    The crab soup was mediocre, and came out luke warm. The appetizers came out before we got our first round of drinks. The burrata was not what we expected. Both of our meat dishes were good. Service was slow.

    We had a lovely dinner, and the food came very quickly. However, almost too quickly, we had a bottle of wine picked out and ready to order but never got the opportunity to. We still had full cocktails and BAM, the food came! Not complaining but it just felt like the whole experience took less than 30 minutes and I expect that Cracker Barrel but not at a higher end establishment. Food and everything was still excellent, and we did enjoy ourselves overall.

    My wife and I went there for our 35th anniversary. We arrived a little early but they sent us upstairs and we were seated immediately. Our server Lindsey was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and thoughtful. Our food was delicious and we decided to have dessert and it to was great. When Lindsey brought us the check it was about as I would expect for a nice restaurant and the dessert was free because of our anniversary. When we’re in Richmond again I would definitely return to this restaurant and I would ask for Lindsey to be our server.

    Sarah was our server tonight. She did an excellent job. She was attentive, knew exactly what each persons drinks and food went to whom, and was thoughtful to clear our empty plates throughout the meal.

    As a former Richmonder returning after several years, I remember the tobacco company as the pinnacle of fine dining in the city. I decided to treat myself and my partner to a meal there so we made reservations Sunday night. Upon entering it was clear a reservation was not required and it became apparent as to why. Upon being seated I noticed specks of dirt/grime on both our glasses. When I finally received silverware (after needing to ask for it) my knife was dirty as well. I also found our waitress's stained shirt wanting cleanliness. The cocktails we ordered were passable and our appetizers while passable were nothing special. My favorite bite of the evening was the warm bread they served with butter. For our mains, my ribeye was absolutely drowned in the over-salty chimichuri sauce it was paired with and I had to scrape most of it off. My partner’s king cut prime rib was extremely fatty and clearly reheated, and not evenly. It was only by happenstance his first bites were an ideal temperature, as the second half of it was basically room temperature. Furthermore, the baked potato served alongside it did not contain any toppings, let alone a pat of butter. We did not stay for dessert. I have NEVER been so disappointed in a meal. If you’re in the area for a nice meal, go to Morton’s, go to the Boathouse, heck, go to Ruth’s Chris. Don’t waste your money here.
