I mean what else is new? Bookbinders is one of the only perfect restaurants in Richmond. The food is out of this world without having to resort to really weird items. For example, it's hard to tell if a ghost pepper chicken and broccolini burrito is good because you can't compare it to the other ghost pepper chicken and broccolini burrito you had somewhere else. So bookbinders makes what you would expect from a steakhouse that serves some seafood and they do it better...

We came for a birthday. Bookbinder's made the experience special. The hosts were accommodating. The server was patient and knowledgeable. Every bite of food was amazing. The family atmosphere was perfect. This is our favorite spot in Richmond.
