4.0 of 5 stars. Go here for the music. They used to have dj's downstairs, but recently I saw a live band perform upstairs on a saturday night. It was really nice. Smoky bar though. Ew. It was disrupting my enjoyment...

3.0 of 5 stars. I loved the location in Richmond's Shockoe Slip and the interior decor. I attended a private party in their basement level, which provided a nice intimate dining experience despite the large party of...

Yelp.com Review - by Rachel S.

3.0 of 5 stars. This idea is good, but it just lacks a little in execution. The Albarino was unremarkable, and the freshly uncorked Chianti had little bits of cork floating in it. The artichoke and leek "dip" was...

2.0 of 5 stars. The atmosphere is nice with a pretty cool downstairs venue, but the food is mediocre. Ever since they switched to a Spanish/Italian restaurant, they don't seem to do either very well. The tapas are...

Great for large groups!

I think Europa as a whole has greatly improved over the past 2-3 years. I first went there with my family on a whim, when the Hardshell was booked. It was my 23 birthday, and I wanted it to be fun not just for...

4.0 of 5 stars. I have to say, I was really excited to go to Europa. I had went to college in Richmond and always heard about Europa, but only recently went back to try it out.The ambiance is great. Dimly lit,...

3.0 of 5 stars. Having frequented the subterranean bar in Europa more times than I care to mention, I had yet to try their actual menu until this past Saturday. I had friends in town for a "Girls Weekend" and this...

3.0 of 5 stars. I went to Richmond for the weekend with some girl friends and we went to eat at Europa on a Saturday night. I first of all love that area of Richmond and had no idea how many shops/places to eat their...

Incredible Menu!

We had the best time at Europa. They were able to seat our walk in party of 8 right away by moving some tables together and the hostess was extremely friendly. We ordered many items from the tapas menu and...

My husbands favvvvvv caesar

Was looking forward to a dinner of tapas, but happy that Europa still offered entrees because a weekly steak is part of my diet regimen. Easy to make reservations (made them day of dining), was seated...

Yelp.com Review - by Natalie R.

5.0 of 5 stars. We really enjoyed our dinner here. We didn't do the tapas, because I spotted something on the menu I NEEDED instead. It was the gorgonzola pasta, and it was SO yummy, I miss it. Good wine...

3.0 of 5 stars. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. We ordered the paella to split as well as a few tapas. We were not impressed with the paella at all: it had absolutely no flavor. The hummus was good...

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is a tapas restaurant that also serves full size meals. We went for dinner on a Tuesday night and decided to go the tapas route. 1) Toasted Almonds - I'm not an almond person, but they...

One of my Top 5 Worst Dining Experiences

As a weekly business traveler who eats out at least 5 days a week, I have the opportunity to sample many restaurants. Europa is hands down one of my worst experiences. Don't get me wrong, I can understand a...

Great Time and Great Food

We needed a last minute reservation and they were booked, but called me back to let me know they had an opening. The food was excellent. The drinks were great Sangria, and the best Mojitos I have ever had. Our...

worst meal ever!

After the $9 martini and the $12 appitizer consisting of 4 very thin slices of meat and cheese, my wife and I tried the seafood paella, which was awful, at close to $40 per person for the dish, I expected much...

I was surprised by some of the reviews because I was pleasantly surprised by Europa. We went there by accident, actually we tried to get into another place down the street that had an hour wait. Europa is a...

We were a group of 13 but, unlike other restaurants, we were able to hear the conversations most of the way down the table. Most people liked the food except for the vegetarian of the group and her entree was...

lots of money little food

Of course, when you go to a tapas restaurant you expect to have lots of little dishes. But these dishes are a little on the expensive side and the dishes are really really small. I would not recommen...

Fantastic Service

Our waitress was incredibly fast, the tappas were fabulous (although they kept giving an odd number which made it harder to perfectly divide by 2), and the drinks (sangria) were not watered down.

Very Disappointing

Food was very disappointing, lamb meatballs were horrible, the other tapas were very ordinary, the service was very slow.

The Weather Was the Best Aspect

We were a group of 10 seated at an oblong table ... made conversation so difficult. Food prep took twice as long as a sushi bar ... and the place was only half full. Waiter was fine but kitchen was s l o w....

Why is this place still in buisiness?

I don't care for this restaurant at all and it's obvious that they don't care about their customers either. The wait staff is terribly inattentive and the food way overpriced. I guess they're still around...

Booo. Bad service

I was not blown away by the food, although you can't really go wrong with olives and hummus. My major gripe was the service. We were left sitting with empty glasses and no napkins for twenty five minutes when...
