What Reba Pfannerstill doesn't like about Grandstaff & Stein Book Sellers:
Promptly seated and water brought to the table. However no menus brought for about 15 minutes. Menu accessed through Open Table and on the restaurant‘s Facebook page were both different and not the same as the one given to us at the restaurant. While the food was good, it was cold so not sure if that was a cook or waiter issue. View all feedback. What Freeman Rempel likes about Grandstaff & Stein Book Sellers:
A true gem in a hole in the wall. I first heard of Grandstaff on open table and decided to give the restaurant a try. I LOVE this place. The food was excellent, our server, Ethan was attentive and professional and the atmosphere although dark was comfortable. So happy we found a true Richmond standout View all feedback.
