Elizabeth TerrellApril 22, 2012Great backroom for private parties! It has its own bar, bathroom, and exit. Delicious brunch food especially the quiche, bacon, hollandaise sauce, home fries, and asparagus.

Food and drinks here are both delicious. Good music and cool vibes, except the bouncers can surpass a daddy's-money-wealthy, Hamptons-going yuppie in their douchiness. So watch out for that I guess.UpvoteDownvote
The smoked blue fish dip is a must. Make sure to ask for extra bay crisps. They don't give you a ton... Ands it's fun to say bay crisps. Seriously, the dip is among the best apps in the city.UpvoteDownvote
Julia Lord NickleOctober 18, 2014Great music and dance parties late night. Ask for a sazerac, they light up the essence of the lemon peel with a match. It's perfect. 😉Upvote1Downvote
LBFebruary 22, 2011One of my new favorite restaurants in Richmond! The people there were awesome! Must try the Lamb Meatballs & The Truffle Fries. For entrees try the Braised Beef Short Rib & The Fillet Mignon.UpvoteDownvote
Herschel StrategoSeptember 15, 2013Come here for lunch when you get a chance...less attractive people flaunting their rich looks. And the dishes are better, and actually affordable around the daytimeUpvote2Downvote

Dave CarwileJuly 8, 2012Tom Yum Yum drink hit the spot on a 100 degree night! Loves the 'heat' it leaves. Very refreshing. Pork Belly was the bomb! Great dinner.UpvoteDownvote
Courtney StanderferJanuary 4, 2014Ask about the homemade cinnamon moonshine. On second thought, you're probably not cool enough to actually get to try it...UpvoteDownvote
Copeland CasatiJune 6, 2010*Delicious* family-style dinners on Sunday at Balliceaux! Try the fried cauliflower, chickpea + cucumber pickle appetizer. Whole chicken + lamb family dinners fed 3 adults, 2 children.UpvoteDownvote
Jason BApril 17, 2012Sunday Supper's family style meals are an amazing bargain. The full fish and risotto were cooked to perfection.
