Eurasia Café

It was our turn to pick the restaurant, and all our friends live in The Fan. Eurasia is the best restaurant in The West End to get that similar dining experience. Another great meal. Thanks.

My meal here was very good, though I did run into a surprising amount of vinegar. It was an odd combination, but generally very pleasant as I am quite fond of the twang of vinegar. It added a bit of brightness, and some clarity to the flavors of my dish. Still, a bit less would have been better.

My co-workers all had excellent meals, with the tempura shrimp appetizers and the lovely wine list being two lauded features. I think that you should give Eurasia a try, but maybe stick to the appetizers and sandwiches for your first visit. Round it out with an order of the truffled mac&cheese and I suspect you'll go home happy.

In the interest of disclosure: The VA Beach location is one of my favorite restaurants in that area, so perhaps I'm carrying a bit of bias.

We stopped in for a pleasant meal prior to a concert at the University of Richmond.  Our service was good and the atmosphere in the restaurant, while a little too dark, was nice.  There is a bar area in the back of the restaurant as well as the main dining room in front.

Black bean bisque was good - but only if you care for lime, as the citrus flavor was strong.  The panko shrimp app was good - the shrimp were plump and moist.  My wife enjoyed the skirt steak special and the steak was tender and flavorful.  The "bbq" smoked salmon I ordered was ok but the spice rub was way too spicy and overwhelmed the dish.  Also, please clean the bloodline off the salmon prior to plating it on top of mashed potatoes.  Brownie and ice cream desert was good, but the apple cobbler suffered from leaving the peel on the apple and not enough cobble on top.  Try using a wide dish instead of a deep one.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the service was good.  We will definitely try Eurasia again.
