Metzger

I'll admit it, I'm getting a little spoiled. See when I want an amazing meal with fresh, local ingredients prepared by ridiculously creative chefs I just have to walk a few blocks. Don't hate the player, hate the game:). Church Hill has become such a haven for so many wonderful new restaurants in Richmond that we are no longer surprised when we hear about a new one planting roots. In our neighborhood you will find a warm welcome and willing foodies lined up around the block to sample your delicious wares so keep it coming!

When we heard that Metzger Bar and Butchery was doing a pop-up dinner at The Roosevelt, while construction and planning are under way in what will be their permanent location, we jumped at the chance. The menu was gorgeous and the drink pairing was a nice treat that made the meal feel very special. My favorite was the pork loin (OH MY GOD!) and the chocolate doppelbock cake which I would marry if I could. Be sure to follow Metzger's Facebook page here for updates. Welcome to the neighborhood! I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
