Reviews of Chez Foushee (Restaurant)

Amy Jones

We were so excited to find such a lovely restaurant within walking distance of the Jefferson Hotel. Our concierge, William, recommended Chez Foushee and he was spot on. The ambiance is quite charming. The restaurant is open and the decor is elegantly simple. Our server, Jason, was very patient with us, making strong suggestions. We started with the pimento cheese with crostinis, which was very good. My friend ordered a half-dozen oysters and she was very happy. I chose the Shrimp Creole for my entree, and it was just the right size. The cheddar grits were a nice accompaniment. One friend had the ratatouille, which she would order again! Another friend had the Crispy Skin Salmon, and she too would order it again. We had cocktails first, and then a well-priced bottle of picpoul to accompany our dinner. Thanks for a fabulous meal!

Amazingly delicious brussel sprouts salad. Cute French-style restaurants the heart of downtown RVA.

Daryl Harvey

Catherine Henson

Irene Burlock

Lovely. Excellent cuisine and superb service.

Cynthia Reynolds

We got the best seats in the house! This is such a nice, little place with plenty of huge windows and a beautiful marble bar. The service was great...food came out quickly. They changed my meal to suit me more but forgot two of the ingredients the meal was supposed to come with...which made the meal not taste so great. Aside from that, it didnt have much hollandaise and the fries were tasteless. For RVA, the food is probably pretty good, but for NOVA its mediocre. I usually don't have to ask for hot sauce, at a place like this, but I did. Otherwise the place was beautiful and service was amazing.

Very cool building and very good food. Wait staff was very accommodating. Brunch was delicious.

Mark Harper

Great food and the service is excellent!!

Zach Radcliff

We had the pimento cheese app, sprout and bacon salad, scallops, and short ribs. Our waiter did an excellent job of helping us make selective based on our tastes and the drinks paired perfectly. We will absolutely be going back. The atmosphere was also perfect.

Greg Vigil

Great service and drinks. The menu looked great, but the food didn't live up to the expectation.

Josh Sessions

One my favorite Richmond restaurants and the best place to have a party. The food never disappoints. The service is impeccable and so are the drinks. Are making a reservation yet?

Ajinkya Kawale

Great food, excellent service. Best part - the coffee was amazing.

A gem that Richmonders tend to take for granted because Chez Foushee has been a staple for so long. We'll not make that mistake again. The restaurant is incredibly appointed with high ceilings and a color scheme that seems to create light. The service was outstanding - the waiter noticed our poached eggs were cooked solid & had the kitchen remake our meals without us saying a word about it, except thank you. Once the eggs were cooked correctly, the Benedict brunches (one traditional, one crabcake) were fantastic with a hollandaise sauce that is probably the best in the city. The brunch cocktail menu was a great blend of both traditionals and new takes on old favorites. We are so happy that Chez Foushee quietly continues to be a Richmond delight.

Amazing

Bruno Sultanum

Good French option. A bit in the pricey side.

Lauren Gospodnetić

Love the rib-eye! Great service. Definitely pricey, but amazing rib-eye

Nick Nardo

Great food

Sidney Sharp

We split bacon-sauteed brussell sprouts, seafood crepe, hangar steak with pomme frites, lemon butter cake, and creme brulee. I found the lemon butter cake mildly disappointing mostly because it's not a butter cake at all, but a cheese cake on a shortbread crust. As delicious as that sounds, I'm just not a fan of cheesecake and would not have ordered it but for the misnomer. Having said that, my dining companion did not love it either after we traded. Everything else was perfect including the service. $110 with tip included a beer, a ginger ale, and a coffee so $$$$, but this sweet little dining room is unique architecturally and otherwise.

Lisa Hannah

Great food, wonderful atmosphere and lovely wait staff. A little pricey, so don't go often.

Darrell Smith

Always treated with class!

Common Criminal

The wine is priced fairly and they offer classic cocktails and martinis of all kinds. Each dish is balanced and matched perfectly with complementing sides. You can't miss the cod or the duck! Save room for dessert so you can taste the lemon butter cake.

Michael Beverly

For a company party. Catered well.

Julie Smith

Last night my fiancé and I went to Chez Foushee for the first time and had an incredible experience!! The restaurant is absolutely adorable inside, the tables were well spaced out and private, the staff was incredibly kind and the food was delicious! I am looking into having my bridal luncheon here. One of the finer Richmond restaurants!

Parker Greene

Fantastic meal with great service!

Brianna Grant

The food and service was absolutely wonderful

Douglas Atkins

Unbelievably good food! Try the potato cake crusted grouper! Fantastic for a dinner party of 12!

Lauren Wilson

Cute, quiet spot for dinner. Amazing waitstaff. Delicious shrimp and grits.

Mark Mancil

Always good for lunch. The crabcake sandwich was generous with crab meat and very flavorful.

Bennie Good

Very nice pre-play dinner spot. Gotta try the lemon cake.. Though it's closer to a lemon chess deep dish pie.

Kel Millionie

Such a lovely restaurant. The food and service are always flawless.

Dan R

The food was excellent, and our waiter Jason was awesome. He was super willing to talk to us about the cheese selection and he took good care of us. Be prepared to spend some time here, but it will be an enjoyable time.

Linda Simonpietri

Attentive staff. Nice setting. Good food even though my duck was underdone in places.

Jgsushi

Great place with nice staff good food and clean tables. My only complaint: the bathroom was not particularly clean.

John Fulton

My wife and I and another couple had a delightful Valentine's day dinner.

Elizabeth Clarke

Very nice evening. Took a while to get our 1st course but after that service was perfect. Food was delicious!

Terri Garrett

Typical little city restaurant

Kathy Wilson Jones

This is another place where I can't hear myself talk; half of the dinner I'm pretending to hear what the other person said because I've gotten tired of asking them to repeat. The noise is so overwhelming, at least at lunch, that I can't remember anything about the food. But, it must have been alright otherwise I'd remember to write a review about.

Barbara Williams

Consistently delicious food! Excellent service and friendly staff.

LaVaniel

Went here for a late Valentine's Day dinner and came away very impressed. The ambiance was very nice. Located right on the corner, hardwood floors, white table cloths, very classy. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with the menu selections. The Osso Bucco was excellent. Their Lemon Butter Cake, which they are known for, is also a must try.

Steve Giacobbo

Great beef dip... Was expecting a little more creole though...

Jon McClure

Great ambiance and attentive service. Called ahead re wheelchair access and experienced a warm welcome and table already set up. Spinach Rockefeller bisque was subtle with a little heat. Also enjoyed the famous "decadently deliscious" lemon butter cake. Would come back in a heartbeat!

T Carter

Little Chez Deli & Cafe The tastiest food. Love Dido's quiche. The friendliest people. Wish they were open 7 days a week!

Joel Waxman

Definitely between 3 and 4. I recently went with my fiancé and we had a pretty good experience. We were greeted pretty quickly when we entered, although we got kind of a stuffy, "did you make a reservation?" We started with the pimento cheese. It was tasty and the portion was good. Next we each had a salad- my fiancé had the Caesar and was pleased. I was disappointed there was only one option without anchovies or bacon, so I had the market salad, which was ok. It was described as having red leaf lettuce, but was made with another variety, and the tomatoes weren't great, being that it's February. For our entrees we had the red fish special with winter veggies and horseradish, which was well-cooked overall very good, and the gnocchi which was also very good. Good atmosphere, service, and food. We'll probably be back.

This location has a nice and inviting atmosphere. We went here for Sunday brunch. The drinks were over priced and underwhelming. The staff was not very knowledgeable. We asked about their eggs Chesapeake, they said it was lump crab in the crab cake and believed them. The crab was shredded and very breaded. They also were out of the goat cheese for their eggs Benedict, so I got the quiche of the day which was obviously just microwaved. They over charged for the drinks, and did not check to see how our food was. Will not be returning.

tom fauquet

The food is astounding. I had the trout. The creme brulee was a perfect ending. Congratulations to Whitney.

Joshua Griffin

We have been many times over the years, a bit fancy, great food, great service. Great desserts! One of the better burgers in town too. Soups also noteworthy.

Eric Dobbs

"Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens," but Chez Foushee is as close to heaven as I have ever experienced, and the food and service are definitely happening there. My daughter and I had a wonderful meal there before seeing Mame at Virginia Rep Theatre. I left the choice of restaurant to my daughter, since she is in that industry. I must have raised her right. When we were about to leave for the theatre, I said, "the only bad thing about this meal is that it is over." But the serving size was just right - don't get me wrong. It's just that I was enjoying myself so much that I didn't want it to stop.

Penelopy Skubon

Went there for restaurant week, definitely will go back. Friendly service, beautiful restaurant, excellent food. Portions were just right. Must try lemon butter cake.

Rabbi Scott Nagel

Great place for a date or even a relaxed lunch. Great food and very accommodating. Cocktails are top notch!

W Earp

The Lemon Butter Cake!!

Kenny Weeks

I really enjoyed this place! We showed up around 6:20pm for a 6:00pm reservation for 10 and they were still able to accommodate us without a problem. The server (Jason) was very personable and did a great job explaining the dishes to our group. I got the pimento cheese spread for an appetizer had the Duck Breast with Duck Confit as my entree. Both were phenomenal! The breast was perfectly cooked and not oily at all, yet it was quite juicy. The price tag was just over $110 for me and my wife including 1 cocktail, 4 beers, an appetizer, 2 entrees and tip. Overall great experience....we will be back.

Kristi Hall

Caters amazing staff that are incredibly willing to help make sure your wants and needs are met. Very polite and respectful with a friendly feeling. The Tomato Bisque is phenomenal! And I was also advised to try the lemon-butter cake. I will definitely be coming back for their 3 Course Meal for $25 on a Friday or Saturday and will bring a couple friends to enjoy the meal too! Atmosphere is definitely that of a "fine-dining" restraunt (even for their lunch options) - I guess it caters to the white collar/business class of RVA that doesn't work too far from the restaurant. Looking forward to a sit-down dine-in experience here.

Chris Miller

Delicious French cuisine, classy environment, happy service, and excellently balanced flavors.
