Mechanicsville Restaurants

What an amazing experience! The food was amazing! Highly recommend!

First time in Richmond, first time at the Tobacco Company Restaurant. Beautiful old building that looked amazing inside. Service was excellent. I had the She Crab Soup. It was very good. I then had the prime rib for dinner. Again, excellent. I had the Key Lime Pie for dessert. It was good....not great. OVerall, this is a fantastic spot for dinner. Would highly recommend.

An amazing dinner, but the amount of food was breathtakingly large. I feel some of the dishes should come with warnings that these are shareable entrees etc.

We were looking for reservations in December, to go enjoy the decorations and a beautiful date night. I’m sure we all know you don’t just randomly decide to get a reservation in December (lol) I clicked January and was shocked to find a lunch and dinner reservation available for New Years Day. So we chose dinner, and arrived early to walk around and take everything in. The hotel was beautiful and quiet, and fairly empty. We went to the restaurant early to sit at the bar and grab some drinks before dinner, and the host offered to seat us early if a table opened up. The drinks were phenomenal, and everything smelled incredible. Everyone was so delightfully friendly. We were seated early and grabbed two appetisers (the trumpet royale mushrooms, and the farro and apple salad, and they could have both been meals!), two entrées (the rockfish and the lamb shank. The rockfish was the real winner.) and then we grabbed dessert. We got the vanilla almond mousse, with apple sorbet and nuts. Absolutely spectacular. I dreamt of it last night. Highly recommend the espresso with a shot of baileys, or an old fashioned, to pair with that dessert. Always such a wonderful experience. Thank you to the incredible hosts, bartenders, and servers!
