    We booked our reservation for 15 over two months ago, so we wouldn't miss out on dining here. We had 15 people in town for the Richmond Marathon, and I wanted to make sure that they had the best experience possible. Tobacco Company is my favorite place in Richmond, and I visit almost monthly due to business. It has never disappointed. Everyone was amazed with the building, the ambience, the service, and especially the food.

    Great food! Friendly staff. Great seating area, which I requested a quiet table, thanks! We do wish that our waitress would have stopped in to check on us more as we were needing drinks and plates to be cleared. We had this waitress before, and the same thing happened. I suggest some training for her. (Sam)

    The service and food were great. The butter cake for two was an excellent finisher. The only issue we found was that it was very warm inside temperature wise.
