At the Overlook at ChildSavers, you get stunning views of the city from the perfect vantage point. The site is perfectly flat and has gorgeous views for miles, well, most of the way.

Overall, however, great spot with lots of space for a nice event, and a goooorgeous view of the sunset and the painted city sky. What a nice place for a special event.

Don't be confused by the name, The Valentine. This 19th-century home was purchased in 1898 by Mann Valentine Jr. who added a museum to the property and renamed it The Valentine. My visit was part of a dual tour with the John Marshall House (treason trial of A. Burr). The tour started promptly at the appointed time, and we began our tour of the home. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Wickham house, the family and the history of that time. Her tour was much more than a simple recitation. She brought the home to life through her descriptions, easily fielded questions and encouraged discussions. We all gained a clear picture of life at that time as well as the role that John Wickham played in history. The house is kept in beautiful condition with many examples of how the family lived, from clothing to imagined food out on the table. I was truly impressed by the beauty of the home. After the tour we were able to meander through the museum that is a part of the property. It is an interesting stroll through Richmond's history from the early 1800's to the present. I would definitely suggest a visit here if you are a history fanatic. Check out your options for parking before you get here (I parked in one of the local garages and spent about $15).

The staff was top notch, welcoming and attentive., The upstairs was warm and inviting (proper distancing and masks on) with two covered patios off the main dining room and bar overlooking Main Street and the new huge patio down stairs on the 17th St market side. We got cocktails at the bar and the gracious owner walked us downstairs to the large patio. He explained his plan (already in motion) of making a deli with bar and seating in a portion of the downstairs space, very cool. We sat on the patio with friends and enjoyed watching all the foot traffic around the market as well as a jazz duo (trombone and singer) on the corner. Now, the best part...Dinner. I had a classic Reuben, the GF had a Chicken salad croissant and our friends had a stuffed Hanover tomato and a pastrami and swiss on rye. The pastrami is done in house and was like nothing you will find locally, unbelievably tender, flavorful and perfect. Everything was super tasty, a good time was had by all and we look forward to more evenings on the patio and when they close Rosie Connolly's is right next door so...bonus. :)

Anyhow I will certainly avoid the place in the future. And hey to the rude lady... How about some private function signs!
