Amour Wine Bistro

I couldn't have been happier with my experience here. We opted for escargot and a cheese/charcuterie plate for an appetizer, medium rare duck breast and medium rare steak for entree, and a creme brulee to finish, all excellently paired with wines by Paul, the host. This is certainly a gem in the city of Richmond, and although the prices are a bit high, you pay for the professional service, cleanliness, and a superb quality of product. By far the best dining experience I've ever had in Richmond. I will absolutely be returning sometime in the next couple of months.

Wonderful place to visit. We were visiting form out of town, are wine bar connoisseurs, and decided to stop in. The staff and owner were very friendly and even greet you in French at the door! The owner is from Strasbourg, France and was able to point out on a map where the wine we ordered was from and all of the other wine regions in France. I wish we lived in Richmond, we would come every week!

There is nothing like it in Richmond. Amour captures the exquisite delicate flavors of french cuisine and never falls short on impeccable wine and cheese pairings. The staff and customer service is a direct reflection of Paul and the expectations he sets for his guests. Excellent on all counts: cleanliness, customer service, and an amazing experience.

From the moment we walked in the owner gave us such a bad look and attitude. But we we had our teen age daughter with us so we were trying to be positive.However he made it so obvious he started walking around the restaurant greeting each table with white guest and skipped our table. I am sorry I dint mean to sound ignorant we are mix couple.I think he has a deep problem with race and the bad things is,I don't even know the review we read about the food.,It's not good at all, specially for the price, most definitely its not french.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. We thought it was just OK. I had the crab topped salad for my appetizer. The crab was not very flavorful and didn't add much to the salad, which was otherwise rather bitter. I had the filet mignon for my main, which was very tender, albeit not very flavorful. It was served in a sauce, which did add some flavor to it, but was not that grilled steak flavor I expected. i had a salted creme brule for dessert, which was not bad, but not delicious either. Atmosphere was nice, however, we were only the 2nd couple to arrive at the restaurant and were seating right next to the the only other couple. There was a sign posted asking you to silence your phone. As such, I would have thought that maybe we would have been seated further away to have some more privacy and quiet from other diners. Overall it wasn't bad. Maybe if I were more of a wine drinker, could have taken advantage of the perfect pairings of wine offered with each course. Nevertheless, we have been to other high end restaurants and we both felt that we have had better food elsewhere.

100% FANTASTIC, if you truly want a 100% authentic French dining experience this is it. Be sure to say hi to the owner, it will surely add to the experience. The ney sayers are not familiar with a truly french experience ps the foie gras is as good as it get for the USA, the chef prepared and paired all wines to PERFECTION. The price is $$$-$$$$ however so is the experience.
