My apologies. After all the great recommendations you've given us in Richmond (which is usually a stop going and coming on our Florida drives from NYC), I just realized that I never posted on eG about my 2017 dinner at Zynodoa. Well, here it is, copied from the post I did make on donrockwell.com. Better late than never (& not so helpful, huh?):
Staunton
Went to Zynodoa several nights ago, as our last stop before home from Florida was Staunton, Va. We loved the town, we loved the restaurant. Lots of food, all made very well with mostly local ingredients & high skill. We were going to order the app. of cornbread w/grape jelly while we were at the bar drinking (a very good local Reisling) but the couple next to us got one and it was huge and would've destroyed any chance of eating a large dinner. When seated (in a front booth, not the back tables), we had a great waiter and ate too much. I had fried catfish bites with thin onion rings that was excellent. My wife had the pork belly app (yep, an app.) which was large enough that I had to help and was glad to do so - excellent). My dinner entree was blackened catfish (I didn't feel at all silly ordering catfish and catfish - no, not at all) & this was very nice. She had beef tips which, again, could not be finished, this time even with my help. A sweet corn dessert was great and we didn't eat again till Brooklyn. Highly recommended.
Glad you had a nice trip.
