Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ashland

We made our reservations for 4:00 on Thanksgiving. We were offered their regular menu and a special menu for Thanksgiving, which is what we ordered. It included butternut squash soup, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots and green beans. It also included dessert, a slice of pumpkin praline cheesecake for believe it or not, $34.98. We started with an appetizer which we didn’t need, flatbread with feta and grilled tomatoes drizzled with balsamic. Crazy delicious! The soup was good and there was a generous serving of turkey, including a small portion of dark meat. The mashed potatoes were also good and the stuffing was okay. I am very picky about stuffing. It was mostly bread and I think I saw carrots in it but regardless it was bland. There was also gravy. The vegetables were awesome and the dessert was excellent. I had an espresso martini and my husband an old fashioned and beer. I ended up taking some dinner and dessert home. Our waitress, Sunshine, was pretty great too.

The staff are ALL awesome! The greeters actually reviewed our request and arranged it! Everyone is so helpful, even top leaders checked on people to ensure the dining experience is grand . But Jenna, yes Jenna, is amazing! Our fourth time here and she is always our host(server) - we ask to be seated in her area and she does not disappoint. We have adopted her. The food, as always, is scrumptious, well seasoned, and served timely. The spices and seasonings are amazing adding to our experience! We enjoy the variety of flavors and dishes - my taste buds are in heaven! We dine here twice a year ( 2+ hour drive) and are never disappointed! Planning our next visit already ~~~ Thank you Jenna and all the staff for making us feel like part of the family!

My favorite restaurant in Richmond. Outstanding food, service and ambience. Very friendly staff who always make you feel welcome. We’ve eaten here several times over the years and the quality of the food is consistently top notch. Special thanks to Anja, our server.

Consistently wonderful. We were celebrating the holidays a little early and Buckheads delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered cocktails, calamari and a variety of their filet mignon steaks. While we are always impressed with the food, our server was attentive and wanted us to be 100% satisfied with every detail. I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too boozy for my tastes and he happily returned it and didn't charge us. This is my preferred special dining establishment in Richmond.

A friend recommended to try Stella’s while visiting Richmond. Glad I did! Food , service, atmosphere was perfect. So many yummy things on the menu it was hard to not order it all. Will definitely bring going back next time I’m in town.
