    Unfortunately, it was bad timing for us because of the water situation in Richmond. I’m sure everyone was trying their best.

    Expensive but knew that from previous visits. Food was good. Service got slow. We seemed to have got a back room on this visit. Would recommend as long as you’re comfortable with prices. Already have reservations for repeat visits.

    The collard greens, chicken and beef tenderloin were amazing. Perfectly prepared and served by an attetentive waiter. The chocolate gateau (cake) with vanilla ice cream was spectacular.

    Excellent food and service in an exquisite setting. Took hubby here for his birthday. We both had the Rockfish which was superb! The crab cake appetizer is the BEST crab cake you will ever have. Ask them about the "secret" ingredient!! Fried oysters with the country ham were wonderful as well. Nice size oysters!! They also have a wonderful cocktail menu.
