Second time here in 2ish weeks and it really was fantastic. Very sad that they didnt make the almond custard for the bread pudding tonight because as absolutely incredible as their bread pudding is, vanilla ice cream simply doesn’t “hit” with their bread pudding. It’s just so beyond vanilla ice cream lol. So yeah only disappointment of the night was this. Food is still great and the staff is the absolute best group of industry folk I have been around on the richmond scene. Thanks guys! You made the start of my bodybuilding off season the best kick off!

My wife & I enjoyed our dinner immensely. Being older than most we shared our entre and dessert . She had a bloody Mary and I got a beer. Service was excellent. We had been there years ago and remembered the steep steps.
