The food at Fall Line is excellent, and not just for a hotel restaurant. We have eaten there four or five times but have never stayed at the hotel.

I highly recommend L'Opposum. It is by far my favorite restaurant in Richmond. The service is great and the food is fantastic. I love how creative they are with all their dishes and their seasonal menu always makes me curiously excited to see what they have come up with. You have to try their soup it never misses!
