Around lunch so…read moreslightly busy-located downtown and street parking only didn't have any issues finding a spot right in front. We ordered sandwiches. House made Pastrami was delicious-go with the 1 lb (buy the pound) Pastrami sandwich -at least 2 if not 3 sandwiches in one. Corned Beef was also tasty and some of the best we've had. Latkas and Dill potato salad hit the spot but the Garlic Dill fries stole the show-one of a kind and not to be missed. For dessert, we saw they had Hamantaschen and got one of each-both very good with rich fruit spread topping. Service was engaged and patient (given our questions and recommendation requests) as our order was being placed. An extensive menu with everything from Beef tongue sandwich (Jewbano) to Chicken Liver as well Hot Dogs and Smoked Salmon and Whitefish. We wanted it all! Liked the atmosphere and decor with booth and bar stool seating. A must stop when visiting Richmond!

My daughter's friend, who is Jewish, had recommended it. We were told there was a 25 minute wait, and we were told we could hang out at the store next door. Just as we were done wandering, our table was called. I had the corned beef sandwich, toasted, and a side of potato salad. My wife had the chopped chicken liver appetizer and the potato latke appetizer. The food was very good and the service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go again. They close at 3 pm and are NOT open for dinner.

The prices were extremely reasonable. I got the ham, cheese and egg on a biscuit with an arugula side salad. For the price, the portions were absolutely huge! Service was fast and friendly. It wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday morning and we were seated immediately. The place is fairly small but the light decor makes it feel less cramped. It was a great place to sit and chat and eat before heading off to Kings Dominion.

We were in the area and I was thinking biscuits for brunch and then I saw this place. Everything on…read morethe menu sounds so good, like I would totally order everything on the menu if I had enough stomach space and money. We got there on a Sunday morning, the entrance was full but we were eventually helped and put of a 35 minute waiting list. We decided to go for a stroll and check out a couple blocks worth of sites and then got back in our car to decide just what we wanted. I was feeling fancy drink wise and got the mimosa flight and I wanted something simple for brunch so I got the eggs on a biscuit sandwich with open face ham. It was delicious. I wish GERD didn't exist, but it does so I had to limit how much more of the mimosa flight I could drink because acid reflux burns like hell. I also wanted to try the biscuit with gravy so I got a side of it. The biscuit was the most amazing biscuit I've ever tried, they were flaky, moist, doughy, and crumbly all at the same time. My husband got the sweet heat sandwich and it was fantastic. Perfect crunch, and the mix of flavors is perfect. He also got an espresso martini and it was hands down one of the best that I've tried. This would've been a 5 star review had it not been for our server. I didn't hear his name...in fact I could barely hear him. His face was disinterested and his voice was monotoned as if he were doing this as a punishment. He never checked in to see how we were doing, never gave us silverware (the other server who brought us our food got some for us), and another server had to flag him down for us so we could the check. Overall really great food but our waiter kind of ruined it. Wish I could've heard his name...or anything at all.

Their famous short rib egg rolls were a bit burned on the outside so a bit dry on the inside. They did have a very good sauce served with them that pretty well covered the flaws. We also got the sweet potato corn bread. It was tasty, but fell apart just a little too easily. I had to eat it with a fork. The risotto that came with my duck leaned a little too far to the mushy side. The duck itself was really good. My niece had the salmon, and she had no complaints. She said she had the leftover last night as a sandwich and that it was delicious. Service was excellent. No notes.

The hotel is also home to an excellent restaurant that serves a fantastic weekend brunch along with a refined upscale dinner menu, making it worth visiting even if you're not staying overnight. We booked a suite, and it was incredibly spacious, with a full kitchen, separate living room, bedroom, dressing area, and a large bathroom. Although the rooms looked a little dated in the photos, they were much nicer in person. Everything was clean and comfortable, the bed was great, and the room temperature stayed perfect throughout our stay. If you enjoy historic hotels, this one is definitely worth experiencing. Knowing that many U.S. presidents and celebrities have stayed here adds to its unique charm and makes the stay feel even more special

Everything was clean and cozy. I definitely hope to stay here again on my next trip to Richmond. Taking a star away because turning on the lights was as complicated as launching a rocket ship and I'm pretty sure I accidentally asked for Service to come in just because I could not for the life of me figure it out, so once they were on, I stopped messing with anything. Also, there was a very large bug in the bathroom sink at 11PM. I managed to pour water on it and closed all the drains but it freaked me out a lot!

Not too loud or empty. The staff were friendly and they get lots of natural light inside. Might not be a repeat unless im craving a waffle again... really good spot though !

Our waiter was also actually quite patient (there was a bit of a wait until my friends got there; I'm sorry!). They had a dj the morning I was there, and I really liked the vibe. Their menu have more than enough options for brunch and drinks. I hope they extend their menu for more lunch items than brunch/breakfast items though! Once everyone was there, we finally ordered! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the side of Lulu's house potatoes and a pomegranate mule. The pomegranate mule was quite strong, and I enjoyed it so much I ordered another one. LOL. The bacon cheeseburger was exactly as I requested. I have no notes. Overall, wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

To start the food here was relatively good…read more The Chicken & Biscuit was quite tasty itself - the eggs were cooked well tastes great- the potatoes... The potatoes are a no everyone agreed the potatoes are too seasoned had this unnecessary spice to them and lacks flavor at the same time - we were not fan, another table recommended we not get the potatoes or ask for them to be a more crispy to disguise the spice. Even took it home and crisped it more, long story short the potatoes are not going to be that lightly salted flavor you'd expect, just over seasoned. The sausage gravy tasted great. The biscuit is absolute perfection! (10 out of 10 for Biscuit and Chicken) (3 out of 10 for potatoes) (9 out of 10 for eggs) Unfortunately as far as the Red Velvet waffles they are most likely waffles with red food coloring - tasted nothing like red velvet. (4 out of 10 for the waffles) The French Toast was okay- the strawberry puree was delicious. (3 out of 10 for French toast) The music in here is a vibe loved the selection - kept my group grooving. Not sure if they are always packed but there was a festival going on outside. They squeezed 7 of us at a 6 top booth. It was tight but worked. Also this location is not very spacious keep that in mind. Our server started off pretty good until the end. She was very loud- louder than the music. No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly. Left a sour taste in our mouth as this was not the most professional route to inform a guest of something of that nature. Then proceed to give an attitude upon being compensated .. The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.

The decor is classy, chiq and low lighting. The hostess, and our waitress was absolutely amazing! Our waitress Jada or Jayla? Did not get her name and hear that well but she was fantastic! Started off with the crab hush puppies, with a line lime mayo sauce! The flavors were amazingly paired together, they were like mini crab cakes and very filling for appetizer. Main course, my boyfriend got the shrimp and grits which the shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly! It was cheesy and rich and a great flavor. I got the braised beef short ribs which were flavorful, juicy, with mashed potatoes and carrots and mushrooms. It was super good and comforting and filling. We got the butter butter cake, which was amazing! We shared it, as it was plenty. It melted in your mouth and had a scoop of gelato. Presentation on everything was beautiful. Everything we had was amazing, service was fast and friendly and they were on top of everything. We had to pay 12$ for parking and walk, but I think the hotel has something set up. We will be back to try new things!
