    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.

    If I could give 100/10, I would. Food, service, ambience all on point as always. L'Opossum is a true gem and Richmond is so lucky to have her. Smoked Trout Winter Salad and Moroccan Chicken still lingering on the tip of my tongue.

    I have dined in some of the finest establishments in the country. From Chez Pannise and The French Laundry to Le Circe, Gabriel Kruether and Per Se in cities from San Francisco and Santa Fe to Boston and Bangor and scores in between. L’Opossum is as good as any of them and some of their cuisine is even better. I am a devote of Alice Waters and it’s a lot to say, but the food here is as good as hers. Creative cuisine and professional, gracious service with an eclectic ambiance and unique style make this my go to establishment. I am amazed how they do it consistently year after year. Mr. Shannon and his staff knows how to cook and how to run a restaurant, IMO, the toughest business on earth. Reserve your spot A.S.A.P.!

    L’O never disappoints! The attention to every detail makes for an unforgettable experience— from the music, to the decor, to the impeccable service and incredibly inventive and delicious food, L’O always delivers. We love to sit at the bar here, where we always make a new friend and enjoy a chat with the bartender.
