Being a huge calamari fan myself, I can assure you that the best I've had so far in the city of Richmond was at Capital Ale House. If you're ever in my city, go there! You won't be disappointed.

Thank you! There was an excellent place in Richmond where I had calamari, but I couldn't recall the name. I'm sure there's more than one reputable place down there, but this will be another great place to try once Rob settles himself in August.

hey - if you haven't tried it yet, i would totally try the salt and pepper calamari at carlyle. it takes calamari to a whole new level. (p.f. changs also has tasty stuff, but so far nowhere i've tried (under four stars, at least) can hold a candle to carlyle).
