The Tobacco Company Restaurant

The building is historic, it oozes charm and elegance. The food is incredible. The cocktails are great and even if some aren't quite great they are at least inventive. I tried a "Peanut Butter Old Fashioned" tonight, I'm not sure why it worked, but it did. The wait staff were super professional and did amazing. Parking is really the only tricky part, but it is worth the effort.

Everything was simply amazing. I splurged this evening and my wife and I enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, main course and even desert! Nothing disappointed. The drinks were very creative as well as delicious. The food was perfectly prepared and presented, and the flavors were simply amazing. Our waitress, Becka, was a sweetie and very knowledgeable about the food we were ordering as well as the drinks. The MOST amazing part of our dining experience here was the atmosphere though! Three floors with an atrium in the center and a working exposed lift if you don't want to take the stairs! The Tobacco Company Restaurant is definitely the best dining experience I have ever had in my 56 years!

Do yourself a favor and get the prime rib! The scallops or shrimp make an excellent surf & turf, and to start, may I recommend the calamari?
My table was very satisfied with the fried oysters, she crab soup, and arugula salad with candied nuts.
The service is what you'd expect from a high-end spot, and everything was delicious. 10 out of 10, will eat here again.

I mean… if you’re in visiting Richmond, you owe it to yourself to come here. The atmosphere, design, and decor is just stunning. The food is ok, definitely very good food but the wow factor is in the look and feel of the place. An old cigar factory feel mixed with fancy dim lit chic. Enjoy 😊

If all you want is amazing food, attentive staff, and a super cool atmosphere with a bit of history, then this is the place for you. We took a vintage (but fully functional) elevator to the second of three floors to start the experience. Antiques all over, and a really cool vintage warehouse vibe.
The prime rib, filet mignon, and filet tip pasta special with gorgonzola cream sauce was amazing. Sides cooked perfectly. (my one issue was that my son could not have one of the sides due to allergies, and there was no flexibility in substitutions, so we paid full price for a replacement side)

I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone that enjoys great food in a cool setting.

Best restaurant in Richmond! I had a borderline magical experience here for my birthday! Absolutely incredible! Sitting in the 3rd floor gave us a nice view of the chandelier and the historic interior as well as the skyline of Richmond outside. A jazz troupe from DC performed live and they were fantastic! Food was incredible and reasonably priced for a restaurant of this caliber! Probably the best value for a high end restaurant in Richmond. My parents are never impressed by restaurants but our experience here blew them away. We will absolutely be back for every special occasion! I recommend for special occasions and trying to impress your date!

The decor of this restaurant doesn’t disappoint!!! So much character! So pretty !
The drinks were on point. The food was almost on point . The crab soup was so full of flavor. Lots of crabmeat in it. It was Nice and hot!!! I love when the soup comes out hot!! The Ahi Tuna was yummy!!! We ordered the pork chop which came out hot and delicious!!! The mashed potatoes were warm at best! We ordered a chocolate mousse cake that came out so hard we couldn’t cut it with a spoon or fork. We were disappointed we had to send it back. Our poor sweet bartender had a glass fall and shatter all I we the counter we were sitting at , the manager came out and took care of our liquor bill .
Over all , I would highly recommend!!!! We definitely will give this restaurant a second chance the next time we are in Richmond.

Dinner was great we had seafood pasta and vegetable lasagna. You have to have their desert Butter Cake! Definitely plan to make it back here.

Wow! I'm sure there is nothing left unsaid about this place. I was in Richmond for my bachelorette getaway, and many people suggested this restaurant for dinner. I'm glad they did! Everything that we tried was amazing. The fried oysters appetizer, chicken, whipped potatoes, meatloaf, pasta, greens.. all were well prepared. They served mostly American cuisine but it's over-the-top. Worth every penny. The ambiance was nice and the staff were very pleasant from beginning to end. Thank you for making my night complete.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary dinner, and it was amazing! The building itself is so beautiful and makes for a perfect date spot. We had the company chicken and salmon, so yummy. Great service, Josh was so kind! We will be back when we’re in the area again.

Whenever I'm in Richmond The Tobacco Company is a must. This place is a treat. Good food, great service and the atmosphere is so cozy. The icing on the cake is the live band. All have been phenomenal that I've heard. I highly recommend for special occasions, date night, girls night out or drinks at the bar with music. They can meet any occasion. No need to search any further, just go!!

Extravagant! The whole experience we had was fantastic here. Food was delicious, atmosphere of multiple floors of decorated, plant-filled scenes was pleasant to view, and the service was informative, polite & not too intrusive with checking in. We would definitely come back for more!

It’s a gorgeous place with an amazing vintage vibe. The food was decent and service was really good. We ordered a few things- calamari, burrata salad, halibut, chicken, and crab cake. I tried the burrata, halibut and chicken. Burrata was good except for the soggy toasts - I expected them to be crispier. Chicken and halibut were were delicious! Also had the butter cake was delicious! Would highly recommend their margarita!!!

Food, service and atmosphere were terrific. Excellent for a group of 8. Prime Rib and Company Chicken were perfect. Sides were delicious. Other members of our party were pleased as well.

Few restaurants have atmosphere like this one. It is impressive normally, but they go all out with tasteful Christmas decorating. The food and service is spectacular, but you really need a reservation. They have live background music in the evening. In spite of there being so many people, our party of 6 felt very comfortable and received excellent service. Street parking is difficult, but there is a parking lot next door. Both their beef and seafood dishes were delicious.

Everything was amazing, food delicious and great service. Loved the seafood pasta and fried calamari

On a Saturday night, had dinner upstairs and then sat at the bar downstairs to listen to a great band playing covers. This is probably my new favorite restaurant! If I could give the atmosphere 10 stars, I would. The lighting was perfect, the exposed brick and wooden framing, the three floors all arranged around a large open space, the giant urns with perfectly arranged greenery, the open iron-decorated elevator, the lamp on the host's desk...could not have been more romantic. The food (calamari, bread, she-crab soup, arugula salad) was amazing. The waitress was delightful and attentive.

The bar was also a very pleasing atmosphere with a glowing bar top. Here the bartenders were inexperienced and our drinks were not very good (gin and tonic provided without a lime, margarita mix, too much ice in both) but the atmosphere more than made up for it.

I love this place. Not cheap but so worth it!

Wonderful experience for a nice dinner with my out of town mom. Delicious food and the ambiance is nothing but spectacular. A little pricey but completely worth it to get a historical fine dining experience in downtown Richmond.

Frankly one of the best one-off dining experiences I've had. The location is incredible, with century old rafters and exposed brick. Three floors with an open view of each floor through the center. It is warm and inviting and I loved it.

The food was top rate. We had a black and bleu with broccoli and smashed potatoes, the steak Oscar with incredibly fresh tasting crab, and the star of the night was an amazing Wagyu special with scalloped potatoes and mushrooms. Each steak cooked to perfection with a crispy crust and medium-rare center.

And finally, the service was friendly, attentive and perfectly timed on asking about drinks and dessert. They were knowledgeable of the menu and seemed honestly enthusiastic about the food.

A+

Will be a destination each and every time I find myself in Richmond.

The charm of this place is in the historic building and classy decor. We celebrated a Queen's 83rd birthday. She was able to enter thru the handicap entrance avoiding stairs and we took the elevator to the 2nd floor for seating. The lighting, semi-private dining tables, chandeliers, various bars, and of course the amazing food selections add to its charm and the overall dining experience. Everyone enjoyed our dishes and the drinks were mixed to perfection. At our meal's conclusion the manager, Joe, was kind and patient enough to snap photos for us. 10/10....food, atmosphere, and service! Every time I have dined here, my experience has been memorable.
