“Dear Emilia and Chef Joe, (a letter of thanks for a recent evening event for 62 ladies of The Fan Woman's Club) You and your staff have earned our highest admiration and gratitude in making The Tasting Supper an overwhelming success. This was truly a night sans pareil for all members of the Fan Women’s Club. You curated a seasonal menu elevated by quality farm-to-table ingredients with a combination of extraordinary flavors; crafted a French 75 that could rival the original; your staff provided impeccable and seamless service; and your restaurant gave us an intimate and jovial venue in which to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have no doubt you’ll be seeing members of the Fan Women’s Club as regular diners in the months and years to come.“

“Just had a fantastic New Year's Eve dinner, complete with champagne. Primo service as always.“

“We went to Grisette based on the reviews here and as hard it is to believe, Grisette lived up to the billing. Service was excellent, knowledgable, personable, and well timed. We had a dealer's choice prepared for us and it was excellent, we continued to drink rounds of them throughout our meal, a precise balance of fruity, tart, and gently bitter through the finale. The smorgasbord was delicious, we chose our own assortment, but it was totally enlivened by the accompanying pickles and fruit, and the bread, which was spectacular. I could have made a meal out of the bread and butter alone. We wwent steak heavy for dinner, though my wife had a duck breast, which she loved. We ordered both the steak upgrade, which was a dry aged strip steak when we were there, as well as the denver steak which is the standard steak frittes here. The strip was definitely worth the upgrade, a very nice piece of meat, properly cooked and accompanied by deliciously crisp and potatoey fries. The denver steak was fine, a smaller portion which would be better suited for a midweek meal for me, but not as succulent as the strip. Desserts are few, well executed profiteroles as well as a chocolate flan on ths night which more closely resembled a chocolate mousse cake, so rich, silken, and accompanied by scotch poached pears which would have made for a might fine dessert on there own if accompanied by some gently spiced vanilla alced ice cream. With all the drinks and upgrade steaks it was not an inexpensive evening, though one can certainly eat here on a budget. Even though it turned out to be pricier than expected the value proposition here is terrific, you get great food for your money. I hate to join the chorus and heap glowing praise on here, but if you can try it you should. Grisette should have. michelin star, it does what it does exceptionally well and with a sense of pride and passion. We ate on the patio, which we loved, but that's the only reason for the 4 star review for atmosphere which will bring down the score a hair perhaps, not going to keep us from returning though!“

“I had the Atlantic omelette and I was so impressed. It truly had lump crab and lobster in the omelette some omelettes when you deal with seafood are skimpy with the crab and lobster, but hands-down Lulu was one of the best and their omelette was truly well done sometimes omelettes are not cooked all the way through. It was just an amazing experience for me, I was thoroughly impressed. I will be coming back lol 😂 I saw 👀 the chicken and red velvet waffles!“

“🇮🇳 Girls Indian lunch date🇮🇳 - Newly opened (Dec ‘22) restuarant serving modern indian cuisines - Beautifully decorated atmosphere - Delicious food w/ even a twist of a warm avocado/coconut patty option on the appetizer menu! - Friendly staff and restuarant manager - Immaculate restrooms“

“I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place and it was all true! The food was very delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. I had the butter chicken and my husband got the lamb and mushrooms and they were both really tasty. Staff was nice, everything was clean, and the dining room was pretty. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down some of the BEST food I have ever had. As for Indian, best Indian I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! We will be back to try many other items.“

“Gersi Italian Restaurant in Richmond, VA is straight-up lit. This place is bussin with vibes that are just chef's kiss. The food? Absolute fire. Their homemade pastas are on another level, especially the Limone pasta and skirt steak. And if you haven't tried their vanilla Panna cotta, you're missing out big time. The atmosphere is skibiddi cool, with a perfect mix of cozy and classy. It's the kind of spot where you can flex your riz on a date or just chill with the squad. The service is top-notch too, making you feel like a sigma alpha. Prices are pretty standard for a nice Italian joint, with pasta dishes ranging from $17.95 to $23.95 before tax. And if you're feeling adventurous, their kale salad and homemade tagliatelle Bolognese are definitely worth a shot and the chicken parm slaps! Overall, Gersi is a solid pick if you're in the mood for some legit Italian food in Richmond. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure your drip is fire -Gersi is worth checking out! And ask for Erika she’s sigma!“

“The food was excellent! Had the Japanese burger and Key lime pie and will definitely be back for more.“

“I ordered the hamburger with fries. It was a dollar or two less than the restaurant next door. I am so glad I did because the burger was fantastic! Very fresh and a great tasting. The service was great too. Yes, it cost a little more at other locations but hey, we are at an airport! I don't expect to see prices like we would see in the community.“

“Delicious food, mediocre service and 0 stars for not being friendly to kids. Would not recommend bringing your kids here as you’ll get lots of eye rolls and passive aggressive attitudes towards your children. Also asked for a replacement Thai iced tea after mine came with coconut milk and was supposed to be half and half and serve was very clearly frustrated and offered zero resolution other than “being out of half and half so that’s all we can do”. Will just order carry out next time so we don’t have to deal with the poor service.“

“Great place to grab good food and great margaritas, Grant and Sam were amazing!!“

“My teenage niece and I had a blast playing the new mini golf holes! The space theme inside is really cool, the topiary animals outside are neat and all the holes are quirky and fun! We played twice and had a nice lunch in between.“

“Wonderful, dense, New England style ice cream. I’ve yet to try a flavor that was not absolutely wonderful. Inventive flavors. You can’t go wrong with anything these guys put out. Also very friendly staff!“

“DRR catered our wedding on 6/8/24. They were punctual, professional, and knew what they were doing! I had a stress free day with them at my wedding! The bartender was also incredibly personable! She had even took time to visit my wedding website so she knew what to expect. I was shocked (in a positive way!) it truly shows just how dedicated they are to their customers. From the taste testing to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for better people to work with! We also received lots of compliments on how well the food tasted!! Their sweet potatoes are to die for, but seriously, all of their food is delicious!! Stop here for your BBQ wedding menu!!“

“The atmosphere here is wonderful and the place is extremely clean.

You can tell that they care because I did not see a speck of dust anywhere!

If you need any accommodations, just ask them and they will let you know what they can and cannot do.

Easy to find and easy to get to.

The employees here are very positive and know their menu from top to bottom!

Overall, a wonderful experience and I will be back again!

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾“

“I have been twice now and both times the food was great. The view is outside is gorgeous btw. Now as for the food the menu is a variety of dishes themed from different parts of the world. It honestly doesn’t matter what you get it’s going to be delicious. If it’s on the menu when you go I highly recommend the Georgian flatbread, the bao buns, the chorreadas, or the cachapas!“

“**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.“

“The food was delicious! A must try in my opinion.“

“SO many great flavors to choose from; roasted strawberry will spoil you on regular strawberry ice cream forever! The cannoli ice cream(with mini cannoli shell) was excellent. My daughter always gets a sweet little macaron on top of whatever she chooses. It’s such a great spot to grab a great scoop (or two!) of ice cream.“

“Best beef brisket I’ve ever eaten in my life. I wish they had different side options. Didn’t like a single one. If they don’t want to make fries, then offer bags of chips. Not everyone likes spicy sides. That was my only disappointment. But man … that brisket was the BEST!“

“Mom loved her filet mignon and for me the vegan chicken (crispy fried oyster mushroom) was) paradise. Get a tea before your meal, their blends are delicious. Lovely place.“

“Local gem with incredible food and a super friendly owner and staff! I regularly order food from the deli. This place is amazing! One of the best steak subs in Richmond (made with Halal steak and organic local ingredients), and at a price you can’t beat with their Monday and Tuesday special! They also have a lot of delicious, hard to find items in their grocery section. I highly recommend you check this place out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“What a great find for a short trip to Richmond. If you’re in the mood for simple yet great breakfast - this is the place. Waffles, eggs and delicious coffee. No matter what you get, they will not disappoint and the service is also fantastic.“

“My first visit to The Boathouse in Richmond was nothing short of exceptional. We were seated outside on the patio, which provided a perfect view and a relaxing atmosphere. The food was incredible every dish was well-prepared and flavorful, and the drinks were just as impressive. Our waitress, Veronica, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was absolutely amazing – patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She checked on us regularly and had spot-on recommendations for everything we ordered. Her warm and welcoming personality added such a personal touch to our dining experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but The Boathouse exceeded my expectations. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and exceptional service.“

“Always Delivers! do you want some great Homestyle cooking you can’t beat this👍🏻✌🏼“

“I love this place! The food is terrific and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. I've had the classic samosa, golden milk chai and desi lo mein. Each was out of this world! The owner strives to make his guests feel at home and encourages you to mingle and make new friends. I encourage you to try Gold Lion for the food, drink and friendly vibe!“

“Was visiting Richmond & found this 💎 gem. With gluten-free options I was able to enjoy & devour the sausage/kale & garlic pizza. Outdoor dining patio was perfect“

“We stopped here based on a friends recommendation and he was spot on. Staff were friendly and attentive! The atmosphere is really cool with hanging sound dampeners with plants as well. The Bar is huge with a great selection. We ordered the pork rind nachos.. oh Yum. They came out crackling and popping with pulled pork and spicy jalapeños and cheese sauce. My Dinner was their Crab cakes - deliciousness light and fluffy and oh the Brussel sprouts with the pork belly were Great! The wife had a short rib appetizer for her dinner and it was fall apart yummy. Her Mac and cheese was great too - it was the heaviest Mac n cheese I have ever had. The our son got the Shrimp and Grits. He said they were great and the grits were really cheesy too. Thank you for a great dining experience! We shall return when we are down this way again.“

“Tried their gyro platters with white sauce n just little hot sauce on side.it was so delicious.loved this cozy place with so many options.“
