17 Best Wine Bars in Richmond

“Had to make a stop downtown for business and grabbed an early dinner right before Christmas. It was our first time trying this spot. It was so wonderful, the food, the server, atmosphere and the creative creation when I asked for one of their signature cocktails to be hot vs iced. Happy new year and here’s to wonderful food and company!“

“Lance was great! Wine was delicious, food too!“

“Attended the Wade Cellars wine tasting hosted here by Chef Mike Lindsey and it was phenomenal.The restaurant is on the smaller side, but very well put together, inviting, and has charm.I haven't tried menu items from Jubilee yet, but after this experience, we will definitely be back!“

“Great visit! I came for happy hour with some colleagues. The happy hour menu has some great deals. We got fries for eh while table. I ordered beef & chicken empanadas and the karaoke kool aid. Good drinks & great service. Got busy towards end for jazz night and our server for a little overwhelmed, but was still sweet and friendly! As for the vibe, I love all the photos around the place. There's a little stage on the side, not just for jazz night but apparently they hold events almost every night. Once it started getting dark out, it seemed more like an intimate jazz club with low, blue lights and table side lights & candles. Will definitely have to come back and try other items on the menu, it all sounded so good.“

“One of the best restaurants in Richmond, my personal favorite. Celladora is small, approachable, inviting and absolutely delicious. Megan and her team make you feel like you’re at a friend’s house that just so happens to have the best wine selection and a small, thoughtful menu. I love this place “

“Such a good energy and vibe here.“

“And great mimosas! Also a nice patio to enjoy the day.“

“We finally found a wonderful Spanish tapas restaurant. We love the small plates from Spain and Portugal when we travel there and this restaurant takes us back. We ordered too much food but so worth it to try many items. The atmosphere is quaint and intimate, and the service was great and perfect how they didn’t rush sending out items but staggered them as we finished. The wine selection is excellent with great prices. This is going to become one our go to restaurants and is just what Richmond needs!“

“My date and I decided on the newest ML Steak location in the Chesterfield Town Center on a rainy, romantic Wednesday evening. These guys absolutely hit it out of the park. We sat at the bar where we were promptly served by our bartender Tom. We could not have been given better service: Tom explained the menu with both detail and passion to the point we were nearly hypnotized at the end. It’s the kind of professional level service that you rarely see anymore but we experienced it here. Tom would even transfer Felicia’s beer into a frosty pint glass if it were sitting too long. These little details truly make the difference. I ordered the Beast Burger and I may have had a better burger in my life but nothing comes to mind right now because this thing was a juicy culinary masterpiece of bison and boar meat. Felicia gave me some of her fried smoke half chicken and it was equally amazing. Chicken smoked in house and given a special blend of spices. We couldn’t have been happier with the total dining experience here at ML Steak, including the ambiance. It’s the type of restaurant experience that has become rare today but needs to be experienced and celebrated. Bravo! We will be back!“

“Amazing! The most delicious food you could possibly imagine!!!!“

“Enoteca Sogno sets the bar for excellent Italian cuisine in Richmond. Tucked away in a nondescript building in Bellevue, this cozy, welcoming restaurant offers incredibly delightful Italian dishes and a robust wine list. I was DD but I heard great things about the Moscato wine. We ordered the robiola cheese to start, which came with their super lovely homemade bread. We needed a second helping of that. Even the olive oil was clearly high quality. For my meal, I opted for the crespelle pasta special, which was basically like a pasta crepe with spinach, bechamel, and cheese with marinara. It was so good and not sickeningly filling, which was an added plus. It let me save room for their lemon mascarpone cake for dessert! Service was prompt and friendly. I was glad we were able to score a table on a rainy Wednesday evening. For busier times, I'd definitely book a reservation.“

“Reservation only. We walked in and got lucky because I think a party cancelled so we got a seat for 5. I ordered the turkey wings, fried cabbage, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I enjoyed the wings but I think one of my wings could have been cooked a little longer so it would have been more fall off the bone. The cabbage was ok. Not nasty, just not my taste and I enjoyed my mashed potatoes. My fiance ordered the catfish. He said he wished it was seasoned a little more but his yams were delicious! My mom had the baked wings and collard greens. That was delicious and my step dad's french fries were delicious. The main character was the cornbread.....OOOOOOMYGOD! THEY WERE DELICIOUS! Definitely the highlight of my meal!! I loved the ambiance and that it's black owned. I would come back and try something different for sure!“

“The food was delicious, service was impeccable, definitely plan on going back!!! 10/10.“

“The vegetable quiche I had was delicious-fluffy and rich and very satisfying! My friend had the cauliflower curry soup and she gave me a taste-it was superb! Creamy and the spice was spot on. We lingered at the table and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves'“

“We had a great experience at Jardin. The wine was a little pricey but with a healthy pour. We had delicious charcuterie and the bread was just baked. The service was on point! The teamwork of the staff was impressive. We will definitely go back for the meatball sandwich.“

“My husband asked the bartender/head mixologist, Steve Yang, for a gin based dealer's choice and he made the most wonderful drink I've had in a long time. He called it "Some kind of wonderful" it had dill, yogurt, and some other stuff and tasted like some hard to find European candy. Awesome!“

“We ate at La Grotta for the first time last night. It will be the first of many! The service, food, and ambiance were spectacular. We were a party of 3 and each of us cleaned our plates. Our friend with Celiac could choose from almost the entire menu which is unheard of, especially at an Italian restaurant. If you're looking for a truly delicious meal, you'll find it at La Grotta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
