The Scene – A quaint old tavern situated between Richmond and Petersburg, the Halfway House encourages romance simply because it's off the beaten path and offers diners something different. Slide into a table in the restaurant's dimly-lit dining room, reflect on the building's deep-Virginia history, order a glass of wine and suddenly you've got a scene for romance. – – The Food – Although you won't necessarily find gourmet dishes here, the Halfway House offers an impressive array of beef, chicken and shellfish dishes.

Was Once Enjoyable
by larry555
Over priced fish, which I never complain about prices, but a horrible piece for the price of 38.00. Way too busy for one rude server and a rude older lady working the bar. The server ran around the restaurant like she was running a marathon making the atmosphere unpleasant. When I approached the server regarding the homemade whipped cream for our key lime pie as she explained would accompany the desert, her response was "I'm to busy at the moment sir to run to the kitchen and get some for you", then she ran away back to her marathon. If the hospitality were what it should have been like the past few years our family has dined at the Half Way House we certainly would return, but it looks as if it's turning for the worse.

Over Priced
by t5i6m
We went to this restaurant for the romantic atmosphere. It was a nice old farmhouse, etc...and tastefully decorated. However, the tables, chairs and paper placemat..gave it a cheap touch to a very nice dining area...small and quaint.. Food was very expensive for the quality and quanity. I used a $25 gift certificate, however, I still felt the final tab was overpriced. I watched a spider crawling behind my head on the wall and the window had a draft. Fireplace was nice. With a redue of the dining area to period tables and chairs, and better place setting...and more attention to detail on the quality and quanity of food,,,,it would rate much higher...But can't see returning with the current shortfalls. Seems food critic posting in Richmond Paper recently..agreed with my review. Revamp the dining room and food to enhance the other qualities the farmhouse has to offer.
- Pros: Romantic, Historic setting
- Cons: Expensive, Food uninspiring
