All around excellent! We had the soup du jour (butternut squash), vegan orgy on Texas beach, the lobster macaroni and cheese, and the chicken dish. We had the Devil's in the details for desert. It was incredible. Fantastic service as well. Loved this place and definitely recommend! read more

Turns out they don't actually serve Opossum so I found the name to be very misleading, food was fine once I got over the initial disappointment read more

A lovely evening to celebrate a friend's milestone birthday! French food with a southern twist without the French attitude. The menu is a delight to read and you can see they don't take themselves too seriously! Though there is serious attention to the food. Inventive and unique cocktail list. 4 of us each ordered something different and enjoyed them all. For appetizers we had soup( purée of winter root vegetables with creme fraiche), French onion dip, escargot with an amazing ham biscuit full of flavor and the traditional Caesar salad. None disappointed. Entrees included vegetarian options. We had halibut, morrocan chicken in a tagine, filet mignon and a rich and creamy lobster Mac n cheese. Again delicious and unique combination of flavors. Dessert too was outstanding. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. One of the best dining experiences I have had! A truly special place read more

The food is delicious. The service and management is rude enough to never return. We had a perfectly lovely birthday dinner for my husband abruptly ended as we were asked to leave because there was a strict two hour limit on our table. I made this reservation more than a month prior, and no one mentioned it when we sat down. Apparently it was posted on open table (not the restaurant website as they argued) and my fault for not knowing, but we were actually finished our meal and had just ordered a last round, after spending 550 dollars for four people, when we were rudely told to head out. This came after a night of unfriendly service from our waitress. We were fine with the policy just wish they might have reminded us when we sat down or taken any accountability...instead they were insistent on blaming and shaming us and telling the party behind us that we were the ones making them wait...umm unprofessional much. It's an expensive meal, you expect high end service. It was more than a little disappointing in that regard. We won't be returning. read more

Amazing meal, amazing service. There's nothing like it in RVA as far as I've seen. The meals are a bit heavy but everything we had- lamb chops, filet, deviled egg with caviar, coconut cake- was mesmerizingly good. The service was flawlessly attentive and the decor ... is you have to see it to believe it. A fun, fancy, whimsical meal. We will definitely be back! RVA standard: excellent cocktails. A bit pricey but great for date night/ special occasions. read more

It's a no-brainer to give L'Opossum 5 stars, because it is easily the best food in Richmond, and a truly inventive, pleasing dining EXPERIENCE. When you walk in, the decor is the first thing that strikes you: it is almost like walking in to a parallel twilight zone; it's so... unique, I can't even describe it. The lighting is gorgeous and depthy, the tables are ADORABLE and very pretty, and the artwork and decor is just the perfect mix of bizarre, intriguing and beautiful, that the place just generally gives you a feeling like no other restaurant. (It's very difficult to explain, so you'll just have to go see for yourself!) The wait staff is impeccable; you will never have to ask for refills or more bread or dishes, as small dishes come out all the time, they will always come around with a fresh piece of bread (their homemade butter is bonkers!) and the bar is in such a convenient location to the tables, they can keep a good eye on whether you need another drink or not. For my mixed drink (you have to try their drinks! They're inventive, masterfully crafted, but be warned- they are VERY strong!) I had the Hooty Hoo!, which was a White Russian with Yoohoo chocolate drink, xiocatl bitters (intense South American dark chocolate,) nutmeg, an incredibly smooth vodka and a rim of delectable black lava salt. It's hard to compare this to any other White Russian, because it really stands alone with its incredibly unique flavor marriages. L'Opossum does a masterful job of taking very standard gourmet dishes (such as a chicken, a lamb, a steak, etc.) and elevating them to true originality. I had the mesclun salad to start, and the grapefruit/avocado dressing I ended up spooning up (you will spoon up any remaining sauce on any dish, here.) and the spicy goat cheese pate at the base of the salad (which was packaged in a slightly charred, peppered slice of cucumber,) was easily the greatest, most flavorful goat cheese I've ever had. Prepare to dine in for like three hours, here (it's worth it,) as the food is constructed like a fine work of art, and the wait between dishes is pretty extensive, but bring good company and enjoy the atmosphere, and take in the moment and you will have an amazing time! For an entree I had the Coq au Morocco, which was SUPERB! (Which I think is still too light of an adjective to describe this incredibly flavorful, juicy, perfectly, intricately and depthily sauced and seasoned chicken dish, with easily the best cous cous I've eaten, as well as their raita, which was so popping with flavor I've never had in a yogurt sauce before- let's just say, any dish you get, don't expect to have ever tasted these flavors before. I mean, the undertones with just the right amount of harissa gave it a slight salt n' spice kick that lingered in the most pleasant way. It's something completely new, and I was picking every tiny sliver of chicken off the bone, because it was impossible to leave anything behind; the portions are just perfect, here, as well. For dessert, I had the Apple Tarte, which was like an upside-down, dense apple pie, and let me say: PHENOMENAL. Some of the most flavorful, impossible-to-put-down apple anything I've ever had, and the buttermilk creme fraiche mixed with a smooth caramel undertone was nigh-drinkable (spooned the rest of that up, as well!) I have not had food, or a dining experience, or been to a place like this, perhaps ever, and not only will I be back, I can not be back soon enough! This was a very memorable experience and actually very reasonably priced for "gourmet." Everything I had was about $63, which is very good for the quality. Trust me, I can't begin to imagine how you could be disappointed by ANY facet of L'Opossum. Go. Go NOW! You're missing out, otherwise. **I apologize for my picture quality (but you can get the IDEA.) I tried the best I could; the lighting is so odd, it's impossible to get a clear picture. I have no idea how some of the others did it!** read more

This restaurant was amazing!! The ambiance, decor, food and wait staff gave an entire experience.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at L'Opossum last night for a special holiday night out, and it was amazing. You have to make a reservation ahead of time, and in our experience, they can be booked a couple months in advance. The vibe and decor is cheeky but upscale, and feels special. Don had a seasonal cocktail that was on special, sort of a take on an Old Fashioned, that was delicious, and I had a lovely glass of Syrah, although I was a little disappointed they were out of the Malbec by the glass. I ordered the pork belly and scallops, and it was very good, but the winner of the night was the beef "swellington" filet that Don ordered. Hands down one of the best things either of us have ever eaten. It was intoxicating. It put you into a blissful stupor to eat it. Don literally left with a trail of sauce down his chin that we didn't even notice until 20 minutes into cocktails at our next stop. Also top contenders were the escargot (AMAZING) and house-made bread. Highly recommend for a special night out. read more

Food was delicious but atmosphere is very pretentious. The way they describe food on the menu made it very difficult to understand what exactly it was. Don't tell me it's a magical elixer of whatever, just list the ingredients. read more

This is one of the best restaurants I've tried in Richmond. The space is small, so reservations are a must (about a month and a half out). The restaurant has nice ambiance and is decorated in a sort of gaudy upscale manor. It definitely defines Richmond because it's...well...you know what I mean. This was my second time and both times the waitress knew the menu front and back and her descriptions were almost captivating. You can tell the restaurant takes pride in their menu. The menu is the perfect length, giving you options...but not too many and the food is remarkable. The pork belly is amazing and the scallops were cooked to perfection. The lobster mac is quite good and might even rival the lobster mac at Capital Grille. I wasn't a fan of the beans beneath the pork belly, but that can be overlooked. The flambé was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked with a bit of spiciness. Overall, this restaurant is top notch and should definitely be considered for your next evening out. Parking is plenty (a rarity in Richmond) and you will think you're in the wrong place considering it's in a neighbored, but rest assured looks can be deceiving. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since it opened and finally I made it out. Of course I always feel like I'm sinning being that close to Mamma Zu and not eating there, but man, it's worth the guilt. The scene is small and dark with booths down the sides and a row of tables down the middle. The reservations were full so we sat at the bar in the back (good comfortable seats). We weren't the only ones with that idea. For appetizers we got oysters Rockefeller, then went with filet and grouper special mains, followed by apple crisp and chocolate cake desserts. Everything hit. Each dish was well prepared, flavorful, interesting and layered. As soon as you think you've tasted the full extent of the dish you bite into something that takes it to another level. For example, the grouper was bedded on wild rice but included grapes. And the filet garnish seemed to be for looks but apparently Truffled Duxelles & Duck Butter with your filet is AMAZING. The only criticism might be that it was too dark? I mean, I'm really trying to find something but that's all I can conjure up. Go. You'll like it. But get a reservation well in advance. read more

Excellent start for a new restaurant. Service was 5 star...atmosphere - eclectic. Vichyssoise, rack of lamb and tarte tatin are not to be missed. Although new, already had the flow of an established restaurant. read more

The best meal I have ever had. My husband took me here for my 30th birthday and it was a five star experience from start to finish. We had reservations, but arrived a bit early, so we sat at the bar and had a drink. The bartender, Mark, was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the French Tickler; a vodka-based cocktail with Curaçao and Lillet - delicious! My husband got Basil Hayden's on the rocks - the rocks being an ice ball shaped like the Death Star :) The decor and details such as this are incredibly eclectic and playful. It's refreshing to see a restaurant with such elevated food that doesn't take itself too seriously. We were seated at our table by the warm and welcoming host, then greeted by our waiter, Steve. He was super knowledgable about all of the dishes offered, and gave us his honest opinions when we were having a tough time making our choices. Everything looks fantastic on the menu, so narrowing it down to just a few is no easy task. We started with the Chapel Creek Oysters Rock and Summertime...and the Liver is Easy. The oysters were incredibly flavorful and succulent; a much more exciting version of oysters rockefeller finished with a mist of Absinthe at the table. The foie gras was both rich and delicate, served with a sort of succotash on the side and a smoked blackberry mousse. I can't describe how amazing the flavors went together when you make a perfect "bite" with each component on your fork - this dish was super special. For our entrees, we chose the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and the Sweetbreads with Butter Poached Lobster. The crab cakes were anything but ordinary, and "jumbo lump" was an understatement. I'm not even sure how they were able to get them to hold their shape, they are all crab meat! Delicately spiced and served with spinach and a bèarnaise/tartar sauce, we really enjoyed them. The star of the entire night, however, went to the Sweetbreads with Lobster. Talk about decadent...and luscious...and sexy! If you have never tried sweetbreads before (I hadn't), this is the way to do it. A complimentary digestif was brought over to us by the bartender after our meal. I believe it was called the Hooty Hoo - a White Russian made with Yoo-Hoo. Don't think about it, just order it. Right now. We finished the night with Lavender-Limoncello Crème Brûlée and the Tarte Tatin with buttermilk crème frâiche. These are exactly what desserts should be, sweet and decadent! What a perfect ending to a fantastic meal. I cannot say enough about L'Opossum. The food is incredibly thoughtful, unique, and tasty! The atmosphere is casual and unique with really cool artwork, decorative plates, and whimsical lighting. But what really makes the experience there so special is the staff. You can tell that everyone there enjoys what they do and takes pride in their work. We will definitely be visiting again. read more

The food here was delicious and I know why the chef is up for a James Bread award. The beef swellington was tender and duxelles sauce was delicious. My husband had the crab cakes that had no filler- none. Fresh crab which was tasty. The quail was light and well cooked. Cocktails were delicious and I love the special vodka and San pelligrino grapefruit juice. The server was knowledgeable and always right there but not hovering. This dinning experienced rivaled my meal at the Inn at Little Washington. I've already made my next reservation for a weekend and I will be counting the days until April 16th. Yes, it is just that good! read more

Let me start off with this restaurant has been on my Richmond dining bucket list for quite some time, and I am so glad I finally got to eat here. The ambiance is quirky and welcoming. The music made me feel like I was in a rom-com which was neat! For appetizers I ordered the Les Escargots a la Ham Biscuit and the Grilled Caesar Salad. This was the first time eating snails, and I was pleasantly surprised! The escargot has a nice tender texture and the white sauce and balsamic were the perfect combination of flavors. The ham biscuit was also delicious, but it didn't detract from the main protein. The grilled Caesar was an entire romain grilled with Caesar dressing. Such a unique twist on the salad- I really enjoyed the smoky flavor. Overall, I highly recommend these two appetizers. For dinner I ordered the Swanky Mac is Back. This dish was phenomenal! The combination of the (decent sized) poached (fresh!) Maine lobster with the shells and sauce were to die for! I will definitely be going back for this dish again. Overall the dining experience was great! Since I didn't have a reservation, my friend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and answered any questions we had, and made great recommendations. Love this restaurant and will be coming back again! read more

Outstanding plates - every dish was delectable. I wish the bar was a little bigger because you can never get a table. Wish I had the playlist they had on - seriously thinking about it ever since!! read more

Excellently prepared food and cocktails. Everything we had was delicious. My Sazerac was perfectly crafted. My date's Pink Poodle was also a tasty cocktail. The humus starter was small in size. Rack of lamb melted in my mouth. Crab cakes were wonderfully meaty. Apple tartan was gone in seconds. read more

It's an experience, from the funky lanterns to the star wars plates mounted on the wall to the sassy & not quite appropriate menu. Start with a cocktail because they're bizarre & unique. I had a gin & juice special which was gin and juiced ginger - herbacious and aromatic I loved it !!! We got the escargot appetizer that comes on a sweet biscuit with salty Virginia ham & a rich velvety sauce. It was a delicate balance of savory salty and rich that was delicious - that could have been my entree - they did not skimp on the portion size. The best part of my hubs swelling to was the mushroom pastry that arrives on top - textured and flavorful ! The steak was also cooked to perfection. My pork belly & scallops we're large and juxtaposed nicely with a bean base. And hell yeah we ordered the swashbuckling pirate dessert which was laced with drunken fruit and hot buttered rum. From start to finish this was a well curated experience for foodies, drinkers and casual diners alike. Get reservations and try out this Richmond hot spot praised by Southern Living, among other national publications. read more

My bf brought me here for my early bday celebration. He made reservations about a week ahead of time. I mention this because we had attempted to eat there a couple of times before but couldn't get in. It's a little hole in the wall in Oregon Hill. Even though the entrees run $25-30, it really is a pretty casual place. I thought the restaurant was a little dark for my liking, but my bf thought it helped the ambiance. We ate late lunch so we skipped apps and just had drinks and dinner. The bf was impressed with the wine list. (He's a little bit of a wine snob, but I'll drink the box kind!) He got a local ardent beer and I had the honey badger cocktail. The cocktail was so good, but it came in one of the stupidest little glasses. I felt like I was in "Alice and Wonderland." I hate when restaurants do that! I'd rather pay more and have a normal-sized drink. That being said I'd ask for it again but at least I'll be expecting the tiny glass this time. I ordered the filet and the bf got the big-ass lamb shank. I'm not trying to be crude; that's the name of the entree on the menu. We agreed that the lamb was fall off the bone tender and pretty yummy. The filet was outstanding. My bf thought it was one of the best steaks he's had in Richmond...EVER. It was definitely amongst the best for me. Cooked to a perfect med rare. They topped the filet with a port wine reduction which was a perfect match. I'm sorry I didn't take pics. I even thought about it, but, like I mentioned, it was really dark and it would've been really obvious to everyone around me. Maybe next time. There will be a next time for sure! read more

This is hands down the best place to eat in Richmond. The setting, the ambiance, the food, the art. The everything! You walk into Narnia through curtains and are immediately transported to what appears to be a secret club or speak easy of some kind. The lights are dim and the low roar of intellectual chatter teases the senses. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the decor. Greeting you, even before the host, is the statue of David himself in all his resplendent glory, complete with a the namesake southern marsupial sidekick atop his shoulder. You wait on a second hand velvet couch with the finest of hand cross stitched pillows depicting your favorite childhood Flinstones characters. Classy vintage. You are intrigued. You are wearing a suit or fancy evening gown just to admire collector Star Wars plates on the walls and eat well. The menu comes. The staff is relaxed, casual. You pick the local wine because Virginia, duh. You tell yourself you're going to try something different this time, but you know the escargot and filet are your go tos for very good reason and you order them anyways. Dessert is something different. Probably rich and on fire. It is so delicious. It's French cuisine with weird titles like Orgy at Texas Beach. Rique even. Delightful. Your date looks amazing in the low light. The Star Wars plates on the wall dazzle. Everything is the best thing you have ever tasted. There is no rush, like true French dining. You want to come again, but realize reservations go out 3 months because the experience is truly like no other and there is a frenzied scramble to book here and experience it for yourself. read more

L'Opossum is my favorite restaurant, hands down! I have been coming to L'Opossum since it arrived in Oregon Hill. Every single time I dine here, my love for them grows. With exceptional cocktails and a menu full of variety and humor, I always wish I can order everything. Everything I have tried has been remarkable. I've never found another restaurant where I genuinely love each and every bite. The staff is incredible, the atmosphere is eccentric, and the experience unforgettable. I will continue to come here as often as I can for as long as I can. And I know each visit will continue to blow me away! Try as much as you can, and then come back again and try some more. Because you need to experience it all! read more

My wife and I and another couple came here on a Tuesday night with a 6:45 reservation. The tables and bar stools were all filled and there was a good buzz without being too noisy. The restaurant has kitschy but entertaining and interesting decor, with Star Wars collectable plates and unique original artwork on the wall. If you don't like clowns, use the restroom before you come, as the bathrooms have odd clown-focused art on the walls. The waitress was knowledgeable and helpful with us as we made our selections. I had a couple of local beers from their modest list and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her cocktail, the Violet Femme, which had boozy cherries as a treat when she was finished. We split the country ham biscuit and escargots appetizer. It was a cute idea with good flavors, but a little puny on the serving size. For our main course, I had a scallop special with wild rice and mushrooms with an incredible earthy flavored broth. My wife had the New York strip with bacon-wrapped oysters and blue crab meat. It was also very good. One of our table mates had the Hollywood Bone Yard, which was three different kinds of smoked meat (ribs, chicken drumstick, and lamb chop) and I was quite jealous. Though the desserts were tempting, we decided to pass. This is a nice and funky special occasion spot if you are looking for a nice night out splurge. read more

With a name like L'Opossum, I wasn't really sure what to expect with my dine, but I had heard quite a bit of praise for this place. Eagerly checking it out, the restaurant fully lived up to my hopes! Tucked in a corner building in Oregon Hill, stepping in this gem is like stepping into a French-American Grandma's house (I'm not French though so this is at least what I imagine). Whimsical and serious art adorn the walls and the interior is classy but comfortable. A playful attitude permeates the restaurant, not taking the French stenotypes too serious, and is even reflected in the menu copy which is bold, fun, and crafty while still being very descriptive. We arrived a little before our reservation and so grabbed cocktails. The Amaretto sour (yes I know this is not at all French but I felt like one) was very tasty and my friend ordered one of the house cocktails (maybe the Pink Poodle though I don't remember for certain) which was phenomenal. The whole cocktail list looked great! After sitting at our table we scanned the menu over some solid slices of baguette with whipped butter. I started with the French Onion Dip Florentine which was phenomenal. The onions were perfectly caramelized, tasting more like brown sugar than an allium (in the best possible way). My dining companion started with the escargots which were served with a ham biscuit and were both familiarly French and deliciously new. For our mains, my partner got the scallops special which was incredible, all of the mollusks were perfectly cooked. My dish was the Veal Sweetbreads and Butter Poached lobster. Only one word can describe that dish: Divine. Both were cooked perfectly, the lavender grits complemented beautifully and the peas were surprisingly the most delicious preparation of peas I have ever had. Who cares about peas? No one! But apparently this chef did and it was clear, I found myself choosing bites of peas over lobster at times, that's madness! They had a nice wine list to accompany, not overwhelming but comprehensive and both wines we tried were delicious and reasonably priced. After our mains we were stuffed but didn't want the experience to end so we decided on deserts. The creme brûlée, a dish I'm not huge on, was delicious, and the Rum Bunt Pirate cake was phenomenal, leaving me stuffed but not disgusting feeling. We hung around to finish our drinks and weren't the slightest bit rushed. Throughout our visit the dining room was full yet not overcrowded, lively but not obnoxiously loud, it seems they really plan their seat times well around their capacity (as so I'd definitely recommend a reservation). Overall, this was a magical experience for the senses and I can't wait to return. So long as you don't hate delicious food and fun experiences I would definitely recommend checking this out! read more

My wife and I went here because of the good reviews. We order the escargot which was decent but a little bland. We also ordered the French onion dip which was way too sweet. It was like eating sugar with bread. Lastly we ordered the filet mignon which was also very bland. The meat was tender but sauce was too bland for my taste. read more

The menu walks a tightrope of being playful, traditional and inspired. Some selections are advanced traditional dining like egg with caviar and foie gras (best accompaniments I've ever had on foie) but there is also beef wellington on the menu. Some reviewers mention the crazy decor. Framed portraits of Nick Cave and albino possums are decorations I find comforting though they might not be what is expected for most fine diners. It works because of the casual, inclusive and extremely professional service. The server presumed nothing about our table and I'm sure she would make any diner comfortable. Every dish was plated perfectly. Ordered 4 desserts, each was perfect. Picked a couple diplomatic wines from the menu, they were priced like workhorse bottles but tasted like boutique gems. read more

Where to begin! I have been waiting for the right occasion to go to L'Opposum and I was so excited to finally make our reservation. Our experience was impeccable. The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic. Our waitress was super informative about every item that we inquired about on the menu. I could listen to her elaborate descriptions all day. Our food was amazing, as expected, and the drinks were to die for as well. My review of L'Opposum can be best depicted in pictures so I will leave those for you to drool over. Highly recommend for a special occasion. read more

Freaking flawless. It's not very easy to get a reservation here. That's for good reason. Everything was impeccable tonight. The service, food, cocktails... all excellent. I haven't had a meal this impressive since I had a tasting meal at one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Some people take issue with the decor, I think it's unique and interesting. The decorations are even more fascinating after you hear the stories behind them. Do yourself a favor, and try cuisine that isn't afraid to play with convention. Book well in advance or be prepared to wait. read more

After 3 tries we finally got a reservation at L'Oppossum but it was definitely worth it. The winter soup had literally every winter vegetable you can think of with a dollup of creme fresh and was delicious. The bouillabaisse was dense and tasty and the escargots on a ham biscuit was a surprising combo but worth the risk. For entrees the crab cakes are a tried and true winner. The filet mignon was perhaps the best we've ever had. The only disappointment was the lamb chops which were overpoweringly garlicky. For dessert we had La petite morte but I was already in food coma by then so I cannot give a coherent review of it. The waitstaff was super--helpful but not annoyingly overbearing. We had an excellent experience and if we can ever get another reservation we will go back. read more

I love this place so much―I really need to find the time to drop by more often. I came in with a group of friends who were visiting for the weekend. We had the foie gras and venison for appetizers, then I ordered "The Swank Bank" as my main course. All the food was amazing, I think the whole table was dead silent every time a dish came out because we just wanted to focus on each plate. The cocktail menu was great as well―a good amount of variety and the staff was very knowledgeable/friendly when seeking a recommendation. I'll definitely be back soon. read more
