Best Historic Restaurants in Richmond

Always a wonderful experience!!! Thank you Bradley for making my husband’s birthday a wonderful evening.

Delightful experience Will make high tea a habit

I had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday/Christmas here. It was a first visit for us all. The food was exemplary, the ambiance was perfect, and the attention to details were superior. We had custom menus with Happy 50th Birthday Todd printed at the top, and dessert came out with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate with a candle. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was wonderful and patient with our party. My one critique is the garnishes were more for looks than eating, while the meat/main entree was great, but that could just be personal taste. Overall a wonderful experience and my husband had a perfect birthday.

The food at The Tobacco Company is always very good and the service is consistently outstanding. It seems no matter who our server is we are always treated like welcome guests by the entire front of the house staff. Our server, Bekah, as well as the other front of the house staff, kept their eyes on our table and we never had to wait to have a plate cleared or a glass refilled. We especially appreciate our server paying attention to our table and timing our courses such that we never have more than one course at a time on our table. We never feel rushed or ignored at The Tobacco Company which makes an evening out for dinner seem like a special occasion.
