Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Mechanicsville

Tess and Lily took care of us from the moment we walked in the door for brunch today. The Bloody Mary and espresso martini were perfection. My husband and I ordered Hash which was delicious and our friend enjoyed the grits entree (but he opted out of the garlic cabbage). For dessert we ordered the crepe with cream, apple and Nutella, sprinkled with a sweet crisp. Divine!!!! We will return.

We recently celebrated my daughter, Lily’s, 14th birthday at The Can Can, and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was lively and elegant—perfect for a special occasion. My daughter chose the Duck à l’Orange, which was cooked to perfection, with a rich, tangy sauce that complemented the tender meat beautifully. Her best friend, who is vegan, opted for the Banh Moi, and she absolutely loved it. The dish was fresh, flavorful, and inventive, showing the restaurant’s thoughtful approach to catering to diverse diets. The service was attentive, ensuring the birthday celebration felt truly special. We would definitely return for another memorable evening!

Christmas Eve and the place was packed but running efficiently. The owner was visibly on-site, taking pictures of patrons in front of their beautiful Christmas tree, a very nice touch. My only complaint was that it was a prix fixe menu, which I did not know about when I made the reservation. I also saw nothing on their website to indicate such. The food was excellent and well priced at $95 pp, so we stayed, but would have liked to have known that the full menu was not available before we went.

It had become a family tradition for my daughter, husband and me to visit Amuse on Christmas Eve. It had also been a few years since we’d been able to time it right! This year we made a plan and I am so glad we did. The food and service were both outstanding! Alex took care of us from start - with our sparkling holiday cocktails - through lunch with scallops, oysters, a strip steak, and the best beets, brussel sprouts, and parsnips - until dessert, an upside down pear and pomegranate cake. We won’t wait as long before we go back again!
