    French toast with turkey sausage
    Shanita F.

    I came here for a birthday brunch on a Saturday with a friend. We sat at the bar, which is pretty cute, and there are also plenty of tables lining the back wall. If you're sitting toward the front, there's a nice window to look out onto the street (Sidenote: it's on a very busy street and requires parallel parking.) The waitstaff was friendly and nice; you know, attentive and engaged in small talk with us. For food, I ordered the breakfast potatoes, which are the fried potatoes cubes. They were a bit too salty for my taste. I also had the sausage, which was pretty good--it was more like a sliced almost hot-dog style. I got a side of jam for my bread, and it was pretty good. This place is pretty decent overall.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday while we were staying in Richmond. Sweet P's is a cute little restaurant in downtown. Service was great - our waitress was super attentive and friendly. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. Would highly recommend this place.

    Double smash burger and sauteed vegetables
    Mike ..

    I am going to say some things, and I feel like you may think you know what I mean, but you really need to experience it for yourself to truly understand. The biscuits and gravy were scrumptious, seriously delectable. I wish I could more adequately describe what I mean. Once that warm pork gravy touched my tongue, I knew I had made the right choice. My mouth waters even now simply thinking about those buttery, flaky biscuits. (I reheated my leftovers in the skillet, and they were just as tasty) The server was attentive and kind, also she gave solid tips on what to order. Clearly an experienced young woman. The restaurant accent walls in the nook where we sat were a bright mint color with some attractive wall art and hangings. I overheard the bartender speaking to a patron that the art is from a local Richmonder. (It is very intriguing) The atmosphere was calm in the morning around 11:00, and the brunch vibes reminded me of a cafe white noise playlist. I forgot to take pictures, but we all had a blast while we were there. Everyone liked their menu selections. Dinner update: We came back for dinner about a week later. I ordered the Peruvian Chicken Fries for our appetizer, and for an entree, I tried the Double Smash Burger and sauteed vegetables. The burger was okay. The flavor was nothing like the brunch items. The vegetables were fantastic, as were the chicken fries. The Peruvian dip accompaniment was mouthwatering. We used it to dip some fries in to great effect, too. There are some servers who are much better than the others. The woman who helped us at brunch was extraordinary. Tonight's server was less on top of things, and all in all, she did okay. She seemed less experienced, so I'm sure she'll improve in time. I recommend that you must try this place if you are a breakfast or brunch fan. The dinner selection is okay. I very much prefer the morning menu is all.

    Scallops appetizer
    Jiyeon K.

    The chicken fries needed more salt but together with the green sauce was phenomenal. I recommend skipping the chicken fries and just order a side of the green sauce to go with your french fries. I also tried their scallop appetizer which was delicious, but the pork belly was a miss and did not work with the rest of the dish for main dishes I recommend in the seared tuna. The brisket sandwich was a miss for me.

    Not just another restaurant ~ Sweet P's brings flavor, food, and ambience together so nicely. I absolutely loved the Brussels we ordered for appetizer My friend says the Smashburger was delicious. The vegan enoki mushroom sandwich we ordered was a little overcooked the first time but when they redid it there was some improvement. The fries are top-tier. I love a hand cut Fry. The scallops are an absolute must have... although they have changed seasonally by now they were served with an incredible Pearl couscous and I couldn't have combined flavors for this dish better myself! The meat in the braised short rib sandwich was cooked to perfection, but might've benefitted from being served au jus - it just needed a little more flavor. The service is just great and cocktails are perfectly balanced and refreshing! I've actually been craving the food since I walked out the door...so home run, Sweet P's! Another cheer for Black owned RVA!!

    Crabcake sandwich
    Abbey W.

    Will absolutely be returning to Sweet P's! My boyfriend & I got a reservation for Sunday Brunch and we had a great meal. Our server, Bre, was warm & made thoughtful suggestions. The light & airy aesthetic or the space also contributes to good vibes! We decided to split the hummus & Brussels small plates as well as the crabcake sandwich. All bites were absolutely delicious. The sandwich had jumbo lump crab and the seasoning on the Brussels was perfection.

    Sweet P's RVA... 10/10 vibes! I kicked things off with the Brussel sprouts, and let me tell you -- they did not come to play. Crispy, flavorful, and a healthy portion... totally shareable (but I didn't share a single one lol). For my main, I went with the Enoki Nashville, and whew -- it's got some serious heat but sooo much flavor. I balanced it out with the Caesar salad on the side. The dressing was chef's kiss, and I would've loved to throw in some anchovies for that extra kick. My friend got the Smash Burger with fries, and umm... I may have "accidentally" eaten half of their fries. They were seasoned to perfection and honestly addictive. The music was on point, the energy was cozy and welcoming, and everything just hit. If you're looking for a spot with great food and good vibes, Sweet P's RVA is it. Definitely coming back!

    My bf longtime friend recommended this place to meet him for brunch and he did not disappoint. The mimosa set came with champagne, 3 juices and some fruit to add for $25 for the whole set. There was 6 of us, so we ordered 2. I got the vaquero omelette and maybe because I did no onions and peppers, it wasn't as flavorful because majority of the omelette was just egg and cheese. There was not a lot of chorizo throughout the omelette. The fruit was good though. My friends got the biscuits and gravy and crab cake sandwich and my bf got the short rib hash. Everyone said their food was really good. The star of the show was the Brussels sprouts. They had Thai chilis and some type of sauce or glaze that made it sweet, savory, and spicy. It was so good. Probably the best Brussel sprouts I've ever had. Our server was very sweet, we really enjoyed her. I'd give this place a 8/10.

    This new business was super cute and quaint. It's nestled just along Broad St, and while parking front and center isn't quite possible, there was plenty of parking about a block away on the neighboring streets. The vibe here is made up not just from the cute colorful pastel-esque decor, but come on playlist too! For a small business, I could appreciate the intention to have everything on brand. The restaurant definitely cozy, probably no more then 8-10 tables, if that, but perfect for small groups of 2-4 people. I didn't know that it was Brunch only on Sundays, which was cool. I opted for the crab Benny and wow, that baby was pure crab meat, zero filler. It was perfectly cooked (I asked for my egg slightly over easy with minimal run and they easily nailed that to perfection), and the home fries were the perfect side. My date got the short rib, and that was tasty, but a little too heavy for my liking. I was a happy belly, filled kinda girl the rest of that Sunday. So thank you Sweet P's for serving up love on a platter and good vibes! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon, and actually eyeing some things on the lunch menu.

    Nashville hot enoki
    Ashley R.

    We came in for RVA's vegan food week and we were not disappointed. It's very clear they have a real chef here. I got the Nashville hot enoki sandwich (on their regular menu) and I do NOT eat mushrooms but this was wonderful. My partner got the vegan braised short ribs (oyster mushrooms) (vegan special of the week) and the flavor on the sauce was amazing. They have several mocktails. The cinnamon breeze was great! Our waitress was attentive and informative. And it's so cute inside. Clean and cozy.

    My fiancé and I love Sweet P's. We come here about once a week. It's a place for all your senses. The food is delicious, the music is incredible, the green decor is soothing, and the presentation is stunning. We've been for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Everything you order is bound to be delicious. Here is what I've tried so far with my favorite dishes in order: Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Absolutely delicious and generous crab lumps in these crab cakes. There is a wonderful kick and the sauce is amazing. It comes with a tasty side salad. Roasted Beet Salad I typically don't like ordering salads out because I like the ones I make at home, but the presentation and variety of this salad is just so yummy. I adore the goat cheese mousse on the bottom and how well the arugula and beets compliment it. Short Rib Sammy The first thing I've ordered here and a fan favorite. Absolutely tender, melt off the bone meat with a side of great fries. Double Smash Burger I stole a bite from my fiancé and really enjoyed it. He devoured this. Classic Breakfast My fiancé's go to brunch order. The turkey sausage is incredible and juicy. Basic breakfast, but really good. Breakfast Smash Burger Comes with a nice runny egg, good option for brunch. Roasted Chicken Sammy My friend ordered this and loved every bite. I'm more of a dark meat girlie, but the flavors are really good on this. Vaquero omelet I haven't tried this, but my bestie has ordered this twice when we've come for brunch she likes it that much. Sweet P's is the best. Antonio, the owner, is a part of its charm. He's a renaissance man, every time we talk I learn something new and incredible about him. The main thing you need to know is this man can cook. I highly recommend coming to Sweet P's.

    Got too excited and started cutting before the pictures! Mushroom wellington for V72
    Chandler S.

    I don't know if there is a word to represent that feeling when you climb in the bed, sheets fresh out the dryer, and sink a little bit. We'll, whatever that word is, that's how I felt taking a bite into the mushroom wellington during V72! I frequent Sweet P's often. It's my go to spot for people out of town, or returning. I've hosted my own birthday here, as well as a bridal shower in their upstairs event space. It's where I go hang out between festivals and events in the summer. Where I stop after a long day at work and my stomach is touching my back. Where I go just to stop in and say hello. Sweet P's is a culinary experience that I'll choose every time! The Brussel sprouts, scallop pallea, octopus and crab cakes are undefeated!! To my foodies who love scratch kitchens, this one is for you!

We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.

    Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere.

I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.
