As new Fan residents, we enjoy trying all the little neighborhood restaurants. We visited Rowland to celebrate our son's birthday. What a great place. Nothing fancy as far as decor, some local art which is nice. Friendly staff. Pretty empty when we arrived, but filled up as night progressed. Appetizers and salads were fresh and tasty. Entrees were amazing! Son got the bison burger. It arrived slightly more done than his requested medium rare, but he said it was still very good. Flavorful sauce and sides of Yucca fries and butter bean relish. I got one of the specials - pork and cheese stuffed manicotti that was out of this world delicious! The sauce was so flavorful with lots of great stuffing in the pasta. My husband got the blackened shrimp with sausage. It was supposed to come served over grits, but he is not a grits guy, so he asked if he could substitute a side of Brussels sprouts. Waiter said would not be a problem. When the dish came out, you could tell the chef really worked the sprouts into the dish instead of just plopping on the side. They were shaved and prepared. Husband said it was really good. Topped things off with 2 very good desserts.
Could tell many who came were regulars who knew the chef. And speaking of the chef and owner, Bruce, he was visible and made sure everyone was happy. He even worked behind the bar!
We will definitely come back to Rowland and hopefully become regulars!
Awesome place with a great ambience!! Totally recommend the butter bean cake for the appetizer and Joe’s Chop for the entre. And the Virginia, the owner is super cool �. I’ll definitely be back!!
I loved the romantic atmosphere and our server was wonderful. Delicious food. Portions exactly right. My stuffed Flounder with Crab meat was mouth watering. I will definitely be back!!! A wonderful Valentines treat!!!!
Wonderful New Years Eve dinner. All of the price fix items were terrific! Really impressive! Still dreaming about the LobsterThermidor and tagliatelle dish with its deliciously light broth.
Quirky welcoming atmosphere. Great art work showcased on the walls. The scallops were moist and seasoned well. I will be back!
David called ahead for reservations and mentioned we would like a nice table because we were celebrating an anniversary. We were given a choice of three different tables. One of the neighboring diners, hearing of our celebration, bought us a bottle of wine. And the restaurant brought out champagne and complimentary dessert for us. That's how you get people to return ... we are now fans forever.
Amazing food, amazing staff, fabulous ambience, and the owners/chefs are so friendly and welcoming! It's the kind of place you'll want to go again and again! Do yourself a favor and go!
Thanks Bruce and Virginia for another fabulous dinner! Food was superb! You guys consistently prepare some of the best food served in Richmond! Great night with friends! Tom and I will see you again soon!
I've always a good meal at Rowland. Bruce and Virginia couldn't be nicer hosts! Go eat there.
Went for the first time last nite and the food is absolutely amazing. Very good presentation of food and great service. Can't wait to go back. Thank you very much!
Fabulous atmosphere and amazing food!
Everything was perfect. The ambiance was lovely. It's a relatively small establishment but they do very well with the space .It was so hard to decide on what to get but the service was excellent and happy to guide us through the options we were leaning towards. The plates were very well balanced and quite unique. I could eat a bucket of the Panna Cotta. Will absolutely be returning.
Had decided to go to Rowland as part of 2022's October Restaurant Week for dinner. Went to dinner on a Saturday night around 8 pm and were not disappointed in the least. When we arrived (party of 4), we were quickly seated and introduced to our server, which gave us time to look over drinks. After making our selections, we were given time to chat and catch up with each other. The small plates were great, myself. I had a pork belly with chimichurri, and the sauce was more amazing than the tasty pork. For the main, I had duck confit with pumpkin ravioli, which balanced so perfectly. The only hiccup came during this when a tablemate was given the wrong dish. The server, when made aware of it, quickly corrected this error. The only real complaint was the close seating, and it was a little loud. Will 100% go back for a normal night!
A warm, romantic atmosphere with great service and delicious food. Definitely a place to come back and enjoy a perfect dinner.
Our favorite Fan restaurant. Never had anything other than perfection here. Great food, interesting cocktail offerings, informative and kind staff. Husband and wife team in the kitchen make you feel welcome and appreciated! Great desserts made fresh daily. We will be back soon!
Went here for date night. Service was good, our waiter was very attentive. Really enjoyed the pork belly and spring roll appetizers. Sea bass was good. The pork chop was a thick hearty piece of meat, but it could have used a little more seasoning. The bread pudding dessert was fine. Overall, it was a good experience.
We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and it could not have gone any better. Our guests raved about the food and Chef Bruce was incredible easy to work with! Rowland will forever be special to us. Thank you so much Chef Bruce & Virginia!

Always a great meal. We love their fish specials.
This is my favorite restaurant in Richmond. I come here on birthdays and special occasions. All the cocktails are great and the staff are all incredible. But the food is the star. All the regular menu items are great but the specials always somehow even better. Would recommend to anyone and I do!
All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I dad the rockfish with mango which was tender and flavorful, my husband had the pecan encrusted pork chops that had a unique and delicious flavor. Our waiter was a little obtrusive, but overall pretty good.
Very cozy atmosphere. Delicious bread and the bolognese was fantastic. They have pretty cool cocktails too. Prices are very reasonable. They did forget my calamari appetizer but other than that the service was excellent. Would definitely come back.
My husband had the pecan pork chop an I had the shrimp pasta. The Calamari was too soft wish it was more crispy. The atmosphere was nice an relaxing. The waiters were great an patient considering we had a large group.
“Hidden” gem. Less-talked-about spot, but man, the food and drinks are great. Went to Rowland for the first time about 4 years ago, and recently returned. I don’t know what took me so long! Great seasonal menu. Best martini in Richmond. Cozy and calm atmosphere with some cool old Richmond interior elements. Homemade desserts. Now one of my favorite restaurants in the city!
