Best dinner experience in all of Richmond! We truly cannot say enough good things about Blue Atlas:…read morefood, beverages, happy hour, service, care and overall atmosphere are all unmatched! We have dined here more times than we can count over the last few years and for good reason. Their seasonal region-focused menu never misses the mark. Our all time favorites have been the harissa cauliflower, bao buns, and cachapas. The tacos and rajas con crema, both on the current menu, are spot on! The desserts and rotating specials are all to die for, we've continually changed our "favorite dessert" (of all time, not just from here) every time we try a new dessert - the pistachio pie, polish cake, carrot cake, and most recent the sticky sweet potato cake are all 1000/10 amazing. Happy hour is always fun, great specials, drinks for everyone including fun and yummy NA mocktails. Everything Blue Atlas does is thoughtfully considered and curated. Their service is top tier. Some of our favorite humans to interact with have been Emily and Stirling, but there are so many other awesome humans there whose names are escaping me now. We've never had even a touch of bad service. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough -- a gem of all gems!

Unfortunately parking is always a challenge because of reserved parking so plan ahead and come early if I have a reservation. Lots of steps leading up into the building but there is a ramp for handicap access. Kids were in town so we were visiting all our favorite places. Blue Atlas tapas style variety is always a hit with us. The only disappointment this time was the Elote dumplings. They were basically just corn gnocchi. Not a terrible flavor, but wouldn't bother ordering again. We started with some pretty fun cocktails, and a highlighted wine which I wish I could remember the name of...i think it started with N...It was a light bodied wine with mild floral notes, and a Prosecco feel without the bubbly that went perfect with all the plates. For cocktails, we got tea ceremony, la Siesta, Nicolada. I loved la Siesta and Tea ceremony for their uniqueness and smooth delivery. My son has a sweet tooth for cocktails, which the Nicolada fit but probably a little too sweet for me. For food we got the ever reliable pork belly Bao buns -a bit on the pricey side when you have to order extra to serve a table of four at $6 each, Next the aforementioned elote dumplings, -tacos de trucha which was good but not my favorite, -hanger steak, -Malaysian fried chicken - delicious and a good deal, -shish Barak; unique, and very tasty, -Vietnamese prawn toast, which was delicious , - -steamed mussels- good and enjoyed by most, and the -tortilla Española; solid but underwhelming compared to everything else. Also ordered the Brie special with toast that I loved but some of us got part of the rind which there was a lot of so wasn't as enjoyable for them but the flavors were there. Would've liked a few more heavy protein options but this did not affect our enjoyment of the meal. The hanger steak exceeded my expectations. I'm not always up for steak, but this was done perfectly and well accompanied with a marinated summer squash, cherry tomatoes, and pickled peppers. For dessert we got the ice cream sandwich and the chocolate banoffee budino. They were all out of the Black Forest meringue, so unfortunately, we could not try that. The ice cream sandwiches were a hearty serving and enjoyed by everyone at the table, but I thought the banoffee budino was the best. Unique and very tasty. Would have ordered one to have by myself if I wasn't so full lol.

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.

(chef's kiss). In fact it's some of the tastiest food I've had in any eatery and it's a great pleasure to patronize any establishment that is 100% vegan. I HIGHLY recommend Freckles Feast, a menu item that will be difficult for me to resist ordering every time I'm here. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The guy who took our order was especially adorable. The booths are spacious and comfortable. We were cutting it close arriving just a little under an hour before closing, but the workers were really cool about trusting us to be mindful without making us feel rushed. We moved our meal to an outdoor table when the kitchen closed and it was also nice seating. In addition to the animal-rights activism inherent in the menu, Devil's Lettuce has their political affiliations on display. Lots of signage in the windows, walls and counter lets you know where they stand on current events and social issues. YES: ALL VEGAN

I got the lentil burger, crispi fries, and a local cherry ginger kombucha. Everything was delightful! The burger was unique and had great texture and flavor! The fries were absolutely crispi and seasoned to perfection. The kombucha was a surprise winner, since I'm normally a bit undecided on kombucha. This local fruit mix kombucha has won we over! There's seating inside and outside and the chef (owner?) was very welcoming and friendly. I will be stopping by whenever in the area to try some of the other options. Hope to try another kombucha too!

That cauliflower dish was delicious, it had a good fried batter and the sauce was quite nice with it providing a small spice. The main dishes came out in about 20 mins and the dan dan noodles were great! I liked the chili oil provided as it went really well with the ground beef and noodles. The curry was just average, it was just missing some flavor to it. Staff were quite friendly and the interior was nice. Overall it was a good experience.

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.

I dont drink, but noticed that the drinks were reasonably priced and the bar was small but seemed like a great place to carry on a great local conversation with the friendly bartender.

I think they use ground impossible meat and make it smash burger style to get the crispy crust. So delicious... chef's kiss. Their fries were also excellent. Perfectly crispy on the outside. A bit on the salty side. The Cortez the Killer Salad was good but too spicy with the sliced jalepeno peppers, also the vegan chorizo was a little salty. The strange mac and cheese was vegan and decent but our least favorite out of everything. At least it wasn't too salty. The inside gives casual bar vibes. The cobra decor is fun. Great place to go for some tasty vegan food!

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.

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.

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.
