“ In town for a business trip, I enjoyed the friendly staff from my seat at the bar along with chatting with other patrons. Great charcuterie offerings, wine list, and cocktails. ”
“ The food here is delicious, and the prices aren't outrageous. They regularly change the menu, and every new option sounds delicious. I got the stuffed tomato special, and it looked so good I forgot to take a pre-picture. I wish I had gotten our server's name (shaved head, close beard); he was fantastic, friendly, incredibly helpful, and attentive. Desserts were fantastic. A note on patio seating: it's not as bad as you think in the summer. It's covered, but by opening you're already in the shade, and with fans going it was actually kind of nice (maybe nicer than inside, as the AC was strong!) It was 85degrees out, but we felt great. ”
“ We had the best time at Grisette! We started our meal with an appetizer and yummy seasonal cocktails. Our incredible server, Dane, was so welcoming and immediately shared the specials with us. Our party had food allergies/restrictions and he was very knowledgeable and accommodating and made us feel right at home. We cannot wait to visit again! Huge thanks to Dane and the entire Grisette team! ”
“ Found atop Church Hill, Grisette has a reputation for casual fine dining. Staff is well informed and eager to accommodate. The dining area is tight but maintains intimacy. We started with a seasonal Eggnog. Light but boozy. Our waitress unexpectedly split the drink into two smaller glasses for both of us to share. Their charcuterie comes highly recommended. So, we chose two cheeses (Stilton & Gouda) and two meats (chicken liver mousse & rabbit rillette). Included were pickled onions, gherkins, & pickled fennel, with crusty bread. Everything was VERY good! Especially the c.l.mousse and the pickled fennel. I was skeptical of the c.l.mousse before tasting it. Now, I'm a total convert. You have to try it! My wife enjoyed her chicken entree with brussels, mushrooms, bacon, in a Dijon sauce. My entree was Catalan Stew consisting of a spicy, tomato broth with generous fresh, tender mussels, shrimp, and ground lamb. So GOOD! We had a very pleasant experience! ”
“ Quite simply the best restaurant in Richmond. Incomparable service, amazing cocktails, and everyone I know who has eaten here dreams of the steak frites, including me. Order cheese and bread; please let the staff bring you what they think is good because it will be off the chain. Our friends and family come to town and ask us if we can come here. We take them. ”
“ Grisette was quite the pleasant surprise in RVA. Walked in not knowing what to expect and left with an experience that I’m dying to have again. It’s rare to have food, service and vibes all on high levels and they’ve figured it out here. Big personal shout out to Clay, who was incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. We had all the things, including the mussels, chicken, NY strip and of course profiteroles I’m not often in Richmond, but I know where I’ll have dinner whenever I am! Thanks to the entire team! ”
“ My girlfriend and I stopped by for dinner and had their Barney and Safe Harbor mocktails, cornbread, tomato tart, and mackerel special. Some of the most incredible flavors and beautiful presentations I’ve ever seen. Lovely food and a lovely waiter too. Can’t recommend this place enough. Seems like it fills up pretty quick on a Friday evening, might need a reservation. ”
“ Very well done, overall loved the meal and atmosphere from start to finish. Steak was cooked perfectly, fries excellent. Would’ve liked fresher greens on the salad. I enjoyed the small menu, do what you do, and do it well. Certainly an intimate space, always pairs well with an open kitchen concept. Everything from decor to the vintage plates make you feel right at home in some far away bistro. The Parking will be a bit of a chore as with any place worth its salt, but be a good fellow and get a reservation. Will definitely be back, Grisette. You did not disappoint. ”
