Shagbark - Richmond

When dessert and the Bread Basket are the highlights of the meal it 's not going to be a great review. The Fresh Halibut special was stringy, dry and wet at the same time which are hallmarks of a frozen fish. The Pork chop was cooked to temp, but it was needlessly tough and chewy. Pork chops need to be brined or slow cooked, this was flash cooked where the outside was crusted but the inside was very tough with no rendering of fat. But if you like shredded kale your going to love this place because it comes on every plate... Will not return.

Excellent service and great food! Might have been the best pork chop I’ve had in my life. Also, highly recommend the friend green tomatoes and fried oyster apps, but you really can’t go wrong!

We had such a wonderful dinner at Shagbark! For 2 people we split 5 appetizers (no mains) and left ABSOLUTELY stuffed. Every dish we tried was delicious the short rib gnocchi was particularly good and I would get it as my main next time. Chicken fried oysters were another favorite. We also enjoyed the light, but very flavorful burrata salad and ceviche.Cocktails I ordered Margo Verde and it did not disappoint, such a fresh and flavorful drink.Lastly, the service I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful the service was. Attentive without being overbearing. We very much appreciated that each appetizer was already split into two portions so it was easy to share.We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing dinner out with delicious food and drinks in a beautiful setting.

I had the caesar salad …very good.The entrée was the chicken dinner….served cold and a cold plate. The server took it back to the kitchen and in a few minutes brought it back out….also cold….they asked if I wanted anything else…however the rest of the party would be finished by the time another entree was brought out. Food that should be served hot should never leave the kitchen cold! Another person in the party also had cold scallops…

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I went to the soft opening and it was just amazing but now the food is even better!! unique combination, southern cuisine, and New World fusion! So yummy.
