I’ve eaten here now 5 times. Gone for an evening date, family gathering of 8, and a regular dinner for 4 out and about in town. They can accommodate anything. The food is excellent, creative and unique. Staff is nice and helpful, and hardworking. This is a staple for me. Parking on the street hasn’t been a problem but also garages are available or uber if you are enjoying the neat drink menu.
Service was terrible, food was mediocre, at best. The fact that they automatically add a 20% tip no matter how small your party is is just wrong. Our waitress was MIA most of the time we were there and hardly deserved the “mandatory tip” we were forced to pay.
Great food. Interesting cocktails.

Codex is a great spot for special occasions or a night out with friends. The monthly brunch on the first Sunday draws a crowd, so arriving early is recommended to secure a spot. The Baklava Focaccia and Corned Beef Hash have received praise, along with the coffee drink, Revolver, which has a smoky flavor. Though some have mentioned that the Espresso Martinis are on the smaller side but packed with flavor, the overall experience is highly regarded. With its focus on real flavors, attention to detail, and welcoming atmosphere, Codex is a must-visit restaurant in Norfolk.
