Made reservations for a birthday dinner. Meatballs were great as an appetizer but overpriced. Dinner entree selections were minimal and after deciding online what to eat from their online menu, found out after my meal Was served that the meal did not come with the broccolini listed on the online menu. Took at least 15 minutes for them to resolve and made it more complicated than it needed to be. The potatoes served with the steak were practically burnt and left a burnt flavor. It was like overcooked potato chips. Not what i expected for a $32 meal. The risotto was terrible and the flavor very off putting. When the broccolini finally came it was super bland and i had to ask for salt and pepper as there were none on the table. The apple dessert was great. For $170 meal, i was not impressed. The leaning pink undecorated trees in the lobby could have been straightened and decorated. No frills for a bday celebration or any special gesture. Will not return for dinner which is unfortunate bc its a cute spot and has potential.

This place is special all year round, but it's just magical at Christmas. The high ceilings and architectural detail just thrive when filled with ribbon garland and pink Christmas trees. Loved the holiday cocktail menu, attentive staff, and of course, the beautiful pink decor. Magical!

My wedding florist business, Lael Florals, ended our team's end-of-year celebration at Quirk Hotel's Lobby Bar with dessert and coffee, and it was the sweetest nightcap we could have asked for. We all shared the chocolate mousse and the pumpkin bar, paired with hot lattes to close out the evening, and every single bite was outstanding. The candied ginger on the pumpkin bar was divine and the tiny edible floral detail on the brownie brittle chocolate mousse was to die for.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The cozy table lamps were such a favorite detail, and the pink everywhere made the space feel both festive and playful. It was the perfect place to slow down together after a full evening of celebrating.

We were so well taken care of by our waitress, who was incredibly kind and even wished us well and congratulated us on a wedding season well done. That small, personal touch meant more than she probably knew.

We also fully took advantage of the pink Christmas décor and soaked up every second of it. Truly the best possible way to end our night out together.

Can’t fathom why people have scored them lower. Great chef and staff, excellent rotating menu that repeats favorites occasionally. Nice atmosphere, never empty and never crowded. I have been here more than any other restaurant in the city and I love it.

We attended for Richmond Restaurant Week and had a great dinner. Our server, Lila, was amazing! She was knowledgeable, helpful, polite, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our dinner. The RRW food was exquisite and had a very impressive menu. We will definitely be back!

Had the butternut Squash and apple bisque nd the Halibut. The bisque was good but the bowl had a crack in it. The halibut was too salty for me but edible. The veggies were a little soggy. Had 2 old fashions. They were average. Not sure I’d bother going again for the price.

Had a great time at The Lobby Bar in Richmond! The atmosphere was stylish and we LOVED all the pink! Perfect for a night out or a casual drink. The cocktail menu was creative and well-executed, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a spot I’d return to and recommend to others looking for a quality bar experience in the city.

Valentine’s prix fixe menu was small and incredibly expensive for the quality of food that was offered. Our meals were not just flavorless, but also served cold. Server was nice enough but food took forever to come out. Drinks are good but given the overall experience I would not return.

I’ve come on three separate occasions trying to attend their pop up bar they advertise online. Every time I’ve come they’ve closed it for private events without posting it online and/or don’t include it anywhere when making a reservation. After the second time I came with it being closed I asked when It would be open next to be told this past Saturday it was closed yet again for private events. It’s Really frustrating… I think the concept of the pop up bar would be great if they actually adhered to the times they advertise when it’s open online. Or offered the speciality drinks at the normal bar. I usually really like this restaurant overall and am disappointed to have to leave this review.
