    Soshel Bistro is Black owned and Black staffed as well. When we first walked in, I couldn't help but notice how bright and open it was. The decor is modern and the DJ was playing all my favorite trap classics. It was Saturday night so that was the vibe y'all. We ordered some refreshing cocktails and delicious food. My friend had jerk chicken with rice & peas and I had the seafood platter with fried fish, shrimp and hush puppies. It was delicious! They get down in the kitchen! They offer hookah so we partook in some. SoShel is very inviting y'all! I took a stroll because the wall murals in each room were very eye-catching and super dope! The service was great and I can't say enough about the delicious food we had! Petersburg has a new spot that's worth the visit and supporting again and again. Their brunch is really good as well. Make sure to follow them on Instagram or facebook to stay updated on offerings and events. Go check it out y'all!

    3 stars only because of the food. The atmosphere is very nice. A great place to just sit at the bar and listen to good music or get up and dance. Bartenders were really attentive and nice. The drinks are fairly priced and good, but the curry chicken was a bit sad. The curry chicken wasn't authentic tasting, it was extremely bland and dry. I'm not use to it being served as cut up chicken breast opposed to pieces of chicken. The rice also lacked flavor which was very disappointing because the aroma in the kitchens smells amazing but the food had no flavor. Will definitely return for the drinks and try the wings next time.

    Hubs and I stopped by here around 12:45 on a weekday because this place looked awesome. Shawarma on…read morethe south side of Richmond? Yes please! There is a pretty small public parking lot directly across the street, and it was full, so I'm not 100% sure if we parked in the public parking or the parking lot of the glass shop next-door since there weren't really any signs. I really hate parking in the middle of any town, but it wasn't too bad. But I'm still not sure if we could've gotten a ticket or not. You seat yourself in this really awesome classic rock themed restaurant. The decor is great, a perfect mix of interesting things to look at, without being super claustrophobic-ly overwhelming. It is really cute. We took a minute to look over the menu, and decided on the house cut chips appetizer, and both a beef and chicken Shawarma for us to try both. The beef Shawarma was delicious. I really like the seasoning that they use on their meat or sauce or something. I never could place what it was or where it was, but the flavor is just heavenly. A little sweet, a little savory and delicious. The fresh pickled veggies were also amazing. They were still crisp with that snap that you really want with pickled foods. Chicken Shawarma was definitely my favorite since it had slightly different pickled vegetables. They were both good, but the chicken was definitely my favorite by just a touch. The bread was a little hard and chewy for my likings, it definitely stood up to the creamy sauce and the juicy pickled vegetables, but it almost hurt my teeth if you just had a dry spot that hadn't been soaking in some form of liquid. The house cut chips are just OK, nothing special by themselves, but that trio of dipping sauces was amazing. We were dipping our fries into it because we liked those a little better than the chips, but we ate almost every drop of that sauce trying to figure out which one was our favorite. one of the hot sauces is blueberry and very sweet with a mild spice, one is I think mango and not spicy initially, but when you swallowed, you definitely felt it burn in the back of your throat. It was a nice sneaky heat, which I love. And the third dipping sauce, we could not place, but we literally could not figure out which one we loved the most. They have a patio outside with lots of tables, but we did not go out there. It looks cute in the pictures though. The downside, is that while the service was very great, if you catch them out a bad time, they don't yet seem to be able to handle huge amounts of orders. They've only been open for about two months, I think, so that will come in time. It seems that they only have one guy cooking in the back, so we were unluckily there at the same time as a table of eight people. If we had all the time in the world, I could have sat and stared at the decor for ages. But unfortunately, if you are on a lunch break or have to be somewhere, they could potentially be so backed up it takes quite a while to actually get your food. It was a rare and random set of circumstances, and probably does not happen often, and she generously comped our chips which was not necessary but was very appreciated. The service here is absolutely top-notch. We will definitely be back for more of that delicious Shawarma. Definitely earlier in the day though, so we can sit as long as we want.

    Service was good and atmosphere nice. I really hope they make it…read more That being said, went for lunch, twice. Might be that Lebanese food is not my thing. I found the chicken pita/wrap dry and bland. The burger way too large, overcooked and dry. I'll admit, I'm a saucy person and like lots of flavors and textures, which I didn't find in my couple of visits. The fried cauliflower was tasty, but wish the pitas accompanying them were warm, or at least not cold.

This place does inspire me to branch out from my normal choice though. The sailor is delicious, the French dip is great, the Cuban is great, the barbecue chicken is so delicious.

Interior (8/10) - The inside looks good but the chairs at the glass tables were a little too tight for me so I decided to sit at the bar which was a good choice. The chairs at the bar felt a little wobbly but I didn't mind. I sometimes drive past this place during the night and it's always packed so I guess it's best for a post work visit. Service (8/10) - The staff were extremely friendly and on top of things and it's a local restaurant so I not going to complain. Food (9/10) - and now for the main attraction, the food tastes pretty good. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich and it was seasoned and savory. My friend ordered mozzarella sticks and they were the best mozzarella sticks I've had so far, crisped and cheesy to perfection. And the crab dip was pretty decent, too creamy and juicy to my taste (No Diddy). Overall, this place doesn't come off as a place for dinner for me but it's the perfect place for Lunch. 8.5/10

The decor was absolutely breathtaking. The space itself is HUGE. There is ample space for large groups, as well as, space to accommodate special events. I literally could not get enough of just looking at the Beauty & Majesty of the restaurant. Once we were seated, our server Steve was courteous, attentive & knowledgeable about menu options. We ordered the She Crab & Mushroom soups as appetizers, as well as, the Oysters Rockefeller. Our soups were bursting with flavor & very fulfilling. Both soups were seasoned perfectly. The Oysters Rockefeller were ample in size & earthy in flavor. They were not the best both my daughter & I had tasted but they were also not the worst either. As our entrees, we ordered the Baked Sicilian Spaghetti & the Seafood Pasta with vodka sauce. Both dishes were absolutely delicious & the portion sizes were substantial. We definitely had leftovers. Although this was my first visit to this establishment, I literally cannot wait to return. It was the perfect location for a peaceful& fulfilling lunchtime dining experience. I highly recommend trying Maria's Old Town 21, you WILL NOT be disappointed ‍

We were seated promptly upon my arrival. The waiter was kind but was busy due to having a table of 20 that she was attending to. She promptly gave us refills throughout our experience. I ordered appetizers for the table, which included calamari and fried mozzarella balls. I found the calamari disappointing and wouldn't order it again, but the Mozzarella balls were delicious and I would recommend them. I then ordered Atlantic Salmon with mashed potatoes. The salmon was ok; it was seasoned and flavored very well, but it was nothing to write home about. However, I enjoyed the mashed potatoes. Overall, the food that was ordered by everyone else in my party looked delicious, and they seemed satisfied. We ordered the lava cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert, which was really good. I enjoyed the live Jazz music that was playing. I would give this experience a 3/5, but I think it's due to the food I ordered, as the rest of my party seemed thoroughly satisfied.

It is spacious with lots of natural light (if you eat during the day). We ended up being one of two tables because we came at an odd time. There was only one person working front of house, Melissa, and it looked like she was bartender, hostess and server while we were there. Despite that she did a great job. She was gracious, attentive and even pulled out my chair for me. She knew about the building's history and seemed to take genuine pride. So if that is an indication of what the service is like all the time then A++. Food was decent, not mind-blowing. But I thought the quality was there. Ingredients were fresh. Prices were high end for the area but reasonable for the preparation and presentation. Food was well prepared. My only real complaint is my fried okra kept sliding out of its batter.

When we went, only the bar area was open, but there were tables in that section and we were able to sit comfortably as a family of four. Our waitress was really sweet and personable, which always makes a difference--especially when you're traveling with kids. The food was delicious. I ordered the smash burger, my husband had the salmon, and both were excellent. The kids ordered from the kids' menu--chicken tenders and a burger--and everything came with fries. We also ordered the sweet potato fries and those were a standout--definitely recommend them. Overall, it was a great stop during our trip with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our experience at Shirley's.
