Restaurants near River Road Shopping Center

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!!

Music was a little loud, and we had to talk over it

The food was amazing, we got the Braveheart filet (which was perfect) and the steak su poivre (which was a little too peppery). The chocolate terrine was delicious too!

My my cognac, chicken and cream entrée was excellent. The side dish, au gratin potatoes contained gluten which I cannot eat, so I told the server and they substituted a very generous portion of a gluten-free pasta with my selected sauce. It was my wife’s birthday so they comped our first drinks.  it was an all-around wonderful experience: great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.
