L'opossum never disappoints. The restaurant's menu is unique and the food is spectacular. The dining experience is best described as magical!

The best restaurant in town! The outside of the building is unassuming. If you didn't know, you may pass it by. Entering, you are greeted by friendly and helpful hosts. The decor is somewhere between quirky NOLA and sexy seventies art scene. The lighting is low enough to be romantic and the music is perfect for the surroundings. The staff is well prepared and run like a well oiled machine. We ate at the bar, and let me tell you what a gift it is to be attended to by a bartender who knows what they're doing! Now, the FOOD. The menu is crafted by someone who loves the alchemy of flavors. Everything I have had has been a new experience and I am always pleasantly surprised at how well thought out and delicious every bite is. It is worth the price... Don't miss this place.

The food and decor were eclectic. The service was impeccable. The play list was memorable. I'm ready to return.

Our service was great, the food was good but the price was hefty. For instance, the Fabrege egg appetizer was yummy, but $21 for one egg. Enjoyed our meal but would only visit for a special occasion.
Ronald
The food is always excellent and the service impeccable. This restaurant is so popular that you need to plan in advance. However, the reservation window is limited due to the demand. But always worth the wait because the reward is fantastic.
Gavin
The ambiance was nice, amazing service. Food is a hit or miss. The seating is close, but it wasn't uncomfortable. You're definitely paying for the experience.

Incredible experience with hilariously unhinged menu item names and descriptions. Don't be fooled though, every bite of everything we had was absolutely top notch. We shared three apps, two entrees, and a dessert and none of the courses disappointed. Enjoy this unassuming but amazing restaurant if you can

EVERY DISH WE ORDERED WAS OUTSTANDING. FROM THE GREETING AT THE DOOR TO THE FOOD AND WINE, WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED.

The ambiance is moody and dark, with lighting in the appropriate areas. A hideaway spot that is the best kept secret. Will greeted and sat us at our table. Food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. I had the swellington that was cooked to medium perfection. My friends had the duck and crab cake, which they loved. The lobster mac and cheese was *insert chefs kiss*. Cocktails and brute satisfied our taste buds, and we left with our hearts full. Highly recommend and will be back.
My favorite place to dine. The crab cakes and arctic char were delicious. It was double FF from start to finish

Another fantastic meal at L'Opossum. Truly. Susan is likely the best waitress in all of RVA. For reals. Great specials and wonderful classics on the menu.

**A Dazzling Dining Experience—Richmond at Its Finest** I brought out-of-town colleagues to L'Opossum for dinner, and the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were treated to warm, attentive service and an atmosphere that felt both playful and refined. The attention to detail in every dish was truly impressive—each plate was a visual work of art, and the flavors were layered in a way that only a truly inspired kitchen can achieve. Every bite was a conversation starter. Bold, unexpected combinations came together in perfect harmony, creating a meal that was not only memorable but downright thrilling. My colleagues were absolutely blown away, and I was proud to share one of Richmond's most creative culinary gems with them. Five stars all the way—L'Opossum is a must for anyone who loves food that surprises and delights.
