Reviews
The environment and layout of the restaurant gives you a wholesome feel. You’re surrounded by hand painted pictures and real candles scattered around. It almost feels as if you’re in an old money estate with butler service and all. Being able to see the wood fire kitchen is an incredible touch. There’s nothing like it in Richmond.
Every employee gave us a smile when we passed them or came in contact with them. The owners are working along side their employees and nothing seems too small for them to take care of. If you get a chance to talk to the HR department I highly suggest it! (IYKYK)
The cooking technique over a wood fire was perfect – everything was perfectly cooked! Especially the trout we had (which the staff magically deboned) and the cut of pork from the neck that we had. Both fish and meat just melted in my mouth. I especially appreciated the vinegar sauce used on the trout. I discovered a new green vegetable I had never tasted, which was a little like broccoli rabe. Like the fish and meat, it too was perfectly cooked over the wood fire giving it a smoky taste. All our greens were served with crunchy nuts, adding flavor and texture to each bite. Even the dessert, an olive oil cake, was charred on the fire before getting topped with a whipped cream and cooked apples. The portions are very generous and we were full even before dessert, but pleased we still ordered the delicious dessert. It also helped that we could take home the large amount of leftover pork too.
I will be returning next time I visit Richmond!
There were no weak spots on the menu that we sampled, but we especially loved the lamb belly, the sausage and the Basque cheesecake. Note that the portions are substantial — this is not a tapas / pinxtos restaurant.
The staff is extremely friendly, they’re so knowledgeable about the cuisine as well as drink pairings, i’ve honestly never felt so welcomed at a restaurant! It’s obvious that the passion of the owners trickles down to their staff and creates the incredible vibe! The food is 10/10 amazing, always plenty of seafood options, charred and seasoned perfectly. The whole fish with charred leeks is life changing!! I can’t say enough about this place, I only wish I lived closer, or maybe they can open a spot up in Brooklyn (wink wink).
We had never been to a place like this and just took drink and food recommendations from the bartender, which were all spectacular. The flavors in every dish were complex and unique. Everything was prepared with skill and care
The food is locally sourced and of high quality. We had scallops, served in an half shell on a bed of course salt. The salad, with wilted greens and some magical dressing. Prawns, order them. Question nothing. Pork chop with shrooms, greens, and cauliflower. It was one of the specials, and if they have it, order it. The Basque cheesecake and basil ice cream were perfect. While Basil ice cream may sound odd, it was smooth and creamy and paired with toasted hazelnuts. Delicious. Everything we had was like tasting real food again for the first time. Your tastebuds will perk up and ask, “what have you done? This isn’t mediocre or basic food. This is like a reawakening of what food should be!”
The care and thought put into the food by Randall, was matched with the care and thought in the dining room and staff. Lyne suggested the perfect bubbles to complement the dinner. And she made everyone feel welcome and like you were eating at their home.
If you’re in Richmond, make time for a reservation. You won’t regret it but if you miss it, you will. Thank you Randall and Lyne for an exceptional dinner and creating an experience we will be talking about!
I came here after seeing all of these review bombs (get a life). It feels like my duty to protect the ratings of one of the best restaurants I’ve been to! There’s no doubt in my mind that Adarra truly deserves 5 stars across the board. I hope Google removes all the bot reviews
