Best Fun Restaurants in Mechanicsville

The crab bisque was excellent as usual as was Stella’s Calamari. A big disappointment was that there are no longer carafes of wine offered and there is no house wine. The wine we had was overly expensive and not very good. The usually excellent Cypriot salad was served in a pile on a plate that made it difficult to manage. The best part of that salad are the grapes and pistachios. There were 2 half grapes and maybe 4 pistachios. The rest lettuce. This is the first time we have not rated Stella’s with 5 stars.

How to describe my favorite restaurant in Richmond and one of my favorites of all time...the experience starts once you walk in. The music, the art, the names of the dishes on the menu. For a few seconds the sounds and sights are like a roller coaster running full steam, but then everything settles into place and your visit begins to flow. Fresh truffle service tableside? This is the place to do that. Mac and Cheese with Maine Lobster and that truffle service? Sign me up. Swashbuckling Bundt Pirate cake served on a classic Aquaman plate for desert? Yes please. Just don't forget to get your reservation in well in advance. Dress code isn't stuffy, but leave the ball cap in the car.

Fall Line is a wonderful find in Downtown Richmond. Thought full menu , prepared with love. Everything we have had has been expertly prepared. The wait staff are friendly and well versed about the Restaurants services.

The food was excellent. Restaurant was not crowded, we were asked where we wanted to sit. My out-of-town guests were impressed.
