   Another fantastic meal at L'Opossum. Truly. Susan is likely the best waitress in all of RVA. For reals. Great specials and wonderful classics on the menu.

   **A Dazzling Dining Experience—Richmond at Its Finest** I brought out-of-town colleagues to L’Opossum for dinner, and the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were treated to warm, attentive service and an atmosphere that felt both playful and refined. The attention to detail in every dish was truly impressive—each plate was a visual work of art, and the flavors were layered in a way that only a truly inspired kitchen can achieve. Every bite was a conversation starter. Bold, unexpected combinations came together in perfect harmony, creating a meal that was not only memorable but downright thrilling. My colleagues were absolutely blown away, and I was proud to share one of Richmond’s most creative culinary gems with them. Five stars all the way—L’Opossum is a must for anyone who loves food that surprises and delights.

   This was our second visit to L'Opossum. It is a relatively small restaurant, very popular, and usually busy. The food is phenomenal, creative, and perfectly plated. Service is excellent. I had the chilled corn soup with saffron and blue crab. The hubs had the Faberge Egg appetizer: hard boiled egg, dyed pink with beets, topped with lobster and caviar! Both sensational. For our mains, he had the filet mignon, yum. I devoured the Atlantic Char served on a latke made with parsnips instead of potato! So delicious. The flan for dessert was fabulous, and I'm a flan junkie. I will say it is quite loud. The music playing, to me, was annoying. I recognized about 3 songs; but the rest were just unneeded noise. But, that is just me, I'm old. We will definitely return. When you make a reservation, which is a must; request a booth. You will love it.

   Not worth the extravagant price. Salty salmon, mediocre dessert. I’ll never go again.

   Celebrated our 16 yr wedding anniversary with dinner and friends at L’Opossum. A delight for all our senses. Definitely worth the wait (we booked 3 months in advance). Excellent cocktails with and without alcohol. Attentive, but not overly so, and fun wait staff. Yummy yummy appetizers, entrees and desserts. Looking forward to the next special event to celebrate there.
