We had dinner at Shagbark in Richmond January 11, 2020. We had a fantastic meal, but I really wish to highlight our amazing service professional, Anya. She appeared to have many tables during our meal, a busy dining hour on Saturday night, no doubt and I know it’s her job, but she was above and beyond, leaving all four members of our party thoroughly impressed.
You see, Anya has this incredible presence, comfortable in her own skin and a master of the wine and food menus. She was able to guide us seamlessly when we sought her opinions on choices. As a result, Anya single-handedly elevated our first experience at Shagbark to epic. Well done Anya, Shagbark is very, very lucky to have you kindly guiding patrons to their most enjoyable experience. Thank you, Anya & Shagbark!!!

Went with a party of 8, and we all loved it. Would highly recommend the Duck!

Absolutely amazing every time I’ve dined here. Currently their menu has chicken fried oysters and the best Vidalia onion soup I’ve ever tasted.

I was extremely disappointed in the strip special. The meat was tough and I had hoped the sauce would make up for it but the plate was very bland - no flavor at all. I was very surprised as I was looking forward to another wonderful meal that Shagbark has impressed me with so many times before.

First time visiting this place. Party of five to include my 3yr old and ALL of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a high hair and a small kids menu. Ambiance was nice throughout however we were sat right under an AC vent and we were chilly. Our server was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. We had the charcuterie board which was plentiful and the pork belly melted in your mouth! Second picture is the chicken dish which was so tender and flavorful. The risotto is some of the best I’ve had. Others in my party raved about the duck and flounder. Sticky toffee pudding with bourbon gelato was a perfect ending. We will definitely be back!

Very pricey. The host tried to seat the two of us in a back corner where no one was sitting and there were plenty of seats throughout the main area. We just left the restaurant.

We always enjoy our meals at Shagbark. One of the best restaurants in Richmond. The service is great, and they offer an extended wine list along with a bar full of flavorful cocktails. The food is consistently delicious and very well prepared.
This time we ordered the salmon, shrimp pasta, beet salad, and squash blossoms — everything was excellent.
One suggestion: consider adding a beef dish. They have a great range of proteins, but a steak with the chef’s twist would be a fantastic addition.
Parking is easy, and the location is convenient with quick access to several highways and Richmond hotspots. Highly recommend.

Had Miguel as a bartender, and had a great time. Knowledgeable, personable, and knew everything on the menu. Would highly recommend this place
We had cocktails at the bar before our reservation. The service, food, drinks at the bar and the dining room were outstanding.

Softshell crab appetizer was Amazing Good! Had that and a few drinks.
Matt Oliver
Fantastic food in the Henrico area of Richmond! The charcuterie board of Virginia local items and the pork chop were both amazing!

This restaurant used to offer an exceptional culinary experience but that proved to be ephemeral. It now boasts a meretricious atmosphere. Not one to complain, I commented on my duck being overcooked and the server flippantly listened to me then returned with two miniature macaroons as an “apology”? I miss the days of adequate customer service.
