In a word: ENCHANTING…read more Yes. I'm enchanted by my date night dinner at Sen Organic. First, the designated parking makes everything instantly more accessible and simple. So I loved that. The place has an otherworldly feel of a fairy garden with tiny lights, lattice wound with plants and table set with fresh flowers and miniature oil lamps . The menu is exciting, especially for vegans, but also so aesthetically pleasing with hand drawn illustrations of most dishes. The hostess was a sweetheart who welcomed us in and showed us to our seats. Our server, Charlie, was great. Could not have asked for a nicer experience ordering. And he did a fine job checking on us without imposing and offering suggestions when prompted. The FOOD!! Oh my! Presentation was 10/10 on everything, starting with the breaded cauliflower appetizer served on an elegant platter over a bed of spring greenery. All the dishes were clay-style and visually complemented the food they held. My husband got a soup, Purple Bun Sen, that arrived looking like a tiny magical eco system with sprigs of grasses and a cluster of young mushrooms as garnish. The broth was a rich purple elixir that tasted unbelievably delicious. I got a Lemongrass Turmeric Tofu and multi grain plate, not quite as magical in appearance as his, but every bit as tasty. We shared a frosted coffee with vegan cream topping, Caramel Phin Freeze, immensely refreshing in this tripple-digit heat wave, and we got a little Dark Chocolate Cashew Tart to go. It was a nice surprise for our kids at home who helped us devour it. YES: VEGAN FRIENDLY

You can have a restaurant chefs/cooks knock it out of the park, and the service destroy the experience. There was a lovely hostess who seated us. We dined in on 8/29, a late lunch. We sat outside. Because of a late lunch, and game day for UR, it was quiet. One other family outside and no one inside when we first sat. Orders were quickly taken. Asked for club soda with a lime and the waiter told me that would be $6. Hard pass. Food came out..portions were generous. My friend ordered a Vietnamese coffee. After that, we didn't see our waiter until we went looking for him. He never came back to check on us nor the other table. I had to go inside to ask for the check. He and the other waiter were hangin out. Then I had to go back again to bring him the check (left a cash tip and did not want to leave that outside). The price for two people, two entrees and one Vietnamese coffee, $80+. I don't "get" having undertrained staff that blows the hard work of the rest of the staff. What started off well as a positive experience left us feeling dejected. You have the potential...follow through on the execution. Oh, and the club soda? When I went inside they had regular bottled club soda, plastic bottles, that they were using for beverages. $6 for a club soda? Ya gotta be joking.

We started out with some truffle fries and they were great, a must get. For lunch I had the Greek Falafel plate. Not only was the presentation gorgeous but it had a generous portion of hummus and tzatziki. It was full of crispy chickpeas to give a little crunch. The sweet peppers, rainbow carrots, and broccolini were roasted to perfection and full of flavor. The watermelon radish added a gorgeous splash of color and the feta spread throughout . The plate was served with a side of za'atar naan that was a burst of spice and completely complimented the meal. Then to top it off.... Beautiful flowers to add more color and elegance. The service was prompt and kind the entire time! Our colleague showed us around the place after our meal and the theme to me definitely is making people feel welcome and special. It's the little touches that matter, like the beautiful artwork extending from the first floor to the top floor in the stairwell. A cool place to work, collaborate, and be social offering various spaces to meet all your needs.

Richmond, VA hidden gem alert!…read more If you're ever in Richmond, you HAVE to check out Chez Foushee Restaurant & Bar! The moment you walk inside, you feel like you've been transported to a cozy little French restaurant. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful--warm, charming, and romantic with the perfect cozy vibes. I went by myself this time, and I can honestly say I would love to come back for a date night. The acoustic music playing in the background matched the ambiance perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more special. The food was amazing! My server recommended most of the things I ordered, and every single dish was a 10/10. The service, the flavors, the atmosphere--it all came together beautifully. Definitely adding this to my list of places I'd happily visit again. If you're looking for a cute date spot or a memorable dining experience in Richmond, this is the place.

Based on other reviews we were so excited to try Chez Foushee. Unfortunately our service and…read moreexperience was... really not great. Come with low expectations, come casual, and you'll have a better time. Or, for casual french food, go to Can Can, for fancy date night, try L'opossum. Restaurant was cramped, tables waaay too close for a nice restaurant, and way too small, we struggled to fit plates on our 2-top. (At $50/plate, struggle shouldn't be happening) For the first time in my life I had to ask the servers to please pre-bus the table, our plates sat until we asked they be removed. Biggest complaint with food and drinks was lack of balance. For example we ordered the baked Camembert, which arrived on a cold plate (as did all our warm dishes), and gelatinized quickly. There was a full wheel of cheese and barely a tablespoon of jam, so flavors were great for the first few bites, then blah. Rinse and repeat this with every dish we ordered. I ordered a cocktail and it was very strong, unbalanced, so I asked for a glass of wine. Our server was spread thin and checked on us rarely. I ordered the filet and found it lacked seasonal or French inspiration, frankly it was overwhelmingly bland and tough for a filet (cooked med rare). My husband's entree was the risotto, which was the best bite of meal, shrimp was fine - however, the portion was very small compared to my entree. Like, you would think his portion was an appetizer, compared to my plate. He cleaned his plate, helped me with my plate and my plate had food when we left. The space also had really poor ventilation. The hostess wore too much perfume, and the scent would linger distractingly at the table every time she walked by. Another patron was sat near us and his cologne dominated the palate, we skipped desert. This isn't an issue at any other restaurant I've dined in recently, so I have to assume the HVAC needs a fresh filter or something. When they reset a table next to us, they fanned the cloth AT us, flicking any dust directly on our plates and food. Linens weren't steamed, very wrinkly tables for the price point and branding as an upscale spot. Don't plan to return and would not recommend.

This restaurant is absolutely adorable, though bear in mind that their seating is somewhat limited. For a larger group, we ended up sitting outside, but luckily the weather worked out well, and they had a heater and blankets if needed. I definitely recommend making reservations for this place. We started out with some of the duck pate, which he also loves, which were absolutely delicious. I'm not usually the biggest fan, but I loved all the accoutrements that they included alongside the pate. The cocktails were all delicious, we enjoyed all the ones that we had. I had to the steak frites medium rare, which was very delicious, and the fries or something to write home about - they're so crispy and flavorful, we ordered a whole extra one to share. I do feel as though the steak on its own was a bit underseasoned and did need the bearnaise sauce to really appreciate it fully -- I think just a bit more salt and it would've been perfect. The service was really excellent, even though we were seated outside, our server was attentive. I definitely would love to come back and try more of their menu!
