   Don't be fooled by all the good reviews. This place felt like an afterthought for a hotel. My wife got the avocado toast, and asked that her eggs be cooked "whites fully cooked, but yolk still a little runny" and a London fog (earl grey tea with frothed milk). I got the biscuits and gravy. We were given a london fog alcoholic drink, which was a simple mistake, we clarified the request, but the tea that came out was basically warm with a tea bag on the side, the tea really didn't steep well in the milk. Not the worst thing, but a little annoying. The real problem was that her eggs came out with the whites still a bit under cooked, and it took us a good few minutes to find the server to ask for them to be cooked a little more. The server said they needed to ask the kitchen if she should take back the whole plate, or just the eggs. This question took quite a while for the server to say they are going to cooke new eggs. This would've been a good option if the server had done a table touch within a short time after the food was served, but by the time the eggs came out, the rest of my wifes food was cold. While the biscuits and gravy weren't terrible, the only flavor was in the gravy. The biscuits were very dry and a little hard, and the breakfast potatoes tasted almost unseasoned, and also pretty dry and overcooked. I'll tell you what though, they know how to cook scramble eggs (just not season them). Very lackluster given all the good reviews we read.

   Best ambiance in Richmond. The patio/courtyard feels like you are in Charleston. Really good food, servers are super nice. Shocked more people don’t know about this place.

   A somewhat limited brunch menu but all of the food was excellent. The patio is charming. Will definitely go back.

   While we hoped to dine on the patio, the weather didn't cooperate. But, love the cozy atmosphere of the dining room. The brussel sprouts appetizer is delicious and plentiful to easily be shared with 3 people. I chose the mushroom pasta dish witch included cheese ravioli, spinach & mushrooms. The dish was good, but too heavy on the sauce. The dish, in my opinion would have been so much better without a bowlful of sauce. My friend has the gumbo ramen noodles dish that she enjoyed. I do enjoy this restaurant very much and was sad to hear that it will be closing later this year.

   Lovely space. Really enjoyed dining in the garden. Personable and attentive service Had brunch with family and the biscuits and gravy was the favorite. The local Blanchard coffee was also excellent

   Good food (watermelon and tomatoes salad for app and then salmon for the main). Service good. Cocktail (a martini) was not great.

   Had an extremely enjoyable evening on the patio at Parterre. The wait staff was accomodating to my concern about the heat on the patio and offered our party an indoor table if we wanted. We decided to sit on the patio and were so glad we did. It was a lovely shady patio that allowed us to have conversations without a lot of noise around us. The only slight negative was the mosquitoes outside....Food was wonderful. Fried green tomatoes for an appetizer were light and tasty with a zesty sauce. Salads were fresh and unique. And the entrees were prepared as we had requested. All in all, a lovely evening

    Very quaint comfortable ambience. Food was very very good. Service was not great - seemed rushed. The bar service was particularly lacking - took a very long time to get drinks.
