Fantastic bar and event space! We visited for a wedding welcome party and met up with the bridal party post rehearsal dinner. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly + the owner chatted with us for a long time! Great cocktails too Food : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 … More

Went for Restaurant Week Fall '22. Pros: - friendly staff, our waitress was very nice and attentive - fantastic dessert, highly recommend the key lime pie or strawberry cake. Cons: - food is dated. Our main courses had anemic, overcooked, unseasoned vegetables with giant portions of meat. Steak sauce was too sweet. Rockfish sauce was curdled and overly tart. - very disappointed with the oyster trio. The raw oyster and the two cooked oysters arrived at the same temperature - lukewarm. Oysters were not separated from the shell. - atmosphere was confused. Could hear the loud bar music from the separate section they put us in that had no music. Nitpicks: - our waitress was unfamiliar with the etiquette of wine service, was not offered a taste of the bottle before it was poured. Not her fault, she was great! But perhaps a lack of training. - wine list was limited Overall, there are better restaurants in Richmond at the price point. This restaurant needs a revamp in the kitchen to keep up.

Overall a really great time for an intimate conversation or business meeting. For the price I was expecting a little more flavor. The chicken picatta was fried perfectly, but the sauce was a little odd. Salmon and rice was much better dish and had great reviews from friends. Potatoes were a perfect consistency but slightly bland. Same with vegetables. Simple, but good one time dinner. May just expand to new menu items next time.
