   The food was spot on what we wanted and expected. This is a wonderful surprise hiding right off Midlothian Turnpike and Courthouse Road. If you have not tried it, please do you mouth a favor. You will enjoy the food and service you will forget that you are not sitting on the French Riveria.

   I was treated to dinner, so didn’t see the check, which is why I gave Value4 stars. We were there late, so I can’t speak to the noise level when the restaurant is full. It was very nice and quiet at 8 on a Thursday night. Super nice service.

   Our food was delicious, the service spot on, and the atmosphere was perfect for slowing down and savoring the evening. Well done.

   Wonderful meal at Midlothian Chefs Kitchen. We had the dumplings and charcuterie for our first course and it was wonderful. For our entree we opted for the Cauliflower Steak and Lamb Wellington, and both were equally divine. Highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions and if you are looking for a wonderful menu and delicious food! 5/5 stars!

   We had an amazing girls night to celebrate several birthdays and everything was perfect! Thank you for the incredible service and the surprise champagne toast with dessert.

   I have really been looking forward to getting to the Chef’s Kitchen and I can honestly say I’ve never been more disappointed in a restaurant experience in my life. Arrived on time for our reservation and there was no hostess to be found. We just stood there in front, completely unacknowledged, for a full 5 minutes. Finally got seated and ordered drinks. All we ordered were 2 bourbons neat and it took them 45 minutes. 45 minutes to pour some bourbon in a glass. No one ever came to take our order or check on us while we waited. When they finally took our order after almost an hour, they were out of the one thing we wanted. Keep in mind, they only have 6 entrees on the menu and it was only 8 pm on a Friday. How do you build a menu of 6 items and then not even make it through Friday evening without running out of 1 of 6 items? At that point we were starving and ready to get out of there so we just finished our drinks, paid and quietly left. Only “apology” we got was “sorry, we’re busy”. Regarding the bourbon, they have an amazing selection of allocated bourbons. But when you’re selling a $59 bottle of Stagg Jr for $90 for a ONE OUNCE POUR (almost $2,500 for a $59 bottle) it’s pretty clear you don’t care at all about your diners’ experience. Anyway, I’ve heard great things and was excited to go but it was the worst Richmond area dining experience I’ve ever had. FWIW, I have a “never leave a bad review policy”. Small business is tough and I want to support local restaurants. But this was bad enough for me to break my policy and give an HONEST review.

    Really fantastic food and service! We went for Valentine’s and would have preferred more spacing between tables.
