Awesome food and excellent service. Totally love this place. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. Great place to go for family gatherings. I have tried several dishes and never been disappointed. We had a great time.

I was so confused by your concept and can't decide whether to score 1 or 5 stars. So I rolled the dice and here it is :)

Extraordinary atmosphere and very affable service. The meals were crisp and enchanting. Will absolutely recommend this restaurant to my friends. Affordable prices and generous meals. Great job.

I live in Texas and love to eat. These Italian goons have not given me my food in 3 days. While I never told them I needed food, nor that I want it shipped to Texas, their pitiful service astounds me. They should know.

Update: In response to the owner, I only visited this place one time and never went back. I only called, because I saw online that the phone was off and I called to see if it was true. The number was indeed disconnected. Also, that's not my number, but I'm sure you did them a favor. But considering that cafeteria with unseasoned leftover food that you called a "business" is now, CLOSED, I was right so no need to argue. :) Spent $18 on spaghetti that was watery and inedible. Threw it in the trash. I think their plan to rack up bad reviews backfired. The last time I called their phone was disconnected, and when I drove up there the place was bone dry. They are never busy. It seems more people would rather eat Quiznos than at this place. If you're going to be rude and snotty towards customers, at least be able to deliver on the food. Especially with their prices, thoroughly disappointed and will never recommend this place.

The ugliest napkins. OMG the tap water has no bubbles. I asked for a double refund because I felt the taste of the floor oysters with otter paté was off, but they only gave a single refund. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS WIDENING GYRE!!! The waiters should be made to clean deck. The worst insult was they refused to deliver to the off shore rig. We developed mitosis from eating there.

The food is consistently fresh and yummy, employees hands over awesome service. I love how neat it is and atmosphere. Keep up the good work.

over hyped (and waaaay over priced) and the owner is a real big meanie. I'd rather eat mountain mike's or something.

The coronavirus is in their pizza. Don't wear a mask. It's useless there. The Rona is strong.

The owners second restauarant to fold. Maybe if he tries again he'll figure out that selling pretentious bad food at ridiculously high prices will only work somewhere like Beverly Hills, not Richmond. Oh, and "Customers keep giving me one star reviews so I'll write five star reviews of my own restaurant and make a joke of asking people to give me bad reviews" is a publicity stunt, not a business plan.

Their delicious food is making my butt spread like rumors! The regularly have new specials which I am forced to try, pushing me further away from my goal of being a swimsuit model. Woe is me.

This food is amazing!

Very elegant and convenient restaurant. They provide large meals and for fair rates. We liked the meals very much and the staff members were very welcoming and chatty. Highly recommended.

I stumbled onto this bistro when an accident blocked Cutting Road and I needed to kill some time. Very casual. Order at the counter, grab your beverage, and take one of the ten tables. They bring your meal to your table. There was only one other party present when I went in. There are lots of interesting menu items but a special--lamb burger with carmelized onions--spoke to me. It was delicious, as were the fresh fries. The accompanying salad was good but a little heavy on dressing. A draft beer--Boont Amber--went well with my meal. It was one of the better Ambers that I have tried. I would definitely return. The one oddity was needing to request a key for the restrooms. They are reserved for patrons but located at the back of the restaurant so there should not be an issue with noncustomers trying to use them.

Attitude. High price. Pick up your food and be happy that they give it to you. Food was great. Prices heh. I think they are marketing themselves as rebels against yelp. A good thing no doubt. But lose the attitude to real customers. Your almost out in the middle of nowhere. I know of a few more places I would give my custom to. Sorry never again.
