Best Seasonal Restaurants in Virginia

We finally made it to Floris on Christmas Day. What a perfect experience on a special occasion! The sweets and savories served with with wonderful teas was as scrumptious and delicious as it was for us in England. It doesn’t seem like a lot of food is being served since it’s in small portions. But we were completely full when we left with no need for any dinner when we got home. Everything was beautiful and perfect. I don’t even like beets. Yet I loved the delicate little beet sandwich. The scones were really tasty. And the desserts tasted even better than they looked. Adam was our server, and he did a fabulous job, as did all the servers. We will definitely be back.

I had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.

Incredible as always. Arctic Char was outstanding and the Fondue starter was fun.

This was an annual special event opportunity to dine in the tea house. The food was wonderful. Part of the treat of course is that it is held in the middle of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden during their winter Gardenfest of Light. The gardens were beautiful to look out on while enjoying a wonderful meal. This is also a fundraiser for the gardens, which we love to visit.

Our overall experience was excellent. The staff did an amazing job for our son’s graduation lunch. I believe one of the waitresses name is Tameka. Please, forgive me if I mentioned the name incorrectly. The ambience, decor, food, and staff were all superb!! I will highly recommend “Small Batch Kitchen” to my family and friends. Shout out to the chef for delicious and elegant cuisine. The staff designed and created unique menus and table decor especially for our graduate. It was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant. Kudos for excellent service! R. Brooks
