    Visiting Richmond for the Half Marathon this weekend. Stopped by The Daily on Cary St. Funny enough, I lived here for a couple years in my 20s and this place was only about a 40-minute walk from me--no idea how I never came before. The host/server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Broccolini to start and the Glazed Salmon (with jasmine rice, ginger bok choy, kimchi, gochujang glaze, sesame, and scallion -- GF). The salmon was excellent: a bit salty, but really flavorful, and the kimchi + glaze combo worked great with the rice and veggies. Broccolini was solid too. Overall, quality meal and good service. Would definitely return when I'm in the area again. Last visited: Nov 13, 2025

    Daily kitchen has incredible food, and a wonderful atmosphere. However I have found the service to be extremely inconsistent and very slow. A few times have been stellar but a handful of times we've been left waiting an unreasonably long time for food.

    Popped in for quick lunch before walking through Carytown. The place is very modern and airy with the patio open. The highlight was the baked feta, pistachio, figs spread appetizer. I could have eaten that again as my meal. My partner got the white cheddar BLT and I had the Mahi Mahi Sandwhich. The fries were very crunchy and delicious my sandwich was huge. Was not able to eat everything but we would definitely go back.

    The service was great. I think based on the star rating people don't migrate to this place like they should...but I personally loved it. They say us down quickly, our service was kind...the place had a good vibe. It was clean! Very accommodating when it came to our food. Our food can fast and was hot and delicious. No complaints here. Absolutely loved my salmon!

    Came here for brunch with some girlfriends, let me start off by saying this place has the best Brussels sprouts in all of RVA and possibly the world. They are so delicious, it's literally my favorite thing on the menu. I don't even care that it makes me gassy, I will eat the whole plate without sharing with anyone.

    Brunch is only on weekends, got it. I came here once last year for Easter and I remember it being good. The service and the ambiance is the same but the food quality has drastically declined. So disappointing. I ordered the exact same thing that I ordered the last time I was here. The buffalo chicken wrap, would you imagine there is no flavor of buffalo in this wrap. The chicken tasted like it was either frozen or taken out of a can. It lacked flavor, it was Chewy, it was gross. Everything else tasted like soggy and watery. It literally tasted like the kitchen staff ran the contents of the wrap under water and then packed my wrap, the way how everything lacked flavor. Incredibly disappointing. The sweet potato fries also came out, majority burned/crispy. Mind you, it's a Monday. It's not very busy. I ordered a latte, that tasted like straight hot milk. No taste of coffee or espresso. My waitress never checked on us after bringing out our plates so I didn't get the opportunity to address the taste of my coffee. My partner got the hot honey pizza, that was incredibly flavorful. He liked it a lot. So the one star is for that. Bill was $65+ with tip.

    We love the daily! I came here a few times over the years but the last time we went, we really enjoyed brunch. There's never been a long wait for a table, even when busy, and the inside is so cute with its trees and green moss, making it cozy and relaxing. I love all the vegetarian options so I never struggle to find tasty food. The brunch selection was great, and my omelette and potatoes were very filling!

    Came here for a friend's Birthday brunch. We were a group of 12. The birthday girl liked that she could make a reservation ahead of time. Our seating situation was a bunch of tables pushed together so one side was all booth and the other were chairs. About 25% of our group ordered the crab omelet and practically licked the plate clean. Everyone enjoyed their brunch. I got their bread pudding French toast and enjoyed it. The flavor was nice and I liked the berries on top. The serving was really big for me so I shared with my friends. I also got the chai latte, which was a bit on the sweet side, but I still enjoyed it. I had been here once before with my mom and partner for dinner. I can't remember what we ordered, I think it was a fish dish and bowl. I found it to be pretty good. We had also sat on the patio which is a nice space. This was a great spot for a big group. The large windows were a huge plus. I also appreciate all the green here.

    Back in 2018, shortly following a surgery, I knew I had to eat something bland and landed at The Daily for the first time. I ordered the mahi mahi, which I recalled being bland and boring, and subsequently did not return until December 2022 on a whim. I didn't know what I was missing. On that visit, and several visits following, I've had amazing food, great service, and tasty drinks. Both their cocktails and mocktails are top tier. For food, I've had the burger, the white pizza, and, several times over, the caesar salad. It may be my favorite caesar in Richmond. It's that good. I've also had their spinach and artichoke dip, which is pureed, and surprisingly incredible. It came with a perfect proportion of pita, too. When I want a decently healthy meal, The Daily now comes to mind. It's definitely a Richmond institution.

    I was here for 3 hours because the food took forever to get here and the steak was tougher than what I expected from medium. The salad was mediocre. The appetizers (artichoke dip and pita) and my cocktail were the best things I had.

    Mediterranean Turkey Burger

    We really enjoy going to The Daily Kitchen & Bar in Richmond's Carytown. The food, service, and atmosphere are excellent and fun. The restaurant has large windows on two sides. The front windows are actually glass doors that slide open to merge the outside and inside. You can choose to dine outside, but I like to dine inside and breathe in the outside air and see, while also enjoying air conditioning. Even inside, the decor is tones of green and brown, with brown/gold metal trees as art--again merging the outside with the inside. They have a full bar with a wide variety of options and a menu of yummy cocktails. Now to the food. This visit, we enjoyed the Chopped Salad with grilled chicken added, the Mediterranean turkey burger, and the buffalo chicken wrap. The burger and wrap came with sweet potato fries. Portions are generous, and the meals were delicious. The restaurant gets busy at lunch, so make an Open Table reservation. Enjoy!

    Avocado salad
    Aki T.

    We went to the one in Carytown. Brussel sprouts is a great starter with tons of flavor! I ordered an avocado salad and I loved it. There were many fresh veggies in it like sweet corn, black beans, rice and whole half avocado. Salsas was fresh too. Beef hamburger, California club sandwich, Spain omelette and quinoa salad were delicious too. During lunch time, all the servers were too busy! I wish they come and asked how were our food though. I understand they are working hard but on our customers side, we do need more attention. It was a very hot day, unfortunately we did not get enough cool A/C because they opened the glass window so our table seats were pretty hot. A great place for families friends gatherings, I am not sure if they have happy hour.

    Mixed drink. Very good!

    Fig & Pig Pizza - A white base, mozzarella, pulled pork, figs, arugula, balsamic reduction - It was good! The white base, is similar to a cream cheese texture, not a ton of taste, but with everything going on in the pizza it fit in really well. I loved the crust on the pizza, not super thing or thick. I would be back for something else for sure. The place was clean and the service was excellent at the bar

    Hey Richmond !!! How awesome would it be if Daily Kitchen and Bar was on DoorDash?

    We currently offer delivery through Chop Chop.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    We love dogs, but our patio is quite tight so for the safety of our staff and the comfort of our customers we allow dogs just outside the patio on the sidewalk.

I pulled into the parking lot and this place has a unique setup. All the tables are outside similar to checkers. The place looks like it belongs in a dessert or South of the Boarder based on the color which is odd as well. They take your orders at the walk-up window. When I originally arrived, I didn't see much business but while I waited for my food the cars were pouring in left and right. My hopes for the food increased. There is a menu on the outside that is somewhat difficult to read and navigate. A ton of options with some whopping prices. I ended up ordering the 1 Snack and Fries. I wanted something good but also light as I had another place in Richmond I wanted to try. $14.99 seemed good until I saw this bogus, Local meals tax on top of the state sales tax. This caught me off guard. I ended up waiting in my car for about 20 minutes and later heard my name called over the microphone. The gentleman showed me the food, and it was 3 large pieces of fish. The fish was delicious. The fish was Cooked well, and I could taste the flavor. Way more than I expected. Tartar sauce elevated the flavor. The fires were piping hot and good as well. I wish I had some ketchup, but they were still good. I loved that they were salted but if I had high blood pressure I should have stayed away. You can see the salt on the fries. They were good to me. Overall if I were in Richmond again, I'd definitely stop. The food was good. I would definitely try more options. The customer service was good. The cashier and food distributor were on their A game. Outside could use some love and care but it is what it is.

The bun was warm, soft and buttery, there was a good amount of lobster to bread ratio, which made me happy! Now I will say the lobster roll is smaller than I thought it would be but the flavor and the roll itself is worth the 20 bucks. Will I go here often? No, just because it is pricey for the size but will I come back again? Absolutely! Also please try their specialty drinks the flavored lemonades are delicious!

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.

    Yelp tried to tell me but I didn't pay attention. Lesson learned…read more I'm a seafood snob. Grew up in Charleston, we would get our own oysters, crabs, shrimp, fish, so I know what good seafood is. Richmond has some respectable seafood but nothing like I had a Shoreline today. Did I mention my husband grew up in the Boston area? For him, lobster and clams are a weeknight dinner and his uncle, who was a lobster fisherman, would cringe at the lobster we've been eating. When you're away from the source, you have to make do. Not anymore. Shoreline Market has amazingly simple, well-prepared high quality food. And they do it for a decent price. I have a new favorite seafood place in Richmond. Came for lunch on a Saturday. We ended up getting the crudo, which was a tuna poke; lobster roll; clam sandwich; potatoes and salad, plus a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. Everything tasted great and was clearly masterfully prepared so the seafood was the star. All in our bill was around $90, totally reasonable for what we got. On the way out we bought more food to have at home. Fish stew and pimento cheese and another seafood soup. We work from home and are super close and HUGE fans of seafood, and the prepared foods they have is reasonably priced and fresh, so when we don't eat at the counter, we will take something home. I'm traveling this week and if I was home, I would have bought a few more items, such as the shrimp and artichoke pasta. We were told about these 10-course dinners they do so we booked one in May. So excited. I'm sad I didn't come sooner. I knew Shoreline opened but I assumed it was on the side of Patterson close to town. Glad to know they are right around the corner!
