“Great place with good food and good service! Very unique fare. Highly recommend it. Upscale bar also.“

“Went here last Sunday for first time and again this Sunday. If ur looking for classic sports bar atmosphere with football food/drink specials, this is it. Big place, good sized bar. It’s all about sports there - everyone wearing a jersey, tvs everywhere. Great specials like $15 domestic buckets of beer, even better food specials. My husband and I get a bucket of beer and like two big food specials and our tab is like $40. Everyone has great attitude. If ur looking for quiet spot, don’t go here. Lots of cheering and laughing. I wanna go here every Sunday. Great service as well.“

“I've had great service every time I've been, amd THE FOOD. Oh my goodness, the food. Wings are SO SO SO good. Quite possibly the best wings I've ever had, anywhere. And even though the prices are low on their apps, the portions are normal sized and the apps themselves are VERY tasty. Really can't recommend this spot strongly enough.“

“We could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter’s wedding at Vista Point! Mara’s expertise was instrumental in bringing about a perfect weekend from the rehearsal to wedding to reception. The guests are still talking about the exceptional food and service provided by banquet manager Terri and team. And the bartenders developed and served signature drinks that were outstanding. When you combine incredible water views with some of the best people in the hospitality industry, you get the wedding of your daughter’s dreams!“

“Went there on Saturday afternoon and the service from the bartender could not have been better! He was so nice and accommodating and made some great recommendations. Will definitely go back!“

“great welcoming place. good food for a bar! friendly and attentive staff. nice atmosphere.“

“After a show at the Naro Theater we walked over to the No Frill Bar and Grill for a late lunch. Four in our party, we had the Famous Meatloaf platter, Teriyaki Tuna pita, French dip, and Funky Chicken sandwich. The food is truly exceptional, everyone raved about their choice. My wife said the house made mushroom soup was the best she ever had. I also had a 'martini' with gin, lemon, St. Germaine, and topped with Sauvignon Blanc. To DIE For! This will be a go-to for us from now on!“

“The food at Swell is the best restaurant food I have had in a long time. It was so good that we went back the following night. Rob is always a gracious host, and the waitresses were very nice, polite and make you feel welcome. Great experience!“

“5 star food, service, and vibe. crab sakes were delicious!“

“06/10/05I had a blast at this bar. Go during a car race. They give drinks for crashes. I asked for a menu in this place, they gave me a pizza shop that would drop off. The balls on these people.So much fun. Be respectful and you will have fun.“

“We had such a great experience getting married at The Harbor Club! Just about everything about the planning experience and the day of was perfect as far as the venue and food was concerned.
Communication with the venue via Jenn, the venue coordinator was quick and professional. She was able to answer all of our questions before we booked, and was very informative when we did a tour. Communicating throughout the planning process after we had booked was the same. Jenn also served as our day of coordinator for the other vendors, kept our timeline on track throughout the day. Everything ran smoothly!
The venue itself was lovely, the perfect size for our wedding. Easy access to the restrooms, and the whole venue is handicap accessible. The view of the Elizabeth River is gorgeous, and all of our guests loved the balcony where we had our cocktail hour.
Several guests complimented the appetizers that were passed, as well as the food we had for dinner. The service and bar staff were top notch, very professional and good at what they did.
We had a perfect wedding day, and the Harbor Club and all of the wonderful staff and hard work that was put in was a large part of what made the day so amazing.“

“My wife and I went to this levels location for the first time this weekend this place is way bigger than the Chesapeake location. The lay out is dope we went during happy hour which was good the drinks were $7 and the hookah was $15 the music was good will be returning I want to try the wings!“

“Just left here. Showed up at around 6:30 with no reservation on a Friday. Had to wait a few to get seat at bar but no problem. So glad I waited to experience this place. They have a parking lot which is great. Vibe inside is lively but not overwhelming, upscale but not uppity, with food to rival their drinks. Bartender Joe was so busy but remained attentive and pleasant. Ordered the fried shrimp app, nachos and ahi tuna tacos. Usually I order ahi tacos at a place and get 2 tiny things. I got 4 which was super shocking. I spent $130 AFTER tip but I ain’t mad it was worth it. Drinks weren’t watery and weak, service was great, vibe was great with a good mix of people and food was well worth the money. Highly reccomend. Also their happy hour is also on Fridays which is unusual.“

“Zen is an oasis for eclectic artists and outrageous performers. It's where you go to step out of the insanity of the outside world to enjoy the loving embrace of inclusive joy and companionship. The bar staff is kind and attentive. The food is tasty as hell. I really could never say enough great things about Zen. Whether you're a performer or a patron, 37th and Zen is a welcoming haven.“

“I have been coming here for a long time. You can tell the clientele and workers are authentic Mexicans or Hispanics that enjoy real Hispanic food. I usually get my food to go, but today I decided to eat in the restaurant. I always get the tacos Carne Asada because it is the best Carne Asada I’ve ever had and all of hampton roads and I love Mexican food so I’ve eaten out pretty much every my same place that I can think of. A regular customer even suggested a dish that is similar to empanadas, but even better the pastry they used was flaky and crispy. Their Carne Asada is always flavor just right and very tender that you can just bite right through it and it’s melting your mouth. Their tortillas in their chips are also homemade, and you can tell them. I feel like this place was under the radar for a very long time, but you have to check this out as soon as you can!“

“Amazing venue! We hosted our annual award ceremony for Iron Valley Real Estate and they truly did a fantastic job with the decor in our Fire and Ice theme and the staff were all super friendly and helpful!“
