Alewife

We went for a restaurant week and it was very well organized. Please be aware you’re in restaurant week you can only get the restaurant week menu. I liked everything except my entrée I found my entrée very salty but I like my boyfriends Entree it was very tasty. I had the duck! The muscle appetizer was scrumptious! We loved it the descriptions of the wines and of the cocktails and we enjoyed our choices!

This small cozy little restaurant is a must try! I think the menu does change every week or so based on availability of ingredients. Everything I got was delicious though! I got the Crispy Rock Shrimp, Crispy Whole Fish with Vegetable Fried Rice with Umami Aioli and Pickles (which was a special), Rainbow Trout, and Matcha Pavlova. The crispy rock shrimp tasted kind of like a sweet and spicy corn bread covered shrimp. It was definitely super flavorful. The Rainbow Trout is a must try! So well seasoned, so good! Service and staff were all so helpful and friend. Will definitely come back to try more!

Wonderful food and one of the best wine menus I’ve seen in Richmond. Definitely will be back, but make sure to book reservations in advance the restaurant is pretty small. The menu rotates weekly to ensure everything is fresh and in-season. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: No Delivery: No Curbside pickup: No … More
