    Piancone wrapper from pizza
    James S.

    The bizarre experience at Brambly Park started right at the host stand. Despite having a reservation and the restaurant having numerous empty tables, the host actually checked our IDs to prove we weren't lying about our name. I've had reservations in major cities around the world and have never been ID'd for a table--especially not at a casual spot like this. From there, they automatically tacked on a 20% service fee for essentially a DIY dining experience. Once the server dropped off our food, she disappeared completely, leaving us to fetch our own drink refills and making the automatic markup feel entirely unearned. The food was just as low-effort. My bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was basic and came with no hot sauce options. My daughter's kid's spaghetti had a watery sauce that slid right off the noodles. The pear and prosciutto pizza was basically a lackluster flatbread, and it even arrived with a torn piece of a Piancone wrapper sitting right on top that the server completely missed. To finish it off, we had to switch tables immediately because our picnic table was filthy underneath, complete with bugs crawling up through the wood planks. Between the weird host interrogation, poor hygiene, lazy food, and unjustified fees, I'd highly recommend spending your money elsewhere.

    My work had a holiday gathering here one afternoon after work. I had never been but it was really nice! There is some dedicated parking and the rest is street parking. We used the space upstairs but the entire place looked nice and maintained. The beer, wine and food provided was good! I will definitely go back on my own!

    Brambly Park is a wildly popular place. It's located down a road that gets darker and more private as you drive there... Until suddenly you've arrived. Parking is sorta everywhere, but this place gets packed! It's a mixed concept here, with inside dining, a bar area and then outdoor spaces your can reserve that have great lamps to keep you toasty while you mingle. I attended for a private event. The food was overall good. The charcuterie was yummy, especially the prosciutto! Shrimp cocktail was awesome as well - big pieces, fresh and perfectly cooked. The veggie ravioli were a bit meh. Veggie springrolls were crisp and tasted good, but I have no idea what was in them. Our bar service was a little hiccuppy. Sometimes drinks came out fast, sometimes they never came out. That part was mixed. The heat lamps work great here. You will stay so warm outside that you won't even need your coat. I was basking a bit. Overall, it was a fun night with good food, drinks and a cool atmosphere.

    Ugh. I keep giving this place another shot because it's a great concept and cute space. However... every time I come here, the service is just plain bad. Everyone seems to have an attitude and seems bothered by being there. Even when it's not very busy, the service is slow and inattentive. The prices of the food and drinks are on the higher end (despite being very average at best), and it's just not worth it to have a fairly unpleasant experience every time.

    Great venue...we came here for a company outing. This huge event space in Scott's Addition had indoor area and covered outdoor seating and was nicely maintained. A mix of casual industrial with a hint of elegance as the chandeliers took center stage. The good service was not overshadowed by the excellent food and wine. We ordered pizzas and a lovely charcuterie board. More than a winery, this is a great event space that offers music festivals and good vibes!

    Atmosphere, food, cocktails, everything exceeded expectations!! Including our wonderful server Trey! He was quick, bubbly, and was able to answer any questions we had!

    Bari Trattoria at Brambly park was a nice experience for our last minute dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived 15 min before our reservations and were sat immediately. There were a couple hiccups in our service but it made sense as it was vday weekend and we were properly accommodated. We ordered off the date night menu which was an amazing value and a great reason to try out the restaurant at Brambly park. The outdoor dining could've been a little warmer but it made sense for the weather. I would recommend trying out this place for yourself if you are in the area !

    This was our first visit to the restaurant and the ambience and server Brie were fantastic! Brie made us the best old-fashioned and tequila with orange juice cocktails! Brie suggested trying the pizza and the Italian Chopped Beef sandwich with truffle fries. We tried the Americano pizza and it was fresh and tasty with pepperoni and cheese it was a true classic! The Italian Chopped Beef was full of delicious flavor it was moist and juicy! The steak was succulent and cooked to perfection!

    My job had an outing here yesterday, and I'm glad I went and got to experience this place. My favorite part was the outdoor seating, I'm so glad we chose to sit outside. It did get a bit chilly as it got darker, but it wasn't too bad. We stayed out there from 6 PM until almost closing time. I definitely plan on bringing family and friends here in the summer, I'm sure they'll love sitting outside, enjoying a meal, and just relaxing together. I was a little nervous about parking, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Since we went during dinner time, I didn't see a lot of the menu items I had expected. Before going, I had seen pictures of people ordering wraps, burgers, pasta, and more, but I didn't see them listed when I got there. So, I ended up just ordering the parmesan truffle fries and a Shirley Temple. Almost all of our drinks were mostly ice with just a little bit of actual drink... lol. The truffle fries were good, though, and they came out in a timely manner. Staff were nice and helpful. I'd love to come back and try more from the menu next time!

    Mommy daughter date, why yes we love them! @bramblypark offers an amazing "date night" deal for $45 which includes your choice of starter (or dessert), a bottle of their wine and a choice of two entrees, Tuesday-Sunday afternoon 7:30p! We opted for the baked feta and pita (which is outstanding alone), 4.5/5, their Pinot Grigio 4.6/5, rigatoni and pesto with grilled chicken (which they add for free btw) pasta cooked perfectly, sauce was tasty (4.2/5) but the chicken was a bit bland 2/5, chicken Milanese , chicken again was bland (2/5) but the dressing on their arugula, fingerling potato and green bean was spectacular 4.7/5 and yes each element paired well! Not to mention an amazing staff and the vibe was perfect! A little crowded (we parked on the street) but they were able to accommodate us! A treat we had, I want to go back and try more dishes!

We entered and were greeted with " do you have a reservation" in a very un-inviting tone. We both said no. If she said follow me, it was faint. We knew to follow her. I should have walked out !!! The Restaurant was practically empty !! Maybe a total of 20. We walked up a small ramp that lead us to a larger dining area where we saw a few guests. At our table standing was a youthful warm smile waiting that made us feel ok to stay. I overheard someone calling the name of the woman at the door, and they said Patricia. Our server's name was Jocelyn and she was very delightful. Our server made suggestions and explained that most of the pasta is made in house. Still observing and listening. OMG, the woman is the manager. Mam, I'm sure you will be pleased to know that we will NOT return. She walked by several times smiling and conversing warmly with other guests. This is an authentic looking and a bit dated Italian Restaurant. I'll be brief here. I had the spaghetti and meat sauce. The pasta had that obvious taste of homemade and the sauce as well. The bread was homemade with the potential to be good, if it was warm and soft, not crunchy. I had the salad packaged to go. Appetizer was fried zucchini that was golden brown, crunchy and flavorful. RVA has MANY Choices of restaurants to choose and I should've known better.

Very old school with no online reservations which is not super convenient but hey I can get behind it if they are going for an exclusive vibe. Very much an old style Italian restaurant but feels like they have really packed the tables in here - like sardines- so yeah it feels a little tight for my tastes. Service was friendly and helpful. (Making the reservation over the phone was not overly warm and fuzzy but hey I get it you probably are tired of having to take reservations over the phone all day lol). We got a popular app- the squid,white bean and arugula which was bright and flavorful so lived up to the hype but a little disappointing in that there was not a lot of squid so $18 for beans and arugula seemed a bit much. Also got the seafood bisque which was pretty tasty. For entrees we got the halibut, the monk fish fra diavolo and the spaghetti with crab meat. The spaghetti with crab meat was shockingly good. It better be for $40 but I don't always like crab bc it can be overly fishy in a not good way but this entree was very good. We also liked the halibut- nice piece of fish perfectly cooked. The MonkFish had a nice flavor, but the bones in it was a little bit overwhelming, and kinda made eating a lot of work. Seemed pricey to me since only one of us had a glass of wine and no other drinks, but I guess $50 a person sans cocktails and dessert is the new norm?!

    I'd heard amazing things about Lost Letter for a while and I was so happy we got to visit recently…read more We went for a special occasion and it felt like the right vibes we were looking for. The menu is small but feels very curated. We started with the bread, fried olives, and squash escabeche. Even something as simple as the bread was so tasty. We each kept a piece to eat with our entrees. The flavors in the fried olives and squash dishes were awesome. For dinner, I got the gnudi and my husband got the cavatelli. We were both so happy with our choices. We made sure to have room for dessert and the caprese cake and gelato were incredible - not too heavy but super delicious. We were also impressed with the service - they were all very friendly, cleaned our tables and refreshed our silverware between courses, and refolded our napkins if we got up to go to the bathroom.

The weather was a balmy 72° at 6:30 PM and slightly overcast which made the patio the perfect place. A very serene setting for a sophisticated meal. I highly recommend the patio, but you need to plan way in advance. Even on a Wednesday night. And definitely get there early because parking is a bear. I don't mind the walk, but anybody with mobility challenges, might find it tough to get there on time unless they can get dropped off. For cocktails our friends got a very swanky bottle of white wine by Cinque Terre. My husband and I got mixed drinks : the Italian stallion and the ciao fantasy. Very different experiences, but both very good. The Italian stallion was complex yet refreshing and the ciao fantasy was complex and smooth. For appetizers, we got the beef tartare and the Borlatti farro verde. Again, both very different but equally delicious. The tartar obviously more a protein forward appetizer that had a smooth richness brought out by the egg and the well chopped beef. The extra sourdough was a nice touch. The Borlatti was the perfect starter for a spring evening and I actually enjoyed it more than my entrée. It has a lightness to it, but also richly satisfying, especially with the sourdough. For the entrées, we went back to our favorites from last time which was the cavatappi and the rockfish. I enjoyed the cavatappi more but I was trying to get more protein and less simple carbs so I stuck with the rock fish. This time the fish was not a great piece and had very little edible protein because of the bloodline running down the center of it, so for $38 it felt a bit stingy because I needed more of the fish than the slightly over spiced rice and sausage. Did not feel like a good choice for the evening. I did not finish and went back to my appetizer to satisfy any hunger pains left. Definitely disappointed that there was no specials for the evening and a lot of the menu seems pretty similar to the last time we were there. Also seems like fewer choices at least for the small plates. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and again really enjoyed the atmosphere. However. Everything seems overpriced these days but even though prices haven't shifted that much at LL on this occasion, $172 after tax but before tip seemed a bit much for Richmond. Feels like everything is a few dollars over what the price point should be especially if it's not done to perfection. We will probably go back but not for a long while bc of price but also because of menu options. There are several restaurants in Church Hill that bring more bang for your buck.

At least Dinamo's is on a corner, so there are a few parking options. We managed to get a close spot, thankfully. The restaurant was bustling and buzzing with life when we stepped in. There was no hostess stand, so we hovered around the entrance awkwardly, wondering where we should be, waiting for the fast-thinking servers and bartenders to find us a spot. This is likely due to the limited seating space, and it works until your party is larger--definitely call ahead if that's the case. We were seated at a two-top in the crevice between the bar and the kitchen. The aromas of the smoke-filled room captivate us, our imaginations conjuring different dishes. We quickly received our waters, place settings, and menus, as the servers dutifully helped each other where they could. I decided on the brocoletti (noodles that look like onions) with beans, sausage, and polenta. My partner ordered the plain white pizza. We received some complimentary bread as we waited for the meal. We used the olive oil, salt, and pepper at the table to give it a little pizzazz. My dish arrived scaldingly hot, so be careful with the polenta especially. The beans and sausage were perfectly seasoned, with the brocoletti noodles taking on the flavors of the dish's other ingredients. The white pizza was punchy, the parmesan being the star of the show. The crust was soft and chewy with a bit of crisp. We boxed up half of our meals, leftovers to enjoy again later, and we opted to try the chocolate tort with the cherries and cream. The cherries should not be optional here, IMO. They take the dessert from beautiful and delicate to decadent. The chocolate tort was delicate; the cherry glaze and depitted cherries pushed my taste buds to their limit. It is a simply wonderful concoction; hence the reason for forgetting to take its photo (remnant plate and spoons pictured). Our experience at Dinamo's was fabulous from beginning to end. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a curated American/Italian menu (with some seafood specials mixed in) lovingly cultivated by the chefs. I look forward to revisiting Dinamo's in the future to explore its other specialized menu items.

We ordered a beet and fennel salad - and now, that is a salad. The beets were fresh (I've had canned beets in salads before but this was fresh), and the fennel was crunch, mild, and texturely satisfying in contrast with the soft beets, the dressing was well coated but not drenching the salad. Could have eaten the salad all day but then the entrees came: Squid ink fettuccine with calamari and shrimp -- it was so fresh I could not eat it for a few minutes, massive entree, fettuccine tasted like it was made in house, so flavorful and rich Sausage with polenta -- my first time trying polenta in solid form, tastes a bit like if rice and corn combined, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sausage was good too Also the complimentary bread was excellent, crunchy exterior soft interior, especially dipped in the pasta sauce Recommendations: making a reservation (you have to call), we made the mistake of assuming it being a cold rainy Sunday, we could do a walk in at the bar, but ended up walking in the rain for about an hour - well worth the wait Affordability: ~$25-30/entree Ambiance: it's pretty small and easy to bump into people on accident, but very cozy ambiance with deep red color theme Service: great, no issues! Good for: date night, celebration, when you just want good food
