I reached out to The Wooden Spoon after I decided to host a last-minute World Cup watch party and Yvette immediately responded. She was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process seamless. We ordered the meat paella for 15 people, the portion size was unbelievably generous to start, and the flavor was absolutely out of this world. It truly tasted like a trip to Spain. We also ordered the tortilla Española, and it was exquisite! A few of my guests have traveled to Spain, and they kept saying the food took them right back to their travels. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. I honestly can't wait to find another excuse to order from Yvette and The Wooden Spoon again! ------ Español ------ Decidí organizar una fiesta de último minuto para ver el Mundial y me puse en contacto con The Wooden Spoonm. Yvette me respondió casi de inmediato. Fue increíblemente amable! Ordenamos la paella de carne para 15 personas, y la porción fur supergeneros. El sabor estaba de otro mundo. Fue como saborear a España directamente. ¡También probamos la tortilla española que quedó exquisita! Algunos de los invitados han viajado a España y compartieron que la comida los transportó por completo a sus viajes. Ya estoy buscando excusa para volver a pedir de The Wooden Spoon e Yvette! read more

Job well done. Thank you for everything. read more

Booked Chef Yvette for a family reunion dinner of 30 people. Full up menu with multiple tapas, paella mixta, and dessert. Watching the massive pan of rice and seafood cooking was a fascinating. Everything was delicious. Standouts were the pulpo salad, gazpacho, and of course the paella. Chef Yvette also made a special dessert for my wife who has multiple food allergies (at no charge!). Big events can be challenging, but are so much easier when working with a true professional. Everything delivered as promised. read more

We had a group of 18 traveling to Richmond from Michigan for a Thanksgiving field hockey tournament. We checked into our VRBO at 4:00 pm on Thanksgiving day and at 5:00 pm Yvette delivered us a full Thanksgiving dinner spread for our entire group of 18. It was delicious! Ten out of ten! We so appreciate Yvette and her team spending their Thanksgiving cooking for a group of people she doesn't even know! Highly recommend The Wooden Spoon! Courtney read more

Chef Yvette conducted a private Paella cooking experience for my husband, my brother and sister in law and myself. It was a wonderful hands on cooking class. We prepared an Berenjena a la Miel (Eggplant with Honey) as our appetizer, Mixta Paella as our entree and a Tarta de Santiago (Almond Cake) for dessert. Everything was delicious and Chef Yvette is a wealth of knowledge. She is such a patient instructor and she also entertained us with tales of her travel adventures. It was such a fun, unique evening and we would all highly recommend booking a cooking class with Chef Yvette. read more

Chef Yvette prepared two delicious authentic paellas for me this past weekend. The marisco paella was scrumptious and filled with delicious shrimp and mussels. The Domingo paella was for my guests who preferred chicken and pork. Everyone loved the paella and the delicious focaccia bread. Everything from start to finish was easy. I placed the order, indicated when I needed it, and the paella was delivered right on time. My compliments to the chef , and I give her my highest recommendation! read more

Everything from the tapas to a paella was excellent. The paella had a great rice crust so a you know it was authentic. Yvette is very easy to work with, was on time and the tapas and paella was prepared according to our families event time line. A delicious meal and I would highly recommend. read more

Chef Yvette is truly a gem. Professional, warm, and an extraordinary chef. Her food will have your guests talking long after the party ends. We highly recommend! read more

Their bread was delicious!!!! Somehow crisp on outside and soft in the inside, with rosemary flavor! Also loved the honey eggplant tapa! Tasted like chips and it was SO crispy. The paella I really liked, even better than the ones I've tried in Spain, but if I were to come back I really want to try their other tapas!! Plus the interior was super cute, and it felt intimate. By the way if you want paella you need to reserve in advance, but if you walk in you can get their tapas! read more

I had one of the best dining experiences of my life at The Wooden Spoon. This restaurant is located off Paterson near a few other small business. Although small this place is filled with charm. The restaurant has an enchanting warmth and coziness to it that just makes you feel at home. On Saturday nights they make Paella from 5-8 and it's delicious!! I had the pleasure of living in Spain for a few years and could taste the authenticity of my meal. Each bite took me to a sweet memory from many years ago. Oddly enough the owner had family members from the same region in Spain that I lived in. The staff enhanced made my already delicious dinner with their sincerity and great conversations. I chatted with them about my travels and learned about the story of the restaurant. Overall it was a great evening and I cannot wait to come back from breakfast. The employees said their pancakes are the best in RVA!! I cannot wait to taste them. read more

You will flip over the pancakes in the Dad's Breakfast! They are some of the best I've ever had! Thick, fluffy discs of deliciousness! Lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar and with maple syrup and an incredible berry compote on the side!! Magical! (They have a secret that makes the pancakes so full of fluffiness, and they let me in on it... but you have to go try them first!) But that's not all folks, this breakfast also comes with two organic eggs, meaty bacon, or other protein choice, and house potatoes! They should really call this the Farmer's Breakfast, because we mom's love it too!! And don't forget to order a mimosa or a mom-mosa for brunch!! My previous reviews describe the other amazing menu choices at this shabby chic restaurant. We are becoming regulars here, because the service and food is always superb! I added a star because my last few visits have been perfect and Carlos, our server, is so personable and greets us by name! This is my new fav breakfast spot... I'm going to eat my way through their spectacular menu!! read more

I stopped into the Wooden Spoon last month for lunch for the first time. All I can say is that it won't be my last visit. There was one server and one chef handling all diners and take-out orders. And they were hustling! We had to wait a pretty long time, but the little cafe has such a calming and welcoming vibe that we didn't mind much. I started with a latte, which was delicious. For my meal, I was a little startled by the $17 price tag but still opted for the Bocata Iberico sandwich. The description sounded too good to pass up. It arrived open-faced with Spanish ham and manchego cheese (love!) on crusty bread rubbed in olive oil. Oh my goodness. What an elegant sandwich. The salad it came with was also quite tasty. There are lots of other dishes I'd love to try, so I'll need to return sometime soon. Highly recommend this cafe. read more

This place is very charming and serves quality food and wine. The menu is authentic and well thought out. The ingredients are definitely fresh. The downside is that the website is a little contradictory in that it reads "by reservation only" and right below enthusiastically states, "walkins welcome!" Turns out you need a reservation to order paella or other main entre, which I assume they have even though I didn't have access to the main course menu. You can only order tapas without a reservation. The tapas were just as I remembered them in Spain. However, they were expensive for what they were. A tortilla (potatoes, onions, and eggs) was $18 and a small bowl of patatas bravas (fried potatoes with mayo-based sauce) was $16. I would like to return in the future, with a reservation, to try the paella. read more

Finally got to try the Wooden Spoon after going to Spain for the first time. I've been missing paella so much. If you want good paella, check this place out. I also miss all the fresh seafood in Spain. The shrimp and the salmon were so good here. I love the garlic flavor of the shrimp. The presentation was lovely. I love the board the salmon came on and the zucchini as the side was to die for. I wish I got more!! Make sure to save room for the chocolate mousse... it's a MUST. I'm not usually a chocolate fan, but I could eat this whole thing by myself. The rosemary martini was an amazing cocktail. If you're drinking, you need to try it. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant! read more

You don't want to miss out on this little hidden gem!! I took my wife here for her birthday. We made reservations. Ordered our Seafood paella in advance for proper preparation. Yummy 10x!! The bread was sooo fresh and toasted just right, it came with olive oil/balsamic that was so fabulous. Dinner was spot on!! We ordered the blackberry mojito and blackberry and basil whiskey smash and they were awesome as well. They also have a great selection of wines. OMG!! Don't get me started on the dessert. Fruit cake infused with Rum and Bourbon with Chocolate sauce. This is definitely not your traditional fruit cake that your grandma bake for the holidays. It was superb! Moist and the fruit was sweet and this chocolate sauce paired well it. I recommend you order this dessert. The staff was exceptional, very personable, and super nice. The owner came out to speak with us. Did i mention its woman owed?! I highly recommend this little hidden gem. Don't miss out on this wonderful spot!! read more

The Wooden Spoon - Seafood Paella. - Caterers Near Me

Husband and I wandered in here on a Wednesday evening when we were in Libbie area of RVA and looking for a happy hour/light dinner fare. The service was impeccable and the owner/chef is so sweet and invested in your experience. We had the zucchini carpaccio app which was delicious. We also enjoyed their house made focaccia with olive oil and house made aioli. Ended up ordering paella because it's what they are know for. We got the seafood and chicken mixed dish and it was very flavorful and filling. My only wish was for a few more shrimp in the paella because they were cooked perfectly! The handcrafted bar drinks are great as well! Would return with friends or for another happy hour! read more

Edit- The owner has gone above and beyond with follow up to this review. We will certainly return. The Wooden Spoon has a caring owner and chef. We will certainly try additional items on the menu. I SO wanted to love this place. Went with another couple. We all go out to dinner often, all over the city. We ordered the seafood paella in advance. I wish I had pics. We ordered the bread and dipping sauce and manchego. Very good. The server was lovely and I thought the decor was really nice. The paella was a huge disappointment. 3 prawns and six tiny, tiny clams. The rice was okay. Just rice. Nothing special. It almost felt like they forgot about the paella and threw it together. It was very strange. We also ordered a couple of tapas dishes. The zucchini and shrimp ajillo. The shrimp was very nice and flavorful and cooked well. The zucchini tapas just tasted oily. Maybe it was an off night. We all were so excited and left disappointed. read more

Got to check this place out last month and it was DELICIOUS!!! Decided to check this place out during my lunch break with a coworker and have no regrets (I'm actually planning on coming here again today for another lunch date haha). It was nice outside and we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather with our lunch. There were plenty of seats inside the restaurant too and so many cute knick knacks hanging on the walls. Our cashier/server was Chris and he was fantastic. He was helpful with any questions that we had on the menu and made sure that we were taken care of (especially since we were the only people sitting outside). For starters, we decided on their Pork Belly Bites (small plate) to share. I liked the small side of salad that it came with too...very green and tasty! The pork belly sammiches were perfect portioned and a cute dish to share. I decided on their AWARD chicken salad sandwich and my coworker got their BLT & Avocado sandwich. The presentations of the sandwiches were fantastic! I like the additional grapes on the side (quite refreshing). The salad was eaten first to make sure that we eat our greens haha. My sandwich (chicken salad) was a fantastic choice! - I would recommend it for first timers. My coworker finished up her sandwich too...there was definitely nothing left on our plates haha. A great experience and I look forward to coming here again. Highly recommend reading Maria T's review - hers is more descriptive on her experience and she literally took the words right out of my mouth on their bakery and breakfast menu. Def a spot to check out for lunch! read more

Okay, so I don't normally leave reviews, because normally even "good" restaurants don't make me want to take the time to write a review. This one does. If I could give 10 starts instead of 5, I would. I cannot give enough praise to The Wooden Spoon and the people who have so clearly devoted their whole selves to it. My fiancé and I arrived there not knowing if we would be able to sit down because it was reservation only on a Friday, but we were met personally by the chef, Yvette, and the waitress, Erin. It is a very intimate restaurant that makes you feel at home immediately. We chatted with Yvette and Erin most of the night, and it was truly one of the better restaurant experiences that have ever had. I haven't even gotten to the food yet. Oh my GOSH. When I say the food is out of this world... So normally, I have a very sensitive stomsch. I am easily agitated by food with aggressive spices, and unfortunately often upset by Spanish food (Americanized Spanish food, I should clarify). Almost all of the ingredients at this restaurant are imported from Spain, and when I say they were delicious and did not upset my stomach in the least, I mean it. The passion that Yvette pours into her food is undeniable, and I cannot give enough praise to this restaurant and the people working here. Absolutely cannot wait to return. read more

I'm so glad I found this place on a foodie FB page! All the reviews rave that if you want an authentic paella that you should come here and we agree! *Paella must be ordered in advance since it's not a fast dish to make, good things take time. It was so easy and simple to place the reservation; she has a quick template for you to follow on her website. Our server Luis was great and started us off with some fresh bread and dip, it was focaccia I believe. We all loved it, even my kids devoured it. We tried the mixta paella (seafood, chicken and vegetables) it was so delicious, I'm not a even huge fan of squid (my husband is) but I ended up eating them! And it's served with a homemade aioli that I wish I could put on everything. It was lemony and garlicky, just amazing. Tapas was beautifully prepared - which does not require a reservation - we tried the tortilla espanola, a Spanish potato and onion omelette (very filling, so save some room if you ordered paella which is comes at the end) served with an addictive homemade brava sauce! Not too spicy but it's got a kick to it. My in laws loved the patatas bravas. Chef Yvette even came out to check on us, told us a bit of her story and explained some of her sauces. You can just feel she radiates this joy and passion for what she does. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, music playing felt like we were actually in Spain. We felt bad because the Google menu has a glitch that mentioned chicken tenders and fries. Which we were planning on ordering for our kids, but Luis was so patient and attentive and Yvette went above and beyond, she whipped up some angel hair pasta for my boys to be able to eat, which was perfect because they love spaghetti If you're looking to support a local, small business come here. The quality of the food, the atmosphere and the staff are some of the best you'll find here in Richmond. read more

Chef Yvette prepared an amazing Mixta paella that we enjoyed for Thanksgiving dinner (along with delicious bread as well)!

After experiencing the food tours in Spain and tasted the paellas and tapas, we were hooked but we never found one in the Richmond area that's comparable until i found this place. The paellas, Mariscos and Domingo, were excellent. The tapas were equally tasty and authentic. We will definitely order for Christmas, Noche Buena, and may make this always a part of any future celebrations. Salud!!! read more

First timers!!! We went for some tapas and wine. Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! We had the zucchini carpaccio, shrimp, mushrooms & chocolate peanut butter cheese cake... it was phenomenal! We are looking forward to checking out their brunch with lavazza coffee and paella night!!! Highly recommend!! Love that there is finally a tapas place back in RVA! Everything is made with love so be patient... it's worth the wait! Cheers! Thanks to the awesome Canadian bartender & our darling server (cute brunette fun tattoos) ;) read more

We had a lovely dinner here last weekend. The small, quaint interior and menu made us feel like we were in a bistro in Costa Brava. My husband doesn't eat paella, so we decided to make a meal out of tapas. Everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. We had the shrimp ajillo, zucchini ajillo, patatas brava and steak board. The potatoes and smoky sauce were outstanding, and my husband could have drank the chimichurri sauce that was with served with the steak. The bread service was a lovely way to start the meal, and the aioli was the best we've ever tasted. The wine list is small but well curated and very reasonably priced. Next time we will go with our son so he and I can try the paella. read more

Excelent food with a personal service. We were a table of four and we all agreed that the paella was one of the best we ever tried. The tapas were tasty and generous portion. We loved the desserts that were also made fresh. We definitely will be back. The place is reservations only for dinner but the food came out fresh and fast. The paella needs a 24 hours notice. read more

Today my bf and I went for brunch in attempt to give this place a second shot. The first time we went (last month) was not the best experience but it was more due to the service. 1. The server never brought our ordered drinks. 2. My bf ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese. When it arrived it was missing the soup. When he asked where the soup was, he was told they are all out. She offered the potato soup in its place to which he said ok, but the soup didn't arrive until after we both were done eating. I really enjoyed my meal. I had the veggie quiche with a pancake on the side. They were both AMAZING! Hence why I wanted to try it again. Today was another disappointing experience. The server let us know they were short handed and to bear with them, ok no big deal. Last time time the service was slower so expected it. My bf ordered the breakfast sandwich on a croissant, he was told they were out so a brioche bun was the only option. He's not picky so said ok and asked for a pancake on the side too. I ordered the quiche again, Lorraine this time. Our meal didn't take too long to arrive but when it did my quiche was cold af. Last time it was piping hot. But I was starving so ate it anyway. If the server had come back to ask how everything was, I would've told her and maybe have it heated but she didn't. Lastly, the side pancake was 1/2 the size as our last visit. Think teacup saucer vs dinner plate. With two not so great experiences, we will not be dining here again. read more

Yvette catered our wedding of 160 people and did amazing! The paella was very affordable, dietary friendly (vegan and gluten free option) and beyond delicious. The serving process was extremely smooth (smoothest our day of coordinator has ever seen) and guests loved being able to watch the cooking process. It has been a month and our guests are still talking about how incredible the paella was and that they have never been so satisfied with wedding food before. Many of them even went back for 3rd and 4th servings and we had more than enough food for everyone (even leftovers!). We had a couple fly in from Spain who said "this is the real deal!". Thank you Yvette for making our day memorable! read more

Went to The Wooden Spoon last night to celebrate mine and my brother in-laws birthdays and I have to say it was wonderful! From the moment you walked in, you are transported to a small chic European restaurant. The AC was out but in my opinion it only added to the ambiance. Yvette and her staff were wonderful and attentive. I corresponded with her prior to make reservations and set up our pre- order for our paellas. We started with bread with an olive oil/ herb blend or aioli, all of which we're incredible. We ordered the Shrimp Ajillo, the Zucchini Carpaccio, the Tortilla Española, the toasted ravioli, and the patatas bravas as our tapa starters. The stars for me were the shrimp and the zucchini- both were fresh and delicious. The paella deserves it's own paragraph. As a Cuban- Miami native, I have had my fair share of paellas. So speaking from experience, we ordered the traditional mariscos paella and the langosta and mariscos paella and they we're both incredible. Really and truly one of the best paellas I've ever had. Rice was perfectly cooked, seafood was fresh and also cooked to perfection. I am already looking forward to returning just to have this again.. I would say one paella can feed about 3 hungry people. Finally, the most pleasant surprise- Yvette brought out 2 pound cakes- one with homemade chocolate bourbon sauce and one made with her homemade limoncello- all I can say was both we're BY FAR the BEST desserts I have had in a very very long time. All in all, if you're looking for something different in Richmond and looking to try authentic Spanish tapas, I would highly recommend trying out The Wooden Spoon. (I should add that my family had cocktails and Spanish beers and everyone raved about them but I am pregnant so I can't talk about them first hand. Also, my husband made me edit my review to talk about how amazing the Bananas Foster Pound Cake was.. I didn't try it but apparently you should). read more

NO LONGER RESTAURANT - Starting on August 1, 2023 this place is no longer a restaurant, but is focused instead on wine/culinary tours, private events at local venues, wine tastings, private parties, catering and serving at farmers markets.

This place is quite the hidden gem. It's a little on the small side, but it's very cozy and full of character. The Chef/ owner Yvette is very talented at her art. And I say art because all of her dishes have beautiful presentation. Most important, the food quality is top notch! Everything is organic and locally sourced. You can definitely tell she puts a lot of love and effort into everything she makes. I must admit, the prices are a little higher than I initially expected. However, it's hard to find places that offer an experience like this. Lastly, she did a great job on choosing her staff as they do a great job at making you feel like family. So do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Wow, what a lovely small family-run restaurant! My husband and I pre-ordered the paella negra and were greedy and had a couple of tapas too. This was a lot of food for two and we enjoyed it thoroughly, and took a little home for lunch! The garlic shrimp were so savory and plump, the honey-drizzled eggplant was delicious and like nothing we had tried before. I can be fussy with seafood paella but this was a perfect combination of textures and savory flavors, and not "fishy". Service was friendly and unobtrusive. Oh, and the booze-soaked fruit cake made a fantastic finale!! Highly recommend for a date night or a family gathering. Just remember to order the day before if wanting one of the paellas. read more

Great find! Woman-owned Cordon Bleu cafe in Richmond - scrumptious! What a nice surprise to find this well-appointed light spot for a quick brunch on a Sunday afternoon. This is not your ho-hum generic eatery but a woman-owned cafe headed by Cordon Bleu chef, Yvette Daniel. I had the pleasure of meeting Rachel and Carlos, two of the team's excellent folks who keep the place humming. As I discover new places, I tend to favor places which pay close attention to details surrounding the diner's experience. Everywhere you look is a delight - from the muted blue umbrellas to the distressed wall tableaus. Gentle low-volume music greets you as you enter the cafe and enhances your time there. Aromas of savory cooking, baking, strong coffee, and fresh pastry hint at what's to come. The cafe and staff welcome you to spend some time enjoying a good healthy meal or quick pick-me-up during your busy day. My latest escape spot in Richmond offers healthy, tasty, and well-prepared food in an environment that is pleasing, elegant, and all around enjoyable. Each table welcomes you with a bottle of chilled water flanked with a pair of delightful lightbulb salt and pepper shakers. Nice touch. I had the pleasure of spending time there enjoying their signature chicken salad sandwich paired with a delicate and crisp salad with chilled grapes. The meal was light and savory and I topped it off with two desserts - their Tres Leche cake is delicately decadent topped with sliced strawberries which tasted as if they were picked that morning. I finished with their chocolate cream tart which was garnished with mini morsels of goodness. Service was attentive, friendly, and kind. The food is fresh and delicious. Highly Recommended. The cafe offers happy hour in the evenings, several monthly special events, and an afternoon Tea (third Sunday of the month, reservations needed). They have a space for special events and their catering team is more than willing to work with you to make your event memorable - their attention to detail is apparent in everything here from the moment you walk in to the last glimpse of their pastries. Take the time to indulge in one (or in my case two) of the delights from the Wooden Spoon Cafe. Highly Recommended. read more

The wonderful owner is of Spanish heritage and actually goes back and forth to the kitchen to cook and/or supervise the cooking. She will recommend things, she will tell you about what's good, what is and is not on the menu that day. This is a hidden gem with limited hours but what a delight. Sit at the bar, have a chat, have a glass of wine and some patatas bravas or another tapas offering. Don't expect speed - this is a small operation - but what you get is personal attention from a person who truly believes in what she's doing. She would rather serve something delicious and talk to her customers than compromise the ideal. The highlight on this menu (which I did not try) were the varied and extensive paella offerings. Even if you get them to go (this was the impressive part!) customers may take the paella in a casuela (the cast iron skillet) for a small deposit and it is returned when the casuela is returned. Wow! Pretty cool. Oh and in the background, you may hear some old time Julio Iglesias. Nice. read more

Highly recommend this gem. Great hand crafted cocktails-must try the Bloody Mary, the spice rim alone is out of this world. Food quality is superb. Yvette selects organic and local almost exclusively which is rare and so appreciated. The love and care Yvette puts into her food is impeccable, delicious. If you're looking for a place to try, this is it. (They also can make a phenomenal cappuccino.) read more

We loved this cute and fun restaurant! It was so cozy and intimate and we loved Yvette. She told us that due to Covid, her priorities shifted and now she's going to do private dinners and turn half of her restaurant into a cute tapas, charcuterie and wine bar!! Her wine is imported directly from Spain and we got a chance to try the red wine and it was so smooth and delicious that I had to buy the entire bottle! This is definitely the kind of restaurant where you go for a long dinner with an old friend you haven't seen in forever or a best friend who you can chat for hours. I had the ribeye and my friend got the chicken parm and it was the best steak I've ever had. The PERFECT medium rare steak, not chewy at all and just melted in your mouth. I can't wait to come back again with my boyfriend! Thanks for taking care of us so well Yvette!. read more
