Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Mechanicsville

We arrived on time for our 8pm reservation. It was crowded and we had to wait no more than 10 minutes to be seated. Once seated it took our sever a couple of minutes to take our drink order. The food, drinks and ambience was perfect. The Christmas decorations and Christmas cocktails were amazing. Helen’s definitely is top notch with service, food and cocktails.

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday/Christmas here. It was a first visit for us all. The food was exemplary, the ambiance was perfect, and the attention to details were superior. We had custom menus with Happy 50th Birthday Todd printed at the top, and dessert came out with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate with a candle. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was wonderful and patient with our party. My one critique is the garnishes were more for looks than eating, while the meat/main entree was great, but that could just be personal taste. Overall a wonderful experience and my husband had a perfect birthday.

The food at The Tobacco Company is always very good and the service is consistently outstanding. It seems no matter who our server is we are always treated like welcome guests by the entire front of the house staff. Our server, Bekah, as well as the other front of the house staff, kept their eyes on our table and we never had to wait to have a plate cleared or a glass refilled. We especially appreciate our server paying attention to our table and timing our courses such that we never have more than one course at a time on our table. We never feel rushed or ignored at The Tobacco Company which makes an evening out for dinner seem like a special occasion.

Always an excellent experience in fine dining with a quirky twist in atmosphere and decor. Best restaurant soundtracks ever. Talented bartender with great range of cocktails. Servers are well trained and knowledgeable.

Dinner is consistently good, whenever we've been. Hot and delicious as you'd expect. Service is always friendly, quick and attentive. The fried duck legs are unique and wonderful. Always a must have for dinner!
