Restaurants near Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

The waiters were helpful and informative. They knew the menu well and the smoky BBQ sauce is delish. We had fried oysters. Good texture outside but the flavor was in the sauce so ask for sauce on the side as well. The black bean burger was good but needed sauce I will add pickles next time. The fries were perfect! The wings were fine but they served one that was way too dry and over grilled. The smash burger came out great!

I’ll try to avoid exaggeration here but I may have just had the best meal of my life. I had the special which was shrimp and sausage with orecchiette pasta and it was so good. I mean just really really incredible. My dinner partner had the famous 5 which is basically their spaghetti. It was the best spaghetti I have ever tasted and I’ve had plenty. The service was incredible. The entire meal took about 40 minutes from the time we sat down and we had an appetizer as well. The value is great considering we have leftovers for 3 more days and that is not hyperbole. This is the best restaurant for the money in richmond Virginia. Of that I have no doubt.

Wonderful service! Great, upbeat atmosphere! We always have a great meal here…best bread service!!

This is one of the top restaurants in RVA. Consistently excellent dishes fit for the season. Strong cocktail choices. Delicious wine list. And attentive service. A true gem.

This was one of the best brunches we’ve had at Lewis Ginter. The food was great and the location was very nice. We’ve done a few in the past and by far the best selections. Was a little pricey especially for kids but we’d do it again.
