Richmond, VA
Sam Miller's
1210 E Cary St Richmond, VA 23219
(804) 644-5465
Whenever we asked Richmonders were to go for good restaurants, they sent us to the Shockhoe Bottom district. That's where you'll find Sam Miller's. It's a sort of upscale seafood restaurant. Oysters were $1.50 each (expensive if you like a lot of oysters). They have Yeungling, an American lager and my favorite beer, on tap. I was mildly disappointed with my fish entree, not that it was bad, but it didn't live up to the per diem busting price.

2 doors down from Sam Miller's is Richbrau, a brewery restaurant. We ate late so only a limited menu ofbarfoodd was available. But my Fish n Chipssandwichh was pretty good, as were the home brews. I had a vanilla stout, which I was kind of worried about (but I wanted a stout), but the vanilla was hardly noticeable, it worked. They have pool tables and a wicked strong handdrier in the bathroom (don't miss it). I hear they have dancing on weekends.

This is a good breakfast spot across the street from the farmer's market (they have 3 locations). The decor is nice, faux exposed brick and flat screen monitors. The omelets are large, the grits competent and the apples fried. They also have specialty sodas, including the elusive chocolate cherry coke (upon request).
