The Tobacco Company Restaurant

If you happen to wander down East Cary Street in the Shockoe Slip of Richmond, Virginia, you will come across The Tobacco Company Restaurant: a four-story venue comprised of two dining floors, a cocktail lounge with live music, and a popular nightclub and dance floor. The restaurant is celebrating over 36 years as Richmond’s dining and entertainment spot.

The building, formerly a tobacco warehouse, has been standing since 1866. The restaurant took over in July of 1977, when Jearald Cable saw the possible success in starting a restaurant in Shockoe Slip. All brickwork, heavy beams, and columns that customers see today are original to the building.

The Tobacco Company Restaurant’s menu is filled with delicious options, each one never failing to disappoint. The specials are also always spectacular. However, there are a few delights on the main menu that the restaurant’s regulars find to be go-tos.

Fried Yellow Tomatoes

The Fried Yellow Tomatoes are easy to please. A vegetarian appetizer comprised of southern-style vine ripened yellow tomatoes, breaded and deep fried, served with roasted red pepper vinaigrette and pesto mayonnaise.

Seared Scallops

The Seared Scallops are not only a customer favorite, but a staff favorite as well. The pan seared diver sea scallops are served over roasted green pepper risotto, finished with caramelized grape tomato cream sauce and crisp flat bread.

Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef

The Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef has been a signature entrée item for the past 37 years. The dish consists of 12 ounces of slowly roasted prime rib served with au jus, baked potato, and vegetable du jour.

Butter Cake

Diners should not leave The Tobacco Company Restaurant without ordering dessert. The Butter Cake is the restaurant’s signature dessert. The moist cake is blended with extra butter and cream cheese before baking, served warm, and topped with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, and chocolate sauce.

Although these signature dishes are fan favorites, you will be satisfied with anything off The Tobacco Company Restaurant menu. Go to www.thetobaccocompany.com to make a reservation today.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
