Best Historic Restaurants in Henrico

Food was exquisite. Cooked to perfection. We had the calamari and she crab soup, then the Steak Oscar and my man had the sirloin with a crabcake. The drinks were strong enough and tasted delicious. Try the P.Y.T. and the chocolate cherry kiss, they won't disappoint. He also had the barrel aged old fashioned and said it was the best old fashioned he had ever had. Dessert was the white chocolate bread pudding and the key lime pie; they were fantastic, as well. We were not rushed, we had everything we needed quickly and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Pricey? Yes but well worth it. This was my 2nd time there, his 1st. We will definitely return!

Although we made reservations, we had to wait 20 minutes for our table. It was a very busy Valentine evening. However, Terrant's downtown is always a great place for a nice meal. The atmosphere is great, and the food and service were excellent. A nice little perk is that if you show them your parking receipt, they will deduct it from your check. This is definitely a great place for lunch or dinner.

My wife and I love Lola’s so much—we are somehow always lucky to be served by Madeline who takes great care of us. We’d eat at Lola’s every night if the week—love it all!

Great vibe! Highly recommend. Our waiter, Molokai (Spelling might be off) was professional and respectful. He was very attentive to our needs (anticipated the need for wine refills) and did everything right. We were a party of four and had 5:15 reservations which were made through “Open Table” so convenient. We parked on the street in front of the restaurant as well as garage parking directly across the street. We started with a cup of She Crab Soup topped with fresh crab, could’ve been hotter but still delicious. Also ordered the Lobster dip appetizer. Yum. I opted for the 3 course meal (Soup/ Surf &Turf/ Chocolate Mousse) for $58.95. Such a deal! My Valentine ordered blackened salmon over an arugula salad that had apples, cranberries, toasted pecans, goat cheese, topped with a champagne vinaigrette. Also ordered was the Fish Tacos consisted of fried grouper, pickled red cabbage, pineapple salsa, jalapeno, cilantro, chipotle aioli. Was told it was amazing. 4th entree ordered was the Seared Rockfish came complete with whipped potatoes, brussels, dates, bacon, and lemon. Delicious! All the portions were generous. The four of us was able to share the mousse-creamy, and topped with whipped crème. Highly recommend this restaurant! We will be back! Thank you!

The Jefferson is one of the few places that remains as an example of old Richmond and I pray they never change. Just listen to the visitors from all over sitting around me and all you hear are people commenting to each other how delicious their meal is. My wife and I have enjoyed an evening there many times and I have tried several of the meals there. Every time it was exceptional. From their Tenderloin to their Rockfish, each meal was a special event. If you are looking for somewhere for a formal occasion like a special date, anniversary, etc. I highly recommend the Jefferson. It is a bit pricey, but the food and service is second to none.
