Very impressed by the quality of food and quantity. Typically portion sizes for me in America are way too big and I can’t finish them here. The portions were just right and I was able to try all appetizers and entries I want. The food itself had lots of thought and care put into it. Not only did a taste amazing you could tell it was high quality as well. For 4 appetizers, 2 entries and 2 desserts, We payed 140$. which is reasonable for the amount we ordered (including a daily special). Location was also cute and we were able to walk to the water afterwards. would highly recommend this place especially the duck tacos!!!!

Came here for my engagement brunch, it was so lovely! Such a romantic space with great service, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Locally owned by a norfolk family, we are looking forward to trying out their dinner. Thanks Omar and team, you guys made the day special!

10/10 for Omar & the wonderful chef & Marilyn! In town for work with my Morroccan coworker and he was delighted to find the taste of home in Norfolk, VA of all places.
I found it equally delightful to eat and enjoy their patio.
Go for Moroccan Monday and get the sampler, the lamb tagine, and bastilla. Finish off with any of Marilyn's desserts and taste the love in them!
They also offer mocktails, which is always appreciated.
The wait staff was lovely and we couldn't have asked for a better meal and experience.

Jon was fantastic—he crafted a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned and also made a refreshing berry mojito mocktail that really hit the spot.
I visited during Restaurant Week and was genuinely impressed by the experience.
To start, I sampled the shrimp sriracha dish. While it only came with three shrimp, the flavor was excellent and the fresh watermelon added a nice touch. I also tried the fried green tomatoes, which were beautifully paired with a well-executed balsamic reduction and crisp arugula.
For the main courses, the chili crisp shrimp noodles stood out with a satisfying level of spice—not overwhelming, but enough to make an impression. The hanger steak and frites were cooked well and full of flavor. As for dessert, the key lime pie was light, fresh, and elegantly plated—but the real standout was the strawberry shortcake, which stole the show.
Overall, a delightful experience with thoughtful flavors and great service.

Cozy little place to grab food and drinks. It’s kind of closed off to one room I believe so conversations are a little loud and carried. There is a decently sized outside area.
Fantastic bartender Morgan, is sweet knowledgeable and overall amazing. Menu looks beautiful and restaurant ambiance and decor is rustic and lovely. Owner is onsite to make sure everything is to par. My concerns include hard salty butter for the table bread, butter does not need to be cooled. Secondly the octopus is soggy, it should be charred and carefully placed upon the accoutrements. Otherwise great drinks and menu cant wait to be back!

I cannot recommend this place enough, the food was delicious. The outdoor seating was comfortable and the service was outstanding. The only thing that I can tell you is that this is not handicap friendly. The ramp to get into the building is nice, but the ramp from the street up to the sidewalk is cobblestone. The ladies bathroom, while it has a ramp to go into, it. Has a step into the commode. Which is not accessible for handicapped people. But otherwise I give this place a 10 out of 10
