very unique vibe, I couldn't stop looking around at all the eclectic art. Service was great, everyone was friendly quick and our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and drink selection. Was at a 2 person table but when the night slowed down they offered us a comfier booth and moved all of our food and drinks over quickly. Food was 10/10 has the escargot, venison, and French dip for appetizers and the chicken for an entree.

This is my second time going and my experience on both occasions was amazing. Great food, "I had the rabbit", the servers on point and the atmosphere was cozy and unique. There is usually a wait so make your reservations in advance.

Everything about L'Possum is great, the service, the atmosphere and the creative and delicious food. This is our favorite place for special occasions and everything else. Reservations need to be made well in advance as this is a very popular place, so plan accordingly. It is well worth the effort and wait.

I'll be so for real I hated this place Confusing atmosphere Food was mid Way overpriced Waitress spilled wine all over myself and my partner Staff acted bizarre the whole time And for a place with gender neutral bathrooms it was an oddly unwelcoming space

I have not had the pleasure of eating here, but it's not for lack of trying. Can't ever get reservations and when you call, the front staff are rude and don't point you in the right direction. Also they are listed in both open table and on resy but don't accept resy reservations. I'm sure the food is excellent but likely will never get the opportunity. Also who only accepts cash?!?!?
Be the first to ReplyI was hopeful for dining here.
The online reviews were promising. A James Beard nominee is high praise. There were a number of people waiting outside before the restaurant opened, a good sign. There was a amazon delivery person that was in front of me in line to get in. I thought this was strange as most restaurant deliveries are received in the back. I was seated right away after I waited for the delivery to be signed for. At first the decor was a bit off putting. Later I appreciated it as there were star wars plates on the wall. I am a big nerd and I loved this. The server was great. She knew the menu and offered great wine pairings. I had a cocktail to start. It wad DELICIOUS! HEAVEN IN A GLASS! The water was said to be infused with mint. I love mint! There was no mint in this water that I could taste. My soup was good. The potato was difficult to chop though and difficult to add to the broth, but very good. My reccomended wine pairing was very good. I'm glad it was very good because I was served a full glass. I would have preferred a small taste before a full glass is served because had I not liked it a full glass would have been wasted. I had scallops for an entre. I was excited because I was presented a spoon first. I thought, spoon means delicious broth! I was also presented a steak knife. Why a sharp knife for scallops? While waiting for my entre another full glass of wine was served. The server asked if I was ready for another. I said no, as I was still nursing my first glass and was in no hurry. The glass was removed. Again, I'm glad I liked the first glass because I was in no means ready for another. It would be a waste to present a fully poured glass to have the guest say no thanks. The glass was not served, OK. My entre appeared quickly thereafter. It was presented well and looked delicious. I tried the broth first, it was very good. I removed the meat from my mussels and dug in. The mussels were cold. I could not cut through the scallops with my fork. Thus the previous presentation of the steak knife. Parts of the scallop were overcooked and parts were under-cooked. I see now why a steak knife was presented. The vegetables and greens in the dish were not cooked and raw. Exception being the peas. The peas were cooked perfectly. The carrots were of high quality, but not cooked. The consistency tasted like the raw baby carrots I give my child. The greens on the entre were still on the stem and seemed thrown onto the entre, not cooked into the entre. The onions tasted delicious, but were raw and undercooked. Imagine an under-done saute. The FLAVOR was EXCELLENT, the COOK, was RAW. My wine paring for the entre arrived after I was well into the dish. I thought, was the previously offered full glass of wine the glass for my entre? A completely different vintage? It was. Again, it's good that I liked it, otherwise a full glass would have gone to waste. The paring that the server recommended for the entre was spot on. It is a shame the food was not cooked to the same standard as the wine paring recommendation. I kept trying different bite combinations to see if the problem was me. Did I misunderstand the menu? Was I eating the dish incorrectly? Were the vegetables crispy and not undercooked? The flavor was DELICIOUS, but the cook was POOR. The server and host were most accommodating. I told them exactly what I wrote above. They were genuinely apologetic and I was not charged for the entre. I would have gladly paid for everything. I told them so as I know the displeasure is most likely a me problem. They did not charge me. This was 100% a CLASS ACT. I tipped based on what the full amount should have been, not what it was. The desert menu seemed fair, but after my disappointment in the meal, I was reluctant, and did not try. I decided to have another cocktail for my desert and it was DELICIOUS! I was given the bill and told there was no rush. An all to brief moment later I was asked if this was ready to be taken care of? NO was the answer, but I promptly presented my card. I went to the bathroom, it was very clean and pleasant, and left. My very poor rating, and DO NOT RECCOMEND, stance comes from disappointment. The online reviews were good, BUT. It says James Beard, BUT. The service was excellent, BUT. The flavors were delicious, BUT. At the price point, and James Beard nominee listed on the restaurant's website, I expected more, and was severely disappointed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

100 points to Gryffindor, ten stars, marvelously queer and generally divine. Spectacular service, intriguing art and atmosphere with music that keeps you on your toes. Every dish is clever and perfection. It was worth the long drive from Washington DC. Would recommend many times over.
Be the first to ReplyWe had an incredible dinner here for our anniversary.
First, the bartender made an excellent aviation cocktail (this is rare to find). The food was delicious and met an important fine dining requirement for me: the truffle in the lobster Mac and cheese was perfect and NOT overly strong. The ambience is sexy and fun. Maximalist, lush, everything about this place is decadence. Love it and can't wait to go back. The music was a little loud for my taste but I'm old.

We had a wonderful dinner here last night for my mother's 75th birthday. Delicious food and excellent service. I want to express my sincere appreciation for our server Susan, who worked with us with my father with dementia with grace and finesse. I sincerely appreciate her efforts that were able to make the dinner an enjoyable experience for my mother, who has had a really difficult year with his illness. Susan = A++++

Have been to L Opossum many times and every experience has lived up to the hype. All food and cocktails are created with great thought to flavor and presentation. This go round we had reserved bar dining (only option). The service had a slow start. We sat for over 10 mins before the bartender asked for our drink order.. I get it, one person making drinks for the entire restaurant takes some time. But after that point he was very attentive. I ordered the Inner Saboteur, my guy had Throwing Shade. I absolutely loved the jalapeรฑo and bell pepper infused tequila. It was such a uniquely flavored cocktail. For our meal, we started with the crab and corn bisque and French onion dip. Then dinner we shared the beef swellington and Capt Jared's daily catch - Arctic Char. Who doesn't love a little surf and turf. The guest beside us at the bar had the crab cakes and the meal looked so wonderful I initially doubted the fish selection but the Char was rich and flavorful and the muscles were a nice accompaniment. After dinner we had to throw in the towel as there was absolutely no room left for dessert. Suggestion to diners: Don't sit at the bar if you can help it. You get a better dining experience at a table for the same cost. Plus you won't have people constantly walking past you running food and dirty dishes. Bring cash as there's a 4% feefor cards and be mindful of the bill as the 4% is added to the cost of each item so if you're paying cash, you have to calculate the cost minus the 4% to ensure proper tipping. The music can get loud, maybe bc the restaurant was clearing out as we had a later reservation. So less people chatting means louder volume of music? Also, the music doesn't create a more relaxed vibe as you would hope for at a high end restaurant.

Yes, there's so much I could say, but what you need to hear is make the reservation and go
Be the first to ReplyAh, L'Opossum, how do I love thee?Let me count the ways.
Actually, in order to not make this an absolute novel, because having been more than once the list just sort of goes on forever, please accept that the ever-changing menu, the delicious cocktails, the ingenious appetizers and entrees, and the incredibly eccentric dรฉcor are just an experience you have to have to understand. The singular downside (excepting the number of dishes that have foie gras, which I do not eat, But which most people do not exactly see as a negative) is that it's extremely difficult to get a table. The place is usually booked a month or more in advance, which requires either a great deal of prior planning or, if you are lucky, calling the restaurant directly to see if they might have spot open.Out of the seven or eight entrees and appetizers and considerably-more-than-that drinks I have sampled, literally everything is a hit. The names are cheeky, the flavors are exquisitely well balanced, the ingredients are seasonal and often local if they can manage, and my dessert is occasionally on fire which really, what more could a girl want?

Richmond's best restaurant, make sure you get reservations well in advance. It could add a few more wine options in my opinion
Be the first to ReplyTerrible service and I never even got in the door.
I had a reservation with my husband and friend on Saturday night. On our way to dinner we had to turn around and come home because my friend was all of the sudden feeling ill. As soon as we stepped out of the car she started vomiting and it turns out had a stomach virus. I called the restaurant immediately and explained the situation and they said a manager would call back. Not only did they not call back but they slapped a $75 fee on my credit card. I have since called back 3 times and left a voicemail to no avail. Terrible customer service for what is supposed to be an upscale restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyWe went to l'opossum for my birthday.
I made a reservation 2 months in advance just because prime dinner time is so hard to get at this place. I have heard so many good things about l'opposum & was really excited. As someone who lived in Paris for a long time, I really wanted to love this place. However,1) this is not classical french fine dining, it'smore casual on the modern side, but the price is pretty steep for casual dining, it is kind of confusing where it stands as a high-end or a trendy restaurant 2) the menu was not descriptive at all (They have a dish called texas nude beach or something like that), I think whoever wrote the menu wanted to be witty, but ended up just being confusing. 3) the appetizers are amazing, and the entree was fine. What was very strange is you cannot place an appetizer order without also placing your entree order, so we ended up getting drinks on an empty stomach because we couldn't decide what entree we want so we couldn't order apps 4) The waiter told us he has another table in 30 minutes coming in so if we want dessert we needed to decide (while we are still half way through our entree) otherwise there's no time, and that was a mood killer & we feel like we are being rushed to finish eating fast so they can turn around the table for the next group. I was really sad at the end. Overall, I don't think I can recommend L'Opposum, simply because you can get better food and services with the same price, or visit other french restaurants for a romantic dinner in the area. Really wish we loved it :// If you have plenty of cash to spare, this may be a good place for you.

I loved the atmosphere here is much! Fun and eclectic and a great place to relax and have fun. The service from the time we walked in until we left was fantastic and some of the best I have ever had.We ordered the faberge egg appetizer and also the oyster appetizer and both were truly amazing. For dessert we got a chocolate flambรฉ cake and the bundt cake and I wanted to marry them both,Now onto the main entree. We ordered the Beef Swellington. The steak was super moist and flavorful and we were very happy with it.The only disappointment was with the scallop meal. 4 scallops over this veggie soup/slaw mix. Did not have a lot of flavor so was pretty bland. The price was a bit high for the scallops and I don't love when scallops are not seared. More of a texture issue on my part but I did ask for them to be seared when I ordered. This was also more of a summer dish in my opinion.Overall fantastic experience and I would for sure go back.
Be the first to ReplyL'Opossum is my very favorite restaurant in Richmond! Chef
L'Opossum is my very favorite restaurant in Richmond! Chef David Shannon is an absolute genius when it comes to food. He puts a fun twist on modern French cuisine, and takes food to another level. The house cocktails are worth trying--so fun and really tasty. The foie gras preparation varies seasonally, but my husband always enjoys it. As far as entrรฉes, my husband and I both love their classics, the Beef "Swellington" and the "Swank Bank." Their seasonal rotating entrรฉes are also a solid choice and never disappoint. For dessert, try the "Devil's in the Details" (formerly "Hot Black Bottom รก la mode") if you love chocolate. The Swashbuckling Bundt Pirate is also one of our favorite desserts. Yo-ho-ho to Hot Buttered Rum!!! Take a closer look at the wall hangings and decor, because the food isn't the only whimsical and attention grabbing showstopper you'll find! L'Opossum has a great, fun vibe and the best music! We've discovered many a great cover song thanks to our L'opossum dining experiences. The service is always exceptional and our experiences have been perfectly executed. Whenever I have menu questions or am on the fence between options, our server takes my questions and preferences into consideration and provides perfect recommendations. I can't recommend L'Opossum enough!

Good. They definitely try to be innovative and I appreciate the effort. It's one of the more creative menus I have ever come across and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into the menu.Your bartender is a gem and the aquafaba instead of egg white works great.
Be the first to ReplyIn a word, fantastic.
Walking in, the decor and vibe is great - louche french bar. Sat at the bar; the bartender was very friendly, no "I'm too cool for you" attitude. The faberge egg dish was amazing. The faux wellington was very very good. And the dessert, a chocolate flambe, delicious. All of this to a top-notch 70s variety show pop country soundtrack. All in all, most excellent.

As Lady Gaga once said "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before."My husband and I went to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary - this dinner was well worth staying up past our normal bedtime of 8 pm (we have an infant, to be fair). The staff were lovely & welcoming, but not pushy or exaggerated. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back.

Beautiful food presentation. A must go at least once for the experience. I've been here 3 times and it's always a fantastic time. 100% Worth the money. Inventive rotating cocktails.
