Charred Swift Creek

"The new Chef, Chef David, simply rescued my faith in modern American cuisine as well as established classics with flair. I can't wait to return to try his next special. His talent is definitely felt as the quality of the food has definitely improved since he came on to this establishment. Hopefully he stays here, at a place close to my home and doesn't get snatched up by some better paying place closer to or in Richmond proper."

"Took my friend out for her birthday. The atmosphere was nice but the waitress had a weird attitude. She was friendly enough at first, but after we got our food we had to wait awhile for our check. So my friend asked the host to take our payment so we could continue with our day. Well apparently she thought I was the one who did this. So at the end she walked over turned her back to me wished my friend a happy birthday and walked off. She refused to even acknowledge me although I am the person who paid and gave her a great tip. I will never come back to this place. The food was decent and like I said she did ok at the very beginning. I own a business and we do not treat our customers this way. I was respectful to her the entire time so there was no cause for this behavior. The waitress' name is Deana by the way."

"Great restaurant and really good service! Decent amount of brunch options as well. Atmosphere is really nice. Can be full and doesn’t feel too crowded. Will go back and try more!"

"Decent experience. Customer service was excellent. Prompt, detailed oriented, precise. Provided us with all the information we needed to order a good meal. Food was underwhelming, but still good. Lacked the original flavor and spice needed to draw in the locally owned and operated title. Calamari was cooked to perfection; huge plus. Spaghetti scampi was less flavorful than expected. Sauce was thick and pasty. Wings were good. Drinks were tasty. One of the best features of this restaurant would be the outdoor seating around the fireplace. It definitely sets the tone and vibe for any occasion. I recommend anyone stopping through the area to give this place a try solely based on their drink, variety and comfy atmosphere."

"I’ve visited this restaurant several times at different times over the past couple years and each time the experience has been the same, fabulous! It is a favorite go to if you like sitting by a fire pit outdoors, super cozy, but inside is equally as lovely, I’ve done both with friends. You cannot go wrong ordering their hummus, the best ever, and pimento cheese as appetizers. Fresh, delicious and consistent. Their pizzas are brick over and equally tasty, you have several to choose from (they will accommodate you the best they can) and their burger I found delicious as well, I like pimentos and minus the bacon, which I don’t eat. Now for their drinks, highly recommend as well. They have their own specialty cocktails, I had their Charred Manhattan most recently, but their martinis are good as well. My friends enjoyed their drinks as well, even if Smashmouth IPA.. If you want to try a unique restaurant that’s not a chain, with a limited, but delicious menu, you’ll have a pleasant experience. You can also grab a seat at the bar and watch a game. Try it!"
