helpful! The food was amazing. I ordered the clam chowder that was a special at the time and the filet mignon. Everything was delicious and beautifully plated! Definitely get the crème brûlée for dessert!

A great place to stay and dine. Our rooms were beautiful. The bartender Rick was super and made a great pisco sour. Dinner was super. I had duck breast and it was the best I've ever had (with many duck dining experiences around the world including France). THE place to stay in Harrisonburg if you want something special.

Me and my wife came here on our honeymoon for a special dinner. And this restaurant did not disappoint. Neither did our server Seth, who really made the evening even more memorable. We had the date night Tuesday meal, with a carefully prepared charcuterie board for our appetizer, duck breast and a gnocchi dish for the main course, and a delicious chocolate moose and whiskey ice cream for dessert. The food was the best we’ve ever experienced, and Seth really made our evening special by being so personable, talking to us about our honeymoon, and bringing out two wonderful glasses of champagne for us to have with dessert because of the occasion. This was hands down the best dinner we’ve ever experienced.

The Joshua Wilton was a wonderful experience! We stayed during the week for a conference at the Hotel Madison. It's perfectly located between the conference center and downtown. The rooms were beautifully decorated with historic armoires, desks, and matching decor. Loved the atmosphere! It was intimate, almost reverent; the staff were very accommodating and personable. Electra and Rick were amazing! The dining got a little noisy, but no more so than you'd expect at a popular restaurant, so get there early! It's much quieter then.

There are not enough wonderfully positive superlatives to describe our recent experience with the Josh Wilton House. So let's start from the beginning. Our daughter's wedding was in early October 2025 and several months prior we reached out the Josh Wilton team to start planning. The staff was great to work with; listened well to what we wanted, offered great ideas and were available to consult with throughout the planning process. We loved the location of the Josh Wilton house, the very cool interior and the rooms we were able to gather in for the wedding reception. The set up of the rooms was perfect, food impeccably prepared and served. All of the staff were so great to work with; friendly, helpful courteous. We highly recommend the Josh Wilton House for your special occasion.
