What's for Lunch? CODA Urban Bistro

I've seriously neglected my blog for the past couple of weeks, but it's for good reason. I have a lot of great things to share in the near future.  Over the holidays, I'll have way more time to provide intriguing content, but for now, there will be a bit of silence.

With that said, I'm writing a quick note about how awesome my lunch was today. A crab cake sandwich, with passion fruit tartar sauce and a yummy field greens salad was the perfect way to chow down today at CODA Urban Bistro, a new restaurant in Downtown Richmond (located next to the National). The environment was very pleasant and had a rustic feel. The waitstaff was quite knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The speed of service was adequate and my water glass never went below half full.

Everyone in my party of 5, enjoyed their meals and desired to go back soon. It seems as if we are a little late in finding out just how delicious CODA's food is because I noticed state dignitaries dining there as we walked out. Check CODA out, if you're ever looking for a refreshing take on some classics like pulled pork sandwich and meaty crab cakes (not too "bready").  Plus, they have other very interesting fare that will tantalize those taste buds. I'll be going back there soon because I must try the Fish Tacos for lunch and the Thai Curry Duck with quinoa for dinner!
