Swell Charcoal Grill & Raw Bar in Ocean View is a hidden gem in Norfolk. Their high-quality seafood, like the amazing crab cakes and rockfish special, never disappoints. The seafood gumbo and trio seafood dish were excellent choices. The seafood options are consistently praised, and the Wahoo is perfectly seasoned and cooked. The ribs are cooked to perfection, boasting tenderness and flavor, and the steak is also remarkably prepared and very tender, showing culinary skill. The friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere make it a great spot to enjoy upscale food. The menu is inventive and offers a variety of creative cocktails. The owner and staff are attentive and kind, making guests feel well taken care of. The pretzels and crab dip are must-tries, and dishes like Lobster Mac and cheese are favorites. Overall, it’s a place with delicious food, a cozy environment, and a loyal local following.
