    We've been wine club members for about 1 1/2 years. We took our son and his wife for wine tasting and dinner last night for his birthday. My standard complaint is how packed the wine tasting bar is and how long we have to wait. Other than than, we had a fun experience and our dinner was enjoyable as usual. I've discovered the Shrimp Scampi which is wonderful. Our food was great, wine was good, noise level high but not sure what can be done about that. Our server was Janie and she was delightful and attentive. All in all another good evening!

    Consistently wonderful. We were celebrating the holidays a little early and Buckheads delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered cocktails, calamari and a variety of their filet mignon steaks. While we are always impressed with the food, our server was attentive and wanted us to be 100% satisfied with every detail. I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too boozy for my tastes and he happily returned it and didn't charge us. This is my preferred special dining establishment in Richmond.

    Perfect early dinner choice. We actually called in 45 minutes before our reservation time, to ask if we could come in a bit early. "Come in as soon as you get here" was the cheerful response. The menu is not expansive, but we each found entrees that sounded intriguing. The appetizer (calamari) was a perfect start. Our waitress was very attentive, and inviting. She even noticed that we were following a football game score on my phone, and asked the bartender to change the channel so that we could actually watch the broadcast!
