    I thought the offer of complementary desert for our anniversary put the icing on a great experience.

    Tobacco Company is our go to restaurant when visiting Richmond. The food was outstanding, especially the She Crab Soup. Our server, Olivia, did a great job and made some excellent recommendations. We will be back next time we are in town.

    I think the meatloaf was over cooked as it was black on bottom. The mixture of the barbecue sauce just laid on it after it was cooked doesn’t really help as it should have been cooked or something as it was just to sharp of a flavor then.

    It was our first time visiting this restaurant. The historic building itself is amazing! I ordered Crabcakes and my husband ordered Jambalaya Pasta. The portions were large and the food was very good. Greg, our server, was very hospitable and an all around nice person. In fact, all of the people we interacted with were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

    We had a waiter in training with no immediate supervisor nearby. She did a great job but it’s not the experience you expect for $500.
