    Great 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.

    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.

    Great 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. 😉

    One 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.

    Come 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 daytime

    Tom 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.

    Ask about the homemade cinnamon moonshine. On second thought, you're probably not cool enough to actually get to try it...

    *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.
