"my boyfriend and I came to fall line for dinner before the nutcracker and fell in love with the food and service from gracie! we were blown away by everyone’s kindness and ability to squeeze us in without reservations on such a busy night. our drinks were phenomenal, highly recommend the espresso martini and the mule. the espresso martini had no harsh, alcoholic bite, and the espresso had a lovely, chocolatey note that paired well with the creamy mouthfeel. the mule was balanced in sweetness and tartness, and the ginger really shined towards the end of each sip. the burnt ends were so fatty but the pickled red onions provided enough sharpness to cut through the oil, making for a wonderful bite, especially with the cornbread! my halibut’s miso was salty and slightly gritty, but the salt paired perfectly with the subtle nuttiness of the mushrooms and the heavy umami of the dashi broth. i loved that there were a decent amount of non dairy options that were flavorful, many restaurants rely on heavy creams and cheeses and it can make my dining experience extremely limited and difficult. i appreciate the wide variety on such a condensed menu. our service was top tier. gracie was so charming, personable, sweet and had great recommendations for food. we loved having the opportunity to chat with her. she was attentive and unobtrusive, and never interrupted us or checked on us too often, as some servers do. her timing was impeccable and she always brought our food or got us new drinks at the natural end of our previous item so we didn’t feel rushed or like we were waiting too long. she was a highlight to our night, as well as the young man with the festive light necklace that informed us of the nutcracker discount! we hope to see gracie and fall line soon!! 🩷"

"My dad and I went here for a bite after a long drive to VA. Michelle was our server and she was great from beginning to end. We came in less than a hour before closing (I know how terrible of us) but had great service despite our late arrival. Michelle was very attentive and so kind, definitely ask for her when you go. We ordered the lump crab hush puppies and french onion soup as our appetizers which were both 10/10. For my entree I had the bolognese rigatoni, pretty good I would say 7/10. My dad had the braised short rib which I believe he would describe as a 10/10 since he cleared the plate. For dessert we ended with the gooey butter cake which you absolutely must try because words can’t describe how good it was, 12/10 would recommend."

"From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely outstanding! Michelle took care of us and truly made the experience unforgettable. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food was just as impressive. The burger was juicy and full of flavor, and the guacamole tacos tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. Everything came out perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. What truly set this visit apart was Michelle’s outstanding service. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered great recommendations, and made us feel so welcomed. It’s rare to find someone who delivers such a genuine and exceptional dining experience, and Michelle truly deserves recognition."

"I was in tonight for a quick bite. Visiting in town on a snow night. And popped in. Michelle our server was amazing. Such a great experience. She even accompanied us to the bar after dinner for the eagles game and got us two seats since we’re eagles fans. Food was great!!! Ask for Michelle as your server if possible. :)"

"Amazing experience all around. The service (by Michelle) was impeccable. The food was inspired and just delighting. I had the watermelon beet salad on bed whipped light cheese with candied pecans and the tuna tartare with avocado and wonton chips. Amazing. Will definitely come back when I’m in Richmond again."
