Best Restaurants for Groups in Virginia

How to describe my favorite restaurant in Richmond and one of my favorites of all time...the experience starts once you walk in. The music, the art, the names of the dishes on the menu. For a few seconds the sounds and sights are like a roller coaster running full steam, but then everything settles into place and your visit begins to flow. Fresh truffle service tableside? This is the place to do that. Mac and Cheese with Maine Lobster and that truffle service? Sign me up. Swashbuckling Bundt Pirate cake served on a classic Aquaman plate for desert? Yes please. Just don't forget to get your reservation in well in advance. Dress code isn't stuffy, but leave the ball cap in the car.

A Perfect Night at The Boathouse at City Point I had the most incredible experience at this restaurant! On February 14, 2025, I got engaged to my best friend—one of the happiest moments of my life, second only to becoming a mother. I was completely overjoyed and surprised! The food and service were absolutely excellent, making the night even more special. Despite living in the area for a year, this was my first visit to The Boathouse at City Point, and I’m so glad he chose this restaurant for such a memorable occasion. I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to celebrate such a beautiful moment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service and food as always! Tried a little of everything and left very satisfied on Valentines Day!

I’ve had another location before, but I was really excited about eating here being that it’s now so close to home. The food was overall good, it met my expectations. However our waitress needed more training. She was very forgetful/clueless. There were also some discrepancies with the menu and pricing. Be sure to review your checks before leaving because they will slap items on your bill that you didn’t receive!! I would rate this location 7/10

The food is nothing short of outstanding, showcasing bold and authentic Caribbean flavors in every bite. From perfectly seasoned jerk chicken to rich, aromatic chicken curry, amazing chicken pineapple fried rice is a celebration of the islands. The service is equally impressive; the staff is attentive, friendly, and eager to make your experience unforgettable. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!
