I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Riverside Tavern on Forest Hill Avenue…read more I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus to go for $23.00. When I opened the container, I was shocked to find that the salmon portion was barely larger than my finger. It looked more like a sample than an entrée. I have attached photos because words alone don't adequately capture how small it was. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have ordered this exact meal before while dining in with my family, and the salmon portion I received then was easily three times larger. So this isn't a case of unrealistic expectations--I know what this dish normally looks like. I called the restaurant to express my concern, hoping they would make it right. Instead, the bartender responded with, "The portions are cut how they are cut," as if that somehow justified charging full price for such a tiny piece of fish. When I asked to speak with the owner, I was told, "You won't be talking to the owner. I'll just give him your information." There was no apology, no offer to replace the meal, no effort to address my concern--just complete indifference. If portions have been reduced, customers should be informed before paying premium prices. If this was simply an inconsistent serving, then quality control is seriously lacking. Either way, charging $23 for what amounts to a nugget of salmon is unacceptable. I used to enjoy Riverside Tavern and specifically ordered this meal because I had a good experience previously. Unfortunately, this visit--and especially the way my complaint was handled--has left me questioning whether I'll be back.

It turns out we had been here before, and I'd completely forgotten the experience until we arrived…read morelast Thursday around 7 or 8 o'clock. The parking lot is small, and there is a pothole in the alley near the parking lot entrance that will bottom out an SUV. Apparently, there is additional parking, but we didn't see it in the dark. The restaurant is cozy, Hawaiian-themed, and clean. We were seated within moments of entering the host's periphery, and received menus and ice water within minutes. I had the poke bowl last time, and I remember it being chilled and gently flavored. The avocado and spicy mayo did a lot of the heavy lifting. It was filling and very healthy. My partner enjoyed the Ipanema Sandwich last time we visited. This time around we snacked on the fried halloumi (fried cheese and mint yogurt dip) and Lumpia, taquito-type beef rolls, with sweet and sour dip. We absolutely demolished the coconut cream pie for dessert. The pie was so delicate and lovely that even my partner enjoyed it, a typical coconut detractor. I recommend Little Nickel to anyone looking to try something unique and ambitious that veers from the well-trodden culinary path. The staff here were courteous and helpful, the restaurant was clean, and the food was firing on all cylinders.

My thing is if there's cute cocktails, you got me. Hook, line and sinker!…read more I decided to check out little nickle for dinner. I love the ambiance, it made me feel like I stepped out of Richmond and into a tropical vacation. This cute neighborhood restaurant is serving up what they describe as "tropical dinner". They have dishes from all over. Super cute decor and overall 10/10 aesthetic. We ordered some drinks. I thought both drinks were pretty good and strong. The food was what I could describe as "okay" We ordered the Lumpia and I've never had lumpia before but it was okay. My partner ordered the nickel burger and he thought it was good. I ordered the poke and I was not a big fan. It was a lot of food but overall the flavors and everything mixed up just did not do it for me. Otherwise. I'd come back for the drinks, ambiance and maybe appetizers but not a fan of the actual entrees.

The atmosphere provides a modern bohemian vibe, with plenty of unique art lining the walls. We enjoyed talking about a few of the pieces near our table. I ordered the pork chop and grits, while my partner got the fried chicken sandwich. We both took home leftovers and enjoyed those the next night, too. The hush puppies were amazing, if you like that sort of thing. Our entrees came out warm and tasted delicious. The appetizer came out before the meal, which is always appreciated. I recommend Laura Lee's to anyone who appreciates a cozy, bohemian vibe. It's a great place to talk and get to know someone, or even to hang out with the girls, I'd imagine. Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food abound.

I am trying to be fair in this review but am struggling to find any part of the experience that was…read moregood to offset the bad. Here's my best one - Great root beer. We had tried to make reservations for a group visiting from out state but were not allowed to by the reservation. Should have taken this as a sign that groups are clearly not wanted nor welcome when arriving. The staff tried everything they could to make it an unpleasant experience once they were assured of an automatic 20% gratuity. Petty things, such as forbidding the movement to another table out of the sun, when there were many other tables available. I left early after being chastised for loving a chair but the family decided to stay. They shared that the crappy service continues the entire time they stayed. Those that are reported that the food was fair at best. Not sure that this sorry excuse for service is a great business model. Perhaps it is saved especially for large groups. Either way it would appear that the just do not care. Stay away.

This is my favorite gas station in Richmond. I always thought it was just an Exxon, but it seems to…read morebe an Exxon and 7-Eleven combo. I come to this one because it always seems to have the best priced gas in the city. There are eight different pumps to go to so one is always open. It's a pretty standard gas station experience, but I love that it's easy to enter my card and that there aren't ads screaming at me. If you're looking for good priced gas, come here.

Not sure what more you could want from Chinese takeout. We will definitely order again.

Oh and when I called, there was no offer to refund or replace maybe with something different.

But on my visit here recently, as soon as we were seated, I saw a roach go up the wall. No one else in my party noticed, but I did notice an employee try to swipe it away. Within 10 minutes of that, a big roach crawled right across the middle our dining table. It was absolutely gross! And to see two within a few minutes of each other tells me there's an infestation problem there. I normally wouldn't think too much of it , but this was really gross and really soured our dining experience. We were constantly on the lookout for others. If your pest control company is not doing an adequate job, get another please! I hope one day I'll feel up to trying here again as I've been going for years.
