Normally closed on Monday’s, L’Opossum restaurant will be open on Monday, 10/31, Halloween!

Try ’em!

Already mentioned that Nisa Thai restaurant is open now, but wanted to thank them for advertising with Oregon Hill.net. Besides supplying some rockin’ pho and a VERY diverse menu, its great that they want to be part of the neighborhood and give this community news site support.

Their ad is click-through to an online food ordering app that makes it easy to get delivery. Be patient though, I understand their delivery business is extremely busy right now. The first time you order using the app, you get 10% off your order.

Nisa Thai finally opened last night on S. Belvidere Street and is ready to take your order. I think this is the first Asian food restaurant in what is technically part of Oregon Hill.

Belle Island Moonshine’s blog had a post recently highlighting one of L’Opossum’s bartenders…

Boasting a menu and cocktail program as unconventional and incongruous as the decor you’ll find around L’opossum, the Oregon Hill restaurant and bar has redefined the Richmond dining experience in a vivacious manner that only renown owner and chef David Shannon can manage. We were lucky enough to sit down with William Seidensticker, bartender at L’opossum, to chat about all things served eclectic and delicious.

Tell us about yourself…

I’ve been in the industry for 22 years. As long as I have been in the industry, one of the most common questions I get is if I am a mixologist. I still don’t know the difference between a mixologist and a bartender. At the end of the day, I consider myself a bartender and I’m proud of what I do. I am proud of the product that I produce and the people I work with.
