    Richard’s is our go-to place for an amazing chef-driven dinner with great ambiance (and quiet). A reservation at Richard’s actually means a reservation - with a table dressed and prepared when you arrive!

    The waiter was superb. The food was disappointing. The grilled caesar was nothing more than a warm piece if lettuce with croutons and very little dressing. The canneloni filling and sauce were boring, and the pasta was tough. The chicken with prosciutto was dried and the sauce made no sense with the other flavors. There wa no way we were going to order dessert. I ate so little that we walked to Trader joes to get dessert.

    The staff was ready for us when we arrived. Our table was set with water, utensils, and menus. The waiter promptly came over. He informed us of a large group and ask if we wanted to order ahead of that group to get our food more promptly. It was a great convince.

    Took my Mother to Richards for Mother's Day, I had the open face steak sandwich and Mom had the Poached halibut, We tried each others food and it was very good. I also got the soup and Homemade coffe cake. I really want to try this place for dinner. Thank you for a great Mother's Day meal for my Mom

    We have dined at Richard’s several times over the years but unfortunately tonight missed the mark. Our waiter didn’t take our drink order for at least 20 minutes. Diners who placed their orders after us received their food several minutes before us. When we received our food my husbands was not hot and honestly was not good and we sent it back. The waiters response it’s not a dish he would recommend but didn’t tell my husband this when he ordered. Why would you have a dish on the menu if your wait staff can’t recommend? It unfortunately ruined our dining experience. They did take my husbands meal off the bill but was so disappointed. I probably won’t choose this place in the future.

    We’ve been here numerous times, but for some reason this time was the best. A new menu I was told. My wife had the halibut, I had the clams and linguine. Both were incredible. Waiter recommended we share a salad, which was a great idea. The wine list was pretty robust, with some good wine-by-the-glass choices, particularly if you step up to the higher priced offerings.

    We had a most enjoyable date night starting with cocktails in the bar. The bartender recommended a cocktail he will be introducing when they open the outdoor bar in a few weeks. Definitely will return to enjoy this light, fruity gin drink. Just wish I could remember what he called it. Our dinner meal was excellent. We each ordered their unique version of a Caesar salad along with the fresh Alaskan halibut. The fish was perfectly cooked with a light lemony sauce and fresh asparagus on the side. Our waiter was professional and efficient. We will return.

    Must have been an off night. The restaurant was empty. The food seemed like it was old and just reheated. The meatball appetizer tasted like it was frozen and reheated. The Caesar salad was tasteless. The pork medallions were hard and just loaded with sweet sauce. My husband duck was good and cooked perfectly. Very disappointed but like I said it must have been an off night or the reason that it was empty was because word has gotten out that the place has gone downhill. The service however was excellent.

    I’m a travel nurse and my husband came up for a couple of days and decided to celebrate our anniversary. Richards was HIGHLY recommended by everyone at the hospital. Matthew was amazing. The food was exceptional and the dessert out of this world. The best RIBEYE I have ever had. The scallops were divine. The pairing of flavors are unmatched. I’m glad we went. The ambiance was simple yet romantic. Thank you!

    We were not really impressed. The food wasn't great, especially for the price. I felt like the crust for my chocolate dessert tasted a bit freezer burned, and my pasta dish was not at all how it was described in the menu. The wine was great and priced well and our waiter was great. He had a lot of tables he was assigned too, however, and it took a while for him to get to us when we first got there.

    My husband and I took our son, and his girlfriend for dinner. We were there to celebrate my son's girlfriend's birthday. We pre-funked at the bar, then had dinner. The bartender was nice and sociable. The drinks were so divine! For appetizers we ordered the meatballs (not your average meatball), grilled shrimp and risotto cakes, and the grilled Caesar salad (yum!). My husband and son ordered grilled 12oz Thomas Cattle Co. Ribeye with the gorgonzola garlic spread, fingerling potatoes and broccolini The birthday girl ordered the prosciutto wrapped chicken. It was moist and flavorful. I ordered the special. It way a chorizo cannelloni in a red pepper sauce. I loved it! For dessert we ordered the Hummingbird Cake and the Lemon marscapone Panna Cotta. So divine! Our server was nice and informative on items on the menu. He had worked with my son at Barbacoa previously. The atmosphere was relaxing and elegantl. We love Richard's.

I like that the serving sizes were not over-sized, it was the perfect amount. The service was great, our server Mathew was very nice and prompt, we never had to ask for anything.

    The food and drinks were delicious. I did order the Duck, but the server heard Duroc Pork dish. The pork dish was delicious. We had already been there for an hour when the food arrived and didn't have the time to have a new dish made. We chose to skip dessert because things were taking a while. We will probably go back, but were slightly disappointed with this trip.
