Welcome to Rowland Richmond

“ The food was amazing, drinks were quite interesting and delicious. The service was lacking. We were a group of 4, only 2 other people in the restaurant. We waited 20 minutes between ordering drinks until receiving 3 of the 4 we ordered. It took another 5 minutes before the last drink arrived. Service from there just got worse. Had to flag down the server to ask for more water. Things I would not expect from a restaurant at this price point, especially when there was practically no one else there. If you have nothing but time to kill and don't mind poor service, the food is great. ”

“ I had the pleasure of dining at Rowland Fine Dining this evening, and it was truly one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in Richmond. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Our server, Kyle, was warm, attentive, and highly knowledgeable he also crafted some of the best cocktails I've had! Unlike many restaurants, it’s clear that Rowland puts great thought and care into every aspect of their offerings. My guest and I visited during Restaurant Week and enjoyed the soup, rockfish risotto, and panna cotta. Each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Rowland Fine Dining to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I will certainly be returning!!! ”

“ We enjoyed our dinner at Rowland for Richmond Restaurant Week. They only had two staff in the front - a server and bartender. Both seemed to do a great job and really hustled. The restaurant wasn't that crowded so it wasn't too bad. The server did a great job. We tried three different appetizers and the winner was the meatballs with the soup second and the shrimp manicotti coming in second and third. Two of our group had the blackened rockfish with crawfish etouffee which was excellent. Two of us had the flat iron steak and one was great and the second one was a poor cut of meat that the knife couldn't get through. They were great at replacing the inedible steak. Very reasonably priced cocktails which was nice. For dessert the apple dessert was prefered over the bread pudding. It was a nice evening with a lovely restaurant week menu. ”

“ Had decided to go to Rowland as part of 2022's October Restaurant Week for dinner. Went to dinner on a Saturday night around 8 pm and were not disappointed in the least. When we arrived (party of 4), we were quickly seated and introduced to our server, which gave us time to look over drinks. After making our selections, we were given time to chat and catch up with each other. The small plates were great, myself. I had a pork belly with chimichurri, and the sauce was more amazing than the tasty pork. For the main, I had duck confit with pumpkin ravioli, which balanced so perfectly. The only hiccup came during this when a tablemate was given the wrong dish. The server, when made aware of it, quickly corrected this error. The only real complaint was the close seating, and it was a little loud. Will 100% go back for a normal night! ”

“ The pork chop is amazing! Drinks are pretty darn good too, highly recommend the Grape Escape. Our server Nadia was attentive and very kind. Highly recommend ”

“ Had the pleasure of dining here for Valentine’s Day with my significant other! The fixed menu was articulately designed and even included a vegetarian option which I really appreciated. The atmosphere is extremely intimate yet lively. Amazing food and flavor! Not to mention how attentive and friendly the staff was. There was even an incident where a couple refused to pay their bill despite their website mentioning to included gratuity upon booking. Despite this couple being disruptive to our romantic dinner, I thought the staff handled it so well on such a busy night! Cant wait to eat here again! ”
