Good list! Tara Thai is soooo good, I love their fire red curry! Thai Diner and Elephant Thai are both really good too. Some others that we like are Peking, Mexico, Capital Ale House, River City Diner, Silver Diner, Super King, and Ginger Red (out in Mechanicsville)

Don't forget about Verbena (Floyd and Robinson)!  Sunday brunch order the Nutella French Toast - you will think you have died and gone to chocolate hazelnut heaven!  Also Zeus Gallery Cafe (it is right at the end of my alley so it's quick to get to) on Belmont and Grove has a new menu every week because he buys from the fresh market so it is whatever they have on hand.  Carytown has great Thai restaurants as well as CanCan and Weezie's Kitchen.  Gosh I am hungry now - thanks!  Oh don't forget Deluxe, 3 Monkey's and Starlight all on Main Street.  Just come down here and try them all!

Oh geez!!  I didn't see one of my old faves - Sunday brunch at Strawberry St. Cafe!!!

3 Monkeys is also yummy?

I'm dittoing Bottom's Up Pizza; divine!  Legend's still serves food, right?  Gotta love a local brewery? Last I lived in Richmond they had live music on Sunday evenings out on the patio?

I miss my Richmond.
