“Love having a place to go for a glass of wine..good food .n get together with friends. Staff is friendly..knowledgeable but wish they would have specials or prices I could feel comfortable with....I would come back more often. Just so you know $20 tastings....$16 one person cheese board...$14 for a tapas size strawberry feta salad...$15 glass of wine or pay $35 for the bottle..over $75 with tip for one person....yes they do have memberships but it didn't impress me to want to sign up..lowest: $100 per 2 person household...24 bottle minimum purchase..15% off bottle purchase..$10 for 2 person tasting (2-4 per month).. I'd go back but not that often.“
“Blanca is consistently amazing. We started with the fritto misto and omg! Its light and delicious and gluten free! You’d never know it.I had the shrimp risotto and it was simply perfection. I took my dad and he said it was the best shrimp he’s ever had. A delightful experience. Courtney continues to create a wonderful menu. Stefan was attentive and friendly. What a gem to have in the neighborhood!!“
“Stumbled upon this amazing wine store while in downtown Norfolk. It's so cute inside and they have lots of great wines for great prices. We stopped in on a Sunday and they have wine tastings for $5 dollars! I believe they have these every Friday through Sunday. They also do wine tasting events upstairs. The girl doing the wine tasting was so informative and amazing at talking about the wines. I will definitely come back while I'm in town!!“
“Went to "Cocktails and Candle Making" event here. Absolutely lovely place. We had the opportunity to choose our fragrance out of many scents for our candles. The candles turned out fragrant and very pretty. Meanwhile, there were cocktails, fun and stimulating conversation, with live music. Unfortunately, at this time there are no food sells, but it's a great place for your book club to meet up, to hang out for cocktails, music, finding your favorite scent, and socializing.“
“If I told you I can still taste my dinner there after two week, you wouldn’t believe me. It has to be one of the best meals I have ever had. The creativity of the chef and the flavors is beyond words. First place I am going when I go back.“

“We recently held a professional, but informal, event on their rooftop for about 25-30 people. The owners I spoke with (Jason and Wayne) were communicative, gracious, and incredibly willing to meet our needs. The day of the event the food came out perfect and timely, the staff was attentive and courteous, and the folks at our event unanimously agreed it was a good time. We had the brisket tacos (huge hit), various styles of chicken tenders (75 tendies total), and six pizzas. Affordable, fun, and a large selection of self-pour beer as well. 5/5 stars and bookmarking this place for future events!“
“The wine and dessert is really good. I love that it’s a vegetarian place. I just wish that the portion sizes were bigger for food. I feel like it’s more of a tapas place. The atmosphere is beautiful!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarianDietary restrictions: Waiter asked if we had any dietary restrictions“
“This is my favorite place to eat. I love the food and service. Wait times can be long but it's so worth it. I recommend the ribs and cornbread.Vegetarian options: You can order a veggie plateParking: It's congestedKid-friendliness: They are so welcoming to the children“
“What an amazing place to enjoy some hard to find detroit style pizza.The cheese gets all crunchy around the edges. The bottom has its own texture that can hardly be described as other than awesome.Grant beers on tap, The two bartenders were wonderful, Kind, very attentive.“
“What a wonderful and delightful experience. Came here for Happy Hour for my birthday and was not disappointed. The flavors of everything we ate made my eyes roll into the back of my head. Absolutely delicious. Drink options for everyone and the wine list is impeccable. I will definitely be coming back again.“

“I have been there several times and each time the service is very good. The entertainment is excellent the DJ plays what the crowd wants to hear. And the owner always walks around and make are his employees are working and his customers are satisfied.“
“We went 4pm the weekend before Valentine’s Day the drink prices were great the food was worth the money and our server Erica made everything even better it was amazing the food is literally perfect it was such a romantic anniversary dinner 10/10“
“We enjoyed our dinner before attending a show at Chrysler Hall. The restaurant was very busy with show-goers, and service was a bit slow. Our food tasted delicious, but the mashed potatoes, risotto, and carrots were luke-warm at best. If we'd had more time, we would have sent them back to be heated up. There was no time for dessert, sadly. Our server was very pleasant and the ambiance was great. We will return.“
“Was looking for a local business to support while not sacrificing quality. Julie and her team exceeded my expectations. We ordered a small board to brighten the day of someone close to us who was recovering from a major surgery. The board was delivered the same day ordered and earlier than expected! Can’t wait to support your business again! No wonder the Western Branch community recommends Branches Tasting Room so often!“
