    The best brunch I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Why, oh why, can't you be in New Jersey, Sunday Champagne Brunch at The Jefferson Hotel? Well, maybe it's a good thing because about 60 p/p including tax and tip... I don't think I have room for you in my budget. LOL. With that being said.... we were blown away by our experience from beginning to end. It was sold out online, but being a hotel guest as well has it's perks! Not only were we given a reservation, but upon our arrival, they changed our seats from the sides to the main, open area right next to the food! Thank you! What a difference that seems to make. Service was top notch, on time, and with a smile from our servers to the food stations. Everything was of quality with white glove service. The plates, the glasses (that were never empty!), tablecloths.. just top of the line. It was so nice to hear a live band playing in the background. I just felt like I stepped back to a time when quality and elegance mattered. And it was awesomely refreshing. Food was very tasty... everything that you can think of from the usual brunch fare. You know that that entails. I'm so thrilled to have been able to have this experience and I can't wait to return.

    I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, the classy mannered wait staff, high quality food and the very reasonable prices of the lunch menu. I particularly liked the salad well tossed with the very adequate amount of dressing.

    Desert, wasn't able to get a pic of the food as it was devoured within minutes :)

    Words cannot describe the sensational, magnificent, eye-catching and glorious experience that is the Jefferson hotels Sunday Champagne brunch! From start to finish, it was an experience I will cherish forever. It complimented and made celebrating our experience together as a family enhanced 10 fold and picturesque. They only take reservations and larger parties will find an easier time making reservations later rather than sooner. I would say make your reservation if your a party of 4 or smaller 6 months in advance.....yes that is how crazy it can be, especially if your trying to make reservations close to a holiday! They allow you to park in their private lot for 2-3 hrs free I believe if you have a reservation so you won't have to worry about parking if your with a large group as their lot is a very good size. When you walk into the mezzanine you are just blown away at the space. Feel like old late 1700-early 1800 royalty as you walk in to the beautiful set up of round tables and food masterfully cooked and served to the side with a grand center table presentation of some of the best dessert you'd ever try. When we were there there was an ice sculpture of a heart because it was nearing Valentine's Day and the best part....live music. Can't get any better than live piano, violin and harp players ringing nirvana in your ear as you dive into the best brunch served in RVA sipping on Champagne....life was good, lol The service is top notch! Our server was like Geoffrey from fresh prince, kept it very classy, tasty while keeping it real. Very down to earth and entertaining, I truly felt special and blessed to be with family while being treated like family in an amazing space with friendly and courteous customer service. Almost like a few hours spent in your favorite Disney or fairy tale...really is breath-taking. I would definitely recommend an experience like this with cherished family or loved ones....can really make this a special experience. The price is pretty steep, but honestly worth every penny. Even if you don't eat too much, you're really paying for the ambiance, experience, presentation and live music. Definitely something every native RVA person should do once in their lifetime! Good day!

    Pan Seared Soft Shell Crab paired with Pale Ale from the Troeg's Beer Dinner Event
    Lauren C.

    I've been to TJ's for lunch, and it was great! I had the BLT and my friend had a crab cake; both great portions and delicious! With great service! But what I really love about TJ's is the beer dinners they host, I've been to three! A different brewery is featured in each dinner, and you get about five different beers which are paired with five different courses. The last beer dinner I went to Troeg's brewery was featured. Our first course was a walk around Hors d'oeuvres, chilled sweet pea soup shooters, with jumbo lump crab meat, and truffle oil. It was refreshing, and paired with the Sunshine Pilsner. Once we were seated, we snacked on yummy spicy popcorn, which was a great touch, perfect to tide you over in between courses. (not that you need more food with these dinners, you get so much!) Our second course was a Pan Seared Soft Shell crab, which was served over romaine, crispy shallots, black beans and topped with a lime creme friache, and paired with a pale ale. This was the first soft shell crab I've ever tried, and I loved it. Especially the black beans, and went perfectly with the pale ale. Our third course was my favorite of the evening. Slow cooked Berkshire pork cheeks served over silver queen corn, vidalia onions, pappadew peppers, surry sausage, and topped with a house-made coca-cola BBQ glaze. All of the components of this dish went together perfectly! The pork was perfectly tender, the sides were both sweet and spicy, and just deeeeelish! It was paired with the Hopback Amber Ale, which was also my favorite beer of the evening. Our fourth course was "Veal Three Ways" Veal loin, Sweetbreads, and Jus. Served with asparagus, morel mushrooms, and goat cheese risotto. My veal loin was cooked perfectly, and I don't know if you've ever tried sweetbreads, but if you ever get the chance, please do! So tender, and delicious! This dish was paired with the rugged trail nut brown ale. Our fifth and final course was dessert. And boy, do they do dessert well! Chambord Creme Brulee, served with an espresso biscotti, and paired with the Java Head Stout. I always find the desserts to have the most distinct complimentary pairing, as was the case with this dish. If I hadn't been so full, I would have finished my brulee, because it was soo good! Unfortunately, I only made it a couple bites through. If you love beer, you should definitely make it to a TJ's beer dinner, they are fabulous! They are usually either $50 or $60 per person; which includes tax and gratuity. 5 amazing courses paired with 5 great beers for only 50 bucks! It's such a great deal. The servers are fast, friendly, and always come around in the nick of time to refill your beer :) You can make reservations for a group, or go by yourself or with another and sit with strangers. I've done both, and it's equally fun to sit with people from around Richmond and get to know them while eating and drinking! It's a great time either way! Even if you're not a beer person, it really is fun to try dishes that are made to compliment the beer. Definitely widened my horizons!

    TJ's is fantastic. I came here for lunch and brunch (two separate days. What kind of heifer do you take me for?) and was more than pleased each time. For lunch, my guest and I shared a delicious shrimp & grits appetizer that came with greens and country ham. We both got the Oyster Po'Boy for lunch that came with a nice slaw that complimented the mayo on the sandwich and super yummy fries. I can't remember the bread it was served on but it felt like biting into a pillow made of yeast. For dessert, I had the apple & oatmeal bread pudding that can only be described as decadent. Sooooooo good. We also had the brunch, all you can and drink buffet. Oh. My. God. What a feast. It was a glutton's wet dream. Both of our servers were very charming and friendly. An all-around great restaurant!

My waffle was one of the best that I've had, a little firmness with flavor, the bacon was crisp without being burnt. I loved the pineapple mimosa. Kierra(sp) our server was excellent. You couldn't ask for anyone better. Even the Commanders fans were very gracious to us Philadelphia Eagle lovers. Would I go here again? Hell yeah, I may just make a trip just to go there!

Her set started at 10pm. We were probably there from 10:30pm-1am. The bouncer was incredibly sweet and checked our IDs at the door. We walked up a flight of stairs to get to the lounge. From my understanding, this lounge is open on Fridays and Saturdays only so far. Tickets for the show we were going for were $7. We didn't pay at the door, they put the $7 ticket on our drink tab. It was pretty packed, but the three of us were able to find a seat. It took a while to order drinks, but it feels like they're still figuring the best system out. My friend and I ordered the hibiscus spritz which was incredible. It was such a huge and delicious serving. I highly recommend ordering this. Our other friend got a regular old fashioned that she enjoyed. Do know with the music, it gets a bit loud so you end up screaming at each other. It was really good music so it was totally fine. At some points people made the tiny elevated section where the DJ was a dance floor. While this isn't a dance spot, there is a tiny space to dance. There is lots of seating available here, so even though it was crowded, it was never shoulder to shoulder packed (unless you tried to dance). The decor is unique with exposed brick and hieroglyphics matching the Egyptian restaurant below. I'm excited to return to try more delicious cocktails from their menu and see other DJs.
