This place is the worst. We had a super terrible experience there for dinner one night. Bad food, bad service, and very expensive. My friend wrote a negative review and they immediately contacted her to refund her and give her a gift card IF she took her review down. I tell everyone I know to skip going there for dinner.

It would only be poor people affected by what your talking about anyway. They only people who can afford to live in the city anymore need to be able to pay 700+ a month with roommates to even exist, so anyone who makes less is pushed out of the city, where access to public transportation is terrible. So yeah its a fucking awful idea. Rich people will hire driving tutors for their kids

To my understanding, food costs are one of the smallest expenses in running a restaurant. Most of the expense comes from rent/equipment and salary. It's part of the reason portion sizes are so large: it doesn't cost much to give you more food, and it helps justify the higher prices needed to cover the larger expenses

This is just called a chain restaurant. The person plating it would probably get fired if they gave them 18 tots.

Why waste food just so I can say a restaurant served me what they should for someone in a "first-world country"? I'd rather sides not be as expensive, obviously, but why spend more money and create waste (or feel like shit for stuffing myself) when I can just not order it. Plenty of places solve this problem with small and large sides, as the smalls are usually reasonable.

That specialty cocktails thing might have something to do with their ABC license, just FYI.

Sun / The Fall of Richmond @ Gallery 5 / 7p / Free
Join Classical Revolution's 2022 Featured composer, Curt Sydnor, for the public premiere of the chamber symphony, The Fall of Richmond.
The Fall of Richmond evokes the turmoil and exultation which overtook Richmond on April 2-4,1865 as Confederate forces burned and abandoned the city. Composed in Richmond during the protests of 2020, the work is an ode to the US Colored Troops regiment which led the march into Richmond, to President Lincoln’s famous visit the following day, and to the concurrent liberation of Richmond’s enslaved population.
Gallery 5’s stage backdrop and historic walls will be illuminated with projections of Richmond’s ruins (as photographed by Matthew Brady and others) to create an immersive musical-historical environment. Conductor Naima Burrs will lead the nine-piece ensemble comprised of Richmond’s finest classical musicians, including members of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The program will also include premiers of Sydnor’s Chaconne for violin, bass, and piano and a song setting for chamber ensemble featuring Laura Ann Singh.
For Virginia music lovers, this one-time event is not to be missed.
The event is FREE and open to all ages! Donations encouraged.
Doors open at 6:40, music starts at 7:00pm.
We hope to see you there!
