Picked this place because I wanted to sit outside and the rooftop seemed like a nice spot. It was early Sunday evening, so not busy at all. We were seated right away though we arrived early for our reservation. We were sat at a high table and bar stools, but since we had a toddler with us we asked to sit at a regular table and away from the smoking at the bar. We were able to move tables so no big deal. After a few minutes, our server took our orders but notified us right afterwards that their shift was ending and needed to ring us up. Thought it was strange but we took the bill and paid all before even getting any food. We were told another server would be around to assist us. Some other servers brought us our food, which was pretty good. Got a couple chicken sandwiches and a burger. They were tasty. Issue was the service was so minimal. We basically had one person take our order, some other bring the food and that’s it. Wasn’t sure what or who I was tipping. No one checked on us or asked if we wanted a refill after we got our food. I’d say I can’t recommend this place honestly. Maybe just an off day but really missed the mark
This is literally my favorite place in all of Richmond. The staff is wildly top knotch. Great music, delicious food. Great service. Upstairs patio bar.... start a tab downstairs, and keep it going upstairs on the rooftop patio. Streamline goodtimes. Definitely check this place out.
Did not enjoy this experience. One of the drinks was good, the other was not. The womens bathroom was gross and when I told the person that worked there, they seemed to know and hadn’t done anything about it. The staff was nice at the end but they were very slow to get anything for us. The rooftop was a nice aesthetic and I would probably return for that, just not the food or service. You have to make a reservation before going there. They have gluten free options on the menu, too!
Everything I had was SSSSOOOOOOO good ?Shout out to Chef Will I love your food.
Had the vegan biscuit and gravy, it was super tasty! We went during brunch, and had many options.
Walked from Altria Theater to grab a bite before the show here. Was so yummy ?
Our party of five visited Postbellum for brunch on a recent Saturday. This was my third visit to the restaurant. The first time was two years ago, the second time was in November 2021, and the third time was a few days ago. I was there twice in the daytime and once in the evening, and each time the service was prompt and attentive, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Although there were more people during my evening visit, and the restaurant was busier and louder, there is plenty of space between tables, so I wasn't bothered by the other diners. For this visit, I made a reservation on Resy because I wasn't sure if Postbellum would be crowded, and it was too cold to wander around looking for a place that wasn't. There were a few people in the restaurant when we arrived, so I didn't need a reservation, but I felt better having one anyway. Our hostess and server were courteous, and we were taken care of right away. We ordered off the brunch menu and had a chicken sandwich, salad, a side order of truffle honey frites, steak and eggs, salad and blueberry pancakes with lemon whipped ricotta. Our drinks were ginger ale, coffee and water. The total was $113 and I added a 20% percent tip. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the person who ordered the steak said it was really tender and thick. I had the blueberry pancakes, which were flavorful and filled with fruit. I took a to-go box, and the pancakes were good heated up the next day. Postbellum has a lot to offer - a full bar, rooftop seating, a varied menu - and appeals to locals, tourists, couple and big groups. The atmosphere is cozy and casual with plenty of space. I also like the name of the restaurant - Postbellum, which means the period after a war, especially the Civil War, gives a nod to Richmond's historic past and rich history.
