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.

Scallops

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.

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

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!

Enoki Nashville with a side Caesar and a glass of prosecco.

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.

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.

Brunch menu

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.

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.

This place is a very cure trendy restaurant in the heart of the city. I went with a party of 4, got very lucky and found a quick park on the side street. I seriously was dreading going there because I thought parking would be awful but this day it wasn't. The server we had was really great, just the right amount of friendly and informative. She brought water in these cute little glasses, and brought our entrees out fairly quickly. I tried something new, an Enoki. Nashville, I checked it out here on Yelp first and it looked really good... however, the. Description of it on the menu neglected to mention it was hot as fire. (I had no idea Nashville meant hot as hell) When I tell you this thing was smothered in hot sauce, I mean..... my mouth was on fire. I could tell the sandwich was good, but couldn't enjoy it because of the heat. I was so sad, I wanted to eat it so bad but couldn't. I just ate the fries that came with it. Regardless of this, in would go back simply because the menu looked okay and had vegan options, so I will go back and ask more questions before I order next time.

Amazing!!!

When I say I want a Caesar Salad, this is exactly what I mean!!! Sweet P's is hands down my #1 go to spot in RVA!! Customer service is unmatched! Antonio needs to give classes on what it means to give "great customer service " !!! The freaking drinks were OUTSTANDING!!!!!

Lillian is absolutely delicious. I had the best shrimp I have ever eaten here, served on the…read moreseafood tower my sister and I shared. Every bite was better than the last. They offer a variety of sauces and flavors that really elevate the seafood and make the experience feel unique and interactive. It was such a fun meal to share, comparing each bite and talking through all the different flavors. The service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable about everything we ordered and made great recommendations. The atmosphere is just as impressive. The decor is simple but thoughtfully elevated, and sitting at the bar area feels like you have stepped out of Richmond and into somewhere like New York City. I also love following Lillian on social media to keep up with their latest specials. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves seafood.

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.

I was there for a private event. The crowd was warm and wonderfully mixed. There was a little chat before the event began that basically told us to not get kicked out by being mean or non-inclusive. Not sure how I felt about that. Parking in Carytown is its own contact sport. Come early -- your blood pressure will thank you. I parked 6 blocks away and was lucky to get that. Bottom line: Weird, welcoming, and worth every lap around the block looking for a spot if you're into crowds and are looking for something different.

The charcuterie board we ordered was excellent and a highlight of the night. The location is also great for nightlife. That said, the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the service was inconsistent. We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven. Overall, it's not a place I'd return to, and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more diverse crowd.

A must stop in the downtown Richmond area!…read more It's truly a speakeasy with the door posing as a bookshelf. To get in, you must know the password or tell the host a joke that makes him laugh. We were escorted in and quickly noticed that this was more than a speakeasy-it was a full restaurant. We stopped in for drinks, but it was nice to have tapas. I got the popcorn with the Tequilla lime butter, which was the perfect balance of salt. I had a mezcal drink which was perfect! I'm such a fan of mezcal and am excited when I see it on the menu. Our waitress was a delight-super attentive and also a bartender so she was able to answer all of our drink questions. It was very spacious with outdoor seating. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I would definitely go again!

My son just graduated from AIT school and wanted a good steak…read more We made reservations here since they had several options for reasonably priced steaks. He loved his steak and the sides. It was cooked perfectly. I had the shrimp andouille. It was delicious. We were greeted cheerfully at the door. The wait staff was very good. The restaurant had moderate noise since there was a large party celebrating a birthday. But I was impressed that there were obvious regulars at the bar. The biggest impression they made was calling me after I left a personal item on the seat next to me. While it wasn't something of large value, the fact that they found my number from the reservation and called meant so much to me. Highly recommend
