Diner Reviews
  • "I travel to Richmond about once a month and usually treat myself to Hondo's. The service is attentive but not oppressive or snooty. We started with the fried oyster appetizer and drinks. Love that they leave the martini shaker at your table. Our filet mignons were superb and they always check how it's cooked immediately when it is served. The scalloped gorgonzola potatoes are amazing. We ended with Bananas Foster that was a little soupy but very tasty. This is really an excellent restaurant where you eat in a library-like atmosphere with piano music to escape, relax and converse."

  • "Our first visit a few months ago was much better due to the server, though the food was only fair. We arrived at brunch this visit near the end and food seemed to be out too long, everything (including ham and prime rib) were dry. Server was a young kid that left our glasses empty, dirty plates on the table, and brought our check half way through the meal. Won't be back anytime soon."

  • "There were several large parties at Hondo's the night we celebrated our Anniversary. I had requested a booth, but because of the large number of people at the restaurant, we had to sit in a booth in the lounge. The lounge was very noisy and the booth was "tight" for two large patrons. My husband and I ordered our steaks well done and the top of my steak was very "burnt." I do not fault Hondo for this, because it was my request. Next time I will order medium done. We did not enjoy the food or ambience as much as on previous visits, but our waiter, Brian did provide exceptional table service."

  • "Once again Hondos delivered the best fried oysters around. Always a great luncheon spot."

  • "Hondo's provides consistently good food - steaks - and a nice environment at a convenient (Cox Road) West End location."
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "I understand that it was a holiday (4th of July), however we have been there on other holidays. The service was no where near what we have come to expect from this restaurant. We waited long time just to get water and place our drink orders. The waiter was overwhelmed by the tables he had to serve. Bussing and crumbing the table, which are the norm here were forgotten. We had to summon the waiter to place a drink refill order. The food was as usual outstanding, but the service was not up to what you should expect at a high-end steak house."
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "Hondo's once again delivers a great meal...steak au poivre, French-pressed coffee and a wonderful creme brûlée. Had to ask for a bread basket, but other than that, the service was smooth and attentive. Just a nice, relaxing experience."

  • "Hondos has a good feeling about it. My wife and I love the Lamb chops and the house salad. The wines were affordable."

  • "We have been to Hondo's on special occasions many times. It is a great spot for our anniversary, quiet and intimate. There is music in the background, but it is tranquil and relaxing. We enjoy it every time. The service is excellent, and the food never fails to be delicious. Their filets are my favorite and it is always a tender, juicy cut of meat."

  • "Hondo's has a great ambiance to its atmosphere, cozy seating, upscale environment and clientele, and offers more privacy than most restaurant settings. Our service was extremely professional and not at all invasive, which we love. Plus the food is always amazing, down to the tiniest detail. We love Hondo's! Dinner, brunch... it's a perfect experience every time we go!"
    Dined on 6/24/2014
  • "We have often dined at this restaurant and are always pleased with the experience. On this particular night we were offered a free steak of the same type as ordered in celebration of our anniversary. We thought this was a very nice gesture and appreciated it. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was one of the best members of the wait staff - Amie. She was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Receiving this kind of excellent service makes any dining experience even better."

  • "Very disappointed in quality of food. Feeling shared by one other in my party (didn't ask everyone). We have eaten at Hondo's several times and have always really enjoyed the food but sadly not this time. Will probably try again but will grill the waiter on best choice (pun not intended). Service and atmosphere excellent."

  • "A truly great meal in a elegant, quiet, intimate atmosphere. A wonderful place to have a Fine Dining experience. The staff is attentive without hovering, and very knowledgeable about the menu. My second time there and it was as wonderful as the first. If you are looking to WOW someone- This Is The Place. The steaks are beef heaven and the lobster simply wonderful. The wine cellar is extensive and even the biggest wine snob is sure to be impressed, as mine is. I am sure to go back-Why eat out somewhere else when you can dine here?"

  • "We dined here for our anniversary and the service was great and the food was wonderful. Everything came out nice and hot! I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family!"

  • "I take friend's to Hondo's as a treat frequently. This time I took my friend, Regina, to celebrate her 91st birthday at lunch. She is always impressed by the atmosphere and says it reminds her of places that her husband would take her. She had a beautiful shrimp cocktail and her lunch was on the specials list of the day. The waiter was divine, maybe the best we've ever had. However, the wait staff is always wonderful and the food is always way above average and cooked to perfection."

  • "The service was good and much more attentive this time...the prime rib was exceptional and I love good prime rib, eventhough it is hard to find nowadays...."

  • "This was the perfect Father's Day dinner venue. Our semi-private dining room had a great ambiance, our servers were polite and helpful, and our food was cooked to perfection. This is a place I come for a grown-up dinner - no kids! LOL."
    Dined on 6/14/2014
  • "We went here for our Anniversary Dinner last night to take advantage of the great discount (lesser-priced entree free) offered as being on the email list on your anniversary. That being said, here are my observations: Noise level - This is a VERY quiet restaurant. Ambiance - The "new" Hondos is a very beautiful space and enjoyable to be in. Service - Candace was very good. Bar - Holly was great, as usual. Food - We had a Porterhouse and a Strip. The Porterhouse was cooked fine and was good though a bit fatty. The Strip was under-cooked and had to be sent back. The cut had a fair amount of gristle in it. The au Poive sauce was excellent. The baked potato was mealy/mushy and lukewarm. Overall was good, not great. I expected exceptional."

  • "Had never been here but heard about it being very good and it was exceptional. The food was excellent and Trevor T was great. It surpassed my expectations"
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "I live close by, but had never been to Hondo's; had the idea that it was too expensive and perhaps not worth the price. Plus I don't eat meat, so a steak place is never my first choice. Went to celebrate a special occasion with out of town guests, and am sorry I waited so long to get here. The servers are very well trained, attentive without being intrusive. The wine list was nice; I would have preferred more mid-price-range choices, but it was fine. The food was quite good. I had "tuna mignon" which was absolutely spectacular; my table mates had beef or veal, and we were all pleased. The prices were very reasonable, & I understand there are frequent specials. I willl definitely be back to check them out."
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere Trevor our service was great in explaining the different steaks. Knowledgeable of his wines and recommended a good wine to go with the steak. Steaks came exactly as prepared. Would definitely order steak again!!"

  • "We were celebrating a special occasion and Hondo's always comes through. Our shared Fried Oyster appetizer was good but we had a shell issue. The manager was duly upset, comped the oysters and offered a replacement. Very professional. Next up Kobe Cowboy cut 28oz rib eye with choice of 2 salads and 2 veggies. House salad was outstanding...Caesar salad was good but a bit on the small side. Steak with béarnaise sauce was a masterpiece! Can't miss with the Hondo's scalloped potatoes. More than enough food for two. Our meal was topped by a complimentary dessert...sponge cake with berries and whipped cream beautifully presented. A delicious meal worthy of the occasion. And thanks to Amie for excellent service. "

  • "The food there is consistent but boy the friday before Mothers day is NOT the time to go. There was a massive confusion over the table I had requested. My dinner companion said that he stood for 10 min before the hostess actually acknowledged him....she was too busy talking with another staff member. Then I had requested a booth and she tried to sit him in the bar and and then at a table in the middle of the room. The waiter was very Non-plus and seemed very put out. He ignored us and we had to ask for three things, ice, butter and more au jus and we never got any of it. Honestly since they moved I have eaten there many times and each time I have had stomach issues after. This time I ordered the Prime Rib and it was mediocre. "
    Dined on 5/9/2014
  • "We have gone to Hondo's numerous times and have always been pleased. They have the best steaks around and the service is always great. For our anniversary we had a private room, which added greatly to the evening. We wouldn't go anywhere else for our anniversary. "

  • "We have gone twice to Hondo's for Sunday brunch to celebrate recent birthdays. Both occasions were outstanding. Service was personalized, efficient, and friendly but not overbearing. Food was outstanding. The live music added just the right touch. One of us has proclaimed Hondo's "officially my favorite restaurant.""
