    Staff was friendly and prompt, they went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The rockfish and salmon entrees were perfectly cooked and the cocktails were phenomenal. The space was quiet and inviting, and never felt like we had to talk over the room ambience or other patrons. Would highly recommend to anyone.

    Excellent experience, the entire staff was friendly and professional. Food was as good as would be expected at a restaurant on this level. Great job by the bartender, best Old Fashion I've had, and there have been many. The Filet Mignon was absolutely perfect. I had the special, stuffed Rockfish and it was great. There is a lot of great competition in this arena and we're looking for the best of Richmond. These guys are on the short list.

    It was my first time - I had high expectations as I had heard amazing things. It was a special birthday dinner. We thought the food was good.... but didn't blow our minds, considering the price point. A lot of the food seemed overly salted/seasoned and that's coming from someone who loves their salt. The Fondue appetizer and Zeppole dessert (like italian beignets made with ricotta) were both extraordinary and I would come back for those.
