My friend and I are new to the area and decided to try Firebirds for a nice dinner out, when we walked past it in the mall. We will be coming back for sure! The atmosphere was great and from the minute we walked in we felt relaxed. Our server was friendly and had great recommendations. I would recommend the Double Diamond Martini....delicious! And, mid-way through, our server came and replaced my glass with a newly frosted one. Awesome, I rarely see that done ever! We ordered the Lobster Spinach Queso (really great), and each got a salad and a filet. Our steaks were cooked just as we ordered, and were terrific! My only drawback was that it was raining outside, so we couldn't sit out on what looked like a nice patio area. We will be coming back....and our server told us there is another Firebirds in Midlothian, which we thought we'd check out too.
Pros: great food, quality service, fun atmosphere
Cons: n/a

I think this place is a one of its kind. The same employees have been there for years. It is family owned and operated. Fred is a cool cat. Service is fast. I think the take out order review is outragious. This is a diner with an extremely small kitchen and not equipped to handle any more than it already does. It is not that the business is not welcomed but customers that are at tables, sitting, and waiting take priority. This is not a drive through or a banquest facility. We love our many many loyal customers and we welcome everyone. McLeans has not been around for 30+ years for no reason. Thanks to Richmond Magazine for voting us one of the top best eaterys in Richmond.
Pros: Good food, Fast service, Friendly Faces
Cons: Parking

I ate here when visiting my sister. This place has specialty burgers like the Taco burger, the Blue Cheese burger, and many more. The taco burger is like eating a whole taco on a bun. It is awesome. They are also big enough that you can split it 4 ways and share 2 burgers. The fries are crispy and have good seasoning on them, not just salt. They are friendly and fun there, although we usually just grab them to go. It is located on the backside of a street. I ask to go here everytime we visit. Pricing is very reasonable, and well worth it for the size and how good they are. Highly recommend.

My wife and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse in Richmond, VA.
My wife was immediately impressed by our server as she changed our napkins from white to black to avoid white lint from sticking to my wife's black dress.
Flemings has an extensive wine list; however, instead we started off with Manhattans. My wife ordered on the rocks. Mine was ordered straight up and was shaken and served at the table. Both were very good. We were served a complimentary tray of seasoned toasted bread slices and celery sticks along with butter and a tasty spread made with gorgonzola cheese, champagne and cranberry bits. This was a sufficient appetizer so we did not order one. We ordered the Portobella mushroom and spinach salad and requested it split. It was one of the best salads we have ever eaten.
For the main course, we both ordered the 8 oz. filet with a single side of Flemings potatoes. The filets were cooked perfectly. The potatoes were scalloped with additions of jalapeno and cheddar cheese. This combination was excellent and the single side was more than adequate for two.
Dessert was Creme Brule and was a complimentary anniversary gift. We ordered coffee with dessert.
Our server was efficient and friendly. She was assisted by a manager trainee who offered a flashlight to better read the menu and a stretcher at my request in case the Manhattans were a little too strong.
The atmosphere was nice but somewhat noisy. I understand that Flemings is thought to be frequented by business and date clients, but we saw several teenagers and families there.
The tab for our dinner was $103 + tipbut for the level of service and quality of food was worth every penny. The only exception was the drinks, which I thought were overpriced (Manhattan Rocks - $9.50; straight up - $11.00).

I have eaten there several times as I have lived within walking distance. I have never had a single bite at this restaurant which I would consider average.
Its only been 2 weeks since I have come back to Richmond from Villa delle Fornaci in Rome, and it is as genuine as you will experience here (though it isnt closed between 2pm and 7pm).
When you go, get the 6 course meal ($48 per person I think), and get a bottle of wine. Dont expect to be rushed your food. Its not the olive garden, its more traditional Italian paced, where the meal is the nights entertainment. After dessert, when you think your going to explode from all the food, get some grappa, its a digestivo, and is good for stomach.
If you want fast service, hot buttery prefrozen bread sticks, and egg noodles with ketchup and garlic salt... go to olive garden. Im going back to amici, getting my 6 course meal, and getting surprised by the delicious meal the chef created for me, and I'll be delighted as the waiter explains the amazing things Im tasing.
Pros: The entire experience
Cons: I dont get to go enough

We had a small business meeting here. The setting was lovely and people interested in history will enjoy having a look around. I had seafood and my husband had steak. Both were wonderful. The service was excellent. I have recommended them and will continue to do so. However, the prices are a bit steep so be sure to bring your credit card!

What a great place to spend an afternoon -- CMOR has a gated area for small children, a craft room, a changing exhibit that centers around a variety of things from historic events to holidays -- they are even housing Richmond's Legendary Santa now which is a treat for everyone -- The prices to get in just once are a little high but the memberships are well worth it.

I absolutely love Crump park and the adjacent Meadow Farm -- there are two playgrounds which are pretty much side by side -- there's so many innovative and creative playthings for the kids and it's all so colorful and fun --
The only problem with this park is a lack of swings, there are only 4 and I have 3 kids! It's hard to wait that long for swings! Luckily my little girls are generally pretty happy on everything else anyway so it's no great loss.

I love going to this restaurant because the food is great and the staff is friendly! Karaoke is a blast and the drinks are excellent. I usually arrive there on friday night to be welcomed by the friendly staff. I order rib combo, which is fresh, mouth-watering, tender and very tasteful. Also the karaoke is so much fun. Sandy who operates the karaoke is a fun-spirited person who has a wide selection of songs and if she don't have your favorite song for you to sing she'll get if for you. She also has a lovely voice. The managers of this fine establishment are kind, friendly, and strive to give customer satisfaction. I just love this bar and restaurant. This is dining and karoake at it's best!
Pros: Great food Great drinks Karaoke nights are a blast
Cons: Parking

It has not been an Inn in a long time but they are certainly still kickin out some great classics! I just went with 10 girlfriends for my birthday and we shared from their unique demi course menu. The roasted red pepper bisque and fried green tomatoes were the best I have ever had. Then i got the chicken and it was like my own grandma cooked it. So much food and so worth your dollar. Thanks guys!
