- FFrederickVIPVirginia •114 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoStill, a high point of Richmond dining. We hadn't been in a while and were delighted to discover that "under new management," Can Can is better than ever. Excellent French-inspired menu, quality prep and a welcoming, professional staff. We were pleased to see Lauren captaining the reception desk, and our server, Chelsea, was attentive and cheerful. It's not easy finding a good hollandaise in Richmond, let alone an edible baguette, but Can Can delivers on both counts. Can't wait to return.More infoCan Can BrasseriePrice: Moderate• French• Richmond•4.5
- KKristyVirginia •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe food was amazing! The service was excellent…our server took great care of us and offered suggestions that were delicious. I love the atmosphere at Stella’s. My only complaint was we were seated right in front of the door. There was a lot of traffic in and out. It was freezing that night so every time the door opened we got a gust of cold air. That won’t keep us away. We will be back!!More infoStella's - RichmondPrice: Moderate• Greek• Richmond•4.9

- KKianaVIPVirginia •5 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024The Tinsel & Tequila cocktails were some of the best I’ve had for a Christmas pop-up menu, well prepared and much more enjoyable than other restaurants in Richmond. The empanadas were fresh and hot, and we loved the Casa Crunch Burrito. I recommend a stop by for happy hour at the bar, or for dinner before a night out with friends.More infoCasa del Barco - Canal WalkPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Richmond•3.8
