"Absolutely loved this place! My wife made reservations for our 20th year first date anniversary and we got a great surprise when we showed up that they were decked out like a Christmas pop up. The whole place looked amazing decorated from top to bottom it was super cute. The staff was amazing. The food was fresh, hot it didn't take very long. Not a huge place a few booths and several small tables, which were good for an intimate dinner. Helen's has been around as long as I can remember and it's definitely a true staple of Richmond"

"Dinner here before the theatre. Food came out very quick. Brussels sprouts, wings, burger, beef rib and duck were all amazing. Did not care for the mussels that were recommended. Staff were all very friendly. Friday night street parking was pretty bad, so be prepared to circle around and park a few blocks over."

"Love the brunch! Best bloody mary in Richmond! Great Christmas decorations! Love the crispy edges on the pancakes!"

"Spectacular meal at the bar on a Saturday night. Hype about the unique mussel preparation is legit. We had several other delicious small plates, including a showstopper cauliflower and capers dish. Great desserts and easy street parking."

"We came in for my gf’s birthday brunch and yes, it was special. First of all, the over-the-top Xmas decorations were really fun and everyone was having a great time. Behind the glitz was the lovely cabinetry from the original 1912 pharmacy. I especially liked the wooden phone booth. The service was great despite the crowd. We had some delicious scratch-made corned beef hash, eggs Benedict, and Irish coffee."
