Name that restaurant /other locale

[thatguy]

How about a small place that has incredible soups that is soon moving into a much larger location across the street? My favorite on a cold day is the tomato soup with a grilled cheese... which by the way is the most unique grilled cheese I've ever had.

Zuppa?

[urbanvb]

Interesting name. Have you had your Zuppa yet?

We need to try and make this a little more difficult. Here is a picture. No other hints yet.

Is it HALFWAY HOUSE on the way to Petersburg? I'm digging this thread.

[burt]

Not Halfway House...

Never been there - I've heard good things though.

It serves Italian and German cuisine.

Well done!! It is Acapella. And that is a picture of the room off the pub downstairs. They have a great outdoor dining area for when it is warm out. My next clue was going to be that the owner and chef is the former chef of Pasta Luna.

Name two highly rated restaurants within blocks of one another in The Museum District (excluding Carytown).

Ok, I failed on naming Acapella, but this one seems easier.

How about ZEUS GALLERY CAFE and 1 NORTH BELMONT?

[burt]

OK, checkplease, until you're ready with a doozy, I'll go again.

Who is The Empress of dining emporiums in Richmond?

OK. First hint: Her next venture will be in The Fan.

When you said Empress, I immediately thought of Empire on West Broad... technically in the Fan.

Michelle owns the Hard Shell, Europa, Hill Cafe, that hanover tavern, and where next?

[burt]

Correct gntrphoo and BP. Michelle Williams owns/operates all of the above plus, CHA CHA CANTINA and LUCKY BUDHA. The former Southern Comfort across from STICKY RICE on West Main at about Strawberry Street is her next venture.

Other than the obvious biggies like The Coliseum, Landmark, Siegal Center, etc., what is the largest concert club venue in Metro Richmond. I THINK I know the answer, but you might surprise me. (Toads Place and the National are not yet open.)

[BreakfastPills]

Okay, no hints with this one... just a picture. If you need another hint, it'll be a picture.

Could it be MORTON's, THE STEAK HOUSE?

[burt]

I would guess the Canal Club.

[wrldcoupe4]

It doesn't look like Morton's to me, but I don't know what it would be otherwise then..

[BreakfastPills]

Oops, I apologize, burt, I was in the middle of posting this one without realizing that hints had already been posted. I'd probably guess the Canal Club or Alley Katz, but neither seem that lucrative.

That's the plan, Joey.

TBurban has promised to help keep us up to date on the Short Pump, Western Henrico/Goochland area. Keep your eyes open for developments in your area, please -- like Texas de Brazil, for instance.

Is it the dining room at The Omni. I don't think it is open to the public but is used for smallish private functions. The Omni is a four-diamond hotel.
