    Excellent food and service as always. So much above other ‘fine dining’ in the area…$55 for massive filet in 2025 is a steal.

    Crab cake was delicious. Grilled wedge salad was good but well over priced. The host was excellent. She was well educated on all menu items and details given on how the cook prepared the items. Kudos to Susan

    Best dining experience I've had in Richmond! The amazing food is fine dining, but not stuffy, and the portions even filled my 245lb gut. The staff are well informed, and super attentitive. Awesome experience, I will definitely be going back.

    There are fancier and more expensive restaurants, but none better than L'Oppossum. Everything about it is outstanding. Inventive and delicious cuisine, gracious and knowledgeable staff, a cozy and charming ambiance. I would take L'Oppussum before any of the Micheline starred temples of gastronomy any day.

    Dining at L'Opossum is a unique experience for RVA patrons given the unique array of entrees, outstanding service, yummy cocktails and fun decor. It's a 5 out of 5 in my book all around.

    Wonderful French restaurant. Solos get seats at the bar, which I prefer anyway. The barkeep was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The food is excellent. The restaurant is a bit dim at the bar, and I cannot remember the lighting over the tables. Definitely will return, with a second!

    How can Richmond's best restaurant get any better? I don't know, but somehow the L'opossum team keeps succeeding! From the friendly, welcoming atmosphere, to the outstanding food and beverage, and even the best playlist in the city!
