Everything at Adarra was executed to perfection. The wine program is very unique with no set menu. You talk with your sever, they bring over a selection of wine and give you a run down on each. We were offered one for my pallet, one for my wife’s pallet and one in the middle. It was incredible and very intentional. Their menu changes often and we opted for two specials and two dishes off their menu. The meals seemed to be centered around sharing family style with the whole evening coursed out for maximum enjoyment. We finished the meal with the best cheesecake we’ve ever had and housemade ice cream and a glass of Port. Pro-tip from our server, if you get the ice cream let it sit for a few minutes before diving in.

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)

Had a dinner that significantly exceeded my expectations yesterday! The service was excellent, with our knowledgeable waiter who helped us zero in on the perfect funky Orange wine for our palettes. For our table of two, we knew we wouldn’t finish a whole bottle of wine and our waiter reassured us he could cork our bottle at the end of the meal so we could take the rest home.

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!

Every dish was an experience in flavor and presentation, and the scallops were a highlight—a dish so craveable you’ll want a second order. The wine program over-delivered on quality to price and the Brouilly was a steal. Service was all hands on deck with multiple touch points throughout the meal, though never intrusive. Jude, our server, was exceptional and made the evening memorable with their warm, attentive hospitality. We’ll definitely revisit and request Jude’s service, but this whole team doesn’t miss.

A wood-fired kitchen, understated elegance, innovation, and a level of excellence in the kitchen that you wouldn’t expect to find outside of New York or Portland. Adarra has a small, well-curated menu of Spanish / Virginia cuisine supported by a whole-animal station and lots of local sourcing. We loved bespoke art on all of the paneled walls (refreshingly, there are no bottles on the wall behind the bar).
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.

My favorite restaurant in RVA! Hands down the best restaurant in RVA. My partner and I come here every time we are visiting from NYC. The space is perfection, with dark wood panels, large moody artwork that creates the coziest atmosphere. A large window with a view into the beautiful kitchen adds to the excitement! The bar is nice and wide with comfortable plush seating where you can spread out and have space to dine elegantly. You feel so tucked in and comfortable, you won’t want to leave.
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).

Good food, small portions but ambiance is great. The Prawns do not come with a vegetable or a starch for 39 dollars for 4 prawns. The oysters were good but not worth it at its price point. The pork shoulder was dried out with not much flavor but the vegetables made up for it. If you like a place that you pay top dollar for small portions, this is your place!

One of the best meals we’ve ever had! Atmosphere was perfect.

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

This was hands down a best meal experience. We were celebrating our anniversary, but this could be an “anytime you want to have a truly delicious meal” type of moment. Special occasion not necessary.

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!

Adarra is one of my favorite spots in all of RVA!!! Whenever someone visits, it’s the go-to place to impress. The staff are not only kind but incredibly knowledgeable, the food is tasty and extremely fresh, and the ambience is ridiculously cool.

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

Have had dinner once and drinks twice, with exceptional service each time. Personally, I prefer the beautiful bar and Danny the drink doctor doing his magic. The ambiance is seriously comfortable!
