The server was outstanding. Checked in with us regularly. The food and cocktails were really good. We had reservations and were seated right on time. Our cocktails and appetizers arrived quickly. Our entrees were served very soon after the appetizer plates were cleared. The dessert and coffee were good too. I didn’t find the restaurant to be too noisy (as others have said). It was a great night out!

The service and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. The beverages and food were fairly priced for how much you got and overall I felt like it was a good value. However, both my date and I were extremely disappointed by the food. One dish had absolutely no taste at all while the other dish was extremely over seasoned.

Loved dining here. Food was very fresh and served hot when applicable. So many Richmond restaurants can’t get the food on the table in a timely manner. Thus cold food. Service was seedless, food delicious, drinks good. Very noisy but we could hear each other talk. Very happy place.

The waiter was great, kept us entertained. We did have to send a stake back because it was over cooked and the food came at different times so some of us had food and others didn’t which made it a bit awkward.

A staple in the Richmond area. Jamilton was professional, attentive, and personable. He knew the menu well and gave excellent suggestions on pairings. The ambiance was excellent for lunch so I'd assume it'd be the same for dinner. The food was absolutely excellent that I can easily say my wife and I would eat here again.
