We had an amazing brunch here! Really interesting and tasty entrees and a delicious bloody mary. My friend and I both agreed the sausage patties were the best we’ve ever tasted. Our server was also great and very accommodating to requests. Would definitely return for brunch and would love to try dinner options some time. Thanks for a lovely experience!

Had an amazing dinner here. The service was impeccable and the staff were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. They were sensitive to dietary restrictions and were willing to make minor modifications upon request. The food was artful and delicious! Would recommend as a place to try if you are visiting Richmond.

Really cute hidden gem; great to have a low-key fine dining experience with friends and family. Would not recommend for parties larger than 6 people as it’s a small venue. Would 1000% recommend for girls night dessert, appetizer and drinks. Loved everything, but feel their German influence/inspiration/origins have been buried by the creative oeuvre of the chefs. Not complaining but miss having traditional german dishes and this used to be the place for that. Most of the menu is perfectly contemporary and complex in flavor, but the entrees were either too small or too salty. Loved the wine that was recommended to us, but was shocked by the wine prices. Just can’t get cheap good wine outside of Europe I guess. They have very friendly service staff; we will definitely be back.

two of us got 3 apps and a main to share: “beans and greens”, sunchoke, clams, and schnitzel. overall a good experience- good vibes, good service, good drinks, good quantities (except the clam dish was just 3 clams), really quality ingredients.

easily one of the best restaurants in richmond. the elegance of the textural blends, flavor combinations that are simultaneously comforting and nuanced are divine. the meyer lemon sorbet was stunning, the schnitzel was shockingly light and carefully paired with a celery salad and the daintiest mustard. love.

My husband and I tried this place for brunch today. It was both our first time here, but it will definitely NOT be our last. The food was absolutely amazing! Delicious! We split the Pork Schnitzel with gravy and the Charcuterie Board. All we could manage to say in between bites were things like “Wow!” And “How have we not been here before?!”. So freakin’ good! My Brunch Punch drink paired well with the food. 1000% recommend

I just loved everything about it. one of my favorite meals I’ve had since moving to Virginia. Service was fantastic, we shared a bunch of plates at the table and loved every bite. (The Schnitzel is to die for). The cocktails (both the on-the-menu specials and just standard cocktails) were excellent, and definitely get the dessert.

Metzgers is an intimate dining experience with immaculate attention to details such as quality ingredients and creative presentation. The restaurant is small and unpretentious, but the food and cocktails are surprisingly elevated and feature a constantly rotating menu of exciting seasonal cuisine. You get the impression that everyone who works there has both experience and passion for their art, and that you could take anyone from your boss to your new date to your most critical foodie friend there to impress without, well, seeming like you’re trying to impress. It’s truly a gem, and I look forward to dining there again.

Good food, the food is much different here and it wasn’t really my type of food. It’s a bit more on the bitter kinda side. If this is more your pallet, you must go try this. If not. This place will be interesting lol.
