“Normally I don't write reviews for restaurants, but this place just went above and beyond my expectations. It was my first time visiting your establishment and my first impression was the waitress Tabbi Englehart greeting me at the table, she had a smile and was very helpful and offered suggestions we should try. Service and timing were absolute perfect. Food was amazing as well. Pretty much they treat you like kings and queens. 100% would return. I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could.“
“Having been a server for almost 10 years, it is very difficult for me to be blown away by service I recieve while dining. Susan absolutely put it down! Not only was she completely on point with timing of everything- drink almost done? She's there asking if you're ready for another. Just finished your last bite of bread? Here she comes with more for the table- but she is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the menu, helping guide you through the flavors present and explaining not only what features in a dish, but how it will taste and feel. I CANNOT say enough about how professional and amazing she was. Then, not only was the service top-notch, but every single bite of every dish absolutely DELIEVERED! We ordered the venison carpaccio, and Susan was able to describe all the sauces and flavors on the dish, so we were able to try the venison with each, knowing it would tweak the overall flavor in different ways. It came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. I got the waygu stuffed quail for my entree and my husband got the sea scallops catch of the day, and the portions were amazing for both- giant scallops, a half a quail that perfectly filled me up, along with amazing waygu cheek stuffed in the quail. Not only were the proteins perfectly cooked and flavored, but even the sides to each dish complemented the proteins beautifully and were DELICIOUS. Not a single thing could I or would I want to change. 100% worth every penny spent for an amazing date night, and we will absolutely book another reservation to return!Parking: Go early to ensure you can find parking, or catch an Uber or Lyft“
“I came here for a work event and we were directed to the event space. I got the short rib and a couple others got the salmon. Both were wonderful.Drinks were a little slow but heavily poured and made for a lively evening.The night was made by the service given by Rylee. She took the time to connect with everybody and made us all feel welcome while giving wonderful service. Her patience and expertise made the night a wonderful experience!“
“My cousin had her bridal shower at Henley on 4/11. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious. William snd his staff were phenomenal! This is my new spot to come and relax enjoy the great food and drink. Thank you again for allowing us to have her bridal shower there.“
“Unique spot offering a taste of what’s good in this world. Got the hava nagila dilla (turkey Reuben) and villa dilla (chicken carbonara), nacho problem, and fresh-pressed lemonade (half sugar). Nachos are faster than dillas — could treat nachos like an app if you are dining in. Dillas had the PERFECT crisp and really thoughtful ingredient combos — felt like a more nutritious, sandwich-like quesadilla. Lemonade took me back to my childhood.“
“Dinner at Alewife was the highlight of our five-day visit to Richmond. First off, it was a relief to get out of downtown Richmond with its huge empty parking lots, boarded up storefronts and deserted streets. The historic Church Hill section, with its 19th century row and other houses and interesting looking restaurants and shops, was such a pleasant change. Parking near Alewife was a bit of a challenge, but we quickly found a spot just a block away.The restaurant itself has a fascinating vibe, part friendly neighborhood spot and part disarmingly upmarket dining room. You just knew the food would be interesting, and it was. We started with a gin and tonic and a non-alcoholic beer. The menu is fairly short and apparently changes nightly, or at least frequently.I would never in this world think that I would enjoy an appetizer of raw oysters, bright green pickle juice, creme fraiche and fresh dill. But it was an amazing flavor combination. My partner's appetizer was equally interesting -- lox on thick, toasted rustic bread.As mains, we had the arctic char, with grilled carrots, and the skate, both perfectly prepared and delicious. Service throughout the meal was just right -- friendly, attentive but not overly so. Our charge for two, including tip, was around $150, well worth the price. Thank you for a great meal experience!“
“Attended the Wade Cellars wine tasting hosted here by Chef Mike Lindsey and it was phenomenal.The restaurant is on the smaller side, but very well put together, inviting, and has charm.I haven't tried menu items from Jubilee yet, but after this experience, we will definitely be back!“
“We arrived on a busy Saturday morning. We were greeted and asked to be placed on a wait to actually order food for ten minutes and we were told to grab a seat. During that time a e were able to look at the menu and decide what we wanted. We went with a classic - chicken strips, egg and country gravy. And OH MY! It was sooo good. Choose to get the full waffle and you will not be disappointed!“
“Very friendly staff.This food truck has great breakfast. We tried the breakfast burrito, pancakes, and veggie omelet. All three were great.Pancakes were super fluffy. Scrambled eggs and omelet were not overcooked. The burrito has A LOT of flavor, ask for less salsa and hot sauce if you like things on the lighter side.“
“I'm honestly surprised I haven't reviewed this place before. In my humble opinion, this is the best French restaurant in the whole city. The staff are impeccably kind and attentive, the food selection is great, and the drinks are to die for. The staff treats you like family, and it really makes for an inviting time. The space is also very warm and comforting, which I truly appreciate.Definitely a place you should go for a nice date with someone, or to just have a good dinner and a warm and welcoming space.“
“Makeia was amazing! We had a large party and she remained calm and level throughout all the stuff going on!!! She had a pleasant disposition and was very attentive to our needs! She really made me look forward to visiting Trios again! I hope that next time I get her as the person to service me and my guest!!!! Please give this young lady a bonus, raise or something!! She deserves it!“
“I ate here with a good friend of mine and the atmosphere was very nice, we got a wonderful booth next to the window and they work on a reservation system so heads up on that! The food overall was pretty good, my friend is a big fan of their broccoli but for me nothing stood out to me. Its a very Richmond hipster restaurant with taking elements from different cultures but with their own twist. The dessert however was great and the staff is wonderful so it makes me sad to see disrespectful costumers.“
“The Roosevelt is one of my go to places cause it’s close to me and I love everything about it. My favorite dish there is the pork butt and I will have to tell you when I went two nights ago I ordered it and the collard greens that comes with it were so salty they were inedible. I’ve never had that problem before and I’m just hoping that our server let the chef know to be a little lighter on the salt. They were so salty that it took away from the taste of the collard greens. Otherwise everything’s wonderful.“
“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!“
“My date and I decided on the newest ML Steak location in the Chesterfield Town Center on a rainy, romantic Wednesday evening. These guys absolutely hit it out of the park. We sat at the bar where we were promptly served by our bartender Tom. We could not have been given better service: Tom explained the menu with both detail and passion to the point we were nearly hypnotized at the end. It’s the kind of professional level service that you rarely see anymore but we experienced it here. Tom would even transfer Felicia’s beer into a frosty pint glass if it were sitting too long. These little details truly make the difference. I ordered the Beast Burger and I may have had a better burger in my life but nothing comes to mind right now because this thing was a juicy culinary masterpiece of bison and boar meat. Felicia gave me some of her fried smoke half chicken and it was equally amazing. Chicken smoked in house and given a special blend of spices. We couldn’t have been happier with the total dining experience here at ML Steak, including the ambiance. It’s the type of restaurant experience that has become rare today but needs to be experienced and celebrated. Bravo! We will be back!“
“Great experience. Entertainment is excellent. The food is very good. Drinks are very good. It did take a long time for food to arrive. One suggestion is that the entertainers come all the way down the aisle before making a change in their outfits. If you are sitting against the wall, you can't see what is happening up by the door.“
“drinks were great, atmosphere and service was great. however, I ordered the crab cakes and they were the worst. so salty, I really thought that canned tuna, not crabmeat was the main ingredient. I was there for a friend's birthday and didn't want to ruin the vibe by complaining to our server but y'all really need to take them off the menu.“
“Always fresh and delicious. Their avacados are always ripe and green. Flavors are always a hit. My go to spot and I dont think there is anything remotely comprable that I have ever come across. This is what one hopes sweetgreen could be like but is nowhere close in quality. Do yourself a favor and try Goatacado.“
“Stopped by on a Sunday morning. It has a bar like atmosphere, but the food is absolutely amazing. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. We highly highly recommend the pancakes. They were the best we’ve ever had. Great food and friendly attentive staff.“
“Wonderful experiene overall. The rockfish was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive, and provided excellent service. Joe was also a great example of the high quality staff you’d expect at such a historic establishment. Look forward to coming back!“
“10/10 Everytime. Nugs, fries and fried rice are the go to with mambo sauce. Cary out style restaurant. The staff taking orders are always friendly and professional even when the phone is ringing off the hook. Online ordering is also available. Parking next to the building is also available.“
“Tiny, hip place down from church hill. Booths are a little tight, but that's my only criticism. The food was spot on. Ingredients were fresh and recipes were not over complicated. Each ingredient shined. Look forward to next time and trying more things.“
“Amazing donuts! Some of the best cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, and raspberry/lemon donuts I’ve ever head. Service was prompt, polite, and the atmosphere was great. Really wonderful and welcoming place. Go do yourself a favor and grab some MorrDonuts! ? ?“

“Recently discovered this local gem. Ordered the fish sandwich, and it was soooo good that I returned a week later to try the Nashville hot chicken which was equally as delicious!! Service is with a smile even though they’re super busy, and they’ll have it ready to go if you call ahead. Hoping they extend closing by a few hours. Excited to try more menu items!“
“Loved it. Everything that a great Richmond bar can offer from a cozy relaxed tavern feel to an excellent martini and really good fish and chips. The place was packed but the bartender did a great job of handling everything in a timely manner.“
“We had a reservation for a larger group on a Thursday night. The small restaurant was busy but our table was ready on time, it just took quite a while to get drinks and food ordered and then service after we got our food. Otherwise everything was absolutely flavorful and delicious. They really know what they’re doing! Portions are massive so come hungry or dine with friends.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pasta and pizza options were great! The mushrooms are especially delicious in various dishes.“
“So much food! Everything was delicious. And the staff was extremely nice. Next time I'm in town, I'll make a point to eat here.Parking: It's an awkward layout, but there are plenty of spots around the building.Kid-friendliness: We brought our two y.o. and 4 month old and they were given lots of attention. There are no changing tables in the bathrooms though.“
“This was first time trying them, but it won't be my last. I ordered the Cilantro Chicken with black beans and green rice. It was soo delicious ?. I also ordered the Half Chicken with fried rice and plantain. The half chicken was very flavorful and the fried rice was really good. The black beans were very good. I would definitely recommend this place ?“
“I ate here last week. Not as good as I remembered, but still pretty good. Shrimp and grits were, good, not the best, but not bad 3.7 out of 5. Happy hour drinks were just okay too, the Paloma. I don't think I'll return anytime soon.“
“First off.....this place is tiny so no parties over 4.....but there's also a nearby park if your group wants to order and eat there. I've done this on a nice day before. The variety of options here is outstanding. I've tried several sandwiches here and have never left unhappy. Most recently I had the Manny, the Teacher, the Scribe and chicken Salad. I would get them all again but the menu is so vast I'm always compelled to try something new. Most recently Kiki took care of us and was great suggesting something new. Keeping this one in the rotation!“
“Food was good, and breakfast all day is hard to find! I went around 4pm because I was craving pancakes and eggs. Very happy with my choice! I got the big breakfast, and it was bigger than I thought and I was actually surprised it was so cheap. Liv gave great service and I’ll be back to try more for sure.“
“I’d share a photo of the Italian beef I got, but I ate it too fast. Slow, SLOOOW cooked beef with giardiniera piled on a hearty sesame bread. I’m going to be thinking about that one for a while.It might cost more than you think a sandwich should cost (if you’re older like me), but the moment you start to eat it, you’ll know you got a deal. Plus it comes with chips. Better than fair.“
“We came on a Saturday night for dinner. It was a bit unclear if you were to seat yourself or not, and the service was a bit slow due to how busy the bar was since a live band was starting soon. However, our experience overall was excellent.The biscuit is probably the best biscuit I've had at a restaurant, ever. Absolutely recommend. We tried three flavors of wings and all thought the gochujang was the most outstanding. The pinto beans, pickles, slaw, and chicken quesadilla were all flavorful and solid. We loved everything we tried.“
“Laura Lee's has become our absolute favorite spot in the neighborhood, and it's our top choice for both date nights and entertaining out-of-town guests. The restaurant has consistently exceeded our expectations, making it a go-to option for creating memorable experiences.One standout feature that sets Laura Lee's apart is their exceptional accommodation for dietary restrictions. As someone with gluten sensitivity, I appreciate the effort they put into ensuring a safe and enjoyable dining experience. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to assist in tailoring dishes to meet specific dietary needs or address food allergies.Hands down, they boast the best cocktails on the Southside. The mixologists here are true artists, crafting unique and flavorful concoctions that never fail to impress. Each sip is a delightful journey through a symphony of tastes, and the presentation is equally as impressive. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a refreshing drink, Laura Lee's has something for everyone.Service at Laura Lee's is consistently excellent. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a positive dining experience. From the moment you walk in to the time you leave, you feel well taken care of.“
“I got the country fried steak, collards, and spoonbread. I was really excited to see spoonbread on a menu and it definitely met my expectations. The meal basically tasted like my mom made it, and the price was crazy good-- like $16 for so much food I couldn't finish it. Also had a martini with garlic olives which were so delicious! Would definitely recommend coming here.“
“I had a great time at River City Roll! I was able to easily make a reservation online. When we arrived the staff was friendly and helpful. I loved the basket with our shoes and the whole check-in process was super easy. This was my first time playing Hyperbowl and it was super fun! What a cool twist on bowling. I was having so much fun and the staff was able to fit in an extra 30 minutes for us to finish out game. The food was served in a timely manner and it was very yummy. If you're looking to bowl in RVA this is the place to go!“
“Treats and Treasures catered brunch for my bridal party while we got ready. They worked with us to create a delicious, beautiful spread with fruit, a variety of quiches, cinnamon rolls, and much more. They accommodated dietary restrictions (gluten-free and vegetarian). My gluten-free friend was thrilled she could have a gluten-free quiche!“
“Great local, neighborhood café with cozy atmosphere, warm service, and even cozier food. Try a meat, egg, and cheese bagel—my favorite is chorizo; it comes as a layer of spicy sausage crumble. The coffee & espresso are great, and the café is always clean. Excellent place to bring family, friends, and/or coworkers.“
“We did Door Dash. Our burgers were huge, not overcooked! Fries were skinny and crisp. Toppings were on the side in a separate container. Arrived hot. Would have done 5 stars if the cheese had been put on the burger and not buried under lettuce, pickles, Onions and tomatoes in the separate toppings box. That was odd.“
“I sadly didn’t take any pictures, but you’ll be able to see those on other reviews. Sorry about that.I went here on a Wednesday at around 7 with my mother. She’s got a rollator which is one of those fancy walkers with wheels.I got an andouille sandwich with their spicy potatoes salad. The sandwich was much more than food than I expected. I was quite full afterword. It was two sausages cheese melted on a toasted bun with onions. Excellent meal that I was hesitant to try. The potato salad was great. Better than my mom’s but not quite as good as Garnett’s.My mom got a hamburger with only onions it’s her typical fare with the red skin potatoes. I tried her potatoes and they were good. Her hamburger was pretty boring but she liked it. I think they could have made the beef patties bigger for the price but we had a good meal.Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The meals came out in a reasonable time.The place is very cute and unique. It’s a smaller establishment with a covered patio. The place is handicap accessible but would be difficult with a wheel chair. My mom did fine with her rollator. No steps or anything to get over. The bathrooms are tiny but I think that’s due to the age of the establishment.If I’m in the area would definitely return. Great food, staff, and atmosphere.“
“Great place for live music an bar lady is really nice!! 5 stars an it's definitely the place for a old school rock shows ?up close for any band an great fan experience!! Wednesday 13 is a legend ?Rip Joey jordison/Ben Graves ?amazing sound an a lot of room to move around !! Hope y'all enjoy the photos amazing show?“
“This place is really cute. If you have ever been to the to the other side of the world, this place truly reminds you of it. Atleast it did for my husband and I. We ate pok pok wings, lemongrass soup, and pineapple stir fry. All were delicious! The drinks were awesome too. They had exotic mocktails and different cocktails than any other restaurant we had ever been to. The waitress was very sweet and everyone was pleasant there. It was also very affordable. I highly recommend going here for dinner!“
“Stopped in for a friend's birthday. Jeagerbombs for 4 bucks all night. The food here is very good bar food. They will cook you a burger just the way you want it. Love that! It can get crowded, but there is extra space on the end of the building in the game room. Definitely worth checking out. Great little local spot.“
“Been first time in this place! I moved recently in that neighborhood. Very nice and clean place, staff is very friendly and my salad with chicken was great! Prices were good, happy was good!Definitely will comeback there!Recommended place in the center of Richmond.“
“THESE BURGERS SLAP! I got a goat cheese burger, and that thing was majestic. The restaurant gives millennial core but in a stylish millennial who wears mom jeans kinda way! I think I gained ten pounds from the duck fat pimento cheese fries, and those were the best pounds I’ve ever gained. Come here if you are cool, don’t come if you aren’t (actually still come bc this place must stay open)!“
“Thirstys is a great dive bar great prices staff and atmosphere give it a try. The bar staff is great and the food is pretty tasty “loaded tater tots or fry’s is my go to” the trash can is great too nice pours and a good value give it a try you won’t be let down!“
“Dinner with a friend at The Savory Grain. Early reservations for two and were seated immediately. It had been a long time since I had been out so we really wanted to talk over drinks before ordering so I checked with our waitress that this was ok. We did not want to tie up her table if a turnover was needed. She encouraged us to relax and go at our own pace and asked us to let her know when we were ready to order since she did not want to keep interrupting us. A couple of happy hour beers in we ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer, shrimp and grits entree, and the meatloaf entree. The beer was nice and cold, the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer arrived long enough before the entree for us to enjoy it. The entrees were generous enough that we both brought home leftovers and mine became my husband’s dinner. I could not have asked for a nicer evening out.“
“We checked this place out to celebrate completing our move to Richmond recently. I always enjoy this type of steakhouse environment and The Tobacco Company did not disappoint. Old school vibes, great food, and great service. We sat at the bar for both drinks and dinner. Dinner was great, even though my wife and I switched dishes after they arrived. Just had a change of appetite! But the scallops and prime rib were both great.“
“We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 8am and it wasnt very busy. The ambiance of the restaurant was better then two other local places we visited since being here in VA. I ordered the Californian with Wheat toast and home fries, my wife had the 3oz steak and eggs with home fries and we shared a cinnamon bun. The food was good and hot except our home fries were cold. The servers was good and attentive. I would recommend Matrys to others and will become a frequent customer. See you again soon.“
“Nice home town place. Food was good, they don't overload your plate with tons of extra carbs and not loaded in butter. instead portion size is just right, you butter your own toast. Fantastic if you want to manage what you eat. I'm happy I chose this place.“
