Best Restaurants for Foodies in Dumbarton

The Tea at Floris @ the VMFA is just lovely. This was our second visit. We were greeted warmly and seated at our table for 4 near the fireplace. Because we visited close to Valentine's Day, we were offered a special Valentine's Day menu in addition to the regular tea menu. We stuck with the tea menu but added a glass of Cava. We were celebrating a birthday and they were kind enough to bring a piece of red velvet cake to help us celebrate. It was moist and delicious. Our tea started with a pot of Masala Chai and a pot of white tea (cherry blossom) followed by freshly made (still warm) scone and walnut cranberry bread. These were served with their homemade elderberry spread. So delicious!! Next came the tea service - savory sandwiches and a small piece of quiche which was so creamy and eggy - amazing. The sweets on the tray were beautiful to look at and tasty to eat particularly the cream puff. Our server was attentive and knew the menu well. We can't wait to go again.

Everything was amazing! I had my 50th birthday brunch with my girlfriends there. We all had a magnificent time. The atmosphere was upbeat and friendly. The food was delicious. The waitress and servers were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the savory crane for birthday celebrations or to meet with friends for a festive meal in RVA!

Staff was friendly and prompt, they went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The rockfish and salmon entrees were perfectly cooked and the cocktails were phenomenal. The space was quiet and inviting, and never felt like we had to talk over the room ambience or other patrons. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Located in the Westin hotel is a farm to table restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great service and delicious dishes. The mixologists at the bar can make just about anything. and even made blue cheese stuff olives for a nice dirty martini.

It was my first time - I had high expectations as I had heard amazing things. It was a special birthday dinner. We thought the food was good.... but didn't blow our minds, considering the price point. A lot of the food seemed overly salted/seasoned and that's coming from someone who loves their salt. The Fondue appetizer and Zeppole dessert (like italian beignets made with ricotta) were both extraordinary and I would come back for those.
