DOWNTOWN. La Petite France is referred to, by those who know, as the only True French Restaurant in Richmond. Classic dishes, like Dover sole with almonds and citronelle butter sauce, are served amidst an elegant and romantic setting. This is the perfect restaurant for that very special occasion.

DOWNTOWN. Five-Diamond Restaurant Lemaire is formal Old Virginia. One of the country's grandest hotels, The Jefferson, is the backdrop for authentic Virginia cuisine. Chandelier prisms, ornately carved 10-foot ceilings, tuxedo-clad wait staff and tables covered in crisp white linens ­ these all highlight selections like Virginia lamb served with mashed sweet potatoes, peanut soup, grilled Angus beef and spoon bread.
