Alewife offers an inviting dining experience with friendly and attentive service. The restaurant features a unique and delicious menu, especially focusing on seafood, which has been praised as some of the best in Richmond. The atmosphere has a casual yet upscale vibe, and the restaurant is known for its delicious, innovative cocktails like the "Bulls on Parade" and the rotating "Siren Song," a chef's appetizer pairing of fish leftovers that changes daily. Guests often enjoy oysters, fish dip, soft shell crab, and dishes with gochujang BBQ sauce. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, bright, and airy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed yet refined meal.
The menu offers rustic and delicious dishes that excel on basic points and sheer tastiness, while still managing to be surprising and mind-expanding in subtle but noticeable ways. The gnocchi is perfectly cooked, supple and pillowy on the inside, just a bit crispy and toasted on the outside. The combo of blue cheese and candied pecans is mind-blowing as a sauce. The oysters are huge, fresh and clean-tasting, adorned by understated but surprising flavors. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, ensuring every guest feels welcome and cared for.
