Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Richmond

This was a dinner we had been looking forward to. Shout out to our server - Susan - and the support staff whose service standards truly impressed. The menu features expertly paired flavors that highlight French cuisine as well as fresh, original takes on cocktails. The vibe is positively quirky and unique and our group agreed unanimously that this dining experience lived up to the hype. L’Opossum is a standout in Richmond food scene.

Wonderful service and food. The appetizers and entrees were beautifully presented.

Wonderful experience! Bradley was a phenomenal waiter. Cowboy ribeye was the best steak my partner and I have eaten, and paired with the scampi sides elevated it to the top. Also tried the stuffed salmon, which was okay. Desserts were amazing as well. Service was way better than expected!

This was my husband and my first time to Lemaire. We specifically scheduled a time to visit The Jefferson Hotel during the holiday season. It did not disappoint. We arrived at the hotel and found the parking lot easily. We took a ticket (to be validated at the meal), and we entered the lobby. We were greeted by the host and taken tour our seat within just a minute or so. The ambiance is perfect. Low lighting, but not so low that you can't read. The music is perfect, allowing for conversation to take place without having to yell, but also providing a nice background sound. Our server was Candi. She greeted us warmly and in a friendly manner. We ordered the Caesar salads which were delicious. The best I've had in a while. We ordered the chicken breast to split. It came with an apricot wild rice and sauces. These were all amazing! No critiques. We also ordered a side of the mac and cheese, which was delicious as well. We each had two glasses of sparkling rose to celebrate the day (January 1st) and finished with the chocolate caramel gateau. Candi was pleasant and helpful the entire time. She was friendly and interesting, asking us questions about ourselves and making conversation. All in all, this was a great experience. We even talked about it being an annual event for us.

What a wonderful dinner and holiday experience. The food was delicious, our waiter was delightful and the surroundings were beautiful and festive. Perfect in every way!
