“Arrived with my girl at 4:30 pm for social hour. Even after social hour, the atmosphere, food and service are 10/10. I had never been here. A host opened the door for us as we arrived and the lovely hostesses led us to our seats. The vibe is upscale; the atmosphere is moody and dark. The service - being knowledgeable about the menu, removing things that u don’t need, refilling of water and overall frendliness and welcoming attitude is 10/10. Food we had: lamb lollipops (the best), blue crab Rangoon egg roll, jerk ahi tuna and waygu sliders. All were 10/10 except the jerk tuna I give 8/10. Possible personal preference. I found it ultra rare (I’m used to rare tuna) but didn’t really taste the jerk flavor. Ordered a French 75 with vodka and an old fashioned both were great. Our bill for two people, four amazing cocktails and four apps was $99. I am very please. Would have happily paid more. Will be visiting again and highly recommend.”

To Delvin (who had no record of this and took so long to finally say he would include With my next delivery order that I did not receive it. Late august spoke to manager “calling me mommy” and said she would replace. Never happened. Finally after 4 managers (3 months) I spoke to Isaiah manager in September who actually listened and finally delivered the quarter pounder I was missing since June. He also included a free apple pie for my troubles that I was not expecting. ISAIAH. THANK YOU!”

I don’t particularly care for McDonalds food, but my kids do and they love this particular establishments play place. Always other kids to play with as well. Great rainy day spot, and you can actually kinda relax hahaha!”

“My husband and I dined here for the first time a few days ago. We love trying new sushi restaurants and very glad we did! We ordered the romantic date roll, godzilla roll and I believe the angel roll. The waitress asked if we wanted everything on one plate to share and answered yes. So it was strange that they all came out separately, at different times. We waited a bit for the godzilla roll, so that is why I knocked off a star. Timing could definitely be better but the rolls themselves were delicious. We couldn't finish all rolls and the godzilla, being a fried roll, heated in the air fryer next day beautifully. We will return!”

“I came here at the recommendation of a Japanese Yoga Instructor who was working in Virginia Beach, and it was amazing! I went by myself, sat at the bar comfortably in peace. I had the Hiro Roll, the New York Roll, the Chanwanmushi, and got I believe Tendon to go, as well as a creme Brule. I could have eaten here every day. The sushi chef is from Nagoya, and very kind. I lived in Japan for 4 years, and this took me right back. Prices also match that! Nothing was ridiculously priced, I just ordered a lot. Hiro Roll was my favorite. Ah, and all with a glass of cold plum wine on a summer day. In total it was around $70, but that was my rolls, with an alcoholic drink, and another meal to go with dessert... Thank you to the entire staff for making such delicious food and keeping such a peaceful atmosphere.”

“I am writing to address an issue I had with a recent order at the Portsmouth location in Chesapeake Square Mall. The problem I encountered with a recent order for the Chicken and Shrimp Chipotle Pasta for myself and my sister. When we opened the order at home, we found that the dish only contained chicken and no shrimp. I called the store, and the manager instructed me to return the order for a replacement, which I did. However, upon receiving the remake, we found that it was only half the portion size of the original meal—essentially, the chef appeared to have split one full dish into two smaller portions, rather than properly preparing two separate orders. As a loyal customer, I have never experienced service like this before, and the entire situation was very frustrating. Not only did I have to return to the store twice, but the second attempt still did not resolve the issue. I called the store again, and at that point, the manager, Brooke, asked if I had taken pictures of the order. I did, and I am happy to share those images with you as an attachment. The total cost of the meal was $40.28, and I feel that the value and quality of the service did not meet my expectations. I am hoping for a prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response.”

“This place was amazing from the moment we walked in until we checked out and left! The staff was so friendly and on top of things, the food was literally so flavorful and cooked perfectly and I can be picky at times! I had the Salmon and hubby had the Ahi Tuna and for appetizers we had the fried shrimp with sweet tai chili sauce and a bowl of She crab soup. We will absolutely be back again. We even made it a point to ask to speak to the manager so that we could actually let him know what an amazing job everybody was doing. I highly recommend this place.”

“Went for Sunday brunch, and the food was absolutely amazing! First off, the decor here is so pretty, it really gives the place a great vibe. The brunch is a buffet, and trust me, they have something for everyone. I like the fact that there is actually a person that serves you, so there aren't tons of people touching the utensils and reaching all over the food. Whoever they have cooking knows how to throw down!! Everything I had was seasoned to perfection. We had a large party, and between all of us, we had everything on the buffet. There was not one complaint. The price is very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I will definitely be back!”

“Rhiannon is an amazing bartender! Invititing, welcoming, and great conversation. Unfortunately, our burgers both came out overdone. Rhianna noticed, apologized, and had the manager come speak with us. Both were apologetic and asked if we wanted a new meal. It was late, we were done, so he comped the meal. Realistically, we would have rather had the burgers cooked correctly, but mistakes happened. They owned up to it and made it right. Thank you both! The service recovery was amazing!”

“If you haven't been to the Amber Lantern, YOU NEED TO 😍 This hidden gem is like the best kept secret. It's off the beaten path, so you wouldn't know you're even passing it, but frankly, I think that's what I like the most about it. I took hubby out for his birthday, and we had such a quiet and peaceful dinner overlooking the water. Our bill at the end of the night was surprisingly lower than we expected, and we ate many high end meal options. I'd actually go as far to say that I prefer this place over Butcher's Son. Our server, Kristi, went above and beyond and was incredibly genuine and down to earth. The menu provided a great selection that gave many options but wasn't overwhelming. The wine was out of this world! For appetizers we had scallops and fried oysters. I've eaten many oysters in my day, but I've never had ones like this. Lightly fried on the outside with that perfect crunch while the oyster itself was still very juicy! The scallops were perfectly seasoned. My husband had the special of beef tips while I had lobster tortellini. The beef tips didn't even require a knife, just melted right in the mouth. My lobster tortellini was out of this world. We ended with a dessert of tiramisu, homemade raspberry whipped cream, and Carmel sauce. WOW! It was light and moist but not drenched in liquid. We went around 6 and there were only a few couples, but by 8, it was booming! Many regulars from what I could tell. My husband commented that we are definitely coming back, and bringing others with us 😍. It'll now be our go-to for birthdays, anniversaries, and visits from family 😍”

We ended with a dessert of tiramisu, homemade raspberry whipped cream, and Carmel sauce. WOW! It was light and moist but not drenched in liquid. We went around 6 and there were only a few couples, but by 8, it was booming! Many regulars from what I could tell. My husband commented that we are definitely coming back, and bringing others with us 😍. It'll now be our go-to for birthdays, anniversaries, and visits from family 😍”

“Ate in a group of 8 for lunch and they gave us a pretty much private dining room area with this utterly beautiful chandelier. When I saw the chandelier, I could not take my eyes off of it. I ordered half lemonade half iced tea iced tea pretty good but tasted a little like horse interestingly. For food I got the 6 oz sirloin that came with a side of fettuccini or something. For appetizers we got calamari and fried mozzarella. The calamari was pretty good but the fried mozzarella was too cheesy and I wasn’t a fan. I ordered the steak medium and it was a little overcooked but overall pretty juicy and great flavors and seasoning plus a pretty good crust. Not a bad steak for an Olive Garden I’ll say. I was too scared to eat the fettuccini so I’ll never know how that tasted. Overall Olive Garden seems good but not the place for me.”

“I was very disappointed!! Steak was full of gristle, and for $40 well not worth it. The small piece I was able to eat was well seasoned and cooked ok, a little underdone for a medium piece of meat. The baked potato was cold and the asparagus soggy and limp! What a meal, the server did offer to cook another steak, but since I was with a large crowd did not want to be eating my meal when everyone was ready to leave, I declined and asked for an adjustment to my check, they gave me a $20 adjustment, wow!! I ordered a cup of she crab soup, which was tasty, $8. And, I had a coke. Ended up spending $50 since gratuity was added. As a way of compensation I was brought a banana pudding that the bananas were rotten in. On the positive side, my service was very attentive and friendly, so I did leave an addition to my already charged for gratuity. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. On the down side, there is no seating for folks that are waiting to be seated. We were told we could go to our cars and be texted when our table was ready, or wait at the bar which had insufficient seating. Our table had been reserved over a month ago, but still had to wait to be seated since "our" table was currently occupied and they were waiting for them to leave, so 11 of us were all huddled up by the front door, with no seating. Going back to the cars was unacceptable, if you've ever seen that parking lot at dinner time you know why. I was very disappointed that I brought 10 other people and was under compensated. My husband asked when I got home how were things, I just said, never again. Now, in all fairness, this was not my first visit. My other visit was for Sunday brunch, equally unimpressed. Oh, and as an added note, the prices that were reflected on the menu were all ignored and we were charged more, without being told. I'm sorry this review is so unflattering, but I'm compelled to tell the truth especially when fine dining. It's all such a shame. I was embarrassed that I was responsible for bringing a large crowd, since I saw several things left on plates. What a shame. The stars do not reflect my review, site would not allow me to change number of stars, I’d say 2 stars.”

“Somehow we have managed to have the same server the last couple of times we have been & she remembers us and all the things we like! Food is phenomenally good & prices are reasonable. Vinos is becoming one of our favorite places. Thank you for the hospitality. Can’t wait until our next visit.”

“I was in a hurry and ordered curbside pickup, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with this establishment!
I have Celiac disease, so cross-contamination is a serious safety concern for me. I specifically explained my gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease, and they were very caring and understanding. They were honest that they couldn’t guarantee there would be no cross-contamination, but they did everything they could to minimize the risk and prepare my order safely. That honesty and effort meant so much to me.
My order was ready on time, and the service was top-notch. It’s not every day you find a restaurant that takes food safety concerns seriously and treats you with such care. I truly appreciate this establishment and will definitely be back. Love this place!”

“We came here on a Saturday for a birthday dinner with 12 people and made a reservation. It was surprisingly not very busy. There is a small bar by the door where you can order drinks while you wait around if you do end up waiting but we were seated and our orders were all taken. Everything comes with a little miss soup and salad before the cook comes out. The cook will come out with everyone's food at the same time to cook in front of you and make a few jokes and show off his skills. Everything was tasty and it went by in a timely fashion.”

“My husband and I frequent this location anytime for a date moment. Their food and service never fails. Always consistent. We spend a lot of time at the bar proper. All the bartenders are friendly, and engaging. Being in the hospitality industry it is refreshing to have your go to spot that you always feel special and not just a tab. Mel the manager has a great team and that is a reflection of her professionalism. (This is not a paid advertisement, lol. It’s the truth.)”

A special shout-out to Corey for providing exceptional customer service. He has a great personality, is welcoming, friendly, and made us feel like valued customers from the moment we walked in. Great food paired with outstanding service is always a winning combination. I highly recommend Eddie's Crab House and will definitely be back!”

“My sister and I had lunch at Carrabba's in Chesapeake, VA yesterday. It was a very nice experience from start to finish. I arrived before my sister. I was greeted in a very courteous and friendly manner and seated immediately. Our server Tonya was excellent! She was professional, courteous and attentive. Service was prompt and the food was very good. I had the Johnny Rocco salad, which was fresh and tasty. Tonya took great care of us, and we appreciated the outstanding customer service.

“We have visited Pizza Twist 3 times and never disappointed. We love the unique flavors and toppings. The pizza was baked just right-hot, cheesy, abundant toppings and to our specifications. We don't like hot spices (they toned it down for us) and it was so flavorful without burning our mouths. We will come back.”

“I am writing to address an issue I had with a recent order at the Portsmouth location in Chesapeake Square Mall. The problem I encountered with a recent order for the Chicken and Shrimp Chipotle Pasta for myself and my sister. When we opened the order at home, we found that the dish only contained chicken and no shrimp. I called the store, and the manager instructed me to return the order for a replacement, which I did. However, upon receiving the remake, we found that it was only half the portion size of the original meal—essentially, the chef appeared to have split one full dish into two smaller portions, rather than properly preparing two separate orders. As a loyal customer, I have never experienced service like this before, and the entire situation was very frustrating. Not only did I have to return to the store twice, but the second attempt still did not resolve the issue. I called the store again, and at that point, the manager, Brooke, asked if I had taken pictures of the order. I did, and I am happy to share those images with you as an attachment. The total cost of the meal was $40.28, and I feel that the value and quality of the service did not meet my expectations. I am hoping for a prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response.”

They have become quite a commodity amongst the locals so hope they don’t sell out. The best kept secret in Chesapeake, well secret no more. You’ve gotta come try them. You won’t be disappointed.

Ice Cream Shop
“Staff was very nice. Clean quiet vibes. Toffee caramel coffee shake was good! The brownie sundae was too much chocolate for my liking. Too many tiny chocolate chips and not enough vanilla ice cream imo. I feel like I am just eating a whole chocolate bar. A little too sweet for me. But maybe it was just the sundae I wasn’t in love with. I’ll try again with a shake next time. But I have a feeling it also may be just a little too sweet for me.”
