Laura Lee's is an updated take on the American fern bar on Semmes Avenue in Southside Richmond. Our space is comfortable and lovely, with living walls, padded chairs and semi-circular booths, a classic mirrored bar, and a backyard garden patio. A native of Danville, Virginia, Elby's Rising Star nominee Chef Scott Lewis worked at Six Burner, The Roosevelt, and Southbound before becoming head chef at Laura Lee's in 2016.
Ben Nelson is the talent behind Laura Lee's cocktails and the master of the frozen drink machine. Kendra Feather owns 2 other restaurants in Richmond, Virginia. Feather opened Garnett's Cafe in 2009 and The Roosevelt in 2011. She was named Restaurateur of the Year by Richmond Magazine in 2013, and featured in The Virginia Table in 2015.

We offer a mix of outdoor seating and indoor tables at the front of the dining room. Our online reservations system does not differentiate between the two - we will do our best to offer your preferred table at arrival, but there are no guarantees. If you would like to specifically reserve either an indoor table or an outdoor table (weather permitting), please add this in the "notes" field when making the reservation, or call to let us know.

Another walnut-infused beauty is the Nocino Nuts and Berries at Laura Lee's. Developed by restaurant manager Ben Nelson, it replaces the Frangelico traditionally found in the classic Nuts and Berries with Nocino from Don Ciccio & Figli, a family-run operation out of the D.C. area that specializes in Italian-style liqueurs, amari and digestifs.
