Midlothian Chef's Kitchen

Ate at the bar. Amazing service! Had the chicken breast with puree parsnips. Delicious! Amazing cocktails and basil cake! If you haven't been- take this as your sign to go.

We went there for our anniversary celebration. Everything was fantastic. Our server, Ben, was awesome. The food was fabulous. Highly recommend!

Food was absolutely creative and delicious. Server recommendations were spot on. The ambiance was pleasant and customer service was wonderful.

A casual eatery that's a bit more upscale with excellent food and terrific service. It punches above its weight and at this point it's become a “go to” for us when we're looking for better food in a conveniently located restaurant that's an excellent value.

The food and service were both outstanding on our very first visit( a Saturday night). Our server was really knowledgeable and was able to answer every question we had about the menu. Drinks were also excellent and came out quickly. For an appetizer we ordered the pork dumplings - the texture and flavor were really good, but the broth around them was the star of the show. We ordered the filet and the rockfish as entrees - and both tried each others. Some of the best filet I've had in Richmond and the rockfish with lobster cream was unreal delicious. The price for everything - 3 mixed drinks, 2 warm crusty breads w/ honey butter (omg), an app and 2 entrees was far below what we'd have paid at the downtown French restaurant we originally had reservations for. The atmosphere was pretty underwhelming, it honestly doesn't look like much, but the quality of food and service was absolutely on par with several more expensive well known RVA places we've visited. Looked like there was plenty of seating while we were there too - I think people might be sleeping on this place.

Ate outside on the patio on a very nice September Friday evening. Food and service were all very good.

Midlo Chefs Kitchen was at the top of my go to list. Unfortunately this visit was not the best. Curent menu you will definitely need to order some apps or salad to make it a meal. Taste of the selection was good but portions are petite. I could go on but I reserve that until my next visit to see it it was just a bad night.

The food was amazing. Starting with the bread and honey butter. The pork chops were delicious, tender and presented beautifully. The portion size was generous enough for leftovers. Great find!

We arrived before happy hour was over and had fabulous drinks prepared by an extremely personable and talented bar staff person. When the rest of our party arrived we moved to a table and had a delightful waitperson ( he served us another time when dining there and we were happy to have him again). Our dinner was excellent especially the corn and crab soup and the pork chop. Thank you for another lovely meal.

Nice ambience, quick service, delicious food! Started with the Crab and Corn Chowder for me and hubby selected the Garden Salad. My soup was rich and loaded with crabmeat. There was crisp corn and micro greens which were perfect compliments. They brought the table some crusty bread and honey butter which were wonderful. Entrees were the Rockfish for me and hubby chose the Salmon. Both were seared to perfection but not overcooked. I was so stuffed that I didn't order dessert, but hubby is always up for a nice chocolate panna cotta. I tasted it and wished I could have made room in my "dessert stomach"! We will definitely return!

Excellent appetizers and main course selections. The dumplings and rockfish were exceptional! Service is also excellent, and management checked often to ensure our satisfaction. I would highly recommend as an upscale establishment.

I am gluten free, and as most people know, that sucks and our options are limited. I had read previous reviews on a GF Facebook group, so we decided to try out the restaurant. Our server, Lauren, was wonderful, and described how they could make certain items gf for me, but the highlight of my evening was when she asked if we wanted bread for the table. My husband usually says “yes” and I just glare at him. Last night he said “no”, but then Lauren informed me she could have the kitchen toast me up some gf bread, so we said “sure, why not”, and that toasted gf bread was the best I have ever had! Truthfully, it was the amazing lemon honey butter, but having the option for bread truly made my night. The rockfish was amazing, and they chopped the snow peas, which is something I will do in the future, it was an enjoyable way to experience them.

From the moment we arrived we were met with real family atmosphere and hearty welcome. Lauren our waitress was very genuine and hospitable. She went out of her way to ensure our meal was amazing. We are new to the area and this was our first meal out. Best decision we made. We will be back !

We had early reservations so we were alone in the space for about a half hour which we liked. Our waiter was engaging and knowledgeable about the food offered. We would definitely return.

My partner and I are teachers and do not go out to eat often. We were excited to try something new, but were disappointed in our overall eating experience at Midlothian Chef’s Kitchen. (Our waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.)
For our starter, we had the Charcuterie board which was not very palatable. If you like very strong cheese, pickled gooseberries, and extremely chewy prosciutto then $17 may be worth it for you… but we left over half of it untouched.
For my entrée I ordered the Filet Mignon. My main positive point is that the steak was cooked to a beautiful medium per my request, very tender. However, the potatoes au gratin were burnt with little flavor, and the carrot purée on the plate was far too sweet.
My partner ordered salmon, as it is one of his favorites, and this dish was also a let down.
We opted to skip dessert and grab ice cream elsewhere. Unfortunately, we will not be returning for another meal here.
