”This was the best meal we had in Richmond!! I had the crab cakes and the clam chowder. The crab cakes were not breaded, thankfully, and they were absolute perfection. Possibly the best crab cakes I’ve ever had! I also had the clam chowder, which was basically a delicious, thin potato soup with some clams in the bottom. So if you’re looking for a thick, creamy, clammy chowder, this is not that. But I still enjoyed it. My party also had the fish and chips and the swordfish and all of us enjoyed our meals immensely! The caramel espresso martini was also a highlight” -- Google review, 10/11/2026
