We celebrated my wife’s birthday and had the best time. Cameron was our server, new the the restaurant, and was the perfect addition to their team. The owner John stopped by the table to say hi to us and even wanted to take a selfie with us before we left. This place is highly recommended!

I worked at the Philadelphia Bookbinders while attending college in the late 80’s. I enjoyed working there and Albert Taxin was very supportive of me as I put myself through school. My wife surprised me with an overnight trip for our anniversary to our favorite place….Richmond. Dinner was very well done; all of the staff were pleasant, the food was plated very well, service was great and our meals were delicious. John,…..if you read this,…wishing you and your family a happy holiday!

Bookbinders is one of my favorite restaurants in Richmond. Every time I go I always get the Jumbo lump crab cake, it’s phenomenal! Everything from the sides to other entrees are delicious. The restaurant is very nice inside and all of the staff is so friendly! It’s an upscale restaurant and very classy, I love the vibe and atmosphere. Drinks are always nice and strong. The bread they bring you out is always the best part. We eat here at least every other month

Bookbinders is the cutest old Richmond restaurant for all special and nice occasions. In the heart of the city, it is so perfect for our wedding dinner. We got married in an intimate ceremony just blocks away at the VMFA. The staff had printed our names on the menu with our wedding date. They were prompt, thorough and the food was incredible! I got the scallops and they were nothing short of perfect (and big/hearty!). Highly recommend for any occasion.

I can't believe that after moving to Richmond as a child almost 30 years ago, I never tried this place. It's a lovely dining scene, and the food is 🤌🤌 Pictured here is the petite filet mignon with the scallops add-on with lobster mac and cheese on the side.

Let me start off by saying this place had the most welcoming ambiance that I have endured in a while. The customized menu was my favorite part. If you go with someone special they can customize the menu just for the occasion. The crab cakes were the best! And the brownie was to die for!

The food is great. I got the 2.5 lb stuffed lobster and my husband got the Cowboy steak and mashed potatoes. So good! The atmosphere is very classy and the staff is amazing. The owner is funny and personable and took pictures at the end of us and with us…so funny!

I was feeling some type of way because the special I was offered was sold out after I had already had my mouth set on receiving it. However, after I got over the disappointment I ordered something else. The crabcakes were exactly that with no fillers whatsoever. The swordfish delicious and the lobster was cooked to perfection. It appears that Richmond has a lot of hidden jewels like this in the area in places that looks like abandoned wear houses.
