Bookbinder's Seafood & Steakhouse

Went here for step daughters bday. I got the cowboy ribeye med rare. It wasn't the best cut of meat and came out more medium, but it was ok. My step daughters steak was sent back 5 times. And came back blue rare every time even though she wanted med rare. If you have more than 8 people, they will not seat you unless you pay for a special event. For the price, i was expecting more of a Morton's or Perrys experience and received more of a chain Steak house one. Server and manager tried to be very accommodating. But food just wasnt what i expected.

Bookbinders is overhyped by the locals. Snapper soup was below average. The bread was amazing and drinks were good. Seafood platter had excellent components (crab and cocktail shrimp) and average to below average parts (oysters). The steak is nice forsure (we had the kona filet and the cowboy ribeye, red mashed potatoes were also good but the mushrooms were average. There were some hits and some misses. Worth trying overall.

Our favorite steakhouse in Richmond! If it is warm outside, ask to be seated in outdoor patio area - great, food, staff, feel and experience.
