But for a casual hangout and for seafood lovers this place is a solid option! The crab hush puppies & spicy honey butter were absolutely delicious, & cooked to perfection! I was really looking forward to the crab melt but I think it was a bit too cheesy. it could make a great sandwich instead of being open faced though. The service was decent, & everything was out quickly.

There was no one to the right of my table of 3 and only one other table seated. On my tables 4th drink and after having appetizers and desserts to share, the host came over and said, "I know this is a bar but please be quiet and keep it down" I have paid $120 for snacks and drinks and I cannot be loud? Also being asked as the only table to quiet down when another table next to us began talking with us was rude and not thoughtful to the patrons who are here to enjoy and no one complained from the bar(the only other people seated). If we need to remain quiet when coming into a LOUD restaurant please let me know at the door and I will evaluate whether or not I want to actually support the business. I doubt this came from anyone but hosts or perhaps another wait staff, however, it was disrespectful to patrons and costumers coming and splitting a $300 tab. Thank you

We stumbled across this spot last Sunday when every other "popular" restaurant had hour-long…read morewaitlists. Though I'm grateful I was able to walk right in, I'm actually pretty mad this restaurant did not have a line out the door as well! When you approach from the sidewalk, there's a cute little patio/deck with umbrellas that you can eat at. But when you walk in, it's a beautifully designed, industrial style restaurant with exposed brick everywhere and the aesthetic alone is beautiful. If you appreciate decor and architecture, you'll appreciate East Coast Provisions. Now let's get down to the food. My partner and I both had the crab cake sandwich and both agree it's the best crab cake we ever had, and we've had our share of crab cakes. You definitely get your money's worth because they are not stingy at all with the crab meat. The flavor was 10/10. Portion and assembly, 10/10. We also had espresso martinis and I will say they were also not shy at all with the alcohol lol

With that being said, I have gone with large groups so I've gotten a little taste of a variety of things from people not finishing their meals. It's got good versatility, but most importantly it's got an excellent cheeseburger. I did give the title to slack Tide for the best burger, and now, I'm unsure. After my Fat friend Sam whiffed on Slay Burger, I decided to give him another chance. I actually did some chatting with the nice bartender at the Richmond airport about Slayburger. She was also underwhelmed. But back to the cheeseburger at East Coast. This is a difficult cheeseburger to describe to where it's not a burger you can't really put down. It's not one you can split with a wife or girlfriend without a potential divorce or break up on the horizon. It's one that you can get to go, and you feel like you made the right decision. It's a different type of cheeseburger.

I've been wanting to dine at The Roosevelt for quite some time, so I was thrilled when I happened…read moreto call right after 5 PM and the hostess told me they had two tables available. 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!

Lemaire is the restaurant located inside the historic Jefferson Hotel. If you've ever been inside…read morethe Jefferson, you know how beautiful and classic the hotel is. The restaurant matches that ambiance, and is a lot bigger than you would think it was. Also, it has private parking, just make sure you get your parking ticket validated at the restaurant. My friend treated me to a belated birthday dinner. Upon arriving, they provided a custom birthday menu, which is a great touch. This place is fancy, as in special cutlery and plates. Even the way they serve the food and the bread was fancy. But even with the fanciness... the service was great and everyone was very kind. Now to the food and drinks... The drinks weren't all that. I think they just weren't what we were used to. The bread and butter were delish, but who could say anything bad about fresh carbs and butter. They have daily special and one of them was the soft shell crab. The crab was huge and was really tasty. This was my friend's first time having soft shell crab and she really liked it too. For my main entree, I chose the roasted red snapper. Again... this place js fancy so other than the snapper, I wasn't really sure what other ingredients were in my dish. Nonetheless, it was all delicious. I finished the whole plate, which is uncommon for me. I want to add that it looks like they rotate their menu items so they might not always have the same dishes on their menu. I also wanted to note that, unless they are very well mannered or are older and appreciate fine dining, I would not suggest bringing your kids here. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night, celebration, or anytime you want a fine dining experience.

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.

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.

For dinner, I had the crab pasta, and it was easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had anywhere. There was plenty of fresh crab, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. My husband ordered the chicken paillard and loved it. It was tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The cocktails were fantastic, and the wine list had a lot of great choices. It's clear they put as much thought into the drinks as they do the food. The service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. Acacia Midtown is a restaurant that deserves a spot at the top of your list. We left already talking about what we'll order on our next visit, and we can't wait to return.

Looking around at the staff and patrons gives me the impression that while I'm not welcome here, antiquated biases clearly are.
