First time trying this place and it was for a meeting I was attending…read more Pros: order was correct and the food was plentiful and fresh. Cons: it was just sort of lacking flavor. I tried 3 sauces and the cilantro was the best one. The tahini and the miso ginger were not to my liking. Understand that for a group of people with different dietary needs this place fits the bill but I wouldn't be rushing to go there the next time I am in town, as it was not my taste.

I was very disappointed because i really wanted to like this one in Morgantown. The ribs were dry,…read moresalty, and very spicy. The sauce that comes with it is horseradish sauce. I wanted to start with the mac and cheese. I was told they weren't doing that anymore because its too hard to "keep" in the back. But it is still on the menu. I ordered the lucy salad, and they added chicken without me asking. I am a vegetarian and they also didn't take it off the bill. Fries were served cold. The ambience is very disappointing. It is VERY loud inside, there is nothing in the restaurant to absorb sound. So it is hard to talk to anyone at your table if there are more than 3 parties inside. The tables were small and wobbly. The chairs were hard, uncomfortable, and small. The restaurant is mostly tables with chairs like this so there is no where to put your purse but on the floor. We ordered a beer and they handed us a tall can with no glass. We had to ask for a glass and they didn't pour the beer for us. This was the manager, might i add. I will not be going back here.

Their famous short rib egg rolls were a bit burned on the outside so a bit dry on the inside. They did have a very good sauce served with them that pretty well covered the flaws. We also got the sweet potato corn bread. It was tasty, but fell apart just a little too easily. I had to eat it with a fork. The risotto that came with my duck leaned a little too far to the mushy side. The duck itself was really good. My niece had the salmon, and she had no complaints. She said she had the leftover last night as a sandwich and that it was delicious. Service was excellent. No notes.

Went here when I was in Richmond. Our waitress was amazing. I wish I could remember her name…read more She answered a lot of questions and was very knowledgeable. The chef even made adaptations in my meal to make it vegan. The cauliflower steaks with rice were amazing. The spices were just right and had a good amount of heat. It was very busy but service was fast and friendly. There is upstairs and downstairs seating and the historical pictures on the walls are so interesting and look at.

Our entrees were equally as tasty. I ordered the salmon and it was done well! My only personal preference would be to swap the green beans for the collards next time--the green beans just weren't cooked quite the way I prefer. That said, everything else was really enjoyable. Overall, a great meal at an equally great price. We were pleasantly surprised to walk out for under $65 without ordering drinks. Definitely felt like a great value, and we'd happily come back!

We ended up at Lunch Supper for brunch and I can see why people like it. The space is nice and…read moreclean, they have a great outdoor area, service was good and timely, and everything came out pretty fresh and hot. Food-wise, I'm a little torn. I got the Shorti Bowl, which is eggs and meat over cheese grits. It was good but I just wanted the cheese grits to commit a little harder to the cheese. The meat itself was good too, although it did feel a bit like a piece of meat had been plopped in the middle rather than everything really coming together as a dish. My husband got the sandwich with basically the same kind of meat, and somehow it was both a LOT of sandwich and not a lot of sandwich at the same time. It looked impressive as a Katz's-esque pile of meat, but once you actually got into it, it was mostly meat, bread and pickles. I kept expecting some sauce or another topping to show up and it just...didn't. Also a little unwieldy to eat, although I guess that's part of the territory when your sandwich is 70% meat. I think Lunch Supper sits in a funny middle ground between classic diner/brunch food and a more modern version of it. Nothing we had was bad, but for some of their more popular dishes I guess I expected a little more oomph if that makes sense (and yes I tried adding hot sauce). I'd still happily come back with friends, especially to sit outside. I just think I'd be coming back more for the vibes vs the food.

Honestly no complaints at all here. Goatocado is a little counter service/kiosk ordering restaurant…read morewith both outdoor and indoor seating. They are clearly very big on sustainability with their compostable take out containers and utensils. I didn't realize when I first got there that they have a more limited menu in the morning comprised of only two meal items: breakfast burrito and breakfast bowl. However, despite this I feel like the food was great! First off, the portions are literally enormous. I came away so FULL n had enough leftovers for two extra medium sized meals after. The sauce is great, the food is nicely cooked. It feels healthy and well balanced without sacrificing flavor. I dont know how any of their other bowls are but the breakfast one is pretty solid and I don't normally appreciate traditional breakfast foods all that much. Generous amounts of everything including avocado in the bowl.

Came for lunch. We…read moreordered the tofu japanese wrap and chicken thai bowl with chili oil (extra) on the side. The portion sizes are huge! We could have easily split one meal, and had to take leftovers home. The food itself was flavorful with a bunch of fresh vegetables and ingredients. The proteins were prepared well. We ordered chili oil on the side, but it wasn't very spicy and more fragrant. I was imagining more of a umami chili crisp and would skip next time. Service was fast, we received our meal in under 10 minutes. There is seating both indoor and outdoors, and ample street parking nearby.

Amazing, we loved our vegan sandwiches at Union Market!…read more It's a groovy spot with outdoor seating on a patio (mostly/partially shaded) and indoor bar/eating area. They also have a little grocery section with a good selection of wine, beer, chocolates, and other basics. They also have a good variety of menu of options that can cater to plant-based folks like us - we opted for the vegan TLT and vegan mushroom philly and both delicious! The flavor profiles were pretty on point, but the sandwich bread really stood out - they had just the right crunch-to-soft ratio The staff are also lovely - they helped me pick from the options and were very knowledgeable about the menu - good vibes all around and definitely worth stopping by if you want to enjoy a casual meal with great food and drinks. Pro-tip: you can also order to-go and walk over to the Jefferson park to enjoy an easy picnic with a stunning view of the city

I have always wanted to try Chopt and think I may have just ordered something that was not for me. They have a variety of wraps, salads, and warm bowls. They were quick to help and there was a lot of seating available. It's great for takeout too. They have single gender neutral stalls that you have to ask the front a code for. I wanted a healthy option for lunch so came here. The bowl felt a bit too drowned in a sauce that wasn't my taste. I hope to return to try something else on the menu

This place punches well above its weight class. There were a couple things that really impressed me…read moretonight. The food first of all was incredible. Some very tender octopus, the fries are perfect for dipping more on that later. And the meatballs were great, but that Caesar salad salad is truly amazing with all of the seasonings and their homemade Caesar dressing. The fact that they make all of their sauces in house, I give a nod to the chef for that because they have some incredible sauces. One of the things that really impressed me was the fact that I ordered the fries and the waitress asked if I wanted the sampler sauces. I was thinking that that was going to be an additional charge, but I was wrong. The sampler was included with the fries and that came with about five or so of their homemade sauces. The Caribbean bean chili was my favorite, but I also enjoyed their ranch and lemon aïoli as well. They were really all great. I just want to give a shout out to pinkies for not nickel and diming the consumer when so many other restaurants and chains do that. I will be back off of that level of Customer Service service alone. I was also very impressed with the portion sizes. When you hear Tapas that typically means high price, low quantity of food. But here I feel like you actually get what you pay for. I was very impressed. A place with amazing food and a good bang for your buck is five stars any day from me. Thank you for an amazing dinner.

Really good Mediterranean food! The food exceeded our expectations. The service was just okay. Here…read moreare some of the pros and cons! The restaurant has ample seating both indoors and outdoors. We dined here twice in one weekend because of convenience and the food being good enough to repeat! We did not have reservations either time, and we were seated right away. There was space for our stroller. The inside of the restaurant is like a big garage, and it's quite loud (but our baby likes the loud noise). Outside, they have big umbrellas to provide some shade. Highlights from the menu include the grilled octopus, caesar salad, meatballs, and desserts (both cheesecake and olive oil cake). The meatballs were so tender and saucy. The octopus was cooked well, and the seasoning was great. The only dish we didn't love was the scallops. The scallops were overwhelmed by the accompanying chorizo in the dish. The server we had the first night was not friendly or warm. It seemed like she did not care to be there. But there were no mistakes or major issues. We enjoyed Pinky's, and it was a good choice for brunch on a busy weekend and for dinner without a reservation. I'd recommend checking it out.

Around lunch so…read moreslightly busy-located downtown and street parking only didn't have any issues finding a spot right in front. We ordered sandwiches. House made Pastrami was delicious-go with the 1 lb (buy the pound) Pastrami sandwich -at least 2 if not 3 sandwiches in one. Corned Beef was also tasty and some of the best we've had. Latkas and Dill potato salad hit the spot but the Garlic Dill fries stole the show-one of a kind and not to be missed. For dessert, we saw they had Hamantaschen and got one of each-both very good with rich fruit spread topping. Service was engaged and patient (given our questions and recommendation requests) as our order was being placed. An extensive menu with everything from Beef tongue sandwich (Jewbano) to Chicken Liver as well Hot Dogs and Smoked Salmon and Whitefish. We wanted it all! Liked the atmosphere and decor with booth and bar stool seating. A must stop when visiting Richmond!

My daughter's friend, who is Jewish, had recommended it. We were told there was a 25 minute wait, and we were told we could hang out at the store next door.

My wife had the chopped chicken liver appetizer and the potato latke appetizer. The food was very good and the service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go again. They close at 3 pm and are NOT open for dinner.
