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.

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

Got to give it 5 stars. This is a place if somebody if someone is visiting Richmond, you tell them…read moreto go to. I've only been 3 times in 6 months, so I am far from a regular. 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.

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

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 ended the date with the chocolate pistachio mousse tart. It was really good! The honeycomb on top was super cute. Definitely recommend coming here for a date night. Also we just moved back to Richmond and it was definitely a nice "welcome back" date night .

We had a wonderful dinner at Rowland last Friday night. We showed up ridiculously early for our…read morereservation and had four instead of three but Derrick was able to accommodate us. He provided wonderful service throughout the evening. We started out with butter bean cake and calamari. The calamari was really tender and not chewy like some other places we've been. I love the butter bean cake, it has delicious flavors that combine to make the perfect bite. For dinner we had the NY strip, pork chop and bison burger. Our guests loved their bison burgers, I had the NY strip and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly and really tender. My boyfriend had the pork chop, if you read my reviews you know I'm not a huge fan of pork but they must marinate it for hours because it had a delicate flavor which complimented the side dishes. One little complaint, it was loud. We're old and can't handle all the noise.

Lovely dinner at Rowland on a dreary May evening…read more Atmosphere: cosy, intimate, with tables spaced nicely for conversation. Drinks: well curated list of wines by the glass with reasonable prices for bottles. The martini was excellent! Food: hit or miss. The butter bean cake appetizer was yummy. The bean cake was soft on inside, crispy on outside, with a tangy tomato avocado salad. My husband got the Brussels sprouts side as an appetizer. The Brussels and pancetta were delicious, but the addition of a few green beans seemed off. For entrees we had the hanger steak with chimichurri and the signature pork chop. The hanger steak was dish delicious, but came out of the kitchen lukewarm. The pork chop was a disappointment. The pecan crust was so heavily seasoned with cinnamon that it was hard to taste the pork. The chop was cooked perfectly - tender and juicy. The Mac and cheese was a bit watery and bland. The complementary bread service was excellent - warm, crusty bread with good olive oil and roasted garlic. Even with the "misses" on the food we enjoyed the evening. Rowland is great as a neighborhood restaurant but I'm undecided if we will make a special trip to go back.
