Hutch - Richmond

I have no idea why the RTD gave this 4 out of 4 stars. It was 2.5 to 3 stars at best. The atmosphere is nice, but our server seemed new and confused. 4 stars says to me that everything is fantastic and he was definitely a weak link. I ordered Pellegrino or whatever bubbly water they carried and was told all they had was club soda. Ok, that's fine too, but it seems odd a restaurant of their supposed caliber wouldn't carry a mineral water. The waiter told us the specials, we ordered, he came back and said they were out of what I ordered. Ok. I ordered something else. He came back and told me they were out of that too. Ok. So I ordered the Arugula salad, which was interesting, but way too salty. I could actually crunch on grains of salt- it wasn't because of cheese or dressing. The beef cheek tacos were tasty, but the special- scallop tacos- were bland and flavorless. The scallops were so undercooked that they tasted like ceviche. There were only 2 choices for dessert ?! Our party of 4 ordered both to split. The chocolate pot de creme was great but the Rosemary cake was just bad. It tasted like dense bread- just weird. Overall, it was a pleasant place with amateur service and food that has hits and misses. If they can improve their waitstaff and fine tune their dishes, it may one day deserve the 4 stars the newspaper gave them. I hope they do. It's a great location and we need a great, consistent restaurant in this part of town

I enjoyed eating at Estilo. The server answered lots of questions for us about the menu and was very nice. All the food came out in good time. Every one liked what they had but the real hit of the night was the Mexican chocolate pot. So good. I would go back.

Booths are great! Food limited but on point!! Unfortunately our waiter was the bartender ... not a good scenario if bar is crowded and you want a drink, or even more yumminess. Would for sure go back!

The food was very good, fresh and well presented. Menu is somewhat adventurous but very approachable. Will definitely recommend and go back.

We dined with another couple for dinner. It was a holiday weekend, and there were probably 5-6 other tables. The service was decent, but strangely timed. Drinks took a long time, but our food was was out in fewer than 10 minutes. We would have been happier with quicker drinks and slower food. We had the assorted olives as an appetizer, which was a good choice for sharing. We ordered a combination of medium and large plates for dinner. I had the hanger steak, and it was excellent. I ordered it medium rare, but it was closer to rare, but that's fine with me. The lobster tacos were a big hit. The deserts were unique and tasty, though I found the rosemary olive oil cake less desert-like than I prefer. We would eat here again.
