Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Glen Allen

We made our reservations for 4:00 on Thanksgiving. We were offered their regular menu and a special menu for Thanksgiving, which is what we ordered. It included butternut squash soup, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots and green beans. It also included dessert, a slice of pumpkin praline cheesecake for believe it or not, $34.98. We started with an appetizer which we didn’t need, flatbread with feta and grilled tomatoes drizzled with balsamic. Crazy delicious! The soup was good and there was a generous serving of turkey, including a small portion of dark meat. The mashed potatoes were also good and the stuffing was okay. I am very picky about stuffing. It was mostly bread and I think I saw carrots in it but regardless it was bland. There was also gravy. The vegetables were awesome and the dessert was excellent. I had an espresso martini and my husband an old fashioned and beer. I ended up taking some dinner and dessert home. Our waitress, Sunshine, was pretty great too.

I had read raving reviews about Thanksgiving at the Boathouse/Short Pump, and they were right. The food was delicious, well prepared, the staff, very attentive and friendly. Our server Lucy was the best, always checking on us. If you're looking for a Thanksgiving buffet, this is the place.

Consistently wonderful. We were celebrating the holidays a little early and Buckheads delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered cocktails, calamari and a variety of their filet mignon steaks. While we are always impressed with the food, our server was attentive and wanted us to be 100% satisfied with every detail. I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too boozy for my tastes and he happily returned it and didn't charge us. This is my preferred special dining establishment in Richmond.

Food delicious and Peyton our service was so nice [O[oooo[ooooooo

Perfect early dinner choice. We actually called in 45 minutes before our reservation time, to ask if we could come in a bit early. "Come in as soon as you get here" was the cheerful response. The menu is not expansive, but we each found entrees that sounded intriguing. The appetizer (calamari) was a perfect start. Our waitress was very attentive, and inviting. She even noticed that we were following a football game score on my phone, and asked the bartender to change the channel so that we could actually watch the broadcast!
