Nah Tobacco Company is expensive, but definitely not mediocre. I see a lot of functions happening at Casa del Barco which fits the description of mediocre and path of least resistance waaaay more I think.

Amazingly, that has been the case for the 30 years I’ve lived in RVA.

Went there once in the late 90s or early 00s and whatever I ordered was inedible. Never wanted to go back. Tastes have likely changed since then, but it's out of my way to even attempt to go there anyway.

When? Seriously asking, because I've been in Richmond a long time and never heard good things about the food.

Never had a bad experience there. Expensive and pretentious? A little bit, but the food is great.
