“Awesome music snd friendly people. A relaxing evening out“

“Had a wonderful dinner here last week. Miranda waited on us and was extremely personable and helped some of us with menu options. I had the veal parmigiana and was cooked to perfection. Miranda was very attentive to our party and made the whole dinner experience perfect. Will definitely be back and recommend anyone looking for a great Italian meal and service.“

“The place is a gem. Great wine from interesting regions. I have been going since it opened and I know wine and it’s a great place to meet folks and sit and chat. The small plates of food are excellent and the staff knows wine. I go twice a week.“

“Wow, this place is amazing!! The achetectual detail is awesome. The restaurant is so pretty. Great indoor space main floor and second floor. Small outdoor space, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Esteban was great. Explained the menu during happy hour, which was 4pm-6pm. The food is amazing! The drinks are very tasty. Very nice wine list. Will definitely be back.“

“If you are looking for good food and good people this is where you wanna be. Grown and Sexy Vibe. The staff are the best!“

“We came upon this hidden gem when visiting Chelsea Bakehouse last week. We passed by this quaint house with a lovely garden and noticed people sitting out in the garden. Out front there was a sign about wine tasting and Turkish Breakfast on sat and sun mornings…we were intrigued. So we planned to go the following Saturday. Walked in and there was a beautifully decorated “in house”dining area. Very intimate. We opted to sit in the garden since the weather was perfect. Jason who was our server (come to find out part owner as well) was so welcoming and friendly. He chatted about the menu as well as the house and gardens. It was like talking with an old friend. The first course of three came out. It’s only $25 per person and you can order extras from course 1 and 2. My whole party eats a plant based diet so we were delighted that all the dishes are vegetarian. Everything was delicious! We wanted to dig in right away and forgot to take pictures. The atmosphere was so chill, like you were having breakfast at a friend’s house. We cannot wait to go back and try dinner!“

“Had the chance to swing by and try this place. My mind was blown by the quality of food, the atmosphere and the friendly staff! The food was very well crafted and was perfect! The tarte to say the least was mouth watering, the trout was delectable, and the shrimp was mind blowing. Will definitely frequent here!“

“It had been about two or three years since I had last eaten at this restaurant and a childhood friend had suggested it because of our both rather extremely large appetites and their large portions.

There were a few suggestions he recommended: Seafood Trilogy (which he ordered), and The Meatloaf. I saw a couple menu items that I liked on top of those: The Salmon and Shrimp Grits, and the Portabella Pasta and the option to add grilled Chicken and Andouille Sausage (which I did) and for $24 it was worth every penny. The dish was exquisite and it came with two pieces of bread.“

“Can I just say, I took VC’s side-by-side Rhône class last week and it’s still in my head. It was phenomenal and thought provoking - not to mention just fun as hell. Highly recommend anyone - newcomers and wine-os - to visit and take a class or two. Or ten. 😂❤️“

“Great food, great drinks, great service; have never had a bad experience at HSP. Even when the restaurant is full you can tell they do their best to make sure every guest has a great experience. They also have sweet shirts!“

“I recently hosted a professional networking event at The Ghent and had a fantastic experience. Coordinating with the team was easy and professional from start to finish. My attendees really enjoyed the venue—it struck the perfect balance between a relaxed atmosphere and a polished setting for meaningful conversations.

Our servers, Taylor and Caroline, were wonderful. They frequently checked in to see if we needed anything, were incredibly kind, and handled everything with great etiquette and care.

I would absolutely recommend The Ghent for professional gatherings or social events, and I fully intend to continue coming back.“

“Amazing Food. A bit warm inside but atmosphere excellent“

“We just hosted our event here and everything about this space was perfect! The staff are absolutely fabulous and they are the best place to be!“

“Wonderful evening at The Green Onion! The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the prime rib, and it was cooked to perfection. The staff was courteous and extremely attentive. Highly recommend this great Ghent restaurant!“

“For a mid level hotel I was blown away by the quality of fare AND the service. I see many mentions of poor service but it was not my experience. I will be returning again so I’ll have at least another visit to update if we find a different vibe. The Shrimp and grits with chorizo, peppers and insanely delicious cornbread was amazing! It is a hotel lobby bar with maybe 10 tables so atmosphere was not a priority, but was fine.“

“Everything was perfect. We had made a reservation for 5. Three of us arrived very early so had a cocktail at the bar which we enjoyed. We were seated on time when our party arrived. The restaurant was set up nicely. Every person we interacted with was kind and attentive. They asked if we were there for a show prior to taking our order, which was appreciated as they were making sure to serve the food on time. Our party ordered salmon, mushroom pasta, the crab cake appetizer, and the crab bisque. All food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The crab bisque was a favorite at the table and we all stated that bisque alone would warrant another visit! The presentation of the food was excellent as well. Our table ended with a crème Brûlée which was devoured and espresso martini's which were wonderful. Overall, I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this experience from the service, it the food, to the ambience. Perfection. We will visit this location again.“

“TERRIBLE- WOULD NOT RECOMMEND we had a dinner party for our group tonight at 6..we had a set menu and our main course did not even arrive until almost 9:30 pm. Waiter mentioned how under staffed they were but that didn't make up for the horrible taste in food and when it did arrive how cold it was. Manager did nothing and we literally did not leave till 10. This on top of the horribly small portions we all had to share with appetizers (between a party of 14) and our actual entree sizes. Would not recommend at all.“

“I just visited Brothers Norfolk and let me tell you — this place is THE BOMB DOT COM! I ordered the calamari and snuck a bite of the kids’ chicken tenders, and everything was absolutely delicious. No exaggeration — it’s the best calamari I’ve ever had. If you’re anywhere near the Norfolk area (and honestly, even if you’re not), this spot is worth the drive. The interior is classy, the vibe is elevated, and the space is beautifully styled. And don’t even get me started on the live shows and event calendar — OFF. THE. CHAIN. This is just the beginning of what Brothers is bringing to the area, and I’m so here for it. Thank you for a true fine dining experience with flavor, style, and soul. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this amazing spot!“
