Kid Friendly/Post-game Recommendation in Richmond

Bottoms Up Pizza in the bottom could probably work. I haven't been in years but it used to draw a big crowd. I'd call in advance. Most of the places near the omni are bars and if you're in there late, like after a game, they can move from the food scene to a bar crowd. Before 10:00 or so may work ok but if you're pushing up against that time you're kinda out of luck for places within walking distance.

Nice dinner in Richmond Sunday before Valentine's

Not sure what side of town you're from, but in the West End, I'd recommend Eurasia or Patina Grill. Went back to Patina after a several year break, and had a great meal. Mezzanine is another Sunday spot, but I'd pick Six Burner over that every day!

The Roosevelt

Finally made it to the Roosevelt the other night and my only disappointment was that it took me so long to go. Great vibe, service, and food. Had the pig's head terrine, fried sugar toads, tile fish, and the panna cotta. My daughter had the pimento cheese/chips, flank steak, and peanut butter pie. We loved all of it. The sugar toads came with friend oysters and calamari, and the batter was perfect. The peanut butter pie is very dense, not the whipped peanut butter I feared. Fish and steak were both prepared perfectly and were very good. I found it very difficult to choose a cocktail; all of them sounded great. The one I had included gin and Cheerwine and was so smooth and delicious. I highly recommend it!!

Richmond, VA in November

I agree with Stuzzi and Aziza's for the pizza. The only cheeseburger sub that I can think of is at Bernie's Subs in the Tuckahoe shoppping center, between Angela's and Flynn's. And they only have it on Fridays.

Our inaugural EMP birthday trip - review/comments

At my favorite BBQ joint in my NC hometown, they mix Cheerwine and Sundrop and top it off with a lemon slice. A real treat!! And Sundrop has both bottled it and sold it as a slushy. The joys of small town NC!

Portico Restaurant - River Road, Richmond, Va

Friends of mine went this weekend. Said it was "meh". Nothing special. I'm giving it more time before I go. I had such high expectations for a great place so close by. They said the baked spaghetti was no different from anywhere else, and that they'd stick with Angela's.

Any Richmond Hounders tried The Roosevelt or The Magpie?

I'm a fan of both Lee Gregory from his time at Six Burner and Owen Lane from The Track. Just wondering about their new spots.....

Need Staunton, VA Recommendation

If you're looking for something a little more upscale, and within walking distance of the Shakespeare Theatre, I stongly recommend Staunton Grocery. An incredible menu, great service, and surprisingly sophisticated (sorry all you Stauntonites, no disrespect intended) food.

Richmond Recs Needed for Next Week

I would strongly recommend both Acacia Mid-Town and Six Burner, both of which have $25-ish 3 course prix fixe. Also, check out Comfort and Edo's Squid, although there really is no bar to speak of at Edo's. A really cool place with both a neat vibe and awesome food is Pescado's China Street. Kuba Kuba is a great place as well, but it's small and your clothes will smell up your hotel room. Good food, but I'm just saying... I would stay away from any place near the Berkeley, other than its dining room (Tobacco Co, Peking, Sam Millers, etc).

Richmond recs needed, some restrictions

I second Comfort, and early at Edo's Squid would avoid the noise. You can make reservations there. Millie's is another wonderful choice, and will be close by, as is LuLu's, which, it looks like, may have some name appeal to your daughter!! All of those are child friendly, with wonderful food for you two and "non-intimidating" menus for the 'rents.

Making a list for a friend moving to Richmond VA need basic rec's please.

1. Hands down, best coffee is at Lamplighter. And super food there as well. It'll help if your friend is a hipster.

2. 8 1/2 is really good pizza, take out only. Bottoms Up has to be tried at least once. Very different, but a real treat.

3. I second votes for Acacia Mid-Town, Six Burner. Fine dining, but very casual vibes.

4. Millies for sure. It's the first place most people think of, and for good reason.

Other cool places to try: Mamma Zu's, Edo's Squid, Comfort, Pescado's China Street, Mezzanine, Can Can, Lehja, Kuba Kuba,and for sushi, Carytown Sushi or Akida. We also have some neat Vietnamese and Thai.

A wonderful, exquisite dinner at Daniel (full review)

So pleased to read your review. I'm not a New Yorker, only an annoying frequent tourist, but Daniel and the other Boulud restaurants are always on our must list. I've been fortunate to meet Chef Boulud on several occasions, and have appreciated his kindness. I completely realize I'm not much of a "foodie", and like to see my choices validated by a pro.

Siberias

Just read the article on Eater about 10 Awkward Dining Moments, and one dealt with what to do if you were seated in Siberia. I'm interested to hear about where you think Siberia is in some of the nicer, 3 or 4 star places in town.

Oyster Bar Grand Central

I'm a huge pan roast fan. I always sit at the oyster bar and have always had quick service (and the same guys have worked there forever) and love to watch the preparation. Although seeing how they fix a pan roast, I'm amazed at how simple it looks!!

Recommend best Richmond restaurants?

I bet we could start a whole new thread about dessert!! For some reason or other, I've never been blown away by any of the desserts at the higher end places in town. Surprisingly, I found CanCan to be very inventive and delicious. Most places, it almost seems to me that chefs try too hard to be cutting edge and the desserts never taste as good as I think they will. Thoughts?

Pearl's Cupcakes; Richmond, VA

I also went for the first time this weekend. (Actually,I went twice because it was so good!!) I'm a huge Two Sweet fan but was in Westhampton and stopped by. Had the Cherry Pie, Carrot, Sweet Potato, Oreo, and Strawberry Fields. Loved them all. Thought the Sweet Potato was one of the best I've ever had. Strongly recommend.

Looking for interesting prix fixe lunch options, travelling with 17 and 22 year old.

One of the Momo's could be a good option. Ssam Bar and Noodle Bar both offer great prix fixe lunches and have a cool vibe that your son may appreciate more than a more traditional spot.
