Richmond has some well known restaurants like the Tobacco Company but I think it is all reputation and the meals are not worth the $30-$40 dollar price. Can anyone suggest any local or hidden restaurants that have excellent food for a decent price (willing to spend $25-$35 per entree) and have a quiet (so we can talk and not yell over people) but has a unique and fun atmosphere?
Thankyou so much!!
Lemaire at the Jefferson might fit your needs. I agree that the restaurants in the Slip and the Bottom don't typcially warrant the price.

Another good choice is Acacia:
