    You can count on TJ's at the Hotel Jefferson for excellent food and service. Includes the lovely lobby where I and my sisters chatted for 2 hours after our lunch. A very special and historic "get-away" place.

    We had a wonderful Birthday Dinner. Mussels were some of the best I have ever had and the pork chop outstanding. We ate at the bar and Geneva and her staff were exceptional at explaining the food and keeping our drinks full!!! Will definitely be back.

    Stella's is our favorite Richmond restaurant. We shared the Spanakopita to start. For the entrees I had the Shrimp Ouzo and my son had the Salmon dish. Everything was delicious! Our server was extra attentive and did a great job. We love Stella's and try to come as often as possible.
