Excellent steak and atmosphere. There was live music the night that we went and it was surprisingly good.
Our server on the third level was great. She was super sweet and accommodating. Great server!! The food was overall very good. Steaks and crab cakes were awesome. Creamed spinach and she crab soup was also great. Oyster appetizer was dry and not great. The cauliflower rice served with the crab cakes was over seasoned and sort of had a “stuffing” like flavor which seemed ill matched. Butter cake was great! Key lime pie needed a bit more zing from lime juice and zest.
Plenty of food, nice portions. Yummy food.
The service and ambiance were incredible! We really enjoyed our celebration with the kindness of the staff, the cozy ambiance, and upbeat jazz music. A night of splurging for sure, but the experience was worth it.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
We had a delightful Valentine’s Evening dinner. The prime rib and au jus was exceptional, as was the loaded baked potato and vegetables. The vegetable lasagna was delightful as well. Always have loved the peaceful ambiance of this place. It was refreshing to hear the live jazz, as well. Thank you all!
This is a true hidden gem. The inside is absolutely beautiful
Staff was amazing. Food was so good. Perfect place to have a date night or just a nice dinner out in general.
Our experience for Valentine’s day was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better evening!
So nice to get out during covid time and enjoy a special holiday and where else better than Tobacco Company. They are the best!!
So beautiful, food and drinks are delicious and the live music makes it such a lovely place to be!
Excellent service and food, there was a trio playing music which made fora great night.
Beautiful building. Great service. Excellent food.
Yum! 5 girlfriends met to celebrate Galentine's Day. Had one of their private rooms on the 3rd floor which was perfect. Thank you!
Great restaurant! The atmosphere is amazing with the live music and rustic feel. The food and service are great.
Just wish we could received a bigger bottle of water
I planned a small surprise dinner for my husband. I spoke with one of the staff members Rebecca days prior. She was very helpful with making this a very special event. I dropped off the gifts and the balloons with her earlier in the day and she had them waiting at our table later that night. I had the ribeye, potato fingerlings and the most flavorful cauliflower rice. I definitely wasn’t expecting the rice to be so enjoyable. We had a great night. From 7:30 until almost closing. This is my new favorite restaurant.
It was good, the service was excellent! I wish there was more food for the appetizer for how much they were but the food was very good!
Fantastic all around, great food and service. Easy to schedule reservations.
Loved this place! Will was an excellent server too! :)
This restaurant is classic Richmond and offers good food in a great space. The Tobacco Company Restaurant is the perfect place for a special event, celebration, or date night.
Thank you for review. We appreciate it! Hope to have you by again to dine with us sometime!
Don’t pass on this Resteraunt. It’s worth the visit. You won’t be disappointed.
Great ambiance, superior service, and great food! The filet was perfectly tender with just the right seasoning. Nothing much else to say! We loved our dinner together!
We can’t thank you enough for the kind words- your review means a lot to us. Thank you!
A fantastic experience as always.
I would have appreciated valet parking.
But with COVID...
Thank you, Scott! Hopefully we can bring valet parking back someday. Take care out there.
Will was amazing!
Thank you! I will pass this on to him!
Our party of four went to The Tobacco Company to celebrate my best friend’s birthday. The service and food were both amazing. We were seated in one of the small “rooms,” and it was cozy and intimate—perfect for our small group. We could hear the live music on the first floor, but it wasn’t loud at all. Our waiter(s) were pleasant and attentive, the portions were perfect and the food was excellent. I would definitely go back.
That's so wonderful to hear. Thank you for dining with us and for the review. We hope to have you again!
Great food and service. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the kind words and review!
Good food but have had better for less money. The service was excellent but every song the band sang sounded alike so that was like a background noise on repeat.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear your experience was not as perfect as we would all hope. We'd love to have you back in some time to make up for it, perhaps on a night with a different band? Thanks again for your review, your words mean a lot!
The separate dining suites are a major plus during the pandemic!
Thank you for dining with us and for the review. Great input, we agree. Hope to have you again sometime! Take care out there.
I was so glad they reopened, last time I was in town the were closed because of the fire, this restaurant is a landmark for Richmond. Every thing was as I remembered and it really impressed my date who had never been to Richmond. Thank you for reopening I always look forward to coming here when Im in Richmond!
Thank you, Riff. Glad to hear you had a good time dining with us. Hope to have you again sometime!
Love the ambiance, feeling nostalgic and it was well kept. Food was just ok , the server was superb. Overall it was a wonderful night - definitely will go back!
Thank you for the review! We look forward to have you dine with us again.
Lovely historic building, nice ambiance, good food, good price and a sweet little 3 piece jazz band!
Love the atmosphere! Our meal was delicious and we didn't have to wait long. However, our cocktails came up a bit slow. Our waitress was delightful. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Thank you, Sue! Hope to have you dine with us again in the future.
The restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend. If you want privacy ask for an “office” table. Live music was great... atmosphere was beautiful! Food and service were very good.
Thank you! Hope to have you dine with us again sometime!
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We actually got married here on Saturday. The ambiance was wonderful and every person we encountered was friendly and helpful. Thank you for an unforgettable wedding day!
Congrats and best wishes! Thank you so much for spending such a special day with us and for the kind review.
Bethany was fantastic. She made some wonderful recommendations and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely be back and will be asking for her to serve us again.
Will pass that along! Thank you for dining with us!
A wonderful experience . Forgot how lovely and charming this old Richmond favorite truly is, she crab soup was divine. Waiter was super warm and friendly . Excellent service . Romantic vibe .
Thank you! Hope to have you dine with us again sometime!
Usually a really great place, came on new years eve and it was terrible. So to start I made a reservation for 8:45. Got there and had to wait 45 minutes to get a table. Not sure what the point of the reservation was if you still have to wait 45 minutes. So we finally get sat and the waiter brings us water and disappears for 25 more minutes. Comes back and asks if we would like drinks, and we both order wine, and an appetizer. The appetizer comes out within 10 minutes, super fast and hot. Still didnt have our wine. 25 minutes after the appetizer shows up, the server comes and brings us 2 wine glasses then disappears for another 10 minutes and brings the bottle of wine. As he is opening it he tells us that the wine has to be off the table at 10 PM. So we have about 5 minutes to finish a bottle of white wine, keep in mind we havent even ordered dinner yet. So we chug a glass of wine each, he finally takes our dinner order, and about half an hour later it shows up. I had the cioppino and my girlfriend had the company chicken. The pasta was all stuck together in a bundle and the ones in the middle weren't cooked. Some of the mussel shells were cracked and broken and scattered throughout the bowl. The shrimp and the sauce were good. So my girlfriends chicken was decent, but she said the potatoes and asparagus had no flavor or seasoning, which is ok we get that you have to cook to many tastes, so I catch the server as he is going by, paying attention to every table but ours, and I ask for salt and pepper, he says yes sure be right back. Didnt see him for another 45 minutes, by then we were done waiting and our food was cold. So I asked for the check and made sure he took my card so I didnt have to sit in this tiny corner booth that was like a broom closet waiting for him to return. There was a table with 6 older women next to us, and he was all over that one. Super attentive, when they would ask for something he would jump on it. Not sure what his problem was with us.

Good food and cocktails - always worth a visit
Glad you enjoyed the food and cocktails! Thank you.
We have visited The Tobacco Company many times and always enjoy it. We last had dinner there New Years Eve. The food and service was excellent. The atmosphere was great. We highly recommend!
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for the review and we hope to see you again sometime in the future!
The atmosphere of the old building converted to a three-story restaurant is incredible. The wait staff is highly professional. The food is excellent and a wide enough assortment of dishes to meet anyone's desires.
Thank you for the kind words and for dining with us!
