Rowland 2132 West Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220

"Rowland is another nice example of a small Richmond corner restaurant located in an older, "classic" space. My group and I went there to celebrate my wife's birthday, and enjoyed it. Good cocktails and interesting appetizers. My rockfish was very good, as was my wife's strip steak, which was actually done rare, as she had ordered (not always the case). The only blip was that one person's salad never showed up until we mentioned it, and then it was not as ordered. Parking is the usual city challenge, and I believe there are no lots nearby, but we got lucky and grabbed a space just across the street."

"I’m not sure it’s fair to review a restaurant during restaurant week. I have to say I walked away a little hungry because the portions were small but that might’ve been because it was restaurant week. Our drinks were lovely and very strong and the soup with short ribs was incredible, my entrée of cinnamon pork was lacking in taste the flavor and the bread pudding did nothing for me"

"A warm, romantic atmosphere with great service and delicious food. Definitely a place to come back and enjoy a perfect dinner."

"Had decided to go to Rowland as part of 2022's October Restaurant Week for dinner. Went to dinner on a Saturday night around 8 pm and were not disappointed in the least. When we arrived (party of 4), we were quickly seated and introduced to our server, which gave us time to look over drinks. After making our selections, we were given time to chat and catch up with each other. The small plates were great, myself. I had a pork belly with chimichurri, and the sauce was more amazing than the tasty pork. For the main, I had duck confit with pumpkin ravioli, which balanced so perfectly. The only hiccup came during this when a tablemate was given the wrong dish. The server, when made aware of it, quickly corrected this error. The only real complaint was the close seating, and it was a little loud. Will 100% go back for a normal night!"

"Everything was perfect. The ambiance was lovely. It's a relatively small establishment but they do very well with the space .It was so hard to decide on what to get but the service was excellent and happy to guide us through the options we were leaning towards. The plates were very well balanced and quite unique. I could eat a bucket of the Panna Cotta. Will absolutely be returning."
