“Perfect performance venue with the best audience on the planet.“

“Tier 7 provided their private chef services for my birthday this year and I HIGHLY recommend them! The food was delicious, the peach cobbler was melt-in-your-mouth good! The decor was beautiful (I was zero help setting the theme). I really appreciate how easy it was to plan with them. We set the menu in one phone call and Tierra and Team took it from there. The result was an amazing experience! Thank you again!“

“This is my favorite Panera Bread by far. They’ve never messed up my order and the quality is the best here. I had the best Mediterranean veggie sandwhich ever, thank you!! It was pleasantly filled and so crisp, as you can tell I already took a bite, that good!“

“Panera has a different, but tasty, menu so it's really worth trying if you haven't. This location has great customer service and it's clean. I enjoyed my recent visit and my wife has been here several times recently, so check it out.“

“The customer service was outstanding.“

“It’s incredible...probably the best Indian food in Richmond. Maybe some of the best...period. Chicken 65 and butter chicken are insanely good.“

“Front counter staff is friendly and quick and if you've been there, you've likely met the owner, Olaf. He takes great care of his guests. The place is super clean with tons of seating. Clearly, everyone has found out about it because it's busier every time I go—and I almost always run into someone I know. But there's still plenty of seating. High-quality coffee and food, great atmosphere, and you're supporting a local small business.“

“love everything about this place“

“I think I found my new favorite breakfast restaurant! We ate the awaze tibs and the lala shiro. I'm celiac, so I ordered mine with the more traditional gluten free injera. Both dishes were filling and full of flavor.“

“One of the warmest coffee shops with amazing staff - but the coffee is the real showcase. Incredible!“

“Best place in RVA for Breakfast“

“I had the Atlantic omelette and I was so impressed. It truly had lump crab and lobster in the omelette some omelettes when you deal with seafood are skimpy with the crab and lobster, but hands-down Lulu was one of the best and their omelette was truly well done sometimes omelettes are not cooked all the way through. It was just an amazing experience for me, I was thoroughly impressed. I will be coming back lol 😂 I saw 👀 the chicken and red velvet waffles!“

“I highly recommend Front Porch for those who are gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I had no issues. The GF bread was normal size! The Reuben was yummy, the potato salad was delicious and creamy, and the pound cake was so so good!!“

“Went here to get late lunch on a Thursday. I loved the small, cozy vibe. Employees were very kind and the chicken parm sub I had was probably the best I’ve ever had (and that’s my thing). The chicken was perfectly seared and very lightly breaded - I was skeptical at first, but omg it was delicious. Also, the fellow patrons were very friendly and the staff interacted with them which is rare these days. Can’t wait to try brunch.“

“The atmosphere is cozy and the service and food is amazing. Wonderful selection of Teas to choose from.“

“My best friend and I scheduled an afternoon tea to celebrate our friendship The Queen’s Library Tea Room was perfectly perfect. The service, food and tea were all amazing. This is a must do in Richmond! We will be back!“

“Really enjoyed this place. The space, the service, the coffee!!!!
Found this place off of the reviews, and walked over from the hotel. While on a road trip, you don't find many flood coffee places, Lift was awesomeness!!!
Walked in and ordered, asked for a cup of water for the pup, guy tells me they have a bowl out back. He made sure the water was fresh for us.
While walking that way, I also realized they served hot food. So glad, because it was great. Sat in the outdoor space with the pup and enjoyed!
Not sure if I mentioned, the coffee!!! It was so good, I left with an extra one to go!!!
The outdoor space was super welcoming and spacious. Also, there is parking out back.
Check 'em out!!!“

“Best BLT I’ve ever had staff is super friendly and service was quick and amazing 10/10“

“Whenever I’m in town. I visit here. Love their bagels and vegan options.“

“The realest hidden gem in Richmond. Tucked away in the corner of an office building, the food at Nunu’s Cafe is incredible and the owner is so sweet, she gave us a free drink and even cut everything in half for me and my friend to share! We got the chicken salad croissant (her specialty), chicken cordon bleu, and nutella and apricot cookies. Inhaled within minutes.“

“Went to grab coffee waited about 15 min for coffee and had to leave it was super slow and lost money .. truly just thought it would be a much quicker experience have never had this issue before but hopefully things will improve“

“Took my German client to this amazing restaurant and she was blissful! I’ve been many times and try to share this phenomenal dining experience with others whenever possible. High quality ingredients, all dishes are made to order and fresh and hot and delicious, generous portions and the bread is to die for! The server was delightful and so was the gentleman running the front. I can’t say enough good things! Go, enjoy!“

“Great food, awesome staff.“

“I enjoyed a Make Your Own breakfast burrito and iced coffee.“

“Today Amuse is getting 4 stars instead of the usual 5. We showed up to our reservation 10 minutes early and could not be seated at our table (which was available) because the kitchen was busy. ?? Once we got seated had been approached by the waitress (who was quite busy) for our food order, we had to ask her to come back because we had not have time with our cocktail and decide on our meal. We ordered the duck breast and the New York strip steak. Both were of the excellent quality and tasty that we have come to expect here. However neither dish was hot except for the French fries. It seems that Amuse all around were having timing issues and not handling the pressures of lunch service. Had this been our fist visit, we would have second thoughts about coming back.“

“As an Italian tourist visiting Virginia, I can confidently say that this is the best place I’ve eaten at during my time in Hanover. The staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and sincere, making me feel very welcome. The prices are excellent, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. It’s truly a wonderful place, and I highly recommend it!“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever ate I'm my life..Like the location and atmosphere..Loved the Nehi soda and other drinks they have without having the nanotechnology inside the drinks..Expect to see me as a regular because food was delicious 😋“

“I do not recommend. I want to shop small but this place is not it. Very slow service.“

“The food is always delicious and the staff is super friendly!“

“Great, year-round market!“

“First time eating at First Watch and it was a great lunch.“

“I was visit my parents and walked through our neighborhood to get some local coffee and breakfast on a Sunday morning. While I couldn’t sit/order inside because of the dogs, the barista was more than accommodating to take my order from their outdoor seating and bring me my food and drink. I don’t think it was on the menu but I ordered and espresso soda (espresso, club soda, vanilla syrup) and the barista was once again very accommodating and made it no problem. It was super good! I also ordered an egg and cheese on an English muffin which was delicious. Seemed like white cheddar and a soft fried egg. Would highly recommend this local place! I also appreciated how early they were open on a Sunday morning. I paid about $11 before tipping.“

“Yum! Their Blanchard coffee selection is yummy. I've only tried 3 drinks, so I'm still choosing a favorite. From the pastry side, great options--muffins are tasty and the sweet potato biscuits are definitely on point. Finally, the ability to eat a panini outside in a courtyard...priceless.“

“We ordered the Dutch Aunt and Croque Provençal and they were delicious. The potato salad was not to my liking because I’m not a fan of capers and onions in it. However the other people in our party loved it. The restaurant is extremely small so the service was slow. That was to be expected so we just enjoyed each others company while waiting.“

“Great selection of fresh vegetables and the widest variety of indian groceries and spices around!“

“I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!“

“The owner is so sweet! She and her husband are so friendly and nice. Come for the food and for the conversations ^^ she makes great drinks! They have delicious ice cream flavors and a great way to get out of the sun - come check it out!

Also check out these fruit arrangements! So beautiful - she does it all by herself. Ask about these packages!

Also, look at these ice cream flavors - cinnamon churro and cotton candy! You gotta check it out.“

“Flatbread pizza is great. And the service was excellent“

“It's the hotel lobby. It's not a true restaurant. You order at the bar. The salmon bowl was fantastic. But if you're looking for a sit down with a restaurant feel, this isn't it. The front desk staff looked confused when we said we made a reservation. But the food was very good!“

“How can something be so beautiful and so yummy at the same time?! I absolutely love Perk for their coffee drinks, gluten free bagels sandwiches, their staff is the best… you def gotta check em out!“
