- SSinclairVirginia •104 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoZac did a great job as our server. Food was fun and tasty. If asked, skip the kimchi bacon egg rolls - good flavor but too fried as they need to use a different wrapper. Soup dumplings were great. Nice happy hour choices and perks. Make suit to try the shrimp chips.More infoAnd Dim SumPrice: Moderate• Dim Sum• Richmond•4.1
- SSuzanneVirginia •98 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.More infoStella's - RichmondPrice: Moderate• Greek• Richmond•4.9

- KKianaVIPVirginia •5 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Dec 2024The Tinsel & Tequila cocktails were some of the best I’ve had for a Christmas pop-up menu, well prepared and much more enjoyable than other restaurants in Richmond. The empanadas were fresh and hot, and we loved the Casa Crunch Burrito. I recommend a stop by for happy hour at the bar, or for dinner before a night out with friends.More infoCasa del Barco - Canal WalkPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Richmond•3.8
