    Iron Skillet Cornbread
    Venessa M.

    I was skeptical about the cornbread because it had zucchini in it but I must say that it was really good especially with the honey butter that topped it. I was torn between the miso halibut and truffle bucatini. The bartender recommended the halibut and it was a really good recommendation. The miso complimented the halibut very nicely and the vegetables, specifically the cauliflower, were tasty. Overall the food was delicious but the service was just mediocre. They weren't rude or bad. The service just didn't match the upscale environment that I was in. If the service was better, I would've given it 5 stars.

    We arrived around 8pm and parked on 6th and Broad with two open spots out front. We walked in through the Marriott front entrance and were greeted by a kind and enthusiastic host who seated us promptly. We had our pick of high-tops or traditional seating and chose a booth (the superior choice IMO). The ambiance and atmosphere felt modern and classic with a touch of ostentatious flair (the bird mural and columns up front were gorgeous). I prefer a curated menu and Fall Line keeps it simple. There are options for most people here. We ordered the skillet cornbread to start. C'est magnifique. We ordered from the sharables menu: the barrata, grilled cauliflower, and burnt ends. The barrata was the clear winner, followed by the cornbread. The burnt ends tasted fantastic, yet were too fatty to enjoy fully. Some constructive feedback: The cauliflower was a major disappointment; it needed additional time on the grill and more sauce to boot. I felt the barrata should have included one extra pair of crustinis. The apricot mostarda was divine, though. They don't carry a sour beer, so my partner and I did not partake. All in all, Fall Line Kitchen was a lovely experience, and our server Satya was a pleasure as well. As we exited, the kind host offered to take our picture in front of the light-wrapped columns. What a gentleman. I definitely recommend bringing a date here to enjoy the cozy, intimate setting, as you gaze lovingly into one anothers eyes, take in the exceptional views, and experience all that its surroundings offer.

    Nice! I'll keep it short as I stopped in for a quick decaf coffee + crème brulee before bed and the Fall Line was the perfect pitstop. Our server was kind and dessert and coffee came out quickly. Cheers!

    I've been to Fall Line twice. Once on Thanksgiving 2022 and also earlier this week with a couple of friends. My friend booked a regular reservation not realizing that the Fall Line Express, their holiday pop-up, had its own reservation link. We asked if we could move into it, and they said no, even as I was looking at Open Table and saw a reservation slot open that I could book for 20 minutes later. Our server told us that it wasn't accurate and to disregard it. Later on we popped inside to peek and it was half empty, so I feel like ultimately she just didn't want to move us. Regardless, the food we had was pretty tasty, on par with somewhere like Burton's, I'd say. My friends had short rib and harvest salad, and they both seemed to enjoy them. The short rib I heard was very heavy on mushrooms. I ordered the burnt ends app with a side of fries. Both were good. We also had some drinks - I chose the cokee cokee, a Puerto Rican eggnog, which was just okay. They were out of the chocolate cocktail when we tried to order that, so we opted to go on elsewhere for another round. For both visits, this week and 2022, I made sure to order their gooey butter cake. It is so stupidly good -- hands down the best thing on their menu. Don't make a trip to Fall Line without ordering that. I'd honestly go back just for that dessert and a glass of wine sometime. To be clear, their holiday pop-up IS the bar area and mostly closed off from view in the regular dining room, so you'll definitely need to book it to get a seat. It was much more festive looking, as the dining room was pretty dark with a lone Christmas tree. Once we popped into the pop-up, a kind server offered to take our picture with the backdrop and ensured we had the best lighting -- above and beyond! They also had a cute little self-service photo booth area that we took advantage of. Also of note, the restrooms are pretty far away from the restaurant, past hotel check in and the escalator, tucked away. This wasn't a cheap visit, and it probably won't be first in line for a return visit for me, but I enjoyed myself enough for a Monday evening during the holidays. Edit - note to management: If you're going to use AI responses, at least try to remove an em-dash or two. So cringey.

    The Fall Line is a bar and restaurant located in the Marriott Richmond. I've dined here for breakfast, dinner and had drinks at the bar area. Service is pleasantly attentive and very friendly here, both at the bar, within the restaurant and from the host. It's a cozy atmosphere and prices are surprising reasonable for a hotel restaurant. The avocado toast was deliciously prepared. Nicely seasoned, not garlicky, crunchy today. Really good spread of avocado. I got some perfect over easy eggs with it too. The mixed berries was a small portion, but they were fresh. Coffee is good here - seemed better than the Starbucks nearby. My server was super attentive and it was overall a great breakfast experience. At the bar and lounge, drinks were poured with heavy hands and didn't disappoint! Plenty of bourbons to try here! Overall, this is a great place to check out for food and drinks.

    The food was great and our server was amazing. We had the pleasure of receiving great service from Gabrielle. She had great recommendations. She was very knowledgeable and kind. I had the Chicken with string beans over mashed potatoes and it was amazing. Gabby is definitely someone I hope to get again as my server. I also would like to give a shot out to Jesse the manager working that night. She helped me find a great wine to select and her energy was great. I'll definitely be back.

    Unfriendly and unprofessional. We arrived on a warm, beautiful October Monday during lunch time (12 pm). Their patio outside had the heater going on (with a flame in the middle). Yet they told us the patio was not open and our dog was not welcome. We researched online before coming here. That waiter was clearly lazy and lying. He could have easily accommodated us. Why did they turn that heater on outside? Just to waste energy? Perfectly nice patio right there, and we were turned away.

    Foot happy hour. The fritters are delish. Perfect for a staycation as it's in a hotel and the vibe is super cute. The ambiance is great. The happy hour is only at the bar but you can get service to the surrounding tables.

    Late night menu
    Tymeia T.

    I tried the double cheeseburger off the late night menu. It came with fries. It was actually really tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend adding wings to the late night menu (it's a bar and wings and the bar go together like milk and cereal) The ambience of the bar is nice and mature. I would eat here again. I think the price point for the late night menu is reasonable.

    First time here. Started with a cocktail in the Lobby( it is in the Marriott property). Went to the hostess and was offered a seat in the middle of the restaurant. Nobody there at 5 pm on a Saturday. Uh.... Can I sit somewhere else? So I thought... this will be interesting. Once seated I was greeted by Jada. Ordered a cocktail and the crab hush puppies. Oh my they were delicious. Generous portion . On to the main course... Shrimp and Grits. I must say... the Grits were some of the best I've had. Creamy, corn and jalapeños. Just a tad of a bite. Wonderful. Service was wonderful and I would absolutely return.

    Booked a reservation on Open table and they wouldn't honor it. Host and hostess were incredibly rude and turned us away.

    Beef Bolognese Rigatoni
    Matthew V.

    I ordered the Beef Bolognese at Fall Line Kitchen & Bar and overall, it was a solid choice. The dish came out fast and was plated nicely, with rigatoni cooked just right. The sauce was rich and hearty, but I found myself wishing it had a bit more depth, maybe a touch of spice or a bolder flavor profile to really make it pop. Still, it was comforting and satisfying, and the portion size was generous. If you're in the mood for something classic and filling, it gets the job done. I had to order a dash of chili flakes on the side.

    Lump Crab Hushpuppies

    Free valet parking for the restaurant which was great as I had to circle a few times restaurant before to find parking. Walked in greeted and seated immediately . I can't remember my waitress name but as busy as she was tending tables and being a bartender, she checked on me the whole time. The guy pictured nor once stopped at my table but I did see him stop at everyone else's and thought that was strange. Either way I was only here for a festive cocktail and appetizer and I got what I wanted. Not over the top Christmas decor but still felt very festive, elegant with dim lighting and sparkly lights! Add to your list of Christmas stops !

    Are there any kids menu items?

    They didn't have a written menu, but offered us some kid friendly items. My daughter (7) decided to go with the French Onion soup and I shared some of my app and entree with her, so can't speak to the quanity or quality of the kids menu items, but… 

    Are reservations required?

    Is their a specific dress code? I know it's an upscale restaurant but just want to be sure. Thanks in advance for any responses.

    No, there isn't. It's a nice spot so I wanted to look casually nice personally when I visited.

    7 out of 5 stars. Yes, I said 7…read more So I went to Mama J's after scoping it out on Yelp, and let me tell you something: Richmond, we may have a problem. I have found the food. I initially walked into the market next door, which is actually great because there aren't a lot of grocery stores nearby. Then I headed over to Mama J's on a Monday afternoon. The place was teeming with associates doing all kinds of things, which I actually loved. I was seated quickly and started looking around. It was comfortable and familiar, even though it was my first time there. Then my server greeted me, called me "baby," and suddenly I felt like I had walked into my auntie's house. Okay. We were off to a good start. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and some catfish nuggets. Now, I knew I was in the right place when my server brought me TWO glasses of the most perfectly made Arnold Palmer. Two. Glasses. Start the happy dance. While I waited for my food, I looked around at the old photographs and magazine covers featuring Mama J's. It all made sense. The restaurant felt familiar because it felt like somebody's dining room. A place that has history. A place where people have been eating, talking, laughing and coming back for years. Then my catfish nuggets arrived. HOT. Golden. Crispy. When I tell you I did a happy dance... I ate those catfish nuggets with a knife and fork, humming to myself and saying, "This is the best catfish I have eaten in my life." And mind you, I eat out at least twice a week. So I ordered the crab cake sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. We were not particularly focused on vegetables because my server could not promise me the collards and cabbage weren't cooked with chicken broth. It's fine. I didn't really want my vegetables anyway. Then my plate arrived. HOT. I ate that macaroni and cheese and literally had to rock, hum and say to myself, "Woo. This food is good." The crab cake sandwich and fries were so good that I immediately knew some of them were coming home with me for lunch tomorrow. Because I may love food, but I also believe in planning ahead. Now let's talk about this crab cake. First, the brioche bun was EXACTLY the right bread. I am not a sliced-white-bread kind of woman. I need a brioche bun sturdy enough for the remoulade to hold onto. And then there was the crab cake. Enunciate that K. Fresh crabmeat. Maryland could NEVER. I know, I know. Maryland swears they have the best crab cakes. No ma'am. No sir. The best crab cake is sitting on Clay Street, about a mile from the James River, in Jackson Ward, the Harlem of the South. And the fries? HOT. You know that perfect fry: crispy on the outside, soft in the center? Yeah. Those. At this point, I was full and getting sleepy at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. But apparently that wasn't enough because I ordered some potato salad to go so I could top off tomorrow's lunch. Because priorities. I left Mama J's full as a tick. Came home. And promptly took a several-hour nap. That is how good this meal was. Mama J's, you have officially set the bar. 7 out of 5 stars. I am going back. And, quite frankly, they are going to get sick of seeing me. Richmond, if you haven't been to Mama J's, what are you waiting for?

The next family in line included 2 elderly women and a baby all dressed gorgeous, they also were told they had to wait outside in 105 weather. After about 20 minutes of waiting, (I was just going to tell them to forget it) they said our table was ready. Well, instead of inside with AC as we requested we were seated in a gazebo porch area that they claimed had AC. By this time we were so desperate for cool, we didn't argue that we had requested INSIDE not whatever this room was. It ended up being like sitting in a tuna can. So uncomfortable, my husband and bro in law just went and sat in the car with the AC blasting. Waitress was sporadic to put it nicely. Meanwhile, back inside the booth across from the hostess stand was still empty. Food was fine. But I don't think this place will be around much longer.

The cabbage wasn't really for me either because it had a sweetness to it that I didn't love. The yams, however, were good. The catfish bites were also really good--crispy, hot, and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was *chefs kiss* delicious. Mashed potatoes were decent. I also tried the Soul Food Roll, and I really enjoyed it. The outside was perfectly crispy, and the duck sauce was really good. My only thought? Add some mac and cheese to that thing and you'd really have something. My biggest hesitation with eating here regularly is the portions. The plates are BIG, and when you look at the ingredients all piled together, it gives "that's easily 3,000 calories" energy. I'm not saying it actually is, but that's definitely how it looks. As someone who likes a small waist, I don't feel like I need all that every time I go. Now, the ambiance? EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Southern Kitchen is absolutely beautiful inside. It's one of those restaurants where you could easily dress up and have a really nice date night, celebrate something, or bring a group. Even the bathrooms are fancy, so they clearly understood the assignment. The food is good, but for me, the atmosphere and drinks are what really make this place stand out. I'd absolutely bring a group here or come for a date night. Service was also great. Our waitress checked on us often even though that place was jumping when I was there. I would highly recommend giving them a try.

    We had the pleasure of visiting Croaker's Spot while in town from Northern Virginia and stopped in…read morefor an early dinner. From the moment we arrived, we had an amazing experience. We were warmly greeted by a lovely hostess who ended up being our server, Jamila, I hope I spelled her name correctly. She was truly one of the best servers we have had in a long time: attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great suggestions. She checked on us often without being intrusive, and her customer service was exceptional. When I mentioned that I did not care for the mac and cheese, Jamila immediately offered recommendations for another side. To our surprise, the chef even came out personally to apologize and brought me a fresh serving of mac and cheese. The replacement was much better! That is what I call going above and beyond to make customers happy. The food was delicious. I ordered the catfish dinner with collard greens and candied yams. The catfish was moist, fried to perfection, and seasoned just right. The collard greens were flavorful and well seasoned, while the candied yams reminded me of my grandmother's homemade yams sweet, comforting, and absolutely delicious. The portions are huge, so you definitely will not leave hungry. Between the wonderful hospitality, outstanding service from Jamila, and amazing food, Croaker's Spot gave us a memorable dining experience. We will definitely be back!

I let her know my husband and I would be there within 10 minutes, and I'm so glad we made it! We started with the chicken wing appetizer and two cocktails, and everything was absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we decided to share the cheeseburger and catfish, and both were superb. The cheeseburger was cooked perfectly medium and loaded with all the yummy additions, paired with crispy, delicious fries. But the catfish was the true standout! Served with buttery rice and tomato gravy, it was hands down one of the best entrées I've ever had at a restaurant. The flavors were incredible, and every bite was delicious. Our server, Cat, was amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and provided wonderful service throughout our entire meal. From the food to the cocktails and exceptional service, our first experience at The Roosevelt was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

It's a historic place that used to be a boarding house that became a drug store then restaurants. Ambiance was casual. Service was very good. Our server Louise took good care of us. Food was delicious! I love the grilled Albemarle peaches. Perfect for this weather. Mix of sweetness and saltiness from cheese with some spice from chili oil. It was so good. The crispy pig tail was also wonderful. For the entrees, we got grilled pork belly and butter braised half chicken. The chicken was creamy, tender and very flavorful. The pork belly was soft, flavorful and really went well with the grits and collards. Our desserts were also heavenly. The miso banana panna cotta was light and very good. My favorite was the chocolate cloud semifreddo. The cold semifreddo and the warm strawberry preserves definitely complemented each other. I love this place. Will definitely be back!

We were also very pleased to learn about the origins of the place from its hospitable owner-what a great team! To start the brunch experience, we went with traditional mimosas-very nicely poured and refreshing! My mom and I ordered the shrimp frittata and my boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs. The shrimp frittata was delicious! Beautiful presentation but even more beautiful balance of fresh flavors. The potatoes were an added bonus and the fresh pieces of fruits on the side topped off the meal. Might I mentioned that this was a very balanced and filling meal. My boyfriend enjoyed his steak and eggs, and while he felt that the steak was a little small in cut, he was surprisingly full at the end. The bread basket was an added sweet treat to breakfast! Overall, we had a great time.

Some tables have different set of chairs from others which some may find more comfortable than others. Sonoma meatballs were tasty.

Our server knows the menu inside and out. Great service.

    Today my wife wanted to get some fish and I was already down with the plan. We went to our spot…read moreSugar's and we were the first in line and had a short wait no more than 20 minutes since they started serving people. I ordered the just fish that comes with ten (10) pieces. Yes count them 1, 2,3,...10. Just like the Count on Sesame Street. Everyone is locked on right. I paid the money and the guy at the counter charged me for how many? Ten (10) fish pieces. After my short wait, my order was ready. The guy at the window showed me the fish looking golden brown and delicious. Hot piping hot. I said they looked good and ready for liftoff. Got to the car and my wife and I were happy at the time. After several hours and other stops we made it home. We live in Baltimore Md. A short 4 hour ride away. When my wife had unpacked the food and she asked me did I eat any fish? I said No? If I had she would have killed me before the plate got cold. She said that then they (Sugar's) did not give us piece number 10. The Boss was not happy and neither was I. Now I don't mind paying for delicious food and will do again. What I do mind is paying for fish that does not appear on my plate. I felt RIPPED OFF! If someone in the back of the house can't count to ten (10) and your employing someone who doesn't know how to count to 10, I am wondering what else is going on in the back of the house. Advise 1) Moving forward I will ask them to count them before accepting the finished product 2) Don't buy the Onion Rings. My wife does not care for them and she is an Onion ring person. Let's do this again but I'm bring the Count with me and the number 10 JUST TO MAKE SURE WERE CLEAR!

I pulled into the parking lot and this place has a unique setup. All the tables are outside similar to checkers. The place looks like it belongs in a dessert or South of the Boarder based on the color which is odd as well. They take your orders at the walk-up window. When I originally arrived, I didn't see much business but while I waited for my food the cars were pouring in left and right. My hopes for the food increased. There is a menu on the outside that is somewhat difficult to read and navigate. A ton of options with some whopping prices. I ended up ordering the 1 Snack and Fries. I wanted something good but also light as I had another place in Richmond I wanted to try. $14.99 seemed good until I saw this bogus, Local meals tax on top of the state sales tax. This caught me off guard. I ended up waiting in my car for about 20 minutes and later heard my name called over the microphone. The gentleman showed me the food, and it was 3 large pieces of fish. The fish was delicious. The fish was Cooked well, and I could taste the flavor. Way more than I expected. Tartar sauce elevated the flavor. The fires were piping hot and good as well. I wish I had some ketchup, but they were still good. I loved that they were salted but if I had high blood pressure I should have stayed away. You can see the salt on the fries. They were good to me. Overall if I were in Richmond again, I'd definitely stop. The food was good. I would definitely try more options. The customer service was good. The cashier and food distributor were on their A game. Outside could use some love and care but it is what it is.

It's a short walk…read morefrom the Hilton, and right in the middle of other shops, restaurants and a church across the street. We were seated at a wonderful spot right at the front window facing Grace Street, ideal for people watching and a nice setting overall. Our server, Jennifer was quick to approach and offer drinks and menu suggestions. I had the scallops accompanied by a very tasty potato rosti, fennel/apple salad and fried pork belly bits. It was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals I've had in a while. I was drinking iced tea, which came with a little mint kick to it - I no longer drink alcohol with meals, but they appear to have quite a few creative cocktails as well. While this is likely a higher end restaurant for the area, I found the price averaging about $70 per person all in, including drinks, tip and tax to be quite a reasonable value overall. With wonderful service, incredible food, reasonable prices, and a beautiful dining room, this is certainly a place that I'd revisit again when traveling through or to Richmond.

We picked this place for dinner based on its proximity to the hotel and we are so glad we did because it was fantastic! One of the best meals we have had in a while. The ambiance was also very nice with soft music and candles. The menu offers a handful of appetizers and a handful of entrees. They all sounded good but I decided to go with the petite filet mignon. It also came with smoked cheddar scallop potatoes, honey glazed baby carrots, and a port wine demi. All of it was delicious. My husband had the sumac dusted scallops with potato rosti, smoked pork belly, and an apple fennel salad. It looked and tasted great. We also received a complimentary corn muffin that tasted great. Service was fairly quick and professional.
