Kell did an amazing job - so attentive! The crab cakes (all crab of course) and bread were out of this world! The owner came to visit! Couldn’t ask for a better evening visiting Richmond

OMG! This place is amazing! The food is absolutely the best crab cakes and filet. The filter melted in your mouth. The loaded mashed were so tasty. Bradley was on his toes bringing everything we needed. He’s a Magician, I think. Even met the owner! This is our new special place. Thank you to Jackie for the special twist on my mixed drink! She made it happen and dressed it up nicely too! They even made me a personalized menu.

Went here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and could not have been happier. Hubby and I talked afterwards and decided we liked this place better than Ruth Chris! Now don't get me wrong it's expensive but it's soooo worth it for those big milestones in your life! The personal touches here are amazing and I was surprised as hubby made the reservation. They even do a special photo for you when you are done eating!

Brought the family out for a celebratory dinner. We appreciate the accommodations they made to get us in on such a busy day! Great customer service. The food was amazing. The portions were generous and the chefs did a wonderful job with presentation and flavor. Not my first time here and definitely won't be my last.

To start, our waiter Israel was top notch, super attentive, very polite, and was super helpful with any questions. The food was phenomenal we had the seared tuna and some oysters to start which were outstanding, for entrees both we had a filet and a ribeye which were both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The entire experience was amazing, fast service, outstanding food, the owner came by and talked with us which was nice of him. Will definitely be coming back here next time we are in town!

Came here for our 4th anniversary and the experience was amazing. The food was so good and the atmosphere was great. It happened to be pouring the night we went and the owner personally walked everyone out with an umbrella. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!
