“Great food, great service, and good atmosphere! We love to go on Tuesdays for Singo. Turned into one of our favorite sports!“

“I held my final Board Meeting of the year at Bartizan the first week of December. I asked that the room be festive and cozy and they knocked it out of the park. The food was delicious with many of my members saying it was the best steak they had ever eaten! Although all of this was great, the best part of the event was the team and staff I worked with to plan the meeting. My Board is still talking about the meeting and how great it was and trust me, that doesn't happen often!“

“Lance was great! Wine was delicious, food too!“

“Birthday trip with my daughter, first time visiting this establishment. A small establishment filled with a smooth relaxing and charming environment. I enjoy the salmon bite basket , seasoned just right. The salmon wasn’t overcooked or dry. The young lady played the flute beautifully, very smoothing. The entire environment was nice. Overall we enjoyed ourselves , will return“

“Celladora was something else entirely.

From the moment we stepped inside, we felt an unexpected mix of comfort and awe. The space is small, just four tables, but it carries a presence that’s artistic, warm, intimate, and quietly electric. They were running a little behind, but it didn’t feel like a delay. Vinny, our incredible server, welcomed us with glasses of chilled rosé, and time instantly slowed in the best way.

What followed was a food experience that felt intentional, layered, and full of soul.

We began with the charcuterie board, trusting their recommended cheeses and meats. Each bite was perfectly curated. The ceviche arrived bright and vibrant, filled with cilantro, Peruvian peppers, and a burst of sweet citrus. The Caesar salad, made with frisée, was a bold and refreshing take on the classic. The pasta with sausage, kale, and pecorino was delicate yet full of flavor, with a beautiful balance of lightness and spice. The pork larb, which I didn’t try due to dietary restrictions, was a favorite at the table; sweet, gingery, and ridiculously delicious.

Then came the dish that truly stopped me: the beef tartare. Herby, bursting with spices like cinnamon, cumin, and just a hint of cardamom. It was rich, memorable, and entirely unique. Paired with ultra-thin pita crackers, it left me speechless. I tried to savor it slowly, but it was impossible not to fall in fast.

When it came to wine, we shared the flavor profiles we typically enjoy with our server. Vinny returned with two perfect selections, each more spot-on than the last. We happily took both to say the least!

Dessert was a blueberry cake with a berry sumac whip. Simple, light, and the sweetest ending to an unforgettable meal.

I don’t leave reviews often. But if you’re debating this restaurant, don’t. And if you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, savor every single moment.“

“Jardin is an absolute treasure in the heart of Richmond. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, intimate, and thoughtfully curated. The service is welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff genuinely seems to care about your experience.

The food? Outstanding. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh and seasonal, and the menu offered a creative twist on familiar favorites. Whether you’re there for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a night out, the ambiance and quality make it feel special.

One of the standout features of Jardin is its garden-inspired setting, lush, calming, and full of charm. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down and savor every bite.

Highly recommend Jardin to anyone looking for elevated dining with a personal touch in Richmond. It’s clear a lot of love goes into everything they do.“

“Cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant. We went on a cold evening when we just didn't have the energy to cook ourselves. Perfect choice! Had fresh fish of the day- super fresh and perfectly prepared. Perfect server. Home made Ceasar salad to start. Again, just right. Highly recommend!!!“

“Very nice place easy to find, might have to drive around a little bit to find parking but it's not too bad. Very cozy old fashioned interior AC. The staff is good kind of get what you want and leave you alone for the most part, could be a little bit more attentive but not bad. The food is crazy good I had the Ted Hanson smoked turkey one of the best sandwiches I've ever had only criticism, I wish the pickled onions were more scattered through the sandwich. Highly recommend this place.“

“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.“

“My husband asked the bartender/head mixologist, Steve Yang, for a gin based dealer's choice and he made the most wonderful drink I've had in a long time. He called it "Some kind of wonderful" it had dill, yogurt, and some other stuff and tasted like some hard to find European candy. Awesome!“

“How can you go wrong? You view the wonderful Frida Kahlo exhibit and then head upstairs to the restaurant for a delightful lunch. A friend from Philadelphia comes to Richmond periodically, and we try and meet up at the VMFA for the art AND for lunch. We always enjoy both. The restaurant is the perfect place for us to not only enjoy a delicious meal but to have the chance to catch up. The setting is lovely, the menu choices varied and appealing, and the food and drinks quite satisfying. Highly recommend.“

“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“From the moment you step into this steakhouse in Richmond, you’re met with nothing but top-notch customer service, but it's the heart and character of the staff that truly sets it apart. During my recent visit, I witnessed an incredibly touching act of kindness that I feel compelled to share.

A homeless lady walked in, inquiring about the price of a dish. When she learned it was beyond her reach, she turned to leave. That’s when Franklin, an employee whose compassion seems as boundless as his professionalism, stepped in. Without a second thought, he personally covered the cost of her meal. It wasn’t just about the food—it was a profound display of genuine respect and humanity.

The steak itself was sublime—perfectly cooked and seasoned to highlight its quality. Every other aspect of the service was equally impressive, reflecting the same standard of excellence Franklin showed.

It’s rare to see such authentic servant leadership; Franklin’s gesture not only made a difference to that lady's day but also deepened my appreciation for this establishment. I wholeheartedly support Franklin and the steakhouse for embodying true hospitality. Though it’s not feasible for acts like these to happen every day, it’s refreshing to see real heart in action.

If you're looking for exceptional food served with genuine care, this is the place to be in Richmond!“

“I love this restaurant! While living around the Mechanicsville area, my husband and I loved to get Chori Pollo. So much so that even now that we have moved away, I will still pop by for this tasty dish. Consistently tasty, well prepared, always on time for pick up and the staff is kind. I have never had any issues, and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We had our 20 year alumni event for about 24 people with dinner, drinks, and dessert. Melissa was super responsive to questions and alterations for the event and the food and service were awesome when we attended. The 2 servers did an excellent job.“
