    Okay this place deserves so much love! The portions were huge at a great price! I have leftovers and then some. I love this spot and how authentic everyone is inside. Very kind and treat you well. I'm coming back for sure!

    So this is the 2nd time I've been to La Fuente. 1st time I did not take any pictures. I love this place. The food is always good, they have awesome guacamole and the drinks are balanced. I love their cucumber margarita, it tastes so fresh! And if you ask for their drinks spicy they do not disappoint. 1st time I got tacos carnitas and they were so good. This time I got the enchiladas and a mushrooms quesadilla. It was all tasty. The place has a nice chill, family owned atmosphere. And I would definitely recommend.

    The food is BANGING! I highly recommend the scallop and shrimp burrito! I visited here since it's close to my home.

    Charred is one of my new favorite spots! Restaurant is open, clean, and not too loud. Our waitress…read moreAbby was so attentive, and since we haven't been there before she educated us about the menu and gave us some recommendations. Since it is our first time, she passed it on to the kitchen manager kyndell, who kindly brought us the palmetto chicken sliders. They were savory and sweet and amazing! The Bri appetizer was delicious as well, with crunchy bread to serve with. On to the lunch : both got the smash burgers, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. Regular fries were seasoned to perfection, and crunchy. Sweet potato fries were waffle and dusted with a little sugar. Both were great! Burger was crispy and you can tell it was a quality meat. House sauce was good as well! Dessert: we got the bacon wrapped dates which was the star of the show. Such a creative concept, came with goat cheese and honey! They were amazing, and I could have had 10 more. The flavors paired perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, Abby and kyndall really made our time special. We will be back to try the pizza and other apps!

    This was our first visit to Charred and will quickly say we had a nice meal. Now I will say that…read moreI've round up my overall star rating. If I could I would have given it 4 1/2 stars, because it was good but not great but definitely well enough not to drop it to a 4. Let's start with the location: very nice and everything seems real clean and cared for. Even the men's room was decent at 6:00 pm at night. Now our server: Sidney was very attentive to us. She took very good care of us during our stay. Now the meal: Again it was good. The wifey had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. She tells me the sauce had a nice flavor but the chicken really had no flavor. Certainly not a Blackened flavor you would expect. The chicken itself was good and tender. As for me I had Shrimp and Grits. It also was good. It had onions and peppers in it and again the flavor of the onions and peppers just want there. Who knows. We also had the Brick Oven Brie. There was a really nice amount of Brie. So much that the toasted bread ran out way before the Brie. So as I said this was a good place and meal despite my small hits in this review. I firmly recommend this place because I do expect you to have a nice meal. Ps. To the owners: your link to your website doesn't work via Yelp. To potential customers: you will have to go your search engine and find the Charred site.

    I've been here twice and the two visits were sooo different. The place is very cute inside. First…read moretime was great! The waitress was nice, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was good. The margarita was amazing. I talked about coming back for weeks-especially for that margarita. Around Mother's Day, I brought my mom and grandma here cause I thought they'd love it. Wrong. Despite not being busy, the service was practically non existent. The chicken bao buns were hard, flavorless and dry. So was the chicken my husband ordered.My drink wasn't good. The food took a while to come out. Burgers didn't come out at the temperature requested. Burgers and fries were also pretty salty. Super unfortunate this was such a bad time the second time around. I was planning on adding them to my rotation since I'm near by all the time.

    I was invited here for a birthday dinner with 4 other people. It was our first time here. I like…read morethe location, it is easy to get to and lots of parking space. We thought this was a steakhouse and we were under the impression that it was going to be fancy/upscale, business attire type of restaurant. The menu was on a sheet of paper, looks kinda cheap. I do like how bright it looks inside, the decor is nice. I got steak, filet, it was okay, it was $40 with one side. I should have gotten the bone in NY strip. Their mash potatoes and Mac and cheese was the best. Collard green too also very good. Everyone was pretty much happy with their food. I tried the smoked half chicken, it was pretty flavorful. Our waiter was nice and attentive. He explained the menu very well to us and helped us make our choices. I would like to go back and try other things on the menu.

    Loved the ambiance of this location of Ruth's Chris! Was very excited for the experience at this…read morelocation compared to others, as it's in an old plantation home. Very intimate setting, and hostess was welcoming. Service, however, was extremely disappointing. We were greeted initially, but as the night went on, the service went downhill. My husband asked for lemons for his water a total of 4 times, and we finally received them AFTER we had finished our meal. His water glass also remained empty for 3/4 of our meal, after asking for a refill twice. It still took 10 minutes to get him water. I had a Coke - never was asked if I wanted a refill. Food was disappointing. I ordered the filet cooked medium, and it came back black and blue. My husband ordered the cowboy ribeye cooked medium rare +, and it came back almost raw. We both sent them back, and had to repeat this process over again, as mine was still black and blue. They cooked my same filet 3 times, so it came back nearly in pieces and the outside was completely charred. Very disappointed in management also. We have dined at many nice steak houses, and even several Ruth's Chris locations, and we have never experienced this terrible of service. We are always down to pay extra for a nice meal -- we would never ask for anything to be comped. But a fresh steak after having to send it back twice would've been appreciated. We eventually decided on no dessert, we just wanted to leave. So we ask for the check, and it took at least 20 minutes to receive that. Meanwhile, our server is serving drinks to several surrounding tables. This was overall a terrible experience. We will not be returning. This is my first review on yelp, as I and my husband are not ones to complain about restaurants. But seeing we just spent a pretty penny for VERY disappointing service and food, wanted to save someone else the trouble.

    Ruth's Chris is easily one of my favorite steakhouses in Richmond. Yes, it's on the pricier side,…read morebut unlike some upscale restaurants, I actually feel like the quality matches the price. I don't always order steak here because their stuffed chicken is so good. It's one of my favorite dishes on the menu. I'm also a huge fan of the mac and cheese, and honestly, I've yet to order anything that disappointed me. If you do go for a steak, it's usually seasoned well, flavorful, and cooked correctly. The drinks are another reason I keep coming back. Their bartenders know what they're doing, and every cocktail I've tried has been excellent. At this point, I'm officially becoming a regular. One of my favorite times to visit is during happy hour. The prices are more affordable, and I'll usually order a Caesar salad, mac and cheese, and a cocktail. It's one of the best happy hour spots if you're looking for a more upscale experience without paying full dinner prices. The atmosphere is exactly what I want from a steakhouse. It has the feel of a classic luxury hotel with warm lighting, comfortable seating, and enough space between the tables that you don't feel like you're dining with the people next to you. The service is consistently excellent, the location is convenient, and the overall experience always feels polished. Overall, I'd give Ruth's Chris a 9.5/10. Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and an atmosphere that keeps me coming back. It's one of the few restaurants in Richmond where I know I'm going to leave happy every time.
