Beaucoup — Restaurant in Richmond

This is THE casual fine dining place in Richmond. I visited Beaucoup for a date night on a whim at the beginning of August. I've been back 2 more times this month because it was that spectacular. 10/10 across the board.

The food is spectacular. I've never liked raw oysters, but I try them on occasion, so I figured why not this cool local oyster bar? Their oysters are sourced from high quality, specific, and named farms. Turns out I do like raw oysters when they're actually good! It's hard to speak on any specific items because of an incredibly current and fresh rotating menu, but their ribeye steak was perfect and well worth the upgrade. Thoughtfully crafted cocktails that change with the seasons, so you'll always have completely unique dining experiences.

The real shining gold star of this place is the staff. Some of the nicest and friendliest people I've ever eaten with. I could have stayed and talked to my server and bartender all night.

I can't recommend this place enough. Except maybe don't go here too often, because I need a table always...

We would return except for the noise level and a super tight fit at the table which was cramped. My husband and I had a really hard time hearing each other over noise. Everyone in there was talking so loud and even our waitress couldn’t hear our order and we couldn’t hear her. If you have trouble hearing, claustrophobia, or want a quiet romantic dinner, I would not choose...

I don’t need to repeat what others have already said about the delicious food. We had a 4:15pm reservation for my wife’s birthday and brought our one year old. We understand that not all high end restaurants have high chairs and we should’ve planned ahead. My daughter was causing mayhem, broke a glass and spilled water everywhere. The staff was able to move us to a corner seat with room to keep her occupied in her stroller. The server and the hostess couldn’t have been more understanding and made us feel comfortable in a stressful situation. Thank you to the Beaucoup staff for going above and beyond to make my wife’s...
