位於Richmond​的優質家常料理餐廳

We arrived on time for our 8pm reservation. It was crowded and we had to wait no more than 10 minutes to be seated. Once seated it took our sever a couple of minutes to take our drink order. The food, drinks and ambience was perfect. The Christmas decorations and Christmas cocktails were amazing. Helen’s definitely is top notch with service, food and cocktails.

We enjoyed a great lunch to celebrate the Winter Solstice! Our server, Justin, was professional, attentive, and helpful. The environment was lovely; we were seated in the small dining room next to a lovely fire in the fireplace and with a great view of Carytown. The super-thin octopus and fried calamari appetizers were great starters. We moved on to phenomenal crab cakes (so much crab!) and fried oysters, both over a roasted corn salad. The oysters also featured a spicy aioli, and the crab cake was served over roasted sweet potatoes with a cilantro oil. We also had a Yellowtail carpaccio that was superb. Dessert was amazing: a perfectly balanced single malt butterscotch pudding with shortbread, a superb version of sticky toffee pudding, and delicious house-made donuts with lemon curd and fruits.

Excellent Excellent Excellent. Ambience A+, Service A+, Food A. We’re going back, we may even make this a part of our restaurant rotation. A real gem. Only reason food did not get an A, it could have been slightly warmer. The taste, however was exceptional (there was literally not an empty table when we went so we know the kitchen was busy). Again, a great dining experience.

Always an excellent experience in fine dining with a quirky twist in atmosphere and decor. Best restaurant soundtracks ever. Talented bartender with great range of cocktails. Servers are well trained and knowledgeable.

The food was excellent. I did not take a photo of our order before we ate it but it was all delicious. My husband had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the Rueben sandwich, both excellent. He also had the She Crabby soup which was so good we bought some to go. If you’re in the Richmond area, just go and enjoy.
