   So many things to say about L’Opossum. The atmosphere is unpretentious, whimsical, creative and inviting. Our server was professional, fun and attentive. She was so knowledgeable of the menu and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced our dining experience. And the food…oh the food…I will pine for it for days lamenting the fact that I live more than an hour away.

   Having heard about what a phenomenal experience dining at L’OPOSSUM was, my wife and I had been looking forward to our meal for years at this point. From the moment we arrived everything exceeded our expectations. The Bedazzled Faberge appetizer was scrumptious beyond description, the Arctic Char and Beef Swellington were both far and above the most decadent and delectable food we’ve ever tasted, and the Lavender infused Limoncello Crème Brûlée and The Devils in the Details were the perfect desserts to cap off a birthday meal that truly achieved perfection.

   L'Opossum is absolutely great. The atmosphere and menu set the tone for a meal that is going to be fabulous and fun, taking the pretension out of haute cuisine by going over the top and poking a little fun. The meal that followed was splendid. The only complaint is it's too hard to get a table!

   As always, the service was excellent. The timing of the food service allowed us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed. The pork belly dish was so flavorful, especially the mushrooms. My cocktail was interesting but not too fussy. I love seeing what piece of decor I will notice for the first time, each time I visit.

    Spectacular food, top-notch service, novel decor, and such a pleasant atmosphere. I could hear everyone at our table and no one had to raise their voices. I can’t think of a single thing that I would change. It’s expensive and it’s worth every penny.

    Ambience and decor are absolutely wonderful. That is my favorite part about this restaurant. It is closely matched in greatness to the food. Food is really good, but very expensive and not enough vegetarian options/variety. I wish the menu changed a little more often. I’m sure meat eaters disagree and have a wonderful time. So this may be a personal plight, I suppose I’m not the target customer. Service was adequate, nice enough, but certainly not worth the price. If I’m spending $500+ on dinner, I do like to feel special and taken care of and a little pampered, like my waiter truly cares about my enjoyable experience (rather than seeming slightly annoyed). Maybe I’m being old fashioned and that’s just the cost of a decent meal these days, and maybe this is just how humans interact these days and I’m asking for too much… so what is the cost for one of those meals where you walk out of the restaurant at the end of the night smiling from ear to ear, gushing about how perfect everything was, feeling so absolutely satisfied and pleasant? And how can I order that option next time?

    The ambiance and decor are eclectic and fun. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Service was prompt and attentive. Food was Delicious. I had the beef swellington with the table side truffle service. They shaved a truffle imported from France with a sparkly “Michael Jackson” glove! So fun, I wished I took a video. One of my favorite richmond restaurants. 5 stars

    This was not our first time at L’opposum and will not be our last. My husband and I just celebrated both of our birthdays there and loved our overall experience…the ambiance, the music, the wait staff and of course, the food. We’ve never had a mediocre dinner there. It is always worth the wait when having to schedule weeks in advance for a weekend reservation. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond!

    I was disappointed in my most recent trip to L’Opossum. The drinks were good, but not superlative. My scallops and the dessert were both overcooked. My dinner companion’s quail was extremely good, but it was the only part of the evening other than a brandy at the end of the meal that did not disappoint. For what you pay at L’Opossum, you should not end up disappointed. My previous two visits were stellar, but I think the pandemic has been especially hard on the restaurant world. I doubt I will be returning.

    L’Opossum is at once the finest and most unique restaurant in Richmond. Food, drink, service, vibe, and soundtrack are all perfectly curated to create a memorable experience. This visit was absolutely magical. No surprise, though, as they literally always knock it out of the park.

    This restaurant’s ambience and decor surpasses any restaurant that I have been to in the last few years. The service was exceptional to include a delicious extra dirty vodka martini. I had the catch of the day and my only critique is that it needed a little more seasoning. The appetizers and desserts were above reproach. Highly recommend this place!
