Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Ashland

Once again an incredible dinner for our anniversary celebration. L’Opposum has been the most consistently delicious and welcoming restaurant for the almost decade we have been going here. They always are incredibly accommodating and provide genuine hospitality. We are so very lucky that our anniversary falls during fresh truffle season. Please do yourself a favor and get the truffle service when it’s available. It’s worth it!

Beautifully decorated for a romantic Thanksgiving dinner for two. From the valet to our server, employees were friendly and attentive. Food and wine were good. We really enjoyed our first dining experience there and will be back.

We made our reservations for 4:00 on Thanksgiving. We were offered their regular menu and a special menu for Thanksgiving, which is what we ordered. It included butternut squash soup, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots and green beans. It also included dessert, a slice of pumpkin praline cheesecake for believe it or not, $34.98. We started with an appetizer which we didn’t need, flatbread with feta and grilled tomatoes drizzled with balsamic. Crazy delicious! The soup was good and there was a generous serving of turkey, including a small portion of dark meat. The mashed potatoes were also good and the stuffing was okay. I am very picky about stuffing. It was mostly bread and I think I saw carrots in it but regardless it was bland. There was also gravy. The vegetables were awesome and the dessert was excellent. I had an espresso martini and my husband an old fashioned and beer. I ended up taking some dinner and dessert home. Our waitress, Sunshine, was pretty great too.

Consistently wonderful. We were celebrating the holidays a little early and Buckheads delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered cocktails, calamari and a variety of their filet mignon steaks. While we are always impressed with the food, our server was attentive and wanted us to be 100% satisfied with every detail. I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too boozy for my tastes and he happily returned it and didn't charge us. This is my preferred special dining establishment in Richmond.

A friend recommended to try Stella’s while visiting Richmond. Glad I did! Food , service, atmosphere was perfect. So many yummy things on the menu it was hard to not order it all. Will definitely bring going back next time I’m in town.
