In June 1998, the neighborhoods growing around Short Pump welcomed a newcomer to Richmond's fine dining restaurants. Following a few month's of construction, Patina Grill opened in the Shops at Wellesley, celebrating with music from Bio Ritmo, food from the new kitchen, and air conditioning a far-away dream.

The remodeling was done by some of our area's finest craftspeople, carrying out the design of Brian Munford and Sosie Hublitz. The scagiola wall and the stucco finish around the restaurant were done by Jon Lofgren. All the copper was fitted and installed by Jimmy Bartlowe of Fineline Roofing in Charlottesville, and the walnut finished and fitted by R.D. Higgs, who you're more likely to find building boats than bars. The lighting installation and electrical work were done by Don Merwin, as were several improvements we've made since opening. Gayle MacGehee, Tom Brickman, and Matt Lewis were all instumental in multiple areas of the retrofit.

Patina Grill's goal is to provide the West End with a restaurant dedicated to innovative, tasteful cuisine; well-prepared, and of the finest quality. We also take pride in our professional service staff, and creative bar. And we hope this site provides our guests a simple way to tell us about their experiences or suggestions. Thanks for coming!
