You must go here. They don't take reservations for less than 6 and there is always a line. They have a brusk and strict seating policy. It's quirky and there is no need to complain about it. Get over it because the food is incredible. Must order: Whole Branzino, White Pizza, Squid with Arugula and White Bean, Rockfish, Tuna, Pork Chops, the list goes on. Order EVERYTHING you possibly can.

Great cocktails, food, and service. It's hard to explain but totally worth it. It's worth it for the steak tartare alone.

When you want cheap eats, in a neighborhood place, go to Joes. Be careful, there are two Joe's Inn in Richmond and this is the best. For some reason, I think the food tastes better if you sit bar side.
