Chefs Kitchen in Richmond

I love the pasta here, but tried the steak sandwich for lunch. The focaccia bread was great. Fries nice and crispy

Food was excellent, service was great. Staff is friendly and very helpful.

Vegetarian options: My veggie sandwich was excellent and affordable. Saw other options on menu - salads, pizzas. Nice atmosphere. Food

This is a sweet restaurant in a boutique hotel. Every single person who worked there, from the conceierge to the front desk worker to the server (Adam) and the person clearing the tables, went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Well be back!

My husband and I were the only table in the entire place which initially worried us, but now we just don t understand how it s not a full house every night?! We had a wonderful experience starting with proper espresso martinis and old fashioneds. We got the tuna tartar as an app very fresh and perfect balance of flavors. I got the wild mushroom risotto with salmon. The risotto was creamy and flavorful with tons of mushrooms. The salmon, cooked to perfection. My husband got the beef bolognese with house-made fettuccini pasta and loved every bite. We hadn t planned on it l, but ended up sharing their house-made passionfruit panna cotta, which was divine.. semi-sweet, tangy and the perfect palate cleanser. The food took a while to come out but we were not in a hurry and just confirmed for us that everything was being made to order. Highly recommend!

The ambience and the service was amazing, I tried the fried calamari and the osobuco, both were really tasteful, I loved it. Thank you Radha for your kind service.

Please, order the ossobuco if is still in the menu so good. The server was really nice with us and work really hard on thanks giving. We really appreciate your attention, thank you Radha. The bread is to die for.

Accepted my online order and charged me just for me to get there and they aren t open.

The restaurant was delicious. I had eggs Benedict for breakfast and salmon with Mango sauce. Our server, Carter, was friendly and attentive. The hotel is clean and beautiful.

Was staying at the hotel and came by for breakfast. Excellent French toast, very fluffy with a crispy outside. Cooked perfectly and served with berries. Highly recommended.

The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and the prices are unbelievable! A hidden gem, try it you wont be sorry. Food

Went here for work lunch. 5 stars all round for food and service. Also not too expensive.

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Parking: Parked at a garage down the street. Food : 5/5 |

We ate here the night before the Richmond marathon. The food was good but when we asked to order more bread we were told no as there was limited supply for a fully booked night. Given that they knew they were fully booked for the evening, management should have done a better job supporting their staff which was just one person the whole night. He did the best he could as the host, bartender, waiter, server, and busser but obviously could not keep up with a full restaurant on his own. No employee deserves to be treated this way and I hope he finds a place that will respect him and his efforts more.

We went there for dinner and both the food and the service (Kadha) were excellent. However, I ordered a Manhattan and it came with ice in the glass. Also, the atmosphere was less good. For example, I had to take an elevator to go to the restroom.

SOOOO GOODDDD!!! I GOT THE CARBONARA LINGUINI WITH CHICKEN!! I RECOMMEND IT!! ITS SO DELICIOUS!! SEASONED SO WELL!! ALL THE FLAVORS ARE JUST BLENDED TOGETHER PERFECTLY!!

Dinner at the Chef s Table inside of the Berkeley Hotel was DE-Licious! Our scallops appetizer, my berry and goat cheese green salad and my husband s fresh salmon, potatoes, asparagus and broccoli was followed by a passion fruit panne cotta topped with homemade coconut ice cream and raspberries! Service was excellent, loved the classy dinner music and decor. Great prices too considering their competition. Do yourself a favor and eat here. The lamb shank and pizza on different tables looked yummy too!

Great place for a meal. Food is great and the service was excellent. I will be coming back.

Awesome food! Got food catered for an event over the weekend, and guess what All the dishes were just gone!!!! Highly recommended.

Great food and great service! Fancy vibes without fancy prices.

Great food, even better service (server called Adam). Ill be going back for sure.

How is this not a highlight in google search?! I travel and rely on reviews mostly from google. I stayed at the hotel this restaurant resides in and when I google restaurants it was hidden. I don t understand how this works, thinking based upon reviews. Well this place is charming with wonderful cuisine and service! Thank you Adam for the conversation & great service

Parking: Adam was heading up the dinning room and bar - first class Food

The food here was amazing. One of the top bolognese I ve had from a restaurant. Would be 5 stars, but the food was a bit slow.

What a lovely meal and atmosphere. A relaxing evening in a beautiful environment. Staff made us feel very special.

A very quaint restaurant where the service was great and the food was delicious!

The food is delicious and the staff is very kind and friendly. chef s kitchen. Food

Excellent. Definitely will be back. Adam was great

Great food and very attentive to husbands dairy allergy! Highly recommend

Wonderful experience, even better food! I had the braised lamb, SO GOOD!

The Seafood Pizza was outstanding!

The food was delicious! The window seating also had an amazing view from the inside, the service took a while but the wait was worth it!

I had the pleasure of dining at Chefs Kitchen tonight, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening as we revisit Richmond! Our meals were nothing short of extraordinary every dish was a burst of flavors that felt carefully crafted and very unique. From the lovely and flavorful Beet & Berry Salad and the Burrata appetizers to the main courses (Gnocchi pasta and the Beef Filet Cambozla), each bite was better than the last! Our palates were singing! It s all about the flavors The ingredients were fresh, and the chef s attention to detail was clear in every aspect of the meal from preparation to presentation. And the service was attentive (Thank You, Analdo!) and genuinely sincere. It truly is up there among one of our best dining experiences... as the food will NOT disappoint! I promise Highly recommend!

Absolute worst chicken parmigiana Ive ever had. Tasted and appeared steamed. Breading was mush (not mushy, mush) and detached from chicken. What I received was a naked, flavorless, slimy cutlet cut in half and sitting in a watery sauce, with a side of very al dente penne (also flavorless).

The waitress Carter was very friendly

Very delicious Italian food, beautiful atmosphere , friendly, smiling, attentive staff. Overall, an amazing Italian jewel!

Did not know what to expect from the Chefs Kitchen but it was a convenient choice for dinner after a long car ride. Boy was i pleasantly surprised. Very friendly service, old time Virginia charm atmosphere and excellent menu selections with portions just right and quality very high. Went again for breakfast and experience was same. Whether you stay at the Berkeley Hotel or not, Chefs Kitchen is a perfect choice for good food and atmosphere.

Best of Richmond! Carter is wonderful and you ll find the best stuff around here.

Server Carter is very nice. The mushroom risotto is fantastic

Server Carter extremely professional. Fantastic Mushroom Risotto, one of the best Ive ever had. Ive been cooking for 3 decades, make it myself, have traveled extensively to Europe. Highly recommend here in Richmond VA. Food

We had an amazing dinner and evening of entertainment! We had the Beet and Berry Salad . . . . my husband said it was the best he has had! And he is a world traveler. Also had the scallops and saffron sauce and spinach- fantastic, moist with nice crust. Next Tuna Tartare, so complex and fresh. Entrees Braised Lamb Shank and Veal Ossobuco Sooooo perfectly prepared. Food a 2 -star Michelin. Hidden Richmond gem. Not to mention the songstress Ella Wagoner .

Great food and large portions. Service was super friendly and it s a great environment!

The Ceasar Salad, Lasagna and Bread were delicious. The service was courteous and timely. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Wonderful spot for cocktails, dinner and relaxation after a busy day of sightseeing!

We love Carter! Youll enjoy meeting her. Try the eggs benedict. They are probably the best this side of Las Vegas.

The food was phenomenal! Exceptional quality and presentation.

Great service, great drinks, great food. Across from the tobacco company but beats them with food and price. Their filet is a 5 star taste! Wow!! Do yourself a favor and stay at the the Berkeley where the restaurant is located.

The Salmon with veggies, potatoes and that Mango Sauce was divine!!!

Awesome (unexpected) experience!!!! Had the penne pasta with smoked salmon and added asparagus!

The food was exceptional and pur server was personable, helpful and attentive.There was some confusion in the kitchen about our order, but they caught the error on their own and corrected it with only a slight delay. The dish was worth the wait

Gnocchi were discolored and unappetizing! Contacted restaurant several time but no response

Great Lamb! Delicious, enjoyed very much.

Beautiful place to eat in and the prices are great too! And the food? Tasty!! Wonderful place! Parking: Paid parking

Food was delicious, atmosphere was grand, service was amazing.

Very delicious italian food! And the service was very polite and nice. We d come back!

Love this place! Carter and Jhett are amazing! The food is amazing! People are amazing!

Everything was so good! I found The Chefs Kitchen RVA, nestled within the historic Berkeley Hotel, to truly be a hidden gem. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with impeccable service. Thank you Bryan! The food, was amazing, cooked to perfection, beautiful presentation and the spices on point! The wine selection complemented all entrees and finally, specialty drinks, made to order, perfect!

Ate at Chefs Kitchen while staying at the Berkeley hotel - ordered the Orchard pizza (I think thats what it was called, with pears), and the Beet & Berry salad --- salad was amazing but a little heavy on the dressing/sauce, which is really sweet - if you want to tone it down, order light dressing or on the side. But really very good. Pizza was cooked well - I didnt like the white sauce but that was more a taste preference than anything, just tried something new - overall was prepared very well. During my stay the AC wasnt working so the atmosphere was non-existent but looked like a cool place to hang out or have a lunch meeting. Would definitely go again and stick with a more traditional pizza : )

Fileto Cambozola was fantastic! Radha was very attentive and friendly Food : 5/5

CHEF gives a wonderful welcome to his restaurant the food is delicious and the presentation amazing come join him for breakfast, lunch and dinner you wont be disappointed

The service, the staff, the menu selections were superb! We have been treated like royalty from the moment we arrived at this wonderful hotel and restaurant. I cannot recommend the Berkeley Hotel highly enough.

We had the best experience with Sean. He is so kind, friendly and very professional. We highly suggest stopping by and experience firsthand how special, appreciated and valued as a guest with him. He takes the time to get to know you and have conversations with you to make you feel valued.

Lunch service took 1 hour and 45 minutes for seven patrons the ONLY patrons present. Service was horrible. The server never asked if we wanted drinks at all. Worst part is that the server marked the table as a large group so that we were automatically charged a 20% gratuity when the restaurant should have received ZERO dollars for a tip. Feels like a complete scam. Stay far, FAR away from this hole in the earth. You have been warned.

Excellent scallop dish, amazing scampi. And risotto! The wine selection is wonderful. Calm atmosphere, wonderful service! Thank you!

Excellent food and service. Nice relaxing place to enjoy a thoughtfully created meal after a long day. So glad I gave it a try!

Food beautifully plated and delicious. Excellent service right in the Berkeley Hotel! Great for full meal as well as pizza and cocktails! Will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant. Not only was the food delicious, but Chris, the bartender and server truly stole the show with his creative and unique drink concoctions. The customer service was outstanding. The bartender was not only knowledgeable about his craft but also friendly and personable, making us feel right at home at the bar. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a stellar dining experience with top-notch drinks and exceptional customer service. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!

Excellent service, good cocktails and decent food. Not badly priced either.

Chefs Kitchen is Amazing. Kaja Jagubar, head chef, took our order, waited on us and cooked our meal! What a talented and wonderful person! Our lunch was delicious. I got the tuna Tartar and the Beet and berry Salad. Mom got a Veggie Focasia Sandwich. It was all so fresh and tasty. Much of their food is locally grown or made in house Some, like the mint and violet garnish are grown in house! The ambiance is classic, white table cloths, and relaxing. What a wonderful experience!!!!

From Katie and Belinda, thank you for your wonderful food. The manager is kind and their chef keeps busy! For those who come in, there may be a wait but DONT BE DECEIVED. IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

The good: my breakfast was delicious. The breakfast burger was delicious, the fried potatoes were fresh and hot. THE BAD: though there were only two tables occupied when my party of thee arrived, it took a full 68 minutes for our food to arrive. We had to request -and wait for - refills for coffee. No syrup was provided for the French toast. When the waiter finally brought out syrup, it turned out to be honey, instead! At the end, I had to hunt down the server to request our check. Finally, the checks and credit cards were mixed up and given to the wrong persons.

The food is amazing and very tasty, prices are very reasonable as well

The bartender Lou was great

Delicious food, delightful staff and service.

I d give this spot a 10/5 if possible. Lou the bartender was very attentive and knowledgeable of the wines/ cocktails. Hole in the wall spot you just try! I had the osobuca (slow cooked braised bone in veal with saffron risotto and seasonal vegetables). Definitely will be back for a local date night spot that you wouldn t guess! 10/10

Had lunch and dinner on different days. My friends and I loved how fresh the food was. Food tastes great. Food presentation was excellent. Ambience was great, The staff was great. We loved the complimentary in house fresh and hot Focaccia bread and the sauce that was served before our lunch. Best part of this restaurant is walkable distance to all the state offices and other businesses in downtown. We will definitely go there more often. Vegetarian options: Many options for Vegetarians.
