Food is consistently delicious, unique, and beautifully plated every time we’ve visited. The cocktails are wittily named and refreshing. The steak is definitely the best dish thus far. The atmosphere cannot be beat! If you’re looking for a quiet, well lit restaurant this is not the place you; especially if you get seated in the middle rowed tables you’ll hear a lot and may feel in the way. But still a lovely experience!

The best meal I have eaten. My wife got the pork belly and it was very flavorful and cut with a fork. I got the filled and it is the best steak I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and even the veggies on the plate were amazing. We shared the creme brulee and tiramisu. Both were incredible. Also the bread service which was just a simple French bread was amazing. It was not a cheap meal but it was worth every penny.

I visited here May 3/2023 during my trip to Virginia. I was alone but the waiters are really nice and friendly to me. A guy who was making cocktails and serves sometimes talked to me so I was never got bored. And even after my dishes, the waiters gave me an amazing chocolate cake (served being fired) as a gift! I didn’t expect such a wonderful surprise during my trip. It was actually the first time for me to visit the US. I’m Japanese from Tokyo and I am secretly proud of good quality of hospitality of Japan, but oh my gosh the service I received here is like top 10 of my life. Dishes and experience here gave me great memory of the US. I really want to come back.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my wife. The decor was great. It displayed eclectic exuberance, with lots of interesting art and decorations. The service was great. The food was amazing. We had escargot, venison carpaccio, Caesar salad, soft shell crab catch of the day, and quail stuffed with wagyu cheek. We finished off with the “devil in the details” and the lavender and limoncello creme brulee. Everything was so good, and we walked away stuffed and happy. Would definitely recommend.

I had an amazing experience at L’Opossum. I’ve been eyeing this place since the first time I visited Richmond and it exceeded expectations! I was promptly seated at the bar (come around 5 for bar seats if you don’t have a reservation) and was greeted by a friendly and personable bartender. I started off by ordering the cocktail jock snifter, which was charmingly quite literal! I was recommended to try the foie gras as an appetizer, and it was delicious. My entree had cabbage, lentils and mushrooms, and was elevated and full of delicate flavor. I was super impressed. For dessert, I had a chocolate torte that was fluffy and crispy at the same time, it rounded out my meal perfectly. I had a great time looking around at all the eclectic decor around the restaurants and chatting with the bartender and other staff, who were all super friendly. Overall the food, service and atmosphere impressed. I would highly recommend L’Opossum for anything desiring a unique dining experience in Richmond!

L’Opossem never disappoints. The service, the food, the atmosphere… All exceptional. I highly recommend the Hard Candy mixed drink, the Beef Swellington, and the Creme Brulee.

Fantastic, quirky, fun!! These are the adjectives that I think of to describe this restaurant. The appetizers and entrees are to die for and the drinks and atmosphere are flattering to the chef’s delicious meals. The stuffed quail was fantastic.

Amazing dining experience. My husband & I both agreed it was easily in the top 5 best meals we’ve ever had. Cocktails were also delicious and fun – loved the cheeky little detail on the Laura Palmer! We would love to return next time we are in Richmond. Thank you, L’Opossum!

The atmosphere is eclectic and unique, the cocktails are well crafted, the wine selection is great, and the food is unbeatable. Everything we ordered was equally delicious. Great for a fancy date night or splurge-worthy event.
