Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.

Outstanding food and service above and beyond!! Jeremy is the best waiter I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. He expertly prepared cocktails for all in our party and effectively entertained us while informing on menu and specials. He seemed more of a trusted friend than a waiter. I can strongly recommend La Grotta for both food and outstanding service!

We regularly eat at Amuse when we visit. It is always consistently good food, a lovely ambiance and friendly, efficient service. The menu selections are varied and well executed. I highly recommend visiting Amuse when you visiting VMFA or Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
