Name Address
(1) 8 1/2/Edo's Squid/Mama 'Zu see right table for all contact information

(3) Pescados China Street 626 China St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Pine St) (804) 644-3474

(4) Black Sheep 901 West Marshall St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Goshen St) (804) 648-1300
Kevin Roberts understands the value culture of Richmond foodies and poor students alike. Massive "two meal" sandwiches (Battleships) = Value.
(5) Rowland Fine Dining  2132 W Main St Richmond, VA 23220 (x Shields Ave) (804) 257-9885  
With all the influx, the Rowlands have become the standard bearers of the Platonic ideal of the Main Street "Fan Restaurant."  Superior Sunday brunch is served here.
