We were really looking forward to this dining experience, but it turned out to be over a three hour meal with thirty minute waits between courses. The filet was undercooked, the servers were confused and uninterested, and even though we made reservations, we still had to wait over half an hour for a table. It was very frustrating, we will not return, and we want to warn people not to go there.
Pros: There might be potential
Cons: HORRIBLE SERVICE = horrible experience

I highly recomend this quaint little bistro. I just moved into the fan disrict from the d.c. area and was told by neighbors that this was the place to go. they did mention that they had'nt been for awhile due to the "nasty service" but assured me that rumours said that the waitstaff was new, and the old servers had vacated the premise to open up a place called carsons. I was pleasantly surprised by the food as well as the knowledgable and attentive service. The thing I did not understand was the wine list, ( it was on a large chalkboard ) Luckily my server explained not to worry about it, she would guide me through the list based on my likes, and what I was having for dinner, and price range. (she also said that if I didn't like a bottle we chose, not to worry.) My husband and I had a lovely dinner, definately up to par with the D.C restaurants of which we are accustomed. They even had our favorite dessert, a molten lava cake. The cake and the night was done to perfection.

Our particular waitress on this particular afternoon was very unattentive to her section. At each of the key points of server / customer interaction, there was a distinct, prolonged wait. This was seemed true for every other table. From being greeted, getting refills, checking on how things were, getting the check and paying for it, all contained prolonged, eventually irritating stretches of waiting. This is somewhat acceptable if the place were just a madhouse of people (customers and other wait staff), but it wasn't. Poor service ruined a so-so brunch. Maybe dinners are better here but at Zeus Gallery our brunch made this writer feel more like Sisyphus, having to wrangle the wait staff and work for our meal than enjoy it.
Pros: Quaint little dining get away, typical of Richmond
Cons: poor service on this day

Tiny little dark restaurant in the near West End side of the Fan. Still think it is the best restaurant in Richmond. Menu changes daily and I have never had a bad meal. Bring your wallet if you are going. Hard to keep bill under $100 for 2. However, you won't go home hungry or disappointed. Great wine selection (except need more Oregons and Washington States).
Pros: food
Cons: price
