Restaurants near James River State Park

The experience was wonderful. It was my first time going, celebrating my birthday, and I would definitely recommend. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic and the owner stopped by to see how the evening was going, to see what we were celebrating and wished me a happy birthday. I will be going again.

The food at The Tobacco Company is always very good and the service is consistently outstanding. It seems no matter who our server is we are always treated like welcome guests by the entire front of the house staff. Our server, Bekah, as well as the other front of the house staff, kept their eyes on our table and we never had to wait to have a plate cleared or a glass refilled. We especially appreciate our server paying attention to our table and timing our courses such that we never have more than one course at a time on our table. We never feel rushed or ignored at The Tobacco Company which makes an evening out for dinner seem like a special occasion.

This place was bumping! Everything was exceptional…a little loud, but to be expected as busy as the place is. My only issue was my mussels were on the cool side… as though they were probably done before my wife’s meal & sat in the pick-up window for a few minutes before coming to the table. They were still delicious, just not hot. The service was perfect. Our table super nice. Staff was friendly & had a sense of urgency, yet calm. My wife will go back again & again!

The food was excellent. I did not take a photo of our order before we ate it but it was all delicious. My husband had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the Rueben sandwich, both excellent. He also had the She Crabby soup which was so good we bought some to go. If you’re in the Richmond area, just go and enjoy.

We enjoyed our meal though the food was not outstanding. Our dinner group was. It was a little complicated because the restaurant closed to set up for dinner and it was still very crowded. Stella's is not the place for a quiet, relaxing meal, even at 2:30 in the afternoon.
