    Went out with my daughter who is at VCU. Great place to go. Food was excellent, service friendly, and noise low enough to easily converse.

    I love Helen’s but the old booths are not comfortable! L shape with no cushion. I would request another table if you can!

    I ordered the rockfish n my fiancé got the mushroom cavatelli. The rockfish was 33$ which isn’t very out of the ordinary for a nice restaurant. Because of the price point i expected the same quality i’d get from other restaurants in the same “class”. The food tasted decent but not 33$ worth. The lentils on their own were good but just kinda tasted like stewed lentils with some aromatics and liquid smoke added. The mustard sauce was alright on its own. The rockfish was cooked well but was a smaller portion than i’d expect. All of the flavors within the individual components of the dish were decent/good but the flavors did not meld with each other or interact with one another. Also the plating seemed rushed and uninspired. With that being said, our server was really cool & my fiancé’s food was really good. The cocktails were pretty good n the beer was nice n cold.
