They navigated me to some good honey lavender macchiato and one of their signature sandwiches. Food: top tier. So I'm not a sandwich eater but I wanted to try their food. I got the turkey with bacon, provolone, lettuce and tomato on rye. Born and raised in NY, I could never find a decent sandwich in Richmond. This was perfect. And the CHIPS!!! Delish. Def worth a trip back!! 9 out of 10.

They are always welcoming, and it's a good place to read or work, especially upstairs. That being said, the food truthfully is very mediocre. I've had salad where half of the ingredients were still frozen, including salmon. I've gotten sick (food poisoning or diarrhea) after eating breakfast here 3 times, so had to just stop going all together. I don't know if it's the grease of the grill or what, but I just can't continue to go. I'm not sure if others have had similar experiences, but I've been hesitant to post for months and months.

What a cute spot! I came here for a craft night (not affiliated with the brewery) and really loved…read morethe space. There's plenty of seating and space to move around, and the decor lining the windows/walls is super cute. The drink choices include beer and cocktails made with their hard seltzer. I had the strawberry honey cocktail and it was pretty tasty! They also serve Jell-O shots, which I didn't try, but I am very intrigued. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, and he made solid drink recommendations. I don't hang around southside very often, but I can imagine heading back down that way to give this place another visit!

We were walking in the area and stumbled upon this place. We have tried a lot of breweries out but…read morehad not been here. I found out that they are based out of Norfolk. They have a pretty good mix of beer types... lager, pilsner, IPA, Ales, etc. My favorite of the ones that I tried was Pilsners are Lagers... It was a good blend of the two. We hung out for a while and the service was good and the crowd was pretty laid back. Not sure loud and annoying. When down there visiting again, I am sure we will stop in for another round. It is only street parking so you may have to look around some but so far it has not been hard.

A friend and I wanted to catch up over brunch so we decided on Autum Restaurant & Lounge located in…read morethe Manchester area of Richmond. When I walked in they were playing hiphop and the few people inside appeared to be enjoying the vibes. We started with a mimosa carafe and checked out the brunch menu. There was only one person working the bar who also took our orders. We ordered from their brunch menu and waited a really long time to get food. We were talking and catching se we didn't mind. The french toast was delicious! It has a sweet glaze and fresh blueberries on top. The veggie omelette was ridiculously good! I could drink the sauce that came on top of it because it's that good lol. My friend had the salmon cakes, breakfast potatoes and turkey bacon and enjoyed it. I tasted her potatoes and regretted not ordering any because they were so tasty! It might take a bit to get your food here but don't rush perfection m; have some patience because it's definitely worth the wait. Trust the process lol. Go check it out y'all!

Liberty Public House prides itself on being a lesbian-owned restaurant in Richmond, which is very…read moreevident in the decor- rainbows everywhere, which I love! It's a very popular restaurant, so today, when we entered, while we were greeted right away, there was a 30 minute wait. The time actually went by relatively fast, and by the time we were seated, large cups of ice water were already there at our table, as well as a carafe to refill them. There's no physical menus, instead you scan a QR code which brings you to their menu. They have lots of drink options, including several specialty cocktails, beers, and ciders. Our waiter was super sweet and attentive, and the food came out relatively quickly. For my drink, I ordered a local cider from a Virginia ciderie, as well as the It's A Wrap, which has cheddar, ranch, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and your choice of protein (I got tofu). I also got a side of the Mac and cheese, which I could tell was made in house. Super creamy and flavorful with a hint of spice. My wrap was also insanely good! I'm impressed by the amount of vegetarian options here. Any burger can be made both gluten free or vegan, and the choices of protein make it more accessible for everyone who comes in. I'm really happy we were recommended this place!

The food won't necessarily blow your socks off-- however it is consistently good, a lot of vegan/gluten free/etc options, lots of cocktail and beer options, and even the pickiest of eaters could find something they enjoy there.

They also have a solid happy hour.

Drinks: Majority of the party enjoyed fresh lemonade while my boyfriend and I enjoyed cocktails. Me: Flight of the Bumblebees- this was a refreshing summer drink My boyfriend: Tiger's Eye. Perfect bourbon flavor Food: The cornbread was our least favorite, really dry and lacked taste. Fried oysters- these were divine! Lightly seasoned and fried well. The remoulade and house pickled carrots, pickles, and onions added a fresh touch to the dish. My dish: Pasta Bolognese. This was AMAZING! All of the flavors that you'd look for in a well prepared Bolognese. I was thoroughly pleased Other dishes: Special: Steak with glazed rainbow carrots and stringed beans. The steak had a little too much salt but it was prepared well and the rainbow carrots were amazing Chicken tenders and fries for the little one. They loved it lol Bone in pork chops: I was told that this was incredible from start to finish Overall, we had a great dining experience and appreciate the staff for accommodating our large party during a graduation celebration.

We had tried to make reservations for a group visiting from out state but were not allowed to by the reservation. Should have taken this as a sign that groups are clearly not wanted nor welcome when arriving. The staff tried everything they could to make it an unpleasant experience once they were assured of an automatic 20% gratuity. Petty things, such as forbidding the movement to another table out of the sun, when there were many other tables available. I left early after being chastised for loving a chair but the family decided to stay. They shared that the crappy service continues the entire time they stayed. Those that are reported that the food was fair at best. Not sure that this sorry excuse for service is a great business model. Perhaps it is saved especially for large groups. Either way it would appear that the just do not care. Stay away.

The server, Briana, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Personable, great smile, friendly, and knew her stuff. We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.

The grilled chicken was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the pickled onions added the perfect tangy bite. Every bite was delicious. We also tried the steak and fries, and the steak was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion, tender, and topped with a flavorful chimichurri-style sauce. The fries were crispy and the perfect side. To top it all off, I had one of their frozen drinks, and it was so refreshing--the perfect pairing with the meal. If you're looking for a casual spot with great food, generous portions, and a fun tropical atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

The staff were polite, but we had to ask several times to get items we were missing or things we wanted extras of. They checked in on us a fair number of times, but they still forgot to return to give us what we had asked for. By the time we were ready to leave, we still haven't gotten our dressings or our condiments. I also had asked for my burger to be well done, but I got a burger with quite a bit of pink in it. I didn't want to ask for it to be placed back on the grill because I didn't really want to wait longer for my food. Although I wanted my burger to be well done and I didn't get it that way, it was still pretty good. The fries though, I think was the best part of it. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crunchy! I also ordered a coke. Just a heads up, they don't do free refills on the sodas, so each cup is $4. My party also ordered salmon l'orange and a romano salad with salmon. My friends really enjoyed their main dishes, but we did ask for extra dressing. The restaurant is decorated in a boho-style vibe, and it was cute. We found the lighting on the side dining area to be a little bit too dim once the sun went down, but I do think it would've been perfect for a date night vibe. Overall, we had an okay experience.
