Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Richmond

The food was perfectly prepared. The wine was delicious and service exceptional. The whole experience was wonderful.

What a wonderful dining experience! Kudos to the waiters whose timing was impeccable - they did not rush us but seemed to always be there when needed. The food was great - There were 6 of us, and everyone loved what they ordered. Don’t miss the key lime dessert - oh my!! The noise level was a bit high, but it was an energy that did not interfere with our conversation . Can’t wait to return to La Griglia.

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

We enjoy Mastro's Steakhouse - the food and service. We have been multiple times, and it never disappoints. The quail knots and butter cake are favorites of ours! Frank was an excellent server, along with the other servicemen in the restaurant. Thank y'all for making our dining experience at Mastro's pleasant and memorable, as always!

The roasted beet salad was exquisite, light and yummy. Pork chop was lean and delicious with a great Asian/Creole inspired sauce. Flounder was flaky and delicious. The cornbread had a delicious sweetness and it was a bit crunchy. The Louisiana crawfish etoufee was a true disappointment as it had battered shrimp and little crawfish all in a noodle sauce instead of rice! This is why the 4 stars. The bread pudding did not disappoint. The prices are higher than some of the competition. My husband (etoufee) will not return! I will give it another try for lunch because my dish was superb as was my son’s flounder.
