    Green beans
    Laura W.

    This place was so off my radar but after we finally made it... it needs a shining beacon summoning Richmond. One of the best happy hours around Mon-Thurs, in the bar. Service is wonderful. From greet to seat and everything in between, we had an amazing time. It was our anniversary (and they gave us a slice of basal cake, so delicious). we wanted to try the Thursday happy hour special. For $12 we got a beer and a huge delicious (perfectly seasoned) chicken sandwich with fries!What a deal!! We tried the tempura green beans too. Awesome. We can't wait to come back. The regular menu changes with the chef and I look forward to trying it. Amazing quality and service.

    Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! That is all I can write after the delicious meal at my favorite spot in Richmond! The service is impeccable as always...ready but not in your face. The ambience is upscale but not too over the top. And, the food is skillfully prepared by Chef David and his team. Presentation is always great; it's the taste though that lets you know you are in for a real treat at first bite! It is easy to see why Chef David was named Best Chef by the Richmond Times Dispatch in 2024 and Chef of the Year by the Virginia Restaurant Lodging And Travel Association in 2025! This is the perfect date-place or where you want to celebrate that special occasion.

    Superb scratch kitchen in Midlothian. Delicious courses, original cocktails, incredible bourbon list. Get reservations and spoil yourself.

    Papardelle with Bolognese and burrata

    A hidden gem in a little strip mall, this definitely feels like a place to go to celebrate. My mother and I were delighted by every dish (and demolished the bread and honey butter of course) and enjoyed both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options. The service was excellent and very pleasant as well. This particular venture we shared the salmon egg roll (perfectly cooked with a lovely crunch on the outside and balanced well with the smooth acid of the avocado and citrus), the pork belly (the lone issue the whole evening - delicious and beautifully cooked but difficult to cut even with my steak knife), the papardelle with a smooth meaty Bolognese, and the absolutely splendid duck. The raspberry and coconut desserts were lovely as well, but I think the raspberry made it for best of the two. Absolutely worth a return trip.

    It didn't start out well Waiting in table sat down at bar and they completely ignored us for 15 minutes Then our table was ready so moved to table with no tab at bar obviously Service otherwise was good and my appetizer pork belly was very good (along with the broccoli that came with it) I had the rockfish for dinner with lobster sauce and terrific Honestly if not for the bar experience it could have gotten 5 star Maybe a little to busy to care what my experience was as they seem very popular That usually turns me off for a revisit

    Very good food with excellent service. Seasonal soup (Cream of zucchini) and rockfish entree were the best. Nice ambiance. Will return.

    Food is so so and very pricey. Been at least five times; mediocre meals sometimes served cold. Will not return.

    We noticed our server simultaneously bartending and the owner, Chef David Dunlap, seating tables and even getting drinks started.

    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!
