This was a return visit to this sweet neighborhood restaurant. Wonderful food, smooth, prompt and friendly service, and a relaxing chic vibe all made for a great evening. Definitely will order the Scottish salmon served with a corn chowder and a hint of smoked bacon again. The chestnut soup was as delicious as ever, and the generous salad of local greens topped things off. We'll be back!

Hidden gem: I was so happy to have found this enchanting local restaurant! The food is hands-down amazing: delicious and creative like you’d normally only find in a big city. Our waiter was charming, knowledgeable, AND so kind and patient (a couple of our party are very picky eaters), he really added positive points to the experience. There’s more seating than at first appears, so we were able to get in last minute on a Saturday evening. I LOVE that the menu changes often; more chances to try new flavors. We’ll definitely be back!

Man I wanted to like this meal. The menu looked great, the pictures looked wonderful, and it seemed very creative. Unfortunately, there was little flavor at all. We tried the filet, soup, and four different appetizers. The soup was actually fantastic. The rest was unfortunately very average especially for what is charged. I hate to write a negative review but it should have been much better.

This was one of our best dining experiences in recent memory. The charcuterie was delicious and the portions were generous. Our salmon and pork chop entrees were both fantastic, and the strawberry basil cake was a delightful surprise. Our server, Mark, was professional and engaging. We’ll be back!

Our only complaint was that our pasta (that was served with the chicken) was very undercooked and inedible. Everything else about our meal was delicious, but despite letting our server know that the pasta was undercooked, and we only got an apology. I feel they should’ve have adjusted the bill a bit. The rest of our meal was fine.

We are lucky to have Midlothian Chef's Kitchen as one of Richmond's go-to restaurants. The food and service never disappoint and it's a great option to catch up with friends because they never hurry you and the noise level is low enough to enjoy good conversation.
