 An exquisite dining experience |
3325 West Cary St Richmond, VA 23221 United States +1 804 354 6060 http://www.acaciarestaurant.com/ |
Recognized as one of Richmond's finest restaurants, Acacia adheres to the philosophy that dining should be a memorable experience. Located in the Old Church Building, tiled floors and black lacquered chairs give the restaurant a contemporary contrast to the historic building. A front porch provides seating with a view of Carytown that has been described as the best place for people-watching in Richmond. The menu changes daily to utilize the freshest ingredients and to enhance the season. Main courses feature several choices of fresh seafood as well as poultry and beef dishes. Local softshell crabs are a delicacy when available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Elegant outdoor dining |
3343 West Cary St Richmond, VA 23221 United States +1 804 353 4700 http://www.amiciristorante.net/ |
This delightful restaurant is one of the few fine dining establishments in Carytown. Enjoy traditional Italian cuisine including Carpaccio di Manzo —raw, thinly sliced beef tenderloin with a walnut and honey vinaigrette and Insalata alla Caprese —homemade fresh mozzarella, roma tomatoes, capers, basil and olive oil. Entrees like Gamberoni allo Zafferano —pan seared jumbo shrimp with pancetta, saffron, brandy and cream sauce or Quaglie del Nonno—roasted twin quails filled with sausages in a barbera wine and shallot reduction are delectable.

Fine dining, casual atmosphere |
2619 West Main St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 353 9709 http://www.avalonrestaurant.com// |
The dark wood and dim lighting at Avalon create an intimate, romantic atmosphere. The food is superb and the menu changes weekly.

Operatic cuisine |

Entrees include amazing cannelloni stuffed with ricotta, spinach and pounded chicken and veal, and snapper with a blanket of shrimp stuffing and paprika. The sauces for a variety of fresh pastas include chunky fresh vegetable, sun-dried tomato with mushrooms and cream and creamy white clam. Save room for their famous cheesecake.

Close your eyes as you dine and you can almost hear the trumpeting of elephants and the cries of exotic birds. Farouk's is just that authentic.

 Delightul dim sum |
6400 Horsepen Rd Richmond, VA 23226 United States +1 804 673 2233 |
Richmonders have come to love the tradition of family gatherings over dim sum and tea at Full Kee. For experienced dim sum diners, the trays full of steaming dumplings will be paradise. Those less experienced with the delicacy may have a better experience with Full Kee during the week, when selections come from a traditional menu. Delectable dumplings, rolls and crepes are available a la carte. Plum sauce, hot mustard and duck sauce accompany the dim sum. Steamed shrimp and shark's fin are some of the stuffings. Be prepared to wait on the weekends, it becomes very crowded. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Closed until Summer 2005 |
16 North 17th St Richmond, VA 23219 United States +1 804 649 2822 http://www.havana59.net/ |
This Cuban-themed restaurant somehow achieves both a lively and romantic atmosphere. At brunch, you can watch the Farmers Market as you dine on the outdoor deck. If you want a spot outside, be sure to make a reservation. The menu is seafood heavy, but those who do not enjoy things fishy will love the shredded pork over rice with plantains. It is one of the least expensive and most delicious items offered. Havana has one of the largest drink selections in the city, including homemade margaritas. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An interesting blend |
2232 W Main St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 358 7870 |
The decor of Sticky Rice creates a contemporary, sleek, Asian look. Inside, chefs prepare both Japanese and American food. The diverse menu features selections you might never imagine finding in the same place, like sushi and meatloaf. You can accompany your entrée with side dishes that range from spring rolls to tater tots. Some dishes combine both styles, like the Tokyo burger. Review © 2007, Wcities |
