    The music was great as was the food! We had a work meeting at this establishment and they were great in having us in a separate area to discuss our work related goals. The staff were great and attentive. I ordered the grits with shrimp as my protein and can say I will be going back. The mimosa towers were a hit, with most of our group preferring the mango one.

    Service was slooooooooooww. They seemed short staffed. Extremely short staffed. Fish had little bones and wasn't fried hard enough for ... yes I requested it Grits were a 10! Margarita pictured was a 10.

    I wanted to like this place but I honestly couldn't. It took almost an hour to receive my food. Once I got my food I still had to wait another 5 minutes for silverware. At that point I was ready to eat but I couldn't because my food had so much grease it was inedible. I wasn't charged for it but there is a 20% gratuity added the remaining food. I expect better when the price of each item is $15 and up.

    So glad we ran into Cook Big P of PacQ, at that Buttermilk and Honey. Buttermilk and Honey was the 2nd black owned restaurant we TRIED to patronize for breakfast on a cold Sunday morning, only to receive no greeting, no service, and ultimately walk out! The first and the worst was The Riviera restaurant that morning. Ironically, Cook was a customer at Buttermilk but was the only person to greet us. He even opened the door for us. He saw how frustrated and disappointed we were and when we were leaving, he told us to check out his place of employment, PacQs. Said it was his day off but we would not be disappointed with the service or food. He was right! We were promptly and warmly greeted by 3 hostesses at the door and seated. We loved the variety on the menu, especially the flavored lemonade choices. Their potatoes are bomb and the French toast was not overly sweetened or soggy. The salmon cakes are the closest to homestyle that I've ever had at a restaurant and they were not packed with filler. I have already recommended them to a group of family that will be in Richmond later in the week. We will also return. I wish them success and hope they maintain their level of service because too many black owned restaurants in Richmond have forgotten about service!! It doesn't matter how good your food is or who owns a place, if you can't provide me with a warm and prompt greeting, you don't deserve my hard earned money or time!!!

    Long wait, no server was at the front for about 20 minutes. Multiple parties booked at the same time. It was also my birthday.

The decor and the ambiance are invigorating & soul soothing concurrently. On both occasions I ate in the upstairs dining area & I really enjoyed being able to look out their windows & observe the hustle & bustles of Broad Street while dining. The music that played in the background while we dined was the perfect aural companion to a down home Southern cuisine centered meal. As you know, I love when the music in the restaurant compliments the cuisine & Lillie Pearl's playlist is top notch. During our dining time, we ordered their Smoked Wings as our appetizer. The wings were perfectly seasoned & visually appealing. However, I found them to be a bit dry & overcooked for my taste. My dining companion, however, had no problem with the wings texture. She enjoyed them very much. For my main meal, I ordered their Wild Game Burger[a mixture of Waygu Beef, Bison & Wild Boar] with a side order of Fries. The burger was cooked perfectly. It was well seasoned & juicy. The fries were delicious. They were crispy and also perfectly seasoned. I could have eaten a whole plate of just the fries alone. I ordered a cocktail to complement my meal, the Sweetest Thing. It was bright, crisp & a perfect drink for my food. As for Customer Service, Our server was courteous & attentive & knowledgeable about any menu changes we needed to be aware of. Also of note for me was that I had a reservation I needed to change to an earlier time slot & the staff was able to accommodate my request expediently. I also appreciated the fact that they informed me in advance that they were still on the Lunch menu & not dinner as my initial reservations had requested. I find that type of honesty & transparency refreshing & is definitely one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be a loyal Lillie Pearl customer.

From the host to the server, we really enjoyed everyone! The restaurant itself was cute! It was small and quant but we are used to that living in the city in DC and some of the best restaurants are like that! Now the drinks and food!! For the drinks we had the rosemary martini and espresso martini. The rosemary was one of my favs!! So light and delicious! The espresso was lacking and I'm an espresso martini snob! It was just so watery and was lacking flavor from the espresso! We ordered two kids pizza and a few apps. The fried green tomato's, spinach/crab dip and fried oysters which was a special! The pizza was delicious but the menu doesn't state that they sprinkle Parmesan on top. Both my kids have an allergy so they had to remake it. Once they remade it with no parm it was DELICIOUS! Def get their pizza! The biggest issue was the fried foods. The crab/spinach dip is a must try! It was good!!! But the fried green tomatoes and oysters were not good bc we can tell they haven't changed their grease in ages. They came out super dark and tasted burnt due to the grease it was cooked in. I worked in a restaurant for ages and can tell! If they had fresh grease it would have made a ton of difference! I'd love to come back and try it again but only if they have improved how they cook their fried food! If you're just looking for pizza and cocktails, this is a good recommendation!

The cucumber sandwiches were on brown bread??? The chicken salad sandwiches were bland and boring and were served on regular thick white bread. The desserts also lacked sparkle. The best were the tiny chocolate mousse tart, and the tiny rectangular fruit tart. The macrons were delicious and probably the best thing about the tea. However, the rectangular fruit tart did not have an expected glaze of apricot jam as is traditional. There were two cakes. One was chocolate, which was very fudgy and moist however, it really could have used a pinch of salt to bring its profile up to delicious. The other cake was a slice of either apple or banana??? Flavor so faint I couldn't tell. Neither of those desserts had frosting so can they really be called cake? There was a sugar cookie but I gave it to My friend so I can't speak to how it was. There was this little chocolate thing that was difficult to ascertain what it was supposed to be. I think it was supposed to represent hot chocolate with peppermint and marshmallows, but despite the peppermint and the tiny marshmallows, it was lackluster. The entire experience could have improved with printed menus with descriptions of what we had. There were two teas offered, the Jefferson and the Richmond blend. I had the Richmond blend. It was so splendid that I ordered some from their supplier. Overall, I was terribly disappointed. The beautiful venue had a slight effect on improving the overall experience.
