Restaurants near Royal Inn Motel Richmond

We had a wonderful dining experience at Midlothian Chef's Kitchen last night - from the warm greeting by the hostess to the very professional waitstaff and, of course, including the outstanding food! There were many tempting choices but we BOTH decided on the Seared Rockfish - and are glad we did! It was delicious, and moist but even the crispy skin was wonderful (I don't usual like the skin of fish!.) For appetizers, we shared the Burrata & Sourdough and the Salad of Local Greens. They complimented each other wonderfully. By the way, if you are sharing the salad, they will re-plate it for you - divide it onto 2 plates and it is certainly big enough to share! The restaurant was slammed (as could be expected with Richmond w/o potable water for 5 days and counting and we were told that the kitchen was short-handed but it did not affect the operation of the kitchen - things were served in a timely manner (and hot!)

Still, 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.

The 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!!

I have dined and all of the Boathouse Restaurants in the RVA! They all come with their own uniqueness. The staff; ambiance and customer service is impeccable. Our server (Hayden) was knowledgeable of the menu, drink selections and just overall amazing, He truly attended to our every need!!

Awhile back we stopped going to Red Lobster in Midlothian because the food and service were so poor. They never seemed to recover from 2020 challenges. Even the cheese biscuits were bad. We decided to try it again last night because they offered a free meal for veterans. Everything was very good. Our waitress was professional and friendly. The food was back to pre 2020 standards. The cheese biscuits were perfect. We will definitely be back.
