    This was a return visit to this sweet neighborhood restaurant. Wonderful food, smooth, prompt and friendly service, and a relaxing chic vibe all made for a great evening. Definitely will order the Scottish salmon served with a corn chowder and a hint of smoked bacon again. The chestnut soup was as delicious as ever, and the generous salad of local greens topped things off. We'll be back!

    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.

    It was by boyfriends birthday and they made it special from the hostess stand to walking out the door. Austin was a wonderful server and the food was very good. Not wildly expensive either. Great choice to celebrate - will definitely be back and often.
