First time here. Reservations are highly recommended. There is no where to stand or sit inside the restaurant to wait on a table. There is a bench out front but the day we went it was windy. Great food service was a little slow but still great. We ordered chicken & waffles lump crab cake on fried green tomatoes. Spoon bread of course fruit & potatoes. So delicious! We will be back to try the full menu because we only tried brunch.

2018-09-14 these people are really nice and really good at what they do! Called, left voicemail with my reservation, called at 3pm and someone answered the phone, answered my questions about parking and then I scheduled reservation. Upon arrival at 5pm, there was no one else, we were seated and Paul our server took our order and was an excellent server, he told us the specials for the day, answered questions about the menu and gave recommendations as well. The yeast rolls and honey butter were so good! The cucumber water was unique and the mock tails (nonalcoholic) tasted so good. The Caesar salad and scallops with Caramel corn pudding were excellent! The rockfish and lobster entree was excellent too. We asked for our desert to go and were impressed with the packaging and when we got home, the waffle strawberry shortcake tasted so good. Ordered the chocolate cherry tort, hope to eat it soon.
2019-04-20 called to schedule reservation, had to call back several times to postpone later in the evening and they reserved the table that I requested for an hour (thank you!), the server was nice attentive and got us in and out as fast as he could even though it started to get busy after we arrived, the oysters were excellent, the special (salmon) and chicken entree was good and the spoonbread and yeast rolls were good as always!

The synergy of Southern food and French finishings is hard to find elsewhere. The chef is very well noted for his techniques and innovations. Goes for fine dining in a casual environment. Great menu of meat and seafood dishes. Also hosts outstanding wine dinners and private events.

I had the lobster pop tart which is so delicious and succulent. I also had the salad and the duck. But before you have the pleasure of eating, you will be met by the most pleasant face introduced as the staff. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food here.

I'm the bus driver 44. I drove Rolfe Middle School summer program lead by Ms. Sharne'. The students were being taught etiquette by Ms. Thomas. The special meal they prepared for students was delicious. I would want that on the menu if I revisit.

A little slice of Heaven in RVA! My husband and I went here for dinner on New Years Eve and were blown away! Along with the beautiful atmosphere the service and food were out of this world! Everything from start to finish was just amazing and I would highly recommend everyone try this place!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and had an excellent experience. Sever was very knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating to my guest questions. Will definitely return for dinner to experience the full menu.
Jennifer Winston
The food was absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful; from the complimentary valet parking staff, matredee, to the wait staff. I will definitely be returning for brunch.

Delicious! The bartender made the most delicious French 75 and Kevin was an attentive server. I ordered the special of the day which was a seafood skillet with lobster, scallops, shrimp and crab with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. It was the perfect serving size and everything was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the bacon wrapped pork chop. He enjoyed it but said it wasn’t spectacular. However he raved about the bread pudding. It’s amazing. I also enjoyed the chocolate cherry ganache I ordered.

I've been here a few times and really enjoyed the food each time. The first time I went I was with a bunch of friends and we shared a bunch of appetizers. There was a pasta dish on the menu that was delicious and the scallops were so buttery good. Everything I tried I loved (minus the Foie Gra, but that's because I personally do not ever like the dish but my friends pushed me to try it because they liked it). Parking has been easy enough to obtain for me. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a reservation for mothers day brunch, and it was such a good experience. We were seated on time, and the table had a beautiful orchid on it that my wife could take home. The prices were reasonable, with 5 dollar mimosas and bloody Mary's. The bloody mary was well made. The entrees ranged from $10 to $17 dollars. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. I had the cock madam, and the betchimal sauce was very good. The fried chicken waffles were good and filling. The service was great as well. It's not the first time we've eaten here, and it won't be the last either!
Tiffany Moore
It was really good! The food was great and the servers were fantastic. I am unsure they were well equipped to handle a larger group. The food came out very slowly. Over all, though I most certainly go back for brunch or dinner!

This was our first visit and I can say without hesitation that this will be in my top ten restaurants in Richmond! Everything, absolutely everything was perfect. Our waitress was wonderful. She was informative about the menu and specials and very friendly and attentive. The food was nothing short of elegant! We ordered a garden salad which was a work of art. Almost too pretty to eat...almost. I ate a filet mignon with crab meat. Asparagus and mashed potatoes were attractively placed on the plate. I wasn’t going to get dessert but changed my mind and had lemon chess. The prices were a little high but was worth it (although I didn’t pay this time!). Great place for anniversaries, birthdays or special night out. No spoon bread but still incredibly wonderful.

We did not have a good experience last night, 6/30 at all.
I ate there with friends on Thursday evening it was so good I made a reservation for Saturday evening for myself and three others, we arrived on time and were seated 20 minutes late , that was no big deal however there was a unreasonable delay in getting our drinks , the waiter opened the wine bottle, had me taste it put the bottle on the table , but never poured it. my friend ordered a glass of wine was brought the bottle that had to go back we ordered three Caesar salad‘s one house salad , they didn’t come out together and they were all Cesar , my husband and I had the steak, it was so tough we could not eat it. We then obviously had to wait for replacement Meals We ordered more drinks, new meals were just ok. The chicken was dry. The manager was very nice when we complained but didn’t comp us so much as a glass of wine or a free dessert. We spent close to $300.00 and it was a terrible disappointment!
Karen DiJoseph Gelsomini
Terrible experience. Was there for my husbands birthday with family. Not only were we seated 20 min late from a 7pm reservation, our food arrived an hour and a half later. The food was cold and the steak was dry. We complained to the manger. She was very rude and was not of any help. We will never go back and do not recommend at all. Plenty of other restaurants to try. Very disappointed.

I’m a word- AH-MAZ-ING! I’m a foodie and love RVA restaurants but hadn’t been here. James waited on us upstairs and he was fantastic. His suggestions for appetizer, drinks, entree and dessert were spot on. Sea bass was so good. I may be dreaming about it! Lobster pop tart-yum! All the staff were so efficient. Manager came by and chatted with us too. Great date night spot. We will be back!

I had reserved a table for 11 about 2 to 3 weeks in advance and was advised for every person that did not show up, I would have to pay $25 each. We ALL showed up, sat down to have a nice dinner, and discuss business. Everyone ordered something from the menu, except for 3. I receive the bill at the end of the night, after waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes for the waiter to get all checks "corrected" with a non-dining fee of $75. I request to speak with the manager who then tells me that it was revenue that they lost since those 3 in my party didn't eat and that it was the same as them not showing up. Granted, policy is policy. I get it. But it was not explained to me over the phone nor at the restaurant upon my arrival. She was very rude, sarcastic, and unprofessional even when the 3 folks tried to order appetizers at that point, telling us are you going to get it TO GO? When they asked for menus, she sarcastically said, "Sure!" And walked away frowning. At the end of the day, this could have all been avoided. What started out as a nice dinner amongst friends ended on a sour note. Not to mention we had to wait a very long time for everyone's food to come out. The server was very good nonetheless, understanding, and apologetic for the general managers behavior. Very disrespectful, will never patronize again.

Went to Spoonbread to celebrate a birthday - atmosphere, staff, food, drinks were all fantastic. They even gave the birthday boy a dessert of his choosing for free. Worth the drive from Fredericksburg for sure!
John Taxin
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. As a fellow restauranteur I highly recommend Spoonbread Bistro.
Daryl Taylor
The crab cakes were the best ever. No bread, only pure crab meat with an excellent sauce.
Brenda Baskette Roane
One of the best meals I’ve ever had in RVA!!! Unique specialty cocktails, perfectly prepared appetizers and entrees with beautiful presentation and sinfully delicious deserts.
I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends!
It was a great dining experience with a true southern flair ( Sally Lunn bread)!They even wiped the crumbs from my table which you do not find in many restaurants and made sure I had clean utensils for the next course.
Sharon V Williams
I really love this place! The food was simply divine! Lovely internal design and atmosphere. Food was flavored to perfection.
Sherry Giles Easter
I had the pleasure of dining there for my sister's birthday dinner. There were four of us. Each of us ordered a different entree. Each entree was so delicious, we were not even able to articulate just how good our meals were. The device was great! The salads and soup were wonderful. And the desert was amazing! We will definitely return!
Margaret Gaspard
