Best Healthy Restaurants in Mechanicsville

The crab bisque was excellent as usual as was Stella’s Calamari. A big disappointment was that there are no longer carafes of wine offered and there is no house wine. The wine we had was overly expensive and not very good. The usually excellent Cypriot salad was served in a pile on a plate that made it difficult to manage. The best part of that salad are the grapes and pistachios. There were 2 half grapes and maybe 4 pistachios. The rest lettuce. This is the first time we have not rated Stella’s with 5 stars.

A lovely restaurant! Great food! Great atmosphere for a quiet, evening with my husband.

Daily Kitchen's staff is excellent and very knowledgeable about their food and menu. Their hospitality and Southern charm most definitely would make me come again. I was visiting from Chicago and was not disappointed.

The Jefferson is one of the few places that remains as an example of old Richmond and I pray they never change. Just listen to the visitors from all over sitting around me and all you hear are people commenting to each other how delicious their meal is. My wife and I have enjoyed an evening there many times and I have tried several of the meals there. Every time it was exceptional. From their Tenderloin to their Rockfish, each meal was a special event. If you are looking for somewhere for a formal occasion like a special date, anniversary, etc. I highly recommend the Jefferson. It is a bit pricey, but the food and service is second to none.

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.
