Good Places to Eat


   The Richmond Metro Area has many great choices when it comes to food. I have taken this opportunity to share some of the best places that I have personally been to and often recommend to my customers. More places will continue to be added, so please visit again soon. Gentleman Taxi receives no compensation from the restaurants listed and these are listed as recommendations for our customers and community. Know an exceptional restaurant? Please let us know.

 
Did I mention FRESH, FRESH, and real FRESH!

Anthony & George's Steak House

   Anthony & George's would get my vote for Best Steakhouse in Richmond as well as seafood, pasta and a full bar. The food is always FRESH and they cut their steaks themselves. You can tell the difference in the quality of the meat and the cook will prepare your food to perfection. The service is always the best and the coconut creme pie will melt in your mouth! Breakfast is available on the weekend. Prices are a good deal and your plate will be running over or you can get it to go. Check out their new website and tell them Tom from Gentleman Taxi sent you.

Tobacco Company Restaurant at 12th & Cary St. Downtown Richmond

Tobacco Company Restaurant

   The Tobacco Company has been a long time favorite landmark for many years by local Richmonders and also regarded as a must do when visiting Richmond. Business and casual attire is recommended at this fine dining establishment. The restaurant has a fine selection of steak and seafood as well as house specialties. Many folks enjoy the fine cigars being sold by the beautiful cigar girls. The club downstairs is a favorite spot on the weekends for dancing with a "happy hour" starting at 8pm sometimes with lines of people waiting to get in.
