The restaurant that helped pioneer the renaissance of Shockoe Slip is carved from a former tobacco warehouse. The centerpiece is a dramatic skylit atrium with an antique cage elevator servicing three floors of dining. The menu is extensive if not inventive: steaks, prime rib, lobster, veal, shrimp, scallops, salmon, rainbow trout, chicken, crab, Virginia ham, and pasta. Enjoy live music, a free buffet during happy hours (5-7 pm, Wednesday through Friday), and cigars in the bar.
