    Happy friends on dance floor
    David C.

    Beautiful venue. Attended a Quinceañera party for a friend's' daughter. Absolutely top notch employees, food, music. Elegant but not stuffy. A good time was had by all!

    Impeccable bathroom. Every restaurant ain't rockin this well.

    Came in on a Friday at a quarter to 1:00. There weren't too many patrons at that time but service was as attentive as it should be. I mention that first because I've been to many places where a down time in the day can equal lacking service. I found the menu and it's Art Deco typescript to be be a great touch. I am all about Art Deco elements. After placing my order and receiving my drink I went all the way upstairs to visit the restroom. Going upstairs I really got a feel if the place and I loved it. The restaurant is in a huge, renovated mansion I would say. I believe the restaurant is a great use of the space and and an awesome tribute to Historic Jackson Ward. The bathroom was the reason I was upstairs and I gave my visit 5 Stars off that! Many good restaurant have iffy restrooms but I could definitely slide off to the water closet here and take an important phone call and be at ease. I was going to get the Yardbird and Waffle but I went for a simple thing like Tenders and Fries. I wasn't expecting exceptionalism nor did it give me that. They were solid but the BBQ Mustard that came with was bum! I would pay for that bottled and I don't even eat mustard. The presentation was grade A+! Garnish for Tenders and Fries--as god as it gets!

    Tried this restaurant for the first time during Richmond Black Restaurant Week. Service was a little slow, but this may have been due to more people coming in than usual, not sure. Had to ask for a drink menu and then after friends were ordering things I didn't see on the menu, realized my food menu didn't have a back page. So felt slightly cheated in my choices. But, ordered app size shrimp and grits and a side salad. It was good, not the best I've had, but still okay. I'd return to try other menu items and perhaps during a less busy time to try and support. Friends I dined with all said their food was good too.

    House salad with salmon.

    Fantastic food and excellent service! Terri was wonderful and very attentive to our needs. My husband got the chicken burger (Yardbird Burger) with Macon County Fries I got the house salad with salmon. We shared an order of wings to start and the Mansion sauce was exquisite. All the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely going back!!

    I came to the Speakeasy Grill to see Legacy Band in action and I must say: This was one of the most amazing nights I've had in a while. Spoken word, rhythmic melodies, and a relaxing vibe. The food was fine, but I loved the experience. I can't wait to visit again this month!

    Ambiance: a hidden gem in the Jackson Ward so there was no crowd and we were seated in a timely manner.

    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
