Horrible experience in the lobby Bar Restaurant on Christmas Day. Half of the buffet food was cold and the waitress was never around and the restaurant was half empty. She was more interested in telling my party she was waiting to be off work so she could take the leftovers from the buffet home. The management is not responsive to issues and doesn’t seem to care as they did not respond to my contact with them. I won’t be returning for any reason.

We were super excited to get together for dinner at Quirk. Our table tried a plethora of items from the menu. I got the Quirk Spritz which was okay, but not very flavorful; not worth the price. I got the duck breast. The duck was cooked the way I like it and had some pink and a nice layer of fat. However, the vegetables weren't fully cooked and the dish as a whole felt lackluster. The burrata ice cream saved my meal; the burrata ice cream was super creamy and the olive oil cake was moist. Others at my table got the onion dip, grilled pork ragu, fried Brussels sprouts, grilled scallop risotto, and several other dishes. The pasta in the ragu wasn't fully cooked and others also noted that their vegetables weren't fully cooked either. Our table was disappointed. Our server was kind and had a good spirit. The restaurant itself was very cute and well appoint d with unique pink decor. Unfortunately, we won't be back for any entrees. We'd give it a shot again for apps and drinks in the future maybe during happy hour? However, this was not worth an almost $400 bill (yes we tipped at least 20%).

The space is beautiful and comfortable if you can find a hostess to seat you, but unfortunately that’s where the positives stop. The staff, in general, is rude, annoyed by guests’ questions, and can’t muster a smile or helpful word. While there are always exceptions, the staff is the definition of bad Richmond service.

We loved this place for our Thanksgiving dinner reservation. Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. The staff were fairly friendly and helpful too. We loved the unique spin on a traditional holiday food. Definitely recommend coming here.

Went for brunch to see the gorgeous holiday decorations with some friends. Service was great, food was very good, coffee was solid. Menu is somewhat limited but what they have they do well.
I'm writing this as I lounge in bed after an amazing breakfast. T start my wife and I had delicious caramel lattes while deciding where to eat. They had run out of whole milk and we substituted oat-milk. To be fair I knew it was going to be new to me so although I did not like it my wife gladly took mine. I had had one the day before and it was delicious. We then decided if we were eating out or in. So the breakfast setup is a little confusing prior to the buffet opening there doesn't appear to be wait service. You order your food from the barrista. I took pictures and I'm probably not going to post them because they don't do the meal justice! I had poached eggs over this sublime chorizo gravy. It's not listed the same way on the online menu. But OMG it was a perfectly seasoned dish. I would have licked the bottom of the plate! My wife asked for the avocado toast listed on the online menu. I think that the one she got was different not sure if it was jalapeño aioli but it was amazing. When I asked for the fried egg add on it wasn't posted on the board menu but they added it no problem. If you're a texture person like I am you understand when there can be too much of a soft thing! The balance on this dish was absolutely delightful. It was the BEST avocado toast we have ever had. This is a standard breakfast dish for us. I have to say it was that great without the fried egg!!! it was over the top with it! The flavor of the toasted bread was out of this world. A limited menu but damn good so far! Definitely going back.

Quirk the lobby bar Rough and definitely no diamond I have on several occasions glanced at the Quirk Hotel and unconsciously put it to one side as a place to visit for a special occasion. The image promoted is a sort of successor to the now defunct ArtSorat of Berlin fame but in American style. Less extreme. Anyway I was looking for brunch, on Sunday to celebrate a birthday. You would have thought that would be easy to find in of all places Richmond since the reputation for "Where it's at" brunchwise is the Jefferson acting as top-of-the-line for service and tradition with Cracker Barrel as counterweight. And everything in between. Until, that is, I came upon my first chameleon restaurant The Lobby in the Quirk Hotel. It looks like a restaurant on the hotel web pages but look closer on Trip advisor and Poof! It has disappeared. No trace. Only to re-appear on Yelp. This may of course be a strategy to avoid anyone noticing it or god forbid eating there. But a mystery it is and remains so. What could they be hiding I wondered and so took my place to find out. The answer was really quite simple. Overpriced inedible food but a wide variety of happy hour alcohol. The cook or whoever he was could be seen peeping around the partly screened food prep area with what can only be described as surprise that people were eating what was being served. A succession of truly unpleasant wilted leaves and turd-like sausages with for some unknown reason poached eggs everywhere looking unpleasantly like a gift from a passing seagull. The food at our table remained plated and untouched with the exception of the pre-cooked potatoes heated or microwaved I suspect which at least satisfied basic hunger pains. The Bloody Mary was the most appealing item and I was the only one drinking alcohol. The check that ended this horror show was eye watering. As I left I caught the waiter under his breath apologizing to the Blonde who later told me he was thanking us for the tip and hoping we would give them another chance. However with a tiny brunch menu so badly prepared I don't think so. Finally in these post Covid days I am getting tired of the repeated excuses about finding and retaining competent staff. How long are restaurant goers willing to accept overpriced terrible food as the norm?

Such a fun hotel! Great experience overall and the valet, David, was phenomenal! It was great chatting with him at checkout and he helped to load all of our bags (for four people) with a smile. We will be back!

David was extremely helpful, professional and attentive to me and the needs of my client. Made my job easier working with the Edwards party and coordinating our needs. Also would like to shout out Jillian who was patient and extremely helpful as well. Keep up the good work.

This "Boutique" is not all everyone hypes it up to be. We planned to stay there Friday and Saturday Night to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Sadly only three positives come to mind from our stay. The hotel was very clean. The lobby is attractive. And the water pressure in the shower was outstanding. At over $500 per night, I was expecting more. The room was not spacious. The bathroom was small, not enough room for 2 people. The bed was average comfort. The Artist Mural Room, as they call them, was nothing special and the art was a bunch of decals on the wall. To top it all off, the rooftop deck was closed for an event the night we arrived (bummed). Then on Saturday night our room card would not allow us access and when I asked the front desk, they said it was closed again. We took the steps up to see it and there was well over 100 people up there drinking and partying (apparently a wedding party took over the entire rooftop). My final issue. You would think for so much money, they would have done something for our 20th anniversary? Even just saying congratulations at check in. I mentioned it when I made the reservation and again when the concierge texted me the day before check in. Nothing... Save your money and stay somewhere else.
