Small Batch - Local Kitchen

Food was OK (shrimp pasta with cappelini was not very flavorful, but the crab cakes main course was pretty good). Service was not great. When we arrived and were sat down with menus, it took the waiter 15 min to come back and take our order or even bring water. It is convenient if you stay at the Westin, but I would never eat here otherwise.

This is the restaurant inside the Westin Hotel where we were staying on a trip south. We ordered both dinner and breakfast from room service. Food was quite good (never said that about room service before) and arrived quickly and still hot.

Not what was expected based on the restaurant name, theme (farm to table) and the culinary expertise of the chef per website. Our visit on New Year's Eve was pleasant. Definitely short staffed based on the amount of tables the one server had to handle supplemented by the assistance from the bartender and what I believe was the restaurant manager. Atmosphere, that of a hotel of this caliper. Modern with good table spacing for conversation and comfortable. The food is mediocre. Not horrible but nothing special. Two notables are the brussel sprout appetizer and the french fries. Both are excellent! Most notable comment was the sauce on the TOFU dinner tasted like it was from a grocery store shelf. That said, worth a try but do not go with high expectations of this being a Richmond best kept secret.
