Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Richmond – 2024

Tasty fusion Italian Asian cuisine. We had the two popular pastas (seafood and pulled duck leg) with garlic bread, as well as the prosciutto pizza. The pastas are highly recommended! Seafood was with tomato sauce while the duck was cream sauce. The garlic bread was very garlic-y too. The pizza was good as well, but we liked the pastas more. Definitely will try again.

Other people treat the restaurant like a coffee house, talking LOUD as if to out rude the other LOUD talkers. Food was a smidgen overpriced for the pork belly I received which didn't look at all like in the tv display in the place. I only tipped generously because of the service, not the food.

What a great fusion restaurant! Italian and Asian food together is awesome. The fusion doesn't stop with the menu, but also continues with the decor. Hints of Italian design in the restaurant with Asian decor scattered around gives you the sense they really do mean fusion here. My partner and I ordered the Pork Belly Pizza after seeing so many reviews and it is quite tasty. Interesting use of pesto sauce (authentic with pine nuts) and pork belly! I had the pulled duck leg spaghetti with mascarpone sauce and it was sooooo good. Nice and smooth, well balance creamy flavour and the duck was very tender. We recently ate at Kissa Tanto downtown and couldn't figure out what the whole hype is about their food. It was good fusion and the service was good, but not great for the price. Broli is a GREAT fusion restaurant, with a great price point for delicious meals. Broli's servers are also very friendly. For any tourist in the area, give this restaurant a try if you don't want to compete with downtown Vancouver prices and the headache of parking. Lots of parking here and it's free. We also enjoyed the dessert at the end with the pecan graham crumble for the carmel macchiato pot de creme and Lava cake was awesome! Both are made in house and are a great way to end dinner! Highly recommended! I am an Asian who grew up in a house hold with excellent Asian chef parents, but who enjoys Western and European food too!

It is a great place, just next to the check-in counter for taking sea planes. Very nice view where we can see sea planes taking off. The food is okay. Not amazingly good. Egg Benny was fine, but I don't really enjoy the hash brown. However, fries , which came with the burger, were good! One good thing is that they have a kid's menu! My little one loves that. Oh, another good thing is that breakfasts are served until 1 pm one oj weedkends and holidays!

I ordered the Tuesday taco special which was fresh. My friends ordered vege burger with fries, routine, and chicken wraps. All of our food was fresh, the service was great and the beer was cold. It's fun to watch the sea planes land and take off of the water.

We enjoyed a delightful Friday evening at this place. Despite the bustling crowd, the service remained friendly and attentive. The fish and chips were a highlight, featuring fresh-tasting fish. While the Black & Blue burger was decent and met expectations, the clam chowder was disappointing as it lacked any seafood flavor. The ambience was wonderful, offering views of the Fraser River and seaplanes, adding to the overall experience. However, the tables were too close together, which slightly detracted from our comfort. Parking spots are limited too.

We used their function room for our intimate wedding reception. The room was spacious to seat a maximum of 14 people, which was more than enough room for all of us. We liked the privacy it offered as it allowed all of us to interact closely with each other and simply enjoy each other’s company. One of our guests brought their child and another one brought their infant - both of the little ones enjoyed the space as well as they roamed around the room as if they were running a marathon. Food was excellent. We chose a group dinner set menu. For the main course, everyone either picked the prime rib or the new york strip loin. They also served kids meal for the young ones. All of our guests loved and commented how they enjoyed the 3-meal course. The staff service was nothing short of top-notch. They were very attentive and efficient. We highly appreciate their thoughtfulness in giving us a mini congratulatory cake to celebrate our special day. Thank you and kudos to the Chop Team!

This restaurant is quite spacious, and the food overall is excellent. However, the soup of the day was a bit disappointing, tasting somewhat like it came from a can. On the other hand, the prime ribs were very good. We ordered the large portion, which was a good size for sharing. The mushroom dip was particularly enjoyable. As for dessert, it was just okay—nothing really special, and the portions were a bit small, especially the cheesecake. The crème brûlée was decent.

We decided to have dinner at Chop while staying at the Sandman hotel by the airport the night before our flight from YVR. We tried a delicious appetizer (can't remember what exactly - but it was amazing). Our steaks were done perfectly and the sides were great. Our server Grace was lovely also. They even brought us a complimentary dessert on them as it was our honeymoon trip! We were very impressed by our experience.

This hidden gem of a mom-and-pop restaurant is truly amazing! Don’t let its location deter you—step inside and treat yourself to a delicious feast made with top-quality ingredients.

Excellent genuine service. Amazing food. Must try if in the area. Authentic family owned business. We tried almost half the menu and will return to try the other half next time! Hello from Toronto!

We came on a Saturday at 2pm and there were a few empty tables. We got a couple of items to share. The food took awhile to arrive by elevator. Be warned it can get quite hot upstairs. Our favourite was the pide cheese. It was the most visually appealing and also tasted the best. Loved the bread and the cheese combo. Doesn't get better than that. The other ones we tried all tasted similar to it. I would skip the beef wrap and the pizza and just stick with the pide cheese We also tried the napoleon and it isn't your standard puff pastry napoleon. It wasn't crispy but it was still made with layered pastry and custard. Not my cup of tea Overall service was super friendly. Food wise it maybe just didn't suit us. I would say just try the pide cheese or the pide beef if you eat meat. Wouldn't make the trek out to this industrial area just to have it. But if you are at IKEA, it's not a bad place to stop by and try it

I never rated place five stars but this one absolutely earned it. I eat lamp chunk every where i go, Anar serves it in a very unique way with the spices and the whole combination. My only recommendation is to serve it with plain rice. Big shoutout for the owner who showed Persian Hospitality and served tea to the whole team. Thanks for the amazing experience. Will come again for sure :)

Hands down, one of the best Iranian restaurants! Loved the atmosphere and the food. My son tried lamb shank and he loved it. I tried Joojeh and loved it. But the award goes to the hot, fluffy, crispy bread. Anar, I loved your painting on the wall with the woman with the violin. The message was obvious.

The lamb/beef kabobs and the chicken were both incredibly juicy. Rice was flavorful and fluffy. I honestly can’t remember last time I ate rice this perfect, or meats this juicy. The eggplant dip is also so, so amazing. This is food heaven! I clearly need to eat Persian food more often. Also staff is so friendly and sweet. Can’t wait to be back and try more.

We ventured over to Kove restaurant today. If my wife did not venture to the end of the dock we would not have seen the nice patio and view Kove has. We were greeted by friendly staff. The drinks (Blue Kahuna and 33 Acres beer on tap) were cold and yummy. The waffles and fried chicken were savory. The batter on the generous 3 pieces of chicken were seasoned well. Waffles were good. The syrup brought it all together. The fish and chips were good. The pacific rougheye fish was moist and had good texture for a fried fish. The fries were well seasoned although I would prefer a thicker cut. It seemed like I got a lot of ends. Overall I highly recommend visiting here. Dogs are allowed on the patio but they do limit one dog per table. Cheers!

Laid back burger joint at the waterfront with a Ukrainian touch. Our server was super friendly and keep offering us free beer samples. Burger was tasty

The fish & chips was tasty, and their cheeseburger was very good. Their clam chowder soup had too much butter flavour though, which was not my favourite. There was nice seating outside the restaurant as well as inside.

Had a business lunch after a meeting at the hotel. The service was very attentive, and the food was good if not exceptional. Had tomato soup which was flavorful. Had chicken for the main and it was a little on the dry side It was quiet and comfortable to carry on conversations. I did find the prices for lunch to be a little higher than expected, which was the main reason for 4 stars. Would consider it for dinner sometime.

Service by the server was EXCEPTIONAL, the 5 stars are all for her. Complimentary parking was good. The dining room had no more than 3 tables when I walked in. The roasted beets salad was so miniscule, even a can of cat food has more content and it was for a total rip off price of $24 dollars or was the plate just too large. The roasted beef sandwich with the soup is still expensive but a lot more palatable than the former. Strangely, the forks must have been used to crack open your safe as it was all twisted & bent out of shape, even the replacement from was somewhat twisted. During the whole time, it was very depressing to see I was the only customer in the whole dining room on a Black Friday morning.

Server was amazing! He went through the whole menu with our big party (celebrating my birthday) explaining each dish that was unique! We had five kids and four adults! Definitely kid friendly, they had a kid's menu which had many healthy options! The food was really good as it was different from other restaurants! I would definitely come again! My family and friends enjoyed it too and wanted to come back again as well!

I was looking for a great place to eat since my hotel didn't have any restaurants there. I ended up finding this little gem in Richmond. What an amazing place to eat. The food was delicious, the servers were amazing. Plus they had someone playing live music. I definitely recommend the lobster tail fettuccine. The beef Wellington that I had the day before was delicious. Calamari was to die for. I definitely recommend this place.

This cafe is located a few minutes away from a lot of accommodations and hotels. I would say it's worth it to grab lunch here, especially if you're nearby on a visit. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the host and servers were kind and prompt. I would say that it took around 40 minutes for our food to come after we had ordered it, so it's a bit slow. I can understand because we did come during the lunch rush and they were slammed. I had a salad and the vegetables were a bit wet still, but the balsamic dressing and choice of vegetables was decent. The sweet potato yum fries were a bit cold by the time they arrived to use, but they were seasoned well and still fairly crispy. My girlfriend had an eggs Benedict dish and I think the execution of it was fairly well done. They didn't ask for how she wanted her eggs done though, so definitely inform them if you specifically want a doneness. The other execution or weird decision was putting arugula underneath hot bacon. It was wilted, unseasoned, bitter and a bit wet. That was a fairly weird decision instead of quickly dressing it with something and putting it off to the side so it wouldn't wilt. I could understand if it was cooked or quickly tossed in a pan, but it was just raw arugula. My absolute favourite thing here was the Danish. It was warm, just sweet enough, and had delicious blueberries on top. Overall a good experience and definitely worth a visit if you're in Vancouver.

Really good burger, patty was perfectly cooked, soft and juicy with a nice seared crust. Very thick portion as well. Mushrooms were good wish they added a bit more but were perfectly cooked. Bun was very good, nice quality brioche bun. Fries were perfectly cooked but wished the portion was a bit larger. Sat in the patio section, was very nice with a cool breeze and shaded. Staff were very friendly and tentative. Parking is tricky, there’s free street parking but very limited and gets filled up quick. There’s paid parking across the street for $3 for the day.

Cavu Kitchen Bar in Richmond certainly knows how to draw a crowd with their National Burger Day BOGO deal. The initial service was commendable, with a server who was both attentive and friendly, setting a positive tone for the meal. The nachos, however, were a letdown, lacking the robust topping variety one might expect, and while the cheese quality surpassed that of Good Co, the absence of salsa left the dish feeling incomplete. The smash burgers, a highlight in theory, fell short in execution with under-seasoned patties and disproportionately large buns that detracted from the overall moisture and flavor. The fries, too, were a disappointment, promising crunch yet delivering a softness that defied their well-cooked appearance. As the evening progressed and the restaurant filled, the attentive service waned, with a noticeable delay in receiving the bill. Observations of other staff members attending to tasks while my server was overwhelmed suggest a potential mismanagement of duties. This experience leaves one pondering the disparity between personal experience and the glowing reviews Cavu Kitchen Bar has received.

I decided to throw my husband, a surprise 50th birthday party and CAVU popped up in my list. I live in Richmond which made this place super convenient and having my workplace close by I had great experience coming to this place before. With a limited budget in mind, I also don’t want to compromise the food, ambiance & overall experience for our love ones and this place had checked all the boxes for me. Dharm & Rishi communicated very well & right away each step of the way. They are so accommodating including menu options, set up and small request here & there were all assisted in a very timely and smooth fashion. Their staff was friendly & helpful and had smile on their faces the whole time, we had a lovely bartender throughout the night (shoutout to him for being so kind and generous! He was the cherry on top of our night) and everyone was as thankful as we are- such a positive environment to be! The ambience is restaurant style but had that classy vibe that makes you feel that you are in a special place. The food was all delicious, it was a buffet and the food was filled all the time, plus the staff at the carving station had this great welcoming smile when he was serving the food. Parking was free for everyone as well which is fantastic. I got a lot of compliments from my guest, thanks to Dharm , Rishi and their Cavu Restaurant team- certainly made my husband party more memorable & special than it already is. As for the price, it is unbeatable and very affordable, amazing places like this still exist! It’s definitely a hidden gem in Richmond and I highly highly recommend everyone to support restaurants like these who strives to provide amazing service while being mindful of the prices they ask from their customers. Thanks again Cavu Restaurant team, Kudos to all of you! - MB

I'm pleasantly surprised with the food here. Well presented. Good flavors.

My recent dining at Sector 7 was nothing short of delightful. The food was absolutely delicious, exceeding my expectations with every bite. From appetizers to dessert, each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and creativity that truly impressed. Equally impressive was the service provided by our server. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, enhancing our dining experience significantly. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. However, I must acknowledge that Sector 7 is on the pricier side. While the quality of the food and service justifies the cost to a large extent, it might be considered a splurge for some diners, especially those watching their budget closely.

Service was amazing. Our server Bal was so wonderful and sweet. She gave us fantastic recommendations and steered us in the right directions for food choices. The "Before and after" smash burger I had and "The American" that my son had both provided us with some of the best burgers we have ever had. And we've had a few ;). The balance of flavors in the burgers, quality of ingredients, sweet and salty as well as acidic balance and perfect cook on the patties so that they were still juicy made for an unforgettable experience. The Milk and Cookies desert was great. The one suggestion we would make is for it to have a graham wafer crust on the bottom. But the added salt in there and the sprinkles of cocoa and matcha on it really elevated it. I just wish we didn't live so far away! But then if we didn't, we'd probably be here far too often! Highly, highly recommended.

Good Food, Disappointing Service I recently dined at Sector 7 Kitchen + Bar and had a mixed experience. The food was undeniably good, with the American Burger and Birria Tacos standing out as particularly delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, making the meal enjoyable. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, the staff seemed inattentive and slow to respond to our needs. We had to wait quite a while for our orders to be taken and for the food to arrive. Additionally, getting refills and addressing any concerns felt like a challenge. Overall, while the food at Sector 7 Kitchen + Bar is worth trying, the service needs significant improvement. I hope they can address these issues, as it has the potential to be a great dining spot in Richmond.

Saw an ad for this place on Instagram so thought that it was a good place to try out because they have happy hour on a lot longer than other places. Overall our experience was good, friendly staff and good food. Only sad part was they stopped serving the waffle nachos, which is what I wanted to try the most!

Ever since we discovered SPARK, we haven't been able to eat any other restaurant's wings. The service, mood, and food are all fantastic, and it makes me wonder why this place isn't overflowing with people every day. Me and my family come here almost every month, and we have no plan to stop.

What a great way to end our 4000km+ roadtrip between Calgary and Vancouver Island! Before heading home we wanted to have one last dinner by the water and I found this place on google maps! We really enjoyed the view! I made a reservation and was given a nice spot outside facing out towards the water which I believe was the best seats in the house in my opinion. The staff was very nice and we had no issues with them. The tartar, fish&chips, as well as salmon was delicious! I do have a few things that could be improved. The tartar appetizer comes with chips to dip but you don't get a whole lot. The plate didn't feel full. Still delicious. The fish&chips was great but just a little too much batter on the fish.

Overall good service, food presentation and flavours. Waterfront venue with outdoor patio seating. Service was okay, nothing above and beyond. There are decently better restaurants at this price point. We ordered mostly seafood dishes. The crab was sub-par, hard to open due to soft shells and salty. The muscles, clams, shrimp and oysters were all fairly fresh and delicious. Seafood chowder was one of the better ones we've tried. The salad was our extra order, but it ended up being one our favourites here with the dressing and ingredients used. Caesar cocktails above par in texture and flavour.

Awesome waterfront restaurant with heated patio. I loved the details for having blankets on every chair for chillier days and the boathouse decorations. We tried the Tuna Tataki Salad, Tuna Tartare appetizer and the crab dip! Everything was delicious, especially the salad - tangy sweet sauce with fresh raw tuna with all the crunches worked so well all together. Also the service by John was excellent!!

We came to Moxies Richmond based on a recommendation from our hotel. It not only met our expectations, it exceeded it! The food was delicious and wholesome, the service was exceptional thanks to our amazing host Chantal - she made our experience so much more entertaining and welcoming. Thanks for making our first night back in Vancouver so memorable and enjoyable.

We are planning. To host our company Cmas party at Moxies so we decide to play a visit. Service is great and food was delicious. Although we have finalized the party venue I do look forward to return to enjoy the amazing food again~!

**Moxies Richmond Restaurant Review** - **Location**: 3233 St Edwards Dr, Richmond, BC, V6X 3K4 **Food:** - **Thai Coconut Soup**: This dish was exemplary—rich and creamy with a perfect balance of tangy and salty flavors. It merits a score of 9 out of 10. - **Calamari**: While the portion size was modest, the seasoning was impeccable. It earned an 8 out of 10. - **Chicken Wings**: These wings were outstandingly meaty and flavorful. They rightfully deserve a 9 out of 10. - **Rib eye Steak**: Though it could have benefitted from a pinch of extra salt, the overall quality was impressive. It receives an 7 out of 10. - **New York Steak**: well-balanced seasoning, this steak was a delightful dish. However, by the time we finished the appetizers, it was not as warm as it should have been. It earns a 7 out of 10. **Ambiance**: The restaurant provides a spacious and cozy environment, making it an inviting place to dine. The interior design strikes a balance between modern and comfortable, contributing to a relaxed dining experience. **Service**: The service was adequate, with staff members being generally attentive, though not exceptionally so. Improvement in timing would enhance the overall experience. **Price**: The pricing is reasonable, offering good value for the quality of food served. However, the overall value would be rated at 3 out of 5. **Verdict**: Moxies Richmond Restaurant is definitely worth a revisit. The food quality is high, and the ambiance is inviting. The only area for improvement is the service timing. By the time we finished the appetizers, our steaks were not as warm as they should have been. **Summary**: Moxies Richmond Restaurant offers a commendable dining experience with its delicious food, cozy ambiance, and fair pricing. The slight service hiccup is a minor flaw in an otherwise positive experience, making it a restaurant worth returning to.

I recently visited Cactus Cafe in Richmond, and it was a fantastic experience! The vegan burger was simply excellent – packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Their chicken tacos were equally impressive, with tender chicken and fresh toppings that made each bite delightful. The highlight, though, was the peanut butter crunch dessert, which was outstanding – a perfect mix of creamy and crunchy textures that left me craving more. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Cactus Cafe is a must-visit spot in Richmond, whether you’re vegan or not. Highly recommended!

Overall food was good, service was great! Atmosphere was nice. I got the Bolognese! Tasted very good! Definitely will come back. It’s located in Richmond centre which is convenient if you need to wait for your table.

**Delicious Food and Exceptional Service at Cactus Club Cafe Richmond** Cactus Club Cafe in Richmond is a must-visit restaurant if you're in the area. The atmosphere is vibrant and colorful, setting the perfect mood for any occasion. The menu offers a fantastic variety of food and drinks, with something to satisfy every palate. I highly recommend their Epic IPA—it's simply delicious. My personal favorite is the Cajun chicken burger with yam fries, a dish that never disappoints. The location is also very convenient, with easy access by bus and SkyTrain, and plenty of free parking available. After enjoying a meal, you can even take a stroll over to Richmond Center Mall for some shopping. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding service. The staff are incredibly friendly and fun, making every dining experience special. I’ve had the pleasure of being served by Jennifer, Noah, and Jacob, all of whom are professional and ensure your food is made just right. Cactus Club Cafe has maintained its delicious taste and high standards for over 20 years, and I highly recommend everyone give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

12/10. This place is phenomenal. The food and service were both top notch. Also, lucky for me they have A LOT of gluten free options, for those who have allergies or sensitivities to gluten. I figured they would have at least a few options but according to our server, either the owner or the head chef has celiac so they try to incorporate several gluten free options for guests. So we ordered the fried broccolette, the seven hills 16 oz ribeye, and the Greg’s catch of the day. The broccolette might not sound that interesting but it was actually super delicious and 10 times better than we thought it would be. We only ordered after our server (i think her name is Kat) recommended it. The ribeye was really good on its own, but the Greg’s catch was the pride and joy of the evening. I didn’t know what panisse was before this evening and now I know it’s one of my favorite food items. It was paired with a trout/salmon like fish and it had a sauce spread all around it too. That dish would be my recommendation to anyone. Our server, Kat, explained a lot to us and was super helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back.

The food here is amazing! I order the catfish every time I go. It is flavorful and fried perfectly. The service here is also top tier. I love how the menu updates to make sure that the ingredients are fresh and flavorful.

Dinner was amazing. We had the brisket and Catfish along with some apps. Wonderful mocktails and a great wine list. Such a charming spot in a lovely walkable neighborhood with plenty of street parking.

My husband and I are visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was really nice and our hostesses were very accommodating with our reservation. We had the delight of having Emma as our waitress and she was a doll. She was very accommodating. …

I went to the rockets landing location for a birthday brunch this past week and it was great! The server CeeCee was great! She was very friendly and very accommodating to the table! We started with the special which was a sweet and savory …

I’m not sure it’s fair to review a restaurant during restaurant week. I have to say I walked away a little hungry because the portions were small but that might’ve been because it was restaurant week. Our drinks were lovely and very strong and the soup with short ribs was incredible, my entrée of cinnamon pork was lacking in taste the flavor and the bread pudding did nothing for me

Had decided to go to Rowland as part of 2022's October Restaurant Week for dinner. Went to dinner on a Saturday night around 8 pm and were not disappointed in the least. When we arrived (party of 4), we were quickly seated and introduced to our server, which gave us time to look over drinks. After making our selections, we were given time to chat and catch up with each other. The small plates were great, myself. I had a pork belly with chimichurri, and the sauce was more amazing than the tasty pork. For the main, I had duck confit with pumpkin ravioli, which balanced so perfectly. The only hiccup came during this when a tablemate was given the wrong dish. The server, when made aware of it, quickly corrected this error. The only real complaint was the close seating, and it was a little loud. Will 100% go back for a normal night!

Had an early Friday night dinner. I ordered the soft shell crab special, served with a tomato butter sauce on the side, with fingerling potatoes. I’m from the Chesapeake Bay so I’d like to think I know my soft shells. These were the absolute best I have ever had. Cooked perfectly without any heavy battering. The “side sauce” will make your head spin around. A+ to the chef on this entree. And the service and atmosphere are spot on

What a cool place! A small, cooked-to- order restaurant. Loved the atmosphere. The restaurant has two sitting options, indoor and out in the garden patio. The seafood crepes were very unique. It's delicious, but a little watery. Definitely make reservations. I'm looking forward to another visit.

I have been wanting to eat here for years. After one visit, I probably will not go back again. Here are the pros and cons. Let’s talk about cons first. Difficult to get a table, my best option was outside sitting at 5:15 PM on a October Saturday night when I made reservation one week prior. Very expensive. We ordered two appetizers, one cocktail, four entrees, one dessert, plus 17% tip (we normally tip 20% for a good service, but in this case, it would be and tax, it was $55 per person. It was too much for family dinner. Not to mention the food was not memorable. It would be fine if the dishes were better, nothing was exceptional. Lastly, the restaurant offers mandatory free valet parking. For two cars, it was an additional $10 in gratuity. Now, let’s talk about the pros. The restaurant was very charming. Outdoor tables were surrounded by herb garden and heat lamps. Service was top notch, our waiter Billy deserves a five star. My disappointment was with the food. The quality and flavor did not meet the price tag and my expectations. There is no options for vegetables, same sautéed vegetables for every dish. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp, Franco's Lobster Caper Cream Sauce was just OK. My husband had Seafood Crepe. It was an innovative dish, but did not have a wow factor. My son had Lamb Risotto, it was cooked well. The lamb was tender and full of flavors. My daughter ordered the Petite New York Steak medium well, it was bloody when cut into the steak. Our waiter Billy took the dish back immediately and gave her a Caesar salad while she waited. They cooked a new piece of steak for my daughter. The only issue was we all finished with our meals and had to wait for her. The presentation of appetizers was beautiful. We ordered the Grilled Artichoke & Crab, it was delicious! The Caprese was nothing special. Our friend we met up with ordered the special Arancine Siciliane, it looked very appetizing. Tiramisu hit the spot. This is just my opinions, you should definitely give this restaurant a try since it is so popular with locals.

This little restaurant is beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of outdoor seating because it's so small. But it exudes atmosphere. The service was wonderful as was the food. This was a great dining experience.

Wait staff is friendly, menu is relatively new I’ve been told so I was recommended practically everything on the brunch entree menu. I made reservations but had access while waiting fir hostess to finish answering a call. The ambiance is a 5, nice cushioned settees by the window, very well appointed although paper napkins are used. I always order shrimp and grits for my quest if the best ever. Their version is slightly disappointing. They just have a huge portion of grits, slightly too dense. Then the sauce was just put to the side next to the grits instead of poured over it, which makes you have to mix all of it. The sausage was cut to a bias in large pieces rather than diced to better spoonful size. Nothing special.

Absolutely phenomenal. Please excuse the empty soup bowl. I sampled it and then couldn't put my spoon down long enough to take a picture. Everything was superb. The atmosphere, the service, the food. All top notch. After an already delicious dinner our waitress recommended the ooey gooey butter cake. YAAAAAAAS! It was glorious.

I've dined at this restaurant twice, and the second time, I was highly disappointed. I went to celebrate two of my co-workers' birthdays. I brought a cake for the occasion and placed it on our table. As our food was about to be served, the hostess kindly offered to store the cake in their refrigerator to make more room on the table. She assured us that we could have the cake back after our meal and that she would provide extra plates and silverware so that we could enjoy it. After finishing our meal, we asked for the cake, and that's when the waiter informed us that we couldn't eat our own cake in their restaurant because they sell cake themselves. I was shocked and frustrated as this policy wasn't communicated to us when we arrived. The hostess was also confused and mentioned that bringing in cakes was common and allowed. Furthermore, when I visited the restaurant in the past, I witnessed another table celebrating a birthday with a cake they had brought in (hence, how I got the idea). However, we were not allowed to eat ours. Not being able to enjoy our cake significantly dampened our celebration! If this is their policy, I respect that. However, I felt like the restaurant intentionally did not disclose their policy upfront when they saw me bring in the cake because they knew we would have gone to another restaurant. They were more concerned about their profits than our celebration. As a result, I would never return to this restaurant and would not recommend it to others.

My wife and I had dinner last night at Lillie Pearl. It was phenomenal! Everything was great. Service (Grace was our person who helped us) and Food were impeccable! We had a great time! We had the short rib egg rolls (yum!!), she had a wedge salad with chicken and I had the Crispy Skin Salmon! My wife also said they did great with a Skinny Margarita! Can’t wait to come back and try the Shrimp, Grits, and Lobster!

Absolutely delicious southern food. Lobster shrimp and grits, fried chicken, dranks, pork, absolutely mind blowing. We walked in and sat at the bar with no wait. Interior design is really cute with a great atmosphere. The bar service was also superb, we had a blast!! Highly recommended.

After a Google search for places to eat in Richmond, we discovered this gem, and we were not disappointed. The food is some of the best southern cuisine we've ever had. Each dish was perfectly balanced, with every component on the plate complementing the others. We tried the short rib, which was tender, savory, and served in a generous portion. The fried chicken was also impressive—a large piece with just the right amount of sweet and spicy sauce. The grits with lobster were out of this world; this dish was one of the best we've ever tasted. We also enjoyed sides of creamed corn and collard greens. The Brussels sprouts were a standout, with a deliciously sweet undertone to the flavors. We finished our meal with banana pudding and peach cobbler—both were excellent, though I would say they have a more mature flavor profile, as my children didn’t enjoy them as much. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. My only complaint is that the waitress didn’t properly explain what was included with each dish. We ended up ordering sides we didn’t need, which led to wasted food and money. A little more guidance from the staff would have made a big difference. The total for our meal was $150, plus the tip. While the bill could have been lower with better information, the food was absolutely worth every penny.
