- TPTeamPeteForJoe1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoStella’s is a Richmond tradition. Small, busy, and always lively. It’s not the place to go if you’re looking for a quiet place for dinner. If you’re looking for a delicious meal, accommodating staff, and a leisurely stroll through your courses, it can’t be beat. The lamb chops were devine and there’s nothing better than Stella’s calamari. Stella’s is always worth the wait.More infoStella's - RichmondPrice: Moderate• Greek• Richmond•4.8
- GGraceVirginia •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was amazing. My salmon was perfectly cooked and the fresh asparagus was crisp-tender. After learning it was our anniversary, we were given a complimentary glass of champagne. The service was amazing. Our server Lourdes was helpful, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly. We were seated by a window overlooking the water. The three course menu was a great bargain! Will eat there again!!More infoThe Boathouse at City PointPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Richmond•4.3

Discover Virginia
Virginia is known for more than just delicious southern cooking; they have their own style! If you are a ham lover, look out for Virginia ham — also known as Smithfield ham. It is only legal to produce in one place in the world, Smithfield, Virginia. Virginian cuisine also includes a variety of BBQ that range from all vinegar to a vinegar-based sweetness. A hearty Brunswick stew is another mainstay of Virginia. Originally using an Appalachian flying squirrel, it now uses a variety of meats braised in this vegetable stew. Traditional Virginian apple cider and apple butter, made from Wineapples, is a real treat. Another delicacy is any seafood that is cooked with Old Bay, originally formulated with spices from a specific region of the state, the Chesapeake Bay.
