Mellow Mushroom Charlottesville - The Story

Located on the first floor of The Graduate Hotel, the restaurant’s exterior has a soothing light-yellow color palette and metal light fixtures. Mature trees provide shade for the outdoor dining area, and large windows let in lots of natural light. The interior of the restaurant features bold colors and funky artwork. In the entryway, portraits of Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe celebrate Virginia’s history. Bold, 70s-inspired murals are found throughout the dining room, and a tall mushroom sculpture seems to grow out of the dining room floor. Wood accents and vibrant wall colors round out the design.
