    Second visit to Bookbinders in Richmond (although we live 100 miles away). The food is outstanding. Best filet I’ve ever had without exception. Our waiter, Timothy, is a perfect example of the professionalism one expects in a fine restaurant. He made the experience thoroughly enjoyable and memorable. We’ll be back!

    Always great - steak was overdone but still delicious, Andi chose not to say anything knowing they'd make it right if I did. Always a wonderful experience with Bookbinder's!

    We had an amazing anniversary dinner. The Kona coffee crusted filet was the best steak I have ever had. Excellent service! Great place for a special occasion.
