Dear Richmond,This little restaurant is our love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the joy of feeding people everyday. We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season. For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us. Matty & Tee From Love Letter, with love x

    From the moment we sat down we felt like we’d made the right choice for a rare date night. The service was warm, helpful and welcoming and the food was amazing!!!! The best squid and pork belly we have ever had.

    My son and I went for Christmas Lunch and had a unique experience. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of our ignorance. They happily showed us what to do with the BBQ, making it a great experience. The food was very delectable and surprisingly tasty.

    Christmas lunch - and what a scrumptious lunch the three of us had. The freshest, tastiest oysters, the most delicious thymey terribe, a generous charcuterie board, home made breads, and salmon tartare - sooo good. There was plenty of choice for all food preferences. Our mains of duck breast, beef fillet and scallops were all perfectly cooked and presented followed by an amuse bouche that was both tangy, sweet and very refreshing. Daughter and I opted for creme brulee which was perfect - not too rich or sweet, silky smooth with its glowing toffee crust. Husband had the apple and blueberry crumble which he declared to be “yummy”. All with friendly service. A lovely lovely team who gave up their Xmas day to provide a memorable meal and day for us. Thank you so much, and thank you to the chefs, kitchen crew - and to the awesome magician who provided great tricks and laughs.

    Mosaic is one of the most tasty and fresh meals I have had in a long time! The food is just delicious and presented beautifully. The restaurant was busy and had a good vibe. The owner is fabulous and very friendly and interactive with guests. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this fantastic Lebanese restaurant.
