A well executed plate of nachos: crisp base, melted cheese, and portioned for communal snacking. The crab dip, though, tasted like tinned fish under a blanket of melty cheese. Wings were fine.

It's a beautiful Sunday in RVA to meet for brunch. I made reservations for 2 online and tried…read morecalling to confirm but wasn't able to reach anyone. There is a small parking area on the side of the building so be prepared to find off street parking. I arrived and there was a large birthday party of 25 waiting to be seated. I was told upon arrival there was no dining table available but only seats at the bar. I was told that even though I made reservations it wasn't going to be honored due to the large party was about to be seated in the dining table area. I couldn't sit at the bar due to the person with me had a handicap and I didn't want to embarrass them. We left disappointed and our brunch idea crushed.

We had an absolutely delicious brunch trying the French toast platter, chicken and waffles and the specialty omelet loaded with shrimp! Everything was cooked perfectly and the bacon was the perfect crunch and the Home fries were tasty. The servers were great as well... strangely they had no milk for their coffee and only had heavy whipping cream so I passed...condiments were sparse (ketchup and syrup) however the dishes are so well prepared they were not needed!!! They had R&B playing which gave the place a nice vibe! Highly recommend a visit next time you're on Broad St. in RIC

Living up to its name, we literally ran into people we knew at this local restaurant ! "Norm" from Cheers would definitely be sitting at the bar here! The atmosphere was simple, maybe could kick the decor up a notch, but it was perfectly comfortable. Our server was prompt and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable!

The Quirk Hotel is known for its all around pink decor that's elegant. Their happy hour is from 4-6pm. For dinner, I was between the bolognese and steak frites. I asked my waitress and she said if I'm really hungry to go with the steak frites, so I did the steak frites which were cooked medium. They give you a PILE of fries which were delicious. The steak came out a bit cold which I was bummed about but I was so hungry I still ate it all. The sauce is delicious. My waitress was very kind and attentive. Would eat here again for sure! My meal plus a diet coke was $36

I had the braised beef short ribs, which were melt-in-your -mouth. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted root veg, and some of the best collard greens I've ever had. He had the fried chicken with hot honey, garlic mashed potatoes, and more collard greens. That fried chicken was so crispy and delicious. Had the peach cobbler bread pudding for dessert, and it was an EXPERIENCE. The only thing that would have made the meal better was some of the slab bacon, but we'll know to come for breakfast or lunch for that next time!

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.

Our waiter was also actually quite patient (there was a bit of a wait until my friends got there; I'm sorry!). They had a dj the morning I was there, and I really liked the vibe. Their menu have more than enough options for brunch and drinks. I hope they extend their menu for more lunch items than brunch/breakfast items though! Once everyone was there, we finally ordered! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the side of Lulu's house potatoes and a pomegranate mule. The pomegranate mule was quite strong, and I enjoyed it so much I ordered another one. LOL. The bacon cheeseburger was exactly as I requested. I have no notes. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

To start the food here was relatively good…read more The Chicken & Biscuit was quite tasty itself - the eggs were cooked well tastes great- the potatoes... The potatoes are a no everyone agreed the potatoes are too seasoned had this unnecessary spice to them and lacks flavor at the same time - we were not fan, another table recommended we not get the potatoes or ask for them to be a more crispy to disguise the spice. Even took it home and crisped it more, long story short the potatoes are not going to be that lightly salted flavor you'd expect, just over seasoned. The sausage gravy tasted great. The biscuit is absolute perfection! (10 out of 10 for Biscuit and Chicken) (3 out of 10 for potatoes) (9 out of 10 for eggs) Unfortunately as far as the Red Velvet waffles they are most likely waffles with red food coloring - tasted nothing like red velvet. (4 out of 10 for the waffles) The French Toast was okay- the strawberry puree was delicious. (3 out of 10 for French toast) The music in here is a vibe loved the selection - kept my group grooving. Not sure if they are always packed but there was a festival going on outside. They squeezed 7 of us at a 6 top booth. It was tight but worked. Also this location is not very spacious keep that in mind. Our server started off pretty good until the end. She was very loud- louder than the music. No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly. Left a sour taste in our mouth as this was not the most professional route to inform a guest of something of that nature. Then proceed to give an attitude upon being compensated .. The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.
