Our waitress was really nice. I did the Baked Goods cocktail and they did the Old Fashioned cocktail, all was really good. For food, I did the BLT with fries, my sister did the hot dog, and my friend did the Nasty biscuit. It was all so good! We even got the 7 layer chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert which was really rich but good. They had a live band which was cool playing smooth jazz.

Appetizers: standing ovation to the pork belly. Everyone at the table was blown away. The gnocchi bolognese and blue crab linguine were absolutely delicious also. Dinner: the pork ribeye blew me away with the flavor, char and tenderness. 10/10. The beef filet was really good and solid but if you are looking for something outside a traditional box, order something other than the beef tenderloin. Again, perfectly cooked but, in my opinion, it is included with to satisfy those who want and steak but it doesn't showcase the chef's passion....as a certified steak lover and defaulted even though I was leaning towards the pork or chicken....I got a great meal but nothing like the pork rib eye. Desserts: sticky toffee pudding OUTSTANDING. The sorbet was way too sweet. Now service and atmosphere: service was incredible, kind, engaging, and attentive. I wish I remembered his name but he is a local kid and really did an amazing job. Atmosphere: we sat on the porch and loved it. It gives you this relaxed homey vibe with food that really is Michelin quality. A not to be missed restaurant.

For dinner we had the mountain trout and honestly it was the best trout I've ever had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The angus steak was also absolutely mouthwatering. By the time dessert came we were already full, but still couldn't resist the sticky toffee cake and the chocolate bread pudding, and I'm glad we didn't skip them because both were amazing. Everything was rich and satisfying without feeling overly heavy or leaving us bloated afterward, which I really appreciated. Our server was so sweet and attentive the entire night, and the interior of the restaurant is cozy, charming, and just really inviting. Definitely recommend and we'll absolutely be back every time we're in town.

Atmosphere: 5 Menu options: 4 Taste: 4 Portions: 2 Price: $$$ Service: 3 Walking into the Quirk at the holidays is so fun, and much like the Richmond location, the decor was fun and on point. We headed back to the restaurant and started with the Pink Grouse cocktail to continue the good vibes. I would definitely recommend it if you like vodka based cocktails. Let's talk menu. So there were several good options including a vegan and vegetarian, plus they were amenable to holding the blue cheese on the salad (allergy) which I appreciated. They separate it by starters and sharing optional entrees. We decided for 3 of us to go with 3 starters and 2 entrees. Starters: we ordered the bread, cured beef and salad. Y'all there were 3 tiny slices of bread and butter for like $4. Not okay. The cured beef has 5 tiny slices of meat for like $13. Not okay. The salad was the most generous, but still not huge at $14 considering they know it will be shared; I will say it was my favorite of the starters flavor wise and would order it again though. So as you can see, not impressed. Main: we decided on the lentil ragu ($22) and gnocchi with pork ragu ($26). Both were on point. I would happily order either again, probably opting for the lentil out of preference. The portion was okay, though again for calling it shareable I thought it was a bit small. Service: I respect that the server took our request for more time, but she was not attentive or following up on us for refills. I ordered a glass of port for dessert (no go on the dairy meant no options...) and I didn't get it until after my friends had finished their dessert. Not cool. So I guess I'm feeling generous with my score because I was in good company and isn't that half the point of eating out?

And roasted golden beet salad that had spinach couscous, the beets ,pickled onions, shaved apple ,Feta cheese, pistachios with a sumac vinegar that was delicious. I'm still trying to replicate it. And I had the turkey trot sandwich, which was so good .One of the things I saw on the menu was an apricot chutney with carrots and the waitress brought me a complementary little side to taste it. It was so good. We had a really really nice dinner here.

It's dark and moody, with lots of candles. I believe you can also enter through the back. Restroom was very gross... but other than that, a great experience.
