“Get the crispy octopus!!!! It is AMAZING!!!! I have texture food issues so was a little apprehensive but I also try everything because I know it's irrational. It was meaty not bouncy. It was incredible. Oysters were perfect! Honestly, everything we ordered down to the cappuccino with dessert was top tier, fries 10/10. Service: from the Host to the server, just awesome!!! Atmosphere ❤️❤️.“

Once we were seated, even though we didn't have reservations, our experience began. We had appetizers and the amount of food and the presention was out of this world. This is definitely our go to place forever in Norfolk.“

Again, kudos to manager Caroline and her wait staff for a positive and pleasant experience!“

“Discovered this place on yelp while looking for libations in the area… it is perfect! Low-key & casual; Even at its busiest the noise level was pleasant. There is an ample selection of tasty food and even better drinks. The staff was friendly & helpful- addressing every inquiry while choosing a mezcal. They have the best tequila selection I’ve come across so far (many additive free options). I’ve already recommended it to anyone who will listen ? and I will definitely return as well.“

“A very unique take on Ramen dishes for sure. Great selection to try ! The spicy red curry Ramen with Chicken and the Kimchi Ramen with Chicken are two great examples. The flavors are amazing. They have a nice selection of Japanese whiskeys to choose from and Sake too! Full bar, old fashioned was very good as well. Unique desserts too. The service was stellar, they were very busy and still made us feel like we were honored guests and the waitress was super helpful and friendly. The price was great and well below expectations considering the quality of the food and service. Give them a try, tell them I sent you ?“

“This was our first time at the Harbor Club and it was an enjoyable evening. Thank you so much Mr. Dreyfus! I'm so thankful that my husband works for a company that is owned by a man that is an intelligent cutting edge entrepreneur who truly cares for not only the communities he serves, but also the employees who serves them. He treated his employees to a beautiful evening that included two complimentary drink tickets and heavy hors'devours that included Caesar Salad, homemade macaroni and cheese, a prime rib station, homemade cornbread, yeast rolls, dinner rolls, a huge l-shaped vegetable, fruit, and cheese station that was a rainbow of color and just gorgeous, elegant miniature chicken sandwiches which tasted even better than they looked, and a gorgeous desert bar filled with homemade iced sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodle cookies. When it was time to go boxes were provided and everyone was encouraged to take dessert home with them. Mr. Dreyfus made a short speech thanking his employees. He is a humble and eloquent entrepreneur.“

“We came in right after opening on Taco Tuesday! We were greeted by Nick. He is amazing. Nick was positive and upbeat. He acted as our Host, Server, and Bar Tender. He deserves a raise. Our food was fresh and delicious. As was our drinks. The atmosphere of the restaurant was appealing. The only reason why I didn’t leave 5 stars is bc of the restroom. Being as though we came right at opening. The restroom was disgusting. I can only assume that I wasn’t cleaned the night before. However it looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned before ever! So there’s that.“
