    Such a great girls day seeing "The Cottage" starring my BILs cousin, Becca Blacksten! Great job!!

    What a nice, cozy little theatre!! Loved the quaint atmosphere! Definitely worth the experience!!

    We attended a pop up bar/show called Shipwreck Saloon here this past weekend. We weren't sure what to expect but you always have a vision in your head. Well, it was nothing like the vision I had and when it began, I thought I would be disappointed but I am glad to say I wasn't. It was a simple stage and the best way to describe it is a 4 part story telling about the life of a pirate who opened Shipwreck Saloon. It was entertaining and funny and there was some hilarious audience participation. In between the 4 parts, a different rum cocktail was served which were good. I would recommend this show if you find it in your area. It was something different for an evening out and was entertaining!

    We recently held a gala of about 120ish people for a small non profit. The staff were helpful and kind. The food was hot and delicious. We needed in a little early and it wasn't an inconvenience. We requested coffee service late notice and were met with wonderful professionalism and help! Shout out to Krissy & her staff. Thank you Hanover Tavern for being so lovely! We would definitely use this venue again. --Millie's Home

    A fun night out to see a show in the theater and have dinner. So nice you can do both here. The food was really good and we love the small intimate nature of the theater. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Limited parking in the lot for a busy night but plenty of parking across the street. Well made cocktails as well.

    Very cool ambiance and I enjoyed learning some of the history. The food was fantastic. I had the oyster Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. Service is very slow, but we also had a big party on a busy Sunday brunch timeframe. The server was very nice, but just not necessarily in a hurry. I loved learning some of the history of the building. They were hosting a bridal show later that day, so they were just beginning to set up for that, as well. There were lots of things on the menu that looked absolutely delicious. Pricing was reasonable, if not a little expensive, but the quality of the food was top notch. Everyone in my party was satisfied with their meals.

    We stumbled upon this place looking for a good sit down brunch spot. We have been back several times and have never been disappointed.

Only street parking is available, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The atmosphere: Very rustic vibe with some farmhouse-style decor. They have table, high-top, bar, and patio seating available. The food: I opted for the Chicken and Waffles with a side of cheese grits. I chose to make it hot for more spice. It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

    So while in Virginia, hubby and I decided to drive to Richmond to see the Black History Museum &…read moreCultural Center. Afterwards we went looking for some food!! Someone suggested a place called Mama J's but after reading the summary of reviews I decided to see if there was another place. And I came across Southern Kitchen and boy was I glad that I did!! This black owned restaurant was an excellent experience for hubby and I!!! But let me back up,,.when searching for another spot online...the visual esthetics of the menu caught my attention first!! I saw a crisp clean menu in white, green and black. It was easy to read, had everything laid out and dunno...maybe it appealed to my OCD with how organized it was but I liked it! And then the FOOD on the menu I told hubby..."no debate! We are going to Southern Kitchen"!! When we arrived we pulled up at a mall...at first we thought we were at the wrong place but when we turned the corner and saw the black and white awning...I said THERE IT IS!!! Lol!! We walked in and my heart said aaaaahhhhhhh!!!' it was beautifully decorated in...you guessed it black, white and green!! It matched the online menu....so cool!! The staff was courteous! The food was exceptional! And the music was SUCH a vibe!!! They have a bar area with high top tables, they have a dining area with tables and booths. They can accommodate small and large parties. They have a HUGE kitchen and they are very well staffed so our food didn't take long to get to us. Hubby ordered meatloaf, Mac n cheese, cabbage and sweet potatoes. I ordered salmon patties, collard greens and black eyed peas. Our server Nigela was so sweet! She took very good care of us and even chatted with us and told us that her grandmother was from SC (where we are from) I would definitely recommend this spot! Food was 10 out of 10! The sweet tea was that good "diabetical" tea and we got a cornbread basket...the portions were enough for me to take half of my plate with me because I was FULL!' Whenever I'm in Richmond again ...I will be back!! P.S. they have gluten free options but I was bad today...

    What an experience!! I absolutely love this restaurant. Saturday was my very first time visiting…read moreand I will be back. The food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I ordered the turkey wings with collard greens and candied yams. The turkey wings were so tender and flavorful along with the collard greens. We also ordered fried pickles. They were very light, large, and well seasoned. They did not require any additional sauce really. My friends ordered meatloaf and Cajun pasta. Those items were delicious as well. The service was freaking impeccable. Our waiter was soooo polite, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable on the menu. He allowed us to take our time ordering and made great suggestions. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating as well. The ambiance was amazing. The establishment was very clean, neat, and decorated very well. The establishment was fairly large however, it felt very cozy, and homey. I enjoyed our experience so much. Next time I am in Richmond this will be the first place I go to eat. I highly recommend if you are in the area. Cheers!

    Farm and Oak has been on my list and I finally made it!…read more My husband and I wanted to have lunch out and picked Farm and Oak because we haven't visited this restaurant. They have a very limited menu at lunch so you have a few appetizers to choose from, a few salads and sandwiches and burgers, so straight up American food. It does skew southern with crab cake sandwich, pimento cheese and fried chicken. For an appetizer we decided to try the wings. They were good and came with ranch drizzled over the wings. For entrees my husband got their farm & oak burger with Cole slaw and I got their wedge salad with fried chicken. Both were good. The salad was nice and cold and crisp, which was appreciated on such a hot day. It did have too much dressing so next time I might ask for less dressing or have it on the side. I enjoyed the food, service was good and it is a pretty restaurant. I'll probably come back for supper some time to try some of their more in-depth meals.
