Best Date Night Restaurants in Mechanicsville

When I think of Carytown the first place that comes to mind is Can Can Brasserie. And like fine wine, it’s gotten better with age. From arrival to check we were made to feel like VIP. The drinks top tier, an extensive champagne list including vintages from 2000 and beyond. Even when ordering bread the food is always plated beautifully and creates an atmosphere all on its own. For brunch do the Quiche Du Jour and French Toast. And for Dinner you have to do the Scallops. Non-negotiable on that. They are life changing.

Food was exquisite. Cooked to perfection. We had the calamari and she crab soup, then the Steak Oscar and my man had the sirloin with a crabcake. The drinks were strong enough and tasted delicious. Try the P.Y.T. and the chocolate cherry kiss, they won't disappoint. He also had the barrel aged old fashioned and said it was the best old fashioned he had ever had. Dessert was the white chocolate bread pudding and the key lime pie; they were fantastic, as well. We were not rushed, we had everything we needed quickly and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Pricey? Yes but well worth it. This was my 2nd time there, his 1st. We will definitely return!

So we went to Perry's Valentine's night and had a reservation at 645 and they were running 15-20 min behind finally at 730 we Sat down but they had no glasses clean for drinks waited about 15 more for water and drinks from the bar. We had a limited menu but I was disappointed that they sat me in the bar beside someone I could hear the entire conversation and they were so loud and it was hard for my husband to even hear anything. And I booked for the patio too. The service was spectacular though as the food . The wedge salad was fantastic. The wine was super expensive one glass was 56.00 and it was ok. The steak and lobster was delicious and I could honestly say the fillet was the best I ever had. The mashed potatoes were really good as were the veggies too. The chocolate covered strawberries were scrumptious. We had so much food left over definitely enough for 4 people. Price wise the food definitely was worth it. Not so much the wine. Definitely would go back just not for Valentine's Day. They had 1500 reservations and I feel they overbooked for everyone. Hopefully next year they limit the reservations. I feel you get better service and not so rushed. We didn't even get to finish our salads before food was out.

The dinner was Outstanding and the Best Part was our Server, SAM!! He was so conscientious and funny..we loved him from the start! The Menu was excellent and the complimentary bubbly was all of an ounce (could have at least filled the glass a 1/4 full ;o)

Fall Line is a wonderful find in Downtown Richmond. Thought full menu , prepared with love. Everything we have had has been expertly prepared. The wait staff are friendly and well versed about the Restaurants services.
