 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. Delicious appetizers include Pistachio-Crusted Brie Sticks with a tangy honey sauce. Entrees such as crisp quail or a tender filet mignon topped with walnuts are perfectly prepared. Avalon also has an interesting gourmet beer list. You might enjoy trying the sometimes hard-to-find brews like Potomac and John Courage with your dinner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Operatic cuisine |
214 N Lombardy St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 353 3040 |
Walls are adorned with pictures of the tragic clown Pagliacci and the menu tells his sad tale at this romantic Fan district hideaway. 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. Thick and fluffy, it is baked in a special Italian style. Seating is difficult without reservations. 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 |

Be sure to pick Strawberry |
421 Strawberry St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 353 6860 http://www.strawberrystreetcaf... |
A neighborhood tradition in the historic Fan district, the Strawberry Street Cafe is the ideal place to stop when touring the area or visiting the nearby Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Art students from Virginia Commonwealth University regularly draw master studies in colored chalk on boards hanging around the restaurant. Window seating provides a lovely view of the historic Fan district. The bathtub salad bar, which greets you as you walk in the door, is the most creatively presented (and most delicious) in the city. Vintage wine from the Cafe's award winning list is available by the glass. Review © 2007, Wcities |
