Well this isn't new, but in case you're hungry and in Richmond

Any of my friends out there looking for a good anniversary dinner place, or just a reason to enjoy a dining experience that will be squirreled away in your Damn that was one of the best meals I've had in a long while file, Arcardia should be filed under D for Do it Now lol! Read on fellow foodies:

To say Arcadia is a just a restaurant is a travesty. It was a positively esoteric experience from the blackberry martini with the frozen rosemary twizzle stick, to the agave whipped butter and fresh bread, to the sweet onion jam and juniper oil drizzled on the carpaccio, to the peppery goodness of my arugula and sour apple salad, to my 12 oz NY strip with the port and shallot butter, to the chocolate decadence three layer torte with chocolate ganache and dark chocolate gelato, to my espresso with the lemon twist at the end. I have never had a meal that sublime in my life. What a meal, what a restaurant.**

**I did fail to mention my sides of collard greens with homemade duck bacon and broccoli rabe sauteed in garlic and hot pepper flakes. I could have made a meal of those, but I am glad I didn't!!
