Stepping into The Tobacco Company Restaurant, I was immediately struck by its unique charm that seemed to blend a touch of old Manhattan's bookish elegance with Richmond's historic vibe. The interior, with its red brick walls and wooden beams accented by lush green plants and eclectic chandeliers, sets a scene that's both inviting and intriguing. The atmosphere here truly feels like a page out of a novel, bustling with energy and a lively crowd.
While the food received mixed reviews, with some dishes like the crab soup and stuffed mushrooms standing out more than others, it was the overall experience that made my visit memorable. The cocktails, especially the inventive 'Peanut Butter Old Fashioned', added a fun twist to the evening. The service was commendable too; the staff went above and beyond, making sure every guest felt taken care of, even offering to cover unexpected parking tickets with a round of drinks, which was a delightful surprise.
Despite some hits and misses with the menu, The Tobacco Company Restaurant offers more than just a meal; it provides a vibrant dining experience wrapped in the warmth of Richmond's rich history and a dash of inventive hospitality.
