Tarrant's Cafe

Thank you for reserving us a table in a quiet area per my original request! We had a great experience at Tarrant's for our candidate interview dinner.

This was one of the best restaurants we went to while visiting Richmond. We had the eggplant stack delicious unique flavors. I we both had the she crab soup best we had . I had shrimp and grits again unusual but rich and delicious. My husband had the rib eye cooked to perfection and complimentary fantastic garlic bread. The atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this restaurant!!! NJ

A delightful experience with great service and short walk to musical at the November Theatre. Complimentary valet service is available. Portions were generous. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Service was top-notch. Celebrated a birthday with friends on a weekday during lunch. The menu had something for everybody, and everything we tasted was delicious -- seafood, salads, pizza, and dessert. The seating was comfortable and not too tight. Really appreciated that servers did not constantly pester the table but instead adapted to our pace for a leisurely lunch with friends we hadn't seen in several years. We already discussed when we plan to visit again and what delicious menu items we might try next. Solid choice for tasty food, great service, and friendly environment.

We had a really fun, delicious dinner here. The menu is huge, the atmosphere is unique and charming, and staff was friendly and accommodating. Try the buffalo-style broccoli appetizer - so good! Pizza was very good, too. The brownie sundae was gushy and chocolatey, would comes back for it! Ask for Lucy as your server - never had a more lovely server. We’ll be back here!

Had friends visiting from out of town—Tarrant’s is always a good choice as there’s something for everyone on the menu! Entire party was happy with their food and service.

Food is delicious!!

Tasty food with a huge selection but pricey. Service was very good and there servers were very engaging.
A fun place to go for a nice meal and some drinks.

Overrated ... very overrated. Good for drinks only.

Waitress was great, food was good, coconut pie was not what I expected

The food and service was wonderful.

Our daughter was in town visiting. When she attended VCU we went to Tarrants frequently. One of our favorite places in RVA

Wonderful experience eating here on recent Friday night. We loved the crab cakes & veggie flatbread . Very attentive service & Chris, the Manager, was very friendly & helpful . Highly recommend .

Great service!
Food sounded better than it was... not bad just didn't meet expectations...
Ambience was nice, wine good...
Might get it another try having different expectations...

Really enjoyed the vibe of the place. It's a neat old building in the Richmond arts district and it was cool to see the old pharmacy sign behind the bar. Loved the old chandeliers. Food was good and service was fine except for one thing -- our server had dirty fingernails. That was a bit of turnoff. He was good in terms of taking care of our order and getting our food to us, but that was a little weird. Otherwise, good experience.

First time there definitely added to my list of top restaurants and must visit whenever I’m in Richmond Virginia. We

Good place for brunch with classic Eggs Benedict. Good value and good service!

We’ve been here a few times before any were looking forward to dinner. It fell short on most fronts. Food was cold. Service was okay.

Great menu! Items ordered were delicious!! Good location for access to local theaters.

The waitress was okay, but not outstanding. The lemonade tasted funny, but I was allowed to get another drink. The crab stuffed mushrooms were ok, but the lasagna was good.

We were there on Labor Day with my parents and brother-in-law. The service was so incredibly slow (and I am an extremely patient person). We all got our drinks at VERY different times. My husband didn’t get his drink until 20 min after I got mine. We were also all squished into a booth that should have sat 4 (there were 5 of us). The food was so-so. I had the shrimp and grits and I have definitely had better. All in all it wasn’t a great experience and I won’t be back.

My sons and I went to see my daughter who is lin Richmond for college. We are from DC. In a nutshell, the restaurant was not busy, however we waited a little over 30 minutes for our food. We watched other orders be filled prior to ours at the neighboring tables and I am unsure why that was the case. After finally getting our meals and trying to enjoy them, I found a hair in the Benedict. I quietly explained to the man who seemed to be the manager. He took the food away and offered a replacement, but after the wait and no longer having an appetite, I declined. He then took off the meal from my bill which in my opinion was the bare minimum of what he could be should be done by that point. Not that I expected a full bill comp, but a nicer gesture would have been appreciated considering the way below average experience we were having. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Tarrant’s Cafe....ever.

Fantastic!

We went to Tarrant’s for a joint birthday celebration. Everything from service to food to ambiance was perfect.

Always a treat. Good food, atmosphere, friendly staff

Great food and service. Celebrating anniversary - definitely wii go back again when in town

Been to Tarrents on many occasions and always had a great experience until now. If this had been my first experience it would have been my last. Old Fashion was way too sweet, entree came out before my salad, and upon telling waitress, there was no offer to take my entree back to keep warm,; she merely brought out my salad. My colleagues got the wrong entree.

It will be a long time before I return.

The menu is vast which is always a worry and for what amounts to glorified pub food it’s very expensive. Even quite basic entree’s at $29? I ended up with a check for $120+ for 2 adults and 2 kids and the food didn’t merit the check. The restaurant is atmospheric with nice old fittings but v overpriced,

New employee

Lots of great options, excellent wine list, service was perfect as always. One of my favorite places in Richmond.

I love this location. The design is fast and the staff is friendly and efficient. But ours y the third time the fish is too salty and overcooked.

The experience was nice, except a little bit more noisy than needed.

We were there late, and had exceptional service - including speedy correction of tepid coffee, multiple rolling orders with special requests, and a manager's personal attention to said special requests. The fried cauliflower is to die for.

Friends here from England. Wanted them to experience a little bit of Richmond

Great food. You must try the She Crab soup. Service was exceptional. Celebrating our anniversary and most of the staff stopped by to congratulate us; even the bartender.

Very unique menu. The food was great and the service was awesome.

My seafood omelet was outstanding and my husband’s seafood crepes excellent, but the home fries were disappointing. Bloody Mary’s were delicious, but the very nice waitress did forget to bring the coffee I asked for with the meal. Still it was a positive brunch and we enjoyed using the valet parking out front on Sunday.

Pancakes were cooked a little too hard but it was made right immediately.

Great place for a business conversation. Attentive waiter but not overbearing. Food was delicious!!

Great atmosphere! Loved the chandeliers and conversion from old drug store. Outstanding service! Food was amazing, especially blackened tuna with tzatziki sauce and the flounder stuffed with crab meat!
Most highly recommended!
