“Stumbled upon this amazing wine store while in downtown Norfolk. It's so cute inside and they have lots of great wines for great prices. We stopped in on a Sunday and they have wine tastings for $5 dollars! I believe they have these every Friday through Sunday. They also do wine tasting events upstairs. The girl doing the wine tasting was so informative and amazing at talking about the wines. I will definitely come back while I'm in town!!“
“Wonderful restaurant! Wish this was in my neighborhood. I would become a regular. Best Saltimbocca I have had in the US! Everything was lovely and well prepared and we had an excellent wine we were unfamiliar with and loved it. Make a reservation - not many tables inside. It’s great!! Thank you “

“The food Hits!!! Mushroom pizza was my favorite of all that came to the table. The Street corn dip was good but IMO on the sweeter side vs the salty cojita/ spice side I'd expect from a dish like that. The self pour is an awesome feature!! You don't get locked into a pint of anything, get to try all the things❤️ Rooftop has heaters. Will be back for more of the environment and to try more things on the menu.Parking: Parking lot in back is shared with whole plaza. There is also street parking.“
“Visited Grandiflora on Thursday April 4th with my husband and son who lives in Norfolk. What a wonderful experience. Atmosphere was very warm and welcoming, loved the decor. Food was delicious. I have no real experience with natural wines but Kate was amazing! Upon arrival, she explained that she was the only FOH employee and asked if we could sit in the living room instead of the lounge, where I had made a reservation for. Of course we had no problem doing so, it was the first visit for all of us and I honestly just picked the lounge because I didn't know anything about the space. She was so enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge of the wines it was contagious! Kate picked both wines I tried and they did not disappoint! She worked that room, multiple tables seated, with the same enthusiasm she shared with us, spending quality time with each guest. Truly great at what she does! We will most certainly be back on our next visit.“

“What a wonderful and delightful experience. Came here for Happy Hour for my birthday and was not disappointed. The flavors of everything we ate made my eyes roll into the back of my head. Absolutely delicious. Drink options for everyone and the wine list is impeccable. I will definitely be coming back again.“
“You need to check this place out! The food was delicious! I highly recommend the Lobster and Crab soup. Deo’s Lavender Martini is a must…the best I’ve ever had. Our bartender, Hunter, was very attentive and gave great recommendations on what to eat. We can’t wait to come back!“
“We enjoyed our dinner before attending a show at Chrysler Hall. The restaurant was very busy with show-goers, and service was a bit slow. Our food tasted delicious, but the mashed potatoes, risotto, and carrots were luke-warm at best. If we'd had more time, we would have sent them back to be heated up. There was no time for dessert, sadly. Our server was very pleasant and the ambiance was great. We will return.“
“Went to "Cocktails and Candle Making" event here. Absolutely lovely place. We had the opportunity to choose our fragrance out of many scents for our candles. The candles turned out fragrant and very pretty. Meanwhile, there were cocktails, fun and stimulating conversation, with live music. Unfortunately, at this time there are no food sells, but it's a great place for your book club to meet up, to hang out for cocktails, music, finding your favorite scent, and socializing.“

“What an amazing place to enjoy some hard to find detroit style pizza.The cheese gets all crunchy around the edges. The bottom has its own texture that can hardly be described as other than awesome.Grant beers on tap, The two bartenders were wonderful, Kind, very attentive.“
“The food at Blanca is exceptional! Sitting at the bar you can watch the magic happen- at times there 6 or 7 people working in the kitchen! It’s like a well choreographed dance perfectly executed!!! This is all directed by Brandon like an air traffic controller! It is the only restaurant we will travel to from the beach!“
