    Mini Crab Cake
    Caitlin R.

    Went here after a friend recommended it. First off, just know the place is kind of giving a club vibe. The music is blaring and it was a bit hard to talk or hear anything. The service wasn't the best either. The lady took 10 mins to even greet us and ask us if we wanted a drink. Once we ordered food it took another half hour. I was really surprised by how TINY the mini crab cakes were given the price of $14. Nonetheless, they were tasty and the sauce was the highlight of the dish. I also ordered the Honey Jerk wings. While they were tasty, they were overly seasoned with rosemary and didn't taste like honey at all. Don't think I would come back.

    Food: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 Frozen drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 This place is so good you'll be thinking about what you're going to order the next time you come back, because you will! To start off, this place is a vibe. Cool frozen daiquiris and a full bar, nice restaurant, good music, great menu, and hookah and a party when it gets late. The menu has all the best dishes from fried snapper, lamb chops, cajun pasta, and more. Definitely something for everybody. They also have a lot of unique wing sauces like Hennessy, sweet whiskey, and honey jerk which we got just to try on the side and loved. We got fried red snapper with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. We got the wing sauces on the side to try with the snapper and all were amazing. The snapper was fried so well and tasted amazing. Mac and mashed potatoes both melted in your mouth, just look at the pictures. Definitely worth coming to eat here, we actually drove all the way from Raleigh for it!

    Very good time. Wish it was bigger. Parking is not it by no means. Food was ok. Wayyyy too spicy. The French toast was good.

    1st time here and I can say I'm not too impressed by the service. Not sure if they were short on workers but it I had to wave the girl down to get her attention to ask for stuff. Then I waited almost 30 mins for my appetizer for her and the cook to come out the kitchen and say they just ran out of spinach and artichoke dip so I was very upset. They asked if I wanted to get something else instead but I said no because at this pint just bring my food. I ordered Cajun shrimp chicken and salmon pasta and when it came the chicken was clearly over cooked and dried out. The rest of it was good but I sent it back to get the cooked over. They brought my food back it looked much better this time.

    Stopped by MiniBar on a Saturday around 8:30-9pm for a quick appetizer and drink with a friend. Restaurant was fairly empty..about 3 other parties at the current time. We were greeted outside and sat at the bar quickly. Our server was ok. Not too much convo, she did get our orders in quickly but I have to agree with previous reviews. She kept leaving to go sit outside in the front with other co workers. It didn't bother us but when it was time to leave she was outside and someone had to flag her in to bring us a check. If I'm paying $50+ for 2 drinks and appetizer at your bar I would at least expect your employees to stay inside. I highly doubt she was washing her hands each time she came back in. Any who, the crab cakes were good. Sauce was slightly spicy but not a bad thing. I probably will give them another try for lunch or dinner but the service needs to be a bit better.

    I ventured here last month with two friends. We arrived around 7/730 and the place was not packed. Ww were s eww ated within about 6 minutes of arrival. This space is not very big, so it is very intimate. It is a great atmosphere. Love the uniform of the staff. I ordered the crab cakes appetizer. They were more like crab balls, but they were delicious. The sauce was great as well. A friend ordered the Big Ash Shrimp appetizer. Those were also good. The sauce was excellent. The shrimp were actually big. I intended to order the crab stuffed shrimp, but I was informed that they has run out of that dish. As a backup choice, I ordered the cajun pasta with shrimp. Just the right amount of spice and just the right amount of sauce. I could've used a little more shrimp. I love shrimp. It was a nice portion. My friends, respectively, ordered fried rice and jerk pasta. They said that their dishes were great. I would return and I hope that my next experience is the same is this one. [I did attempt to have Brunch the very next day. Upon my arrival (2 hours after they state that they open for brunch), there was a note handwritten on a piece of paper stating that they would not be open on that day. I was very disappointed in this. I was truly looking forward to trying their brunch.

    We came to Minibar RVA now known as Frozay. Overall the drinks were great we had Mango Ciroc Sangria, Love potion and Lights Out. Our food took a while to come out, so we were given cornbread for our wait. When our food finally came, my salmon was over cooked. The lobster sandwich my friend order was dry. It was a super busy night, maybe we'll try dining another night. The drinks and the DJ were gray though lol

    Smelly seafood, dry salmon, but at least it was pretty?

    This was the first a last time I've been here (now Frozay RVA). You can't put a flower on food and call it good for one. They opened an hour and fifteen minutes late...then charged 18% gratuity while immediately taking payment for the food like it was a to-go order. The waitress/host didn't even walk us to our table but earned 18% for taking our order. We ordered drinks, as most people do, and the bar tender also charged us 18% on a separate tab! Unbelievable! I know we are in a pandemic but I guess this is what we get for supporting a small business? I feel ripped off ($100+! For both meals). My salmon was dry, seafood was smelly, & lamb chops over cooked.

    I have been wanting to come taste the food here as I have heard really good things about this restaurant & cocktail bar. A friend and I came Saturday 3/31/18 @6:30pm. This restaurant isnt that big but a comfortable size. The seating area at the bar was full and there were a few tables with a reserved sign on them which made there be about 3 tables available, lucky me! I ordered a Ceasar Salad and the Lobster Imperial which came with Roasted Red Potatoes and Asparagus. My friend ordered the Lemon Pepper Wings for his appetizer and for dinner the Lamb Chops with a Balsamic Glaze. This also came with the Roasted Red Potatoes and Asparagus. Both dinners were pretty good. The waitress offered us a side order of corn bread because of a slight wait, that was appreciated because we were both hungry. The corn bread was VERY good. This restaurant also had a buzzer thing on the table for you if you need the waitstaff. If you hit it, they are alerted on their "smart watch." Pretty cool. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

    I'm blown away once again. I love the cuisine here and the presentation, even on takes out, is flawless. My burger was rich and seasoned to perfection, and reasonably priced for lobster tails. The cheesecake hit the spot, creamy and the texture was perfect. There are not many times that I can say that about cheesecake.

    Brunch @ Minibar RVA isn't complete without a Lights Out!
    Erica G.

    Minibar RVA is not far from my apartment and it first came on my radar during Black Restaurant Week. My schedule didn't allow me to visit then but the following Sunday I decided to see if the buzz was worth the hype. On Sunday's they have their brunch menu, which is small but everything sounded delicious. I ended up ordering one of their infamous Lights Out drink, which is rum punch cocktail served in a light bulb. This cocktail lives up to it's name because it is sweet but has a quiet bite and too many of these will definitely have you out like a light! My server and a regular customer sitting next to me at the bar, raved about the chicken wings and their fried fish so that is what I ended up ordering. I got the wings in the sweet whiskey sauce, which was tangy, sweet and finger licking good! The wings are a must order when you come here. The fried fish was just as good. 4 pieces of tender whiting fish seasoned down to the socks, breaded and fried to the heavens, served with amazing cooked potatoes. Along with the friendly staff and the great ambiance of 90's R&B playing in the background, Minibar had spoken to my foodie spirit. My second visit was for dinner, thus a different menu! I ended up getting the Ciroc Sangria and Jerk Chicken Pasta. My cocktail and my entree was even better than my previous meal. The chicken had a kick but the pasta sauce balanced out the heat into perfect harmony. The pasta also came with a small piece of cornbread, which tasted like yummy pound cake. The portion of the pasta was so big I had to take most of it home for leftovers. On top of that the staff remembered my order and me from my previous visit. That really resonated with me, I love customer service that is genuine and gives that personal touch. When my bill came I was even more surprised to find that my drink and pasta had a $2 discount for each for happy hour ( 5 pm -7pm). Thank you Mini Bar for two great meal experiences. I am looking forward to coming back to trying more from this hidden gem!

    Went today for the first time for their Sunday brunch. When I say that was the best buffet for brunch I've had in Richmond I mean it. The Rasta pasta was perfect. The salmon was season very well. The fried fish was a " lil " to salty for my liking, however it was still good. The pitcher of mimosas were great, definitely all champagne (hold the orange juice). I do recommend that you purchase your ticket before for your reservation because the first come first serve seating goes quick. All in all, It was a great vibe and I'll definitely be going again.

    Went to MiniBar for my birthday. Great first experience. Our server, Ryan was great. She gave helpful tips on the most popular dishes and drinks. She also provided extremely quality service. Everything I ate and drank were delish. Must try's are the whiskey wings, cajun pasta with salmon and shrimp and the lights out. I also had the moscato mule which was really good. Can't wait to go back, hopefully get Ryan as our server and try out brunch!

    We went to Alewife during restaurant week. I sometimes think restaurants just phone it in for that…read moreweek, but Alewife was all in. The service was a little too leisurely for my temperament, and the tab did arrive at the table on one piece of paper when we had clearly requested that there be a separate tab for each couple, but those would be my only complaints. We all had cocktails, one from their specialty list and three that were standard issue. All were delicious and had an appropriate alcohol content for cocktails. The restaurant week menu provided a good variety of choices. Everything we had was really delicious. Portions were generous, so I could not eat more than about half of each course and not get overly full, but I assume they are sized for all but the hungriest diner. The venue's sound level was pretty high. I could have left my hearing aids at home so I wouldn't hear as much of the background noise. Noisy restaurants are pretty standard, I guess. We will definitely be returning to Alewife. It will probably take the place of Grisette in the rotation, which has been dropped because of institution of a fee for reservations canceled less than 24 hours in advance. (I don't think it should be treated as a privilege to dine somewhere when you have so many equivalent choices, but I guess they want to decrease the number of people who try to make them their dining choice. Objective accomplished.) The Hemingway quote at the bottom of the tab was a little weird. Not a Hemingway fan, but I guess it was an interesting thing to do. If you have read other reviews of mine, you may be aware that basically non-alcoholic cocktails that should have alcohol in them are reason enough for me to never return to a restaurant.

Street parking only but wasn't hard to find. We came in being one of the first parties in. Our server explained the menu in full and all the specials in full. To drink we had the Bebot and the Monkey Business to start, both were really good. The thing we knew we needed to have to eat was the Siren's Song special which was a lazy Susan full of different dishes. The Siren's Song consisted of oysters, fried clam strips, smoked fish dip, seared tuna, pineapple fried rice, and a fried fish collar (sorry don't remember the fish, maybe Skate) with a Szechuan dry rub on it. This seriously was an amazing display. Every single dish just took it up a notch. They were also super nice to accommodate making it pescatarian because the Siren's Song usually has meat elements. The fried collar really blew me away. So meaty, fried perfectly, and the dry rub was so flavorful but not too salty or hot. Despite finishing the whole Siren's Song, we also got the Cascatelli without guanciale which was also delicious. We finished off with their caramel custard which wasn't too sweet and had a great mix of textures and flavors. Also tried one of their NA drinks and a glass of their special chilled Grenache Noir which was surprisingly good (not a big red wine fan). Overall, we absolutely loved it here. Each dish was amazing, drinks were also good, service was on point, and it was just a beautiful dinner. We will definitely be coming back.

We arrived around 5:00 or 6:00 in the evening. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday (surprise, surprise), but there were open seats on the patio and at the bar. We chose the patio, and while patio chairs left something to be desired (some bolts need to be tightened or the chairs replaced, one), it was a pleasant night. Our server came out promptly.

The cornbread was more dense than I'd like but the honey butter was delicious. The brussel sprouts lacked flavor and seasoning. The honeynut squash wasn't what I expected and I would've preferred the balsamic glaze over the brussels instead.
