TJ's — Restaurant in Richmond

I've always loved this particular hotel during the holidays for their decorations and decided to eat lunch here. Stick to taking pictures because the food doesn't taste as good as it looks. My wife and I ordered the catfish sandwich that was served with old tomatoes and cold slaw that was missing the mayo. The catfish strips should have been a filet.

We arrived at noon on a Monday after a funeral to have lunch and a cocktail. The pllace was deserted, and actually depressing and dismal.

We ordered bourbon martinis and lunch. Rather than asking how to make the drinks, or looking up the recipe, the bartender gave us straight bourbon up in a martini glass.

I went up to the hostess as the waiter turned his back towards me, and the nasty hostess started to lecture us on the bartender having years of experience. Apparently the same person was the manager so if management treats customers like this, We knew we were in the wrong place.

She continued to go on and on in an ugly manner.... So I just tapped my husband on the shoulder and out we went. We're headed to Can-Can where we should have...
