The Best Restaurants in Richmond, Virginia | Eater DC

"A perfectly lovely corner cafe with some of the best sandwiches in the city, Garnett’s relaxed hominess makes it a go-to spot for first dates. Try one of several Croques, like the Croque Park Avenue, with Black Forest ham, Gruyere, spinach, and garlic aioli under a blanket of mornay sauce, or the Scuffletown chicken sandwich, a classic version with big chunks of chicken and a pickly twang. Garnett’s Happy Hour ($3 glasses of wine and pints of beer from 4-6 p.m.) and week-long $33 date night special (any two menu items and a bottle of wine or pitcher of beer after 6 p.m.) are two of the best kept secrets in Richmond. When on the city’s Southside, visit Garnett’s sister restaurant, the modern fern bar, Laura Lee’s." - Stephanie Ganz
