I’ve eaten here several times with my wife for lunch and dinner and mid-afternoon breaks. The food is about the best I’ve had in the Richmond area. Delicious and nice presentation. The staff have always been excellent: knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and enthusiastic. They make us feel like they are happy to be there, and happy that we are there too. The restrooms were clean which I think says a lot about a restaurant. The prices are on the high side but well worth it considering the quality of the food and service.

Dining partner had the charred octopus which was fabulous. My shrimp small plate was excellent. Lots of garlic and butter! Will definetely come back again!

I've been here twice now. LOVE the atmosphere and style of this restaurant. The staff is always very friendly.
Mixed drinks are excellent! Especially the espresso martini and homemade Limoncello.

Tres Leches dessert was fabulous!

Crab cake was solid! I would say 7/10. The chipotle aioli was a different spin on it. It was cooked perfectly and had real crab. You only get one.

I will be returning to try more items on the menu. Overall a great experience. Definitely recommend.

DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE! My wife and I decided to sit outside and the bugs were horrible. One table had ants and the flys were terrible. The food was good and the waiter was amazing. I like this spot but they definitely need to have the outside area sprayed for bugs.

We had another delicious meal with fine service and a leisurely time to talk and enjoy the atmosphere. From the glass of wine served with tasty bread and olive oil before our appetizer arrived through to the coffee after dinner, we could not have been happier.

Second time visiting after a decent 1st experience with my wife. This time we were a party of 5. The food is decent and the atmosphere is nice though the restaurant was cold with the AC blowing at 64 which seemed excessive. The problem for me was the service. Entrees were served 1 1/2 hours after we first sat down which is very poor and at the end of the meal the waitress failed to mention that the gratuity of 20% was included. Without realizing I tipped an additional 20%. If you are going to include the gratuity it should be the responsibility of the server to point this out not just accept an additional 20% which felt an unseemly end to the evening. In addition when explaining what the specials are on the evening the server should really mention price. Most restaurants do. I ordered a special of Scottish salmon, rice and vegetables and when I looked at the itemized bill the next day I was shocked that it was $49.00. So overall, because of the poor service experience and to be honest over priced food I would not recommend this restaurant & if you do visit be sure to check the itemized bill for gratuity fees that they sneakily failed to disclose. Unless you like to leave a 40% tip then I guess it does not matter!
