TGI FRIDAYS - Richmond (The Village)

This restaurant was always on my list to try for downtown options The RVA is blessed with a plethora of delicious international cuisine options.

Visited 12/3/17 Ethiopian food is always a treat for meI love all of the great flavors and (mostly) eating everything with injera.

Really wanted to like this restaurant, but needs more polish, esp service and cleanliness. The bad: Young man came by, he didn't bother writing down our

Six of us went for a light dinner after a show. We shared appetizers, all of which were super! My brother had a salad (arugula, red and yellow beets, pistachios and creme fraiche) which he declared the best he'd ever eaten. Very pleasant, welcoming and helpful staff. The only thing missing was a glass of wine and a few beers... it's BYO, which we didn't realize.

Very tasty food. Excellent presentation. Friendly staff. Nice ambience. Neat neighborhood scene. Highly recommended. The place has potential.
