Best Cozy Restaurants in Virginia Union University

Tess was absolutely wonderful in making this a birthday celebration to remember. From the beginning, she was a member of our family. We all enjoyed her food and drink recommendations that were spot on. The weather was rather bad on the outside, but the environment was fantastic on the inside. Fun was had by all, a large party of lucky seven!

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.

Although we made reservations, we had to wait 20 minutes for our table. It was a very busy Valentine evening. However, Terrant's downtown is always a great place for a nice meal. The atmosphere is great, and the food and service were excellent. A nice little perk is that if you show them your parking receipt, they will deduct it from your check. This is definitely a great place for lunch or dinner.

Lovely food, Lovely Waitress, Great Service, Would Recommend to people who like to have enjoyable experiences.

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.
