    Burrata app
    Maria T.

    You'll be flying high at Pegasus, named for a Greek mythological stallion with wings! This somewhat intimate restaurant has been in RVA for decades. The first thing we noticed was the sea of silver and gray-haired clientele. So while our kids are in their late 20's, hubby and I fit right in. The next thing we noticed is that is is super loud in there and we were fortunate to get a corner table which helped with the sound! We felt sorry for our frazzled server, Sophia, because she really has her hands full! She was zooming from table to table with plates for of food and she seemed quite overwhelmed, although she was extremely apologetic and pleasant. They need more wait staff to accommodate their customers properly. She missed some of our drink orders, was slow bringing our our bread basket and a few other things, but did the best she could. For this reason I almost gave this spot a 3, but the food took it up a notch. The authentic Greek cuisine was on the money. They also had some Italian options. A burrata dish was chosen for our appetizer which was a mound of mozzarella with tomato and spices. Most of the entrées came with soup or salad choices. I opted for the avgolemono soup which was mildly lemony with chunks of chicken; it tasted homemade! The salads came out and they were pretty small-sized portions but adequate since the main courses were fairly hefty! I chose the rosemary chicken which came with Greek-style green beans and a light rice pilaf, plus I ordered a small side of fettuccine. The rosemary chicken was incredibly tender and the garlicky sauce was superb! The fettuccine Alfredo was delish too, not swimming in a cream sauce like many other places, but delicately coated so you could really taste the flavor of the cheese and the noodles! Other dishes ordered were eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, and Mediterranean shrimp. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. We shared a tiramisu for dessert which was light and tasty. The prices were reasonable and even though the service was a bit chaotic, we still had a nice evening! I'd like to try it on a week night when it's not so busy. Bottom line: I wouldn't "myth" a chance to give this restaurant a go!!

    I normally keep my reviews pretty positive, but yeah, Pegasus Restaurant does not deserve the positivity. Decent-ish food, pretty awful service. It became apparently clear to me & my friend as we finished our bottle of wine before we ever got to place our food order: if you're not a regular at the Pegasus Restaurant, you may as well not bother. When we finally got to order, we were informed the kitchen had no crabmeat so two of our options were out. In addition to that, our waitress never addressed that she'd be gone for 20 plus minutes without checking on us, and this was before we ever had our entrees. By the time we actually got food, neither of us wanted to be there, as we had filled up on wine & rolls out of necessity. The salads were measly and overdressed. The Grecian Spaghetti had no flavor other than olive oil. Lastly, our waitress brought the check without returning the credit card, because she had lost it... they spent a good few minutes searching around for it before they came clean and told us. Won't be back. Wouldn't recommend you waste your time either.

    Four of us went here to celebrate our sons birthday. None of us had been there and wanted to give this place a try. It is a fairly small location tucked away in a strip mall type set up on Patterson. There is a small parking lot in front of the store and we had no issue parking there. Two of us got there early so we had a drink at the small bar area. The bartender was a nice guy. They had a fairly large liquor selection, a decent wine list for options and canned/bottled beer. No beer on draft. The house Merlot was quite good. Our waitress was a nice lady but getting to order took a while. We were seated with drinks and an appetizer before we got her back to order entrees. The greek sampler is a good thing to try. For main courses, two had baked ziti which they both said was very good. There was a fettucine alfredo ordered and I had the special of grilled swordfish. Unfortunately, the swordfish was not very warm when it came out... It was a little bland as well. Overall, it was a good experience and we may go back again for the Ziti. Ki

    My best friend and I wanted to try a new place, we picked out two, flipped a coin, and let it decide which we went to. The original choice does not have dining and is take out only, so we went with Pegasus. Pegasus is a family owned establishment that is VERY well decorated and is obviously a great place for a date. Our waitress was friendly and informative, and had tried many dishes. I took her recommendation for the Rosemary Chicken, which I instantly loved from first bite. My friend got spaghetti with meat sauce but requested they use penne. They clearly fulfilled this, evidenced by the photos. They have this amazing ice cream there that's a combo of chocolate, strawberry, and pistachios. It sounded like nothing I would like, but we tried it and it's AMAZING. The only bad thing I can think of is the sides that came with my meal seemed like an afterthought compared to the main dish. I chose to forsake them after trying a little of each (Seasoned rice and green beans with tomatoes), and just personally didn't find them to be my cup of tea. EVERYTHING ELSE was on point. Go eat here, explore the menu, and sit back and drink in the atmosphere--you won't regret choosing this muse.

    The fall weather really put me in the mood for something hearty, so my boyfriend and I decided to grab takeout from Pegasus. Ordering it was quick and easy, picking it up was super simple, and the food was delicious. The portions of the baked ziti were so big that we could have just split one, but it was nice to have lots of leftovers over the next week. We will definitely be back the next time we are the mood for ziti!

    I can see why everyone raves about Stella's. The ambiance was mesmerizing starting from the outside…read morewith the classic cars parked out front. If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.

The Huguenot location used to be my spot, but since I moved, this one is now closer. I didn't mind the switch, I figured it'd be nice to try a different location. I've been here twice so far. The place itself is nice, parking can be a little tight but not a big deal. I also like that they have a rooftop area (haven't gone up there yet since it's always cold when I visit). Now, the reason for this review, I stopped by yesterday with a friend, and our total came to almost $40 for just two bowls and one bag of pita chips (no drinks!). We noticed the portions of rice, chicken, and other toppings were smaller than usual. When we asked for just a little bit more, the staff member said it would be extra charge, and he meant it! We ended up paying way more than what I typically spend at other CAVA locations ($25 for two people). I'm not trying to be cheap, but it doesn't feel fair to serve such small portions and then charge extra when customers ask for a little more. I still love CAVA and the food is good but I might be limiting the amount of time I go there.

I especially love their creativity with the menu - the specials are always something new and delicious, and the main apps (who knew strawberry pesto was a thing?) and entrees never disappoint.

It was a milk custard wrapped in phyllo that was baked and soaked in honey. The baklava was fine as well. Texture was good and not too sweet. The men's room was very clean and smelled so pleasant.
