Adarra - Richmond

A tailored, personal dining experience with some of the tastiest food in RVA. TLDR: If your looking for a unique experience while dining, coupled with a catered personal touch, then this is the place. Premiere menu items developed, explained, served, and paired with drinks by the owners Lyne and her husband. Your table will share the dishes and experience the flavors together. Fair warning: can get costly $100 per) if you go for everything. Food: I normally go into depth here but I'm going to keep it simple. The chef has some truly amazing dishes here. Flavors are fully developed and expertly prepared. Egg yolk with mushroom, shrimp, iberico ham, and squid in ink were our favorite. Lyne will go into wonderful depth and detail about each dish, where it's sourced, and what to expect. That's part of the joy of eating here. Drinks: Hand selected wine choices by the owners both certified sommeliers) pair wonderfully. The bar makes very, very good cocktails. Selections are high end. Atmosphere: A small, quaint, personal dining experience. I had the sense of being treated to a special dinner with friends, curated by the owners. Really enjoyed it.

Went to this place on May 20. Hands down the BEST restaurant in Richmond. Everything was flawless. Highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a Michelin star experience (even tho it is not a Michelin restaurant). I just can't say enough about how great this place is. To me it beats L'Opossum, Stella's, Alewife, Grisette, The Roosevelt, Lillie Pearl, Lemaire, Bookbinder's Seafood, Maple Pine etc, etc in short all the top restaurants in RVA

Went to the dry run at Restaurant Adarra. Food was delicious, super savory and rustic. We had the fresh shaved Iberico, Octopus Stew, Basque Risotto with smoky Idiazabal sheep cheese, and Olive Oil Cake with Smoked Hickory Ice Cream. They have Dealers Choice cocktails where you provide your spirit and a couple of descriptors. I choose Bourbon, Citrus, and Floral. Carey choose Tequila, Spicy, and Fruity. Wine list

Great little place for pintxos and a few larger dishes. They have Basque cider too!
