    We told them we were going to Altria for a show so they were very prompt at bringing items out. The waiter was incredible! The food was great. As appetizers my son had the she Crabby soup and I had fried green tomatoes. Both very good. For an entrée we both had scallops which were great. Great experience.

    Our service was great as was the drinks. Our entrees were not. I had the 3 cheese ravioli and it was the chewiest pasta I think I’ve ever had. My husband got the steak and had to send it back for being cooked wrong, when he received it back the sides were cooled and the streak wasn’t cooked right again. We couldn’t return it as we had other plans and needed to leave. Super bummed as we heard a lot of great things.

    Parking in the area is limited and pay parking a block+ away is expensive. I did not feel safe walking to my car after dark. Food and service were good, but the restaurant could use an overall refresh.
    Tarrant's DowntownResponded on April 23, 2025

    Absolutely wonderful, friendly, and attentive service! Food was enjoyable! Great mozzarella sticks (didn't love the red sauce but probably best sticks in RVA)! Outstanding crab cakes-fresh, crispy and full of flavor! Only concern was air conditioning-Easter Sunday- it was very warm. AC did not seem to be working.

    Had a wonderful experience today for lunch. We enjoyed the brunch menu of Crab cake Benedict and seafood omelette. The food was excellent and service on point, definitely plan to return.
