Alewife

The Best Restaurants in Richmond, Virginia | Eater DC

"Sustainable seafood shines at Church Hill’s Alewife, the South’s best new restaurant of 2020 according to Southern Living, where the Siren Song, a lazy Susan laden with fresh catches is the only acceptable way to start a meal for four or more. If you don’t see it on the specials board, just order one of every starter — like a riff on moules frites that combines mussels and crispy potatoes and the crispy perch with Buffalo sauce and pickled celery. Start with an ethereal cocktail while you peruse the chalkboard specials, which change frequently. Plan ahead with reservations for this always-bustling spot." - Stephanie Ganz
