McCormack's Big Whisky Grill

This place was incredible, the private space was amazing, the tasting was so well thought out, and our entire group had a blast. Bonus points: they have gluten free options.

I should have written this a month ago, but life interfered. My family is rarely able to get together in our home state of Virginia, but when we do, we're a lot. My dad, my sister and me, five adult children, and sometimes a friend or two. One adult child is vegan, another has Celiac and a few other allergies. On March 17th, we were in Richmond for a memorial service that honored my mom, which meant we were FINALLY able to go to McCormack's Big Whisky Grill. My mom would have loved that. We descended on the restaurant in staggered numbers and they could not have been more accommodating. Because we arrived within an hour of opening, we were able to snag the big table even though we were willing to sit at two different tables if needed (we weren't so lucky at other places over the weekend). We discovered a new favorite whisky (Writer's Tears) and placed a second order of the creamy shrimp, bacon, and artichoke spread because it was amazing. Everyone loved their entrees, and my sister and I have been trying for the last month to figure out what's in the Smoky Agave dressing we ordered for our salads. It was St. Patrick's Day and very busy, but no one rushed us...and we needed that. Many, many thanks.
