Amazing food, wine, service and experience. There is nothing more to say. The occasion wasn't super special (just dinner with friends) but everybody at Bookbinders made us feel like it was! Relaxed yet attentive service (not the in-your-face stuff you get in certain places, but always there when you needed). Food was just of the highest standard. Classic dishes cooked to perfection. Sure, the price reflects how good everything was, but I'll gladly pay this again for the same experience! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Had a fantastic 65th birthday celebration for my husband here. Our server Timothy was outstanding and the food was just amazing. We were able to use two gift cards that we received from our wedding guests, which was very nice. Everything was just amazing.

Honestly. The best food, service, and overall experience I’ve had in Virginia Restaurants. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I marked on the reservation it was a special occasion and 48 hours before, the sweetest lady calls to try and Personalize the menu for your table. I believe she is the Owners Mother, or some relation but she was so cheerful and a great lady to chat with. I mentioned my husband and I recently got married and he is active Army and wanted to celebrate our one month of marriage and our accomplishments in 2023. We were greeted by Alex and his friendly front staff who had cheerful smiles and such positive attitudes despite being a busy Saturday night. We were Placed in a booth , where we were then greeted by TIM. If you have a chance to request him, his knowledge of the menu and history of Bookbinders is outstanding. My husband & I could have talked to him for hours. He answered all of our questions about the menu, cocktails and specific wines and managed to check on us multiple times throughout the night. Alex (I believe is the Restaurant Mgr) gifted my husband a challenge coin that the owner John gives to Service Members. This was just icing on the cake to an already fantastic night. I can’t recommend this place enough. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I can’t wait to come back and celebrate many more occasions with this fantastic establishment. Thank you Bookbinders!

Bookbinders is one of my favorite restaurants in Richmond. Every time I go I always get the Jumbo lump crab cake, it’s phenomenal! Everything from the sides to other entrees are delicious. The restaurant is very nice inside and all of the staff is so friendly! It’s an upscale restaurant and very classy, I love the vibe and atmosphere. Drinks are always nice and strong. The bread they bring you out is always the best part. We eat here at least every other month Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Bookbinders is the cutest old Richmond restaurant for all special and nice occasions. In the heart of the city, it is so perfect for our wedding dinner. We got married in an intimate ceremony just blocks away at the VMFA. The staff had printed our names on the menu with our wedding date. They were prompt, thorough and the food was incredible! I got the scallops and they were nothing short of perfect (and big/hearty!). Highly recommend for any occasion.

I visited this restaurant last night with the idea they would receive a 5 star review out of me, based on my fellow veterans recommendations, but unfortunately it won’t be the case. Needless to say I went in with very high expectations, however I was so disappointed. The atmosphere is nice I will give it to them, unlike other customers, my server Alex was very nice and kind. My issue was more with the food, I believe when you go to such an high end or fancy restaurant, quality and taste must be a top priority. Well it was certainly not the case for my cowboy ribeye, the steak had a weird acrid, sooty taste. The baked potato wasn’t baked it was boiled, well someone might say who cares? Well not for me, because whatever I order is what I expect to get, this not me trying to be picky, but I believe if I’m going to spend over $100 on a meal, there’s a certain standard that needs to be met, otherwise I would’ve gone to Texas Roadhouse, longhorn or Outback Steakhouse just to name a few. I drove half an hour from Fort Lee to this place and I’ve never wasted my time and money this bad. Before I left I shared my poor experience with Alex and she was very apologetic about it and wanted me to come back and have a different experience, but I explained to her that her service was ok, it’s just the meal was awful. I’ve seen through the reviews that customers seems to like this place and have great things to say about it, but unfortunately my experience was very disappointing to say the least.
