Eat Out- The Tobacco Company


1201 E. Cary St. Richmond, VA
$$$$$
This is a definite special occasion restaurant, but I enjoyed absolutely everything I ate- even the bread was delicious! I had been to The Tobacco Co. to see shows before, but had never before had the pleasure of dining there. The building itself is pretty awesome, as it dates back to 1866, was once a tobacco warehouse, and has an impressive antique chandelier and antique elevator. We started off with cocktails and cups of she-crab soup. Yum! I had a Key Lime Martini that tasted exactly like key lime pie, so it was a nice summer choice. The soup was absolute rich, buttery deliciousness. For my entree I had the Seafood Pasta: Salmon, Shrimp, Scallops & Crab meat in a smoked Gouda dill cream sauce over linguine. It was decadent and definitely richer than what I would normally choose, but as it was a special occasion and a fancy new restaurant, it was fun to go all out! There was absolutely no room for dessert and plenty of delicious leftovers!
