Metzger Bar and Butchery

Fantastic dinner. We all ordered different meals to be sure we tasted many items. Highly recommend the pretzel with Foie gras! Absolutely delicious

During these trying times, Metzer's is REALLY doing everything to reassure it's customers by doubling down on it's sanitation efforts. And, of course, the food is well worth the trip! If you just don't feel up to taking a chance being out with other people, they have started a take-out service.

Either in or out, the radicchio salad is a wonderful start - never thought I'd find myself raving about a salad, but this one is very rave worthy.

The lentil soup was absolutely delicious - so much so that we took two orders with us.

The chicken schnitzel is so good that I have a very hard time (as in, almost never) ordering anything else. My wife was equally pleased with her Mitake dish. And, last, but not least, finish with the pistachio cake - you won't be sorry - even if you don't "need" it!

Delicious food and top service. Will definitely go again.

Kjell was fantastic. Raddichio salad to die for!!!

Excellent service and meal. Host was able to sit an additional couple with our group without any issues.

Too pricey for the amount of food you get, even though the food is extremely tasty. Dinner and dessert was not enough food for me yet it cost over $50. I don't have a big appetite either. Good for a special occasion date night, and if that is the target audience they are doing it well enough, but would not recommend for a casual dinner out unless you have money to burn.

Just amazing food quality and overall a pleasurable experience. Thank you Metzger! xx

Food was delicious and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable!

Valentines day was amazing!! Would definitely come back for the good food and service.

Our first visit and we loved it!

Enjoyed the evening, food, service, and location are wonderful. Noise level is not uncomfortable but just a tad bit loud.

Fantastic food and great service. Only problem is parking.

Their takes on traditional German dishes were so awesome. Cute place with very nice and knowledgeable staff. Can’t wait to come here again!

Fantastic spot, terrific service, overall fabulous experience

Special place all around!

This was our first visit to Metzger's, and we were very impressed. The food was superb, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks were tasty. We loved their selection of German cuisine and beverages. Very cute, comfortable atmosphere. It was a little bit louder than we wanted, but that was to be expected with it being a Friday night crowd in a small, cozy restaurant. Even so, it wasn't annoyingly loud. This is a great spot for a special occasion.

The restaurant has a wonderful vibe. The wait staff is very knowledgeable and the service was very good. The three of us had the Chef's tasting menu. The amuse bouche was delicious and we eagerly anticipated the remaining courses, but were disappointed. A couple of the courses were very salty and the portions were too large for a tasting menu. The wines chosen for the pairing were delicious. Overall, a disappointment for a much lauded restaurant.

Fantastic cocktails, appetizers and dinner!

Slowwww service and too fussy. Eggs were cold. Schnitzel was amazing and almost redeemed everything...

Very good wine and drink list. Food was very good. Nice to have a German restaurant in Richmond. Food was well prepared and reasonably priced. Service was really slow. Over 20 minutes to bring my glass of wine and had to ask a second server, when I could flag one down, to bring it. Slow to clear table after main course done. Place was full at start of meal but is not an excuse. Tables are very close so it can get noisy if full. However, meal quality and selection is most important so I will definitely go again.

Always in my top 5 for RVA. Great to try the new menu

Delicious food and fantastic drinks! It's a small space and can get a little noisy, but it's part of the charm

Overall we had a very pleasant meal; just one thing stuck out to me as a point of dissatisfaction. We sat down for dinner around 5:05pm, and ate the entire time as the only patrons in the restaurant. However, we were rushed throughout; for example, as I still had food in my hand, the waiter asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu. Also, we were brought the check immediately after I ordered an after-dinner coffee. I would understand this dynamic if the restaurant were packed; but, again, we were the only ones there. Feeling rushed meant we couldn't fully enjoy our meal and our conversation.

Our service was excellent as were all of our meals!

Everything was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend anything with the chicken schnitzel!

Excellent food, lovely curated wine and beer list, great service. Lovely Church Hill location. When you reserve, be sure to ask for the main room. The restaurant offers a sad dark little room at the back of the restaurant, which dulls the experience considerably. Our party of four was relegated to this awful little room and I instantly regretted having made the reservation. Management needs to offer more thought -and some real candle light please- to this space if they are going to stick customers with reservations in this closet.

As always... superb food. A real neighborhood gem

The food was absolutely amazing

Seriously our favorite place in Richmond (and we’ve tried a lot!). The consistency of all the dishes can’t be beat. And for the first time (we’ve been at least 10!) we chose to do the chefs tasting menu. Oh wow. It was unexpected dishes and perfectly paired with wine. I’m hooked and don’t want to dine any other way. We love it for special occasions but it’s also good just to rekindle the love on a date night.

Food and service were excellent as always. We had the Schnitzel Ruben, a long time fav and the Maitake, an excellent and relatively new addition. Bloodys were delicious.. as always!

Creative fare and great service in 'very' cozy digs.

Warm, friendly, innovative restaurant.

My wife and I celebrated New Years at Metzger and we had a wonderful time. They’re pre fixe menu was delicious and the staff was very knowledgeable about plate preparation and pairings.

Another great NYE menu at Metzgers. Drinks were very good and so was the food, last years New Years eve dinner at Metzgers was the definition of excellence and this year was close to it. Look forward to 2021.

Fabulous inventive menu. Great German flavor without being too heavy. Everything we tried was delicious, from the foie gras pretzel to the chicken schnitzel to the boar shank. Trout also a winner. Good young vibe in a cozy setting. The cocktails were also amazing. We will be back

We didn’t stay. Atmosphere cold. Menu looked awful. Disappointed from what we had expected.

Excellent night out with stellar service and even a little special treatment for the occasion. We’ll be returning!

We went out for a date night celebrating a birthday. We did the Chef’s Tasting Menu and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was prepared extremely well with great finesse. We also tried some of the cocktails that were fantastic as well. We enjoyed the atmosphere as well. All around a phenomenal place to dine at. It’s a true experience worth the cost. We will most definitely be back. We’ve been to abrennet Pass, the sister restaurant, & Metzger topped that experience in my opinion. All of the staff members were friendly and they work well as a team overseeing the dinning experience. Well done!

We are repeat customers. Service was excellent, but the menu selections (no salad offered) and quality were below previous efforts.

Freakin delish. Thanks Karen!
