- AAmandaVirginia •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoWe came to celebrate my husbands birthday and our server was phenomenal. We ordered a couple of apps; crab and artichoke dip, hushpuppies, and calamari. The crab dip was a tad mild in flavor, the calamari had a great flavor to it but needed salt, the hushpuppies were good. My husband ordered a platter that came with scallops, shrimp, mashed potatoes, and a crabcake. He said the potatoes were really good but the crabcake was mainly filler. This was disappointing as that meal was pricey. Overall the food lacked seasoning. A little attention to salt and pepper would make a big difference.More infoThe Boathouse at Short PumpPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Richmond•4.4
- SSuzanneVirginia •98 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI had high expectations for Stella's based on all of the positive reviews over the years and Stella's totally lived up to the expectations and, in fact, exceeded expectations. Our server Hannah knew the menu quite well and was able to make on point recommendations to us about the food and the beverages. She did a great job describing all of the specials to us. The portions here are large so come hungry. You will get your money's worth!! The first page of the menu is meze which can be shared. I saw several people get the saganaki which looked delicious and provided a fun viewing since it comes out on fire. The next page is full of traditional Greek dishes. I had the salad on special as my appetizer - spinach, toasted pita, almonds, pomegranate arils and cheese. Delicious and huge - we could have shared it. My entree was the pastichio but over pasta. Also huge and yummy. Our dessert was the chocolate ouzo moussed. SO GOOD. I can't wait to return to Stella's.More infoStella's - RichmondPrice: Moderate• Greek• Richmond•4.9

- AAmritaWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoPrivate Party event in the lobby, made it very crowded and loud. The inside of the restaurant was quieter. Service was good, a little slow with the dinner rush and crowd. But very friendly. Lobster roll was delish, lots of lobster meat. However lost points for the butternut squash fettuccine. It was bland, no taste, dry, not enough sauce for the noodles. Do not recommend. We loved the crab dip for appetizer and the lobster roll. Ambiance was full of holiday magic!More infoTJ's at the Jefferson HotelPrice: Moderate• American• Richmond•3.9
