“The food was amazing! Our waitress, Alexa, was outstanding. Since we are vegetarian, and asked if every dish was safe, she went and made sure, turns out one of our favorites had oyster sauce. She notified us immediately and asked us to choose something else. We really enjoyed it here, thank you P.F. Chang’s!”
“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!”
“Park Lane on Fordham Drive in Virginia Beach is a great place for drinks, dinner, parties, meeting friends. I have been a frequent patron of Park Lane at this location for a very long time and at least twice a week. I spoke with manager Jim this evening and complimented him on the way the restaurant and bar is run. The restaurant is well kept and attended to. The wait staff and bar tenders are super efficient, well versed with knowledge of the product and food there. They are fast and very efficient, and honestly all of them have great work ethic and have a wonderful sense of humor. They make you feel like a part of their family and are very professional. They really get to know you (especially if you’re a regular customer), and that’s why it’s such a pleasure to frequent the restaurant. We laugh and kid around with each other and the atmosphere really is light, lively, fun and all around pleasurable. The kitchen staff prepare and present the dishes with absolute care and appeal…. and the food is delicious! I haven’t been disappointed once! The orders come out of the kitchen with care and they are very prompt. The analogy that I would say about this particular restaurant is that “it’s a well-oiled machine”, as it’s run with precision, it’s very efficient, and everyone works well with each other, and honestly they all seem so happy! It’s a wonderful place and I recommend it very highly. You won’t be disappointed, and I might add that the prices are very reasonable. Thanks to Jim, Justin and all the managers at this location, and a great BIG thank you to the wait staff, bar tenders, cooks, kitchen staff, janitors, clean up crews for an outstanding job well done! You ALL really go above and beyond expectations and other like establishments should take a lesson from you all. Thank you for your wonderful service and for the friendships that will always be cherished. Thank you again and know you are truly appreciated for your hard work, your loyalty and for taking care of our every wants and needs. You should get the Best Restaurant Award if there’s such a thing!”
“One of the best restaurants we’ve experienced on any vacation! A really great atmosphere, all the staff are happy and outgoing, great music, and such fast service! 11/10 I would definitely recommend!!”

The quality of the food was exceptional, earning a definitive 10 out of 10 rating.

This level of service contributed significantly to the overall positive experience. I look forward to returning to Honest Pastures and confidently recommend it to anyone seeking high-quality, thoughtfully prepared cuisine combined with outstanding service in a clean and welcoming environment.”

“First time here. All the staff greeted with a smile and was so nice. We got the Jerk egg rolls, chicken Philly egg rolls and the parmesan chicken eggrolls to eat some there and take with us. I was a little hesitant to get the Parmesan chicken rolls but I have to say they were my favorite. Oh and we got the Mac and cheese stuffed wings and they were delicious as well. Thanks J & K Styles for a great experience. When ever we’re back in Virginia we will be back.”

“Heirloom is always a delight, and tonight, as we celebrated our wedding anniversary, was no exception! The watermelon gazpacho amuse-bouche was a sweet start to the meal, followed by Oysters on the Half shell (a personal favorite), and the appetizer special of Peach Burrata salad was lovely. The true star, however, had to be the Black Sea Bass, which was butterflied and grilled, served over rice and vegetables. The sauce had a gentle smokiness to it that built to a perfect lingering flavor that complimented the gentle grilling style extremely well! I was lucky to be one of the first privileged to try it. Crème brûlée for dessert was the perfect completion to the meal. We left feeling very happy, and VERY full! Thank you to your incredible team, who take such wonderful care of us, as well as every customer dining tonight, and every night. Hats off to Heirloom!”

“Just had an amazing birthday dinner at Waterman’s Surfside Grille in Virginia Beach! 🎉 Our server Caitlyn was awesome—super friendly and took great care of our group of 8. We didn’t wait long at all, and everything came out of the kitchen perfectly timed. Highly recommend the salmon, steak, crab cake, mashed potatoes, and the Ghirardelli brownie sundae (with a candle!!!, nice touch Caitlyn!) for dessert. And yes… the Orange Crush lived up to the hype. 🍊🍹 Great food, great service, and beautiful beach views. Definitely one of the best dinners we’ve had in a while!”

“Aldo’s is my absolute favorite restaurant! I am a very picky eater. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) , took me to Aldo’s on one of our first dates in 1990. If he was trying to impress me..it worked! Jim, the owner, has been there since the beginning and he is amazing! He has treated us like gold for 34 years now! He has sent wine and dessert over on our anniversary, compliments of the restaurant! He always asks us how everything was and of course, it’s always perfect! I have never had an issue. The atmosphere is incredible, very romantic and relaxing. There is live piano and the wait staff are top notch. Jim only hires the best! They have authentic Italian food that has so much flavor and there is nothing like it! I highly recommend Aldo’s for fine dining and just an overall fabulous experience!”
“I am in awe tonight with the above and beyond service I received. I ordered online through an app I've never used. Not only did they help to correct MY mistake but one of the owners even offered to drive the food to me himself. These two establishments are run and owned by the most hardworking and thoughtful men you will ever meet. You can see it in the way they treat the staff as family. The delicious foods that are curated so perfectly..my favorites are the scotch eggs, gnocchi- flavor for days, my goodness the french toast, the calamari!!! Honestly, I haven't had a meal there that wasn't good. The inside of each restaurant that they created with help from their own families are inviting and cozy. The perfect places for brunch or dinner. If you haven't ate at Rustic Spoon yet you're missing out. 💖”
“Just had a very delicious brunch after church at Driftwood Kitchen on Pacific Avenue! A convenient bonus is they have a parking lot available which we appreciate! Hubs had the salmon Benedict with hash which he thoroughly enjoyed along with a Spicy Margarita, yum! Today's special was red, white & blue pancakes with a side so l ordered that with homemade hash as my side, probably the best hash l've had! The pancakes were on point with the white chocolate chips & fresh blueberries inside and fresh strawberries on top! I would definitely order the same dish again, perfection! The bloody Mary's & mimosas were $5 & tasty! Our server & bar tender, Kat H. was very helpful & kind! We certainly want to go back! Happy Hour 3-6pm, closed Mondays,on Sundays they close at 3pm.”

“Great waffle house location, went there late night after my very pregnant God daughter had a false alarm. She was and is always STARVING! They guys took out order and it was only a very few minutes until it was steaming hot and in front of us, Great Job Guys!! 5 stars all day long!”
“This is some of the best Mexican Food I have ever eaten. The staff were friendly, and the owner went out of her way to accommodate my 6-year-old grandson's wishes on his birthday. Then, they brought him a big desert to share and sang Happy Birthday to him. I do not live in Va. Beach, but if I did, I would never go anywhere else for Mexican Food. The next time that I visit my grandson, I will definitely eat at El Parian.”
“I stand corrected..... The wopper is actually my favorite burger, but I've also gotten them kind of warm 😐 but tonight for the first time, I ate a HOT wopper!!! I didn't think this was possible 😅 And the staff and service was great. kiddos to the burger King on Holland rd in va beach👏👏👏”
“Came up to the window and ordered a quarter pounder, large fries, and a pup cup for my dog. So he says that they will make something. So I go to the window to pay and they see Aurora and take my card. I asked if the pup cup was on there and she said they had something different. So now me and Aurora go to pick up our food. So I grabbed the bag with the quarter pounder and fries and she gives me another bag. So I look and see chocolate chip cookies. I went to turn back and tell her that she wouldn't be able to eat them and in her hand she had a cup of whip cream just for Aurora! I feel bad for not having much time to thank them and when I looked back at the recipe it only had the fries and burger. I found it really sweet that they gave us free cookies and a pup cup. Aurora really enjoyed her pup cup and we look forward to coming back soon!”
“Mobile ordered n picked up curb side. The employee that brought the food was really a great guy. I think we had him go back in to bring the things we needed/wanted and not one time gave attitude. He smiled n got it. It was a nice. I'm sorry to have him go back n forth many times and VERY thankful.

“Wonderful hidden gem in VB central to oceanfront and town center. Delicious European desserts that are light, airy and unusual with wonderful unique flavor combinations. So many are too pretty to eat but I find a way. lol. Sandwiches, soups and salads along with a few other choices for those looking for a light lunch. Try the beet salad, you won’t be sorry! Best bakery in Hampton roads.”

“Stopped in for breakfast twice. Extensive breakfast menu better than Dennys. Very friendly & efficient staff. To avoid vacationing crowds arrive before 8:30am. Classic decor right out of 1960/70's. If you are culturally sensitive you may not like but reminded me of my childhood. O ly down side was the coffee. OK on fist day but ultra weak the next.”
“The best Italian restaurant in Virginia Beach! My husband and I frequently go here. Being from New York, I’m very skeptical when it comes to pizza, but this is the closest that I have found in New York Pizza! Their portions are so large, we always get 2 to 3 meals out of any pasta dish we ordered & the staff is super friendly. Everything that we have tried is so good from even the bacon cheese fries to the mozzarella sticks to the chicken Parmesan, the pizza, all of it. I highly recommend going here. Their location is small and they’re busy so don’t go in a rush and be patient, it’s worth any wait.”
“This place is a whole vibe! From the food to the decor to the music to the staff! I finally found a place that sells a good reuben sandwich! Food is served hot & fresh w/a smile! They have a well rounded menu w/vegetarian options. Great cocktail menu w/some signature drinks as well as the old favorites! Big tea selection as well. Highly recommend this place & I'm glad i chose it today! well done happy cafe!”
“SOOOOO GOOD! We stopped here after dinner and fell in love! The ladies working were so kind and attentive to everyone! The ice cream is made on site and DELISH! We also had the privilege of chatting with the owner and expressing our appreciation for the ice cream and customer service. Highly recommend!”
“Hello. They have the best shrimp pasta I have ever had in my life!!! Totally delicious! Highly recommend it! 🍜❤️😊”

“My family and I were on vacation looking for some pizza. Came across this place and so glad we did. The food and service were fantastic. Got to love a restaurant when a general manager comes by checking on your table. She even gave my 4 years her own pink apron to wear why eating pizza. My daughter’s pizza was huge and cook just right for a kid, not over done and a little chewy. Our pizza was out of this world. The pepperoni and sausage were so tasty. The wood fire oven gives the pizza this awesome crust. You can’t go wrong trying anything at this place. Soooo good.”

“The food was on point! The portions were huge and the flavors hit the spot! The service very fast and attentive, yet we never felt rushed. Great atmosphere as well with a nice interior and even better exterior seating on a nice day. We went as a larger group for a work gathering and they had no problem taking care of all of us! Definitely check this place out! 👍
Kid-friendliness: Good for families.”
“Absolutely love grabbing sushi here. Every time I walk in the door I'm greeted with a very friendly staff and the food is phenomenal always. Highly recommend top notch place.”
“This place is amazing and has some of the best food I have ever had!”
Fine Dining
“Went for Thanksgiving. The traditional turkey centric option was enjoyed by everyone but me! Instead, I went for the menu and was treated to a wonderful full rack of lamb, asparagus she-crab soup, and pumpkin cheesecake. Everything was perfect and the very meaty lamb chops were cooked and seasoned exquisitely.”

“We walked in and immediately were greeted by friendly staff. We ordered the lamb burger with fries and the big fat Greek burger with a side Greek salad. Our waitress Amy served us pita and hummus before our meal. Both meals were delicious and we can’t wait to return to try more amazing meals.”
“This is the best bakery in the area! There's always a wide variety of delicious, fresh goodies waiting to be eaten. Want something savory? They have that too!! Sammiches, mac and cheese, all entirely vegan and made in house! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are wonderful. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable about the products.”
“We are a dance team visiting from out of town and Planet Pizza was very gracious to host us. With nearly 100 mouths to feed, they welcomed us in, smiled and served everyone quickly! The food was delicious and the staff were amazing. Thank you to all of the staff for making this part of our trip fun and easy for us!”
“The Mission BBQ in Dubuque, IA has the most awesome staff of ANY restaurant I’ve ever been in. I didn’t get the name of our cashier, but she checked back several times and checked for us if there are any plans to put one in Omaha, NE (unfortunately, not yet). Mission BBQ is my favorite place to eat anyhow. I go out of my way to eat there when we’re remotely close (this one is the closest and it’s 5 hours away. The food is great, the staff is friendly and it’s clean. My younger son left his Eagle Scout and Sea Scout Quartermaster patches for the on in Roanoke, VA and they sent him a really nice thank you letter. If you’re a First Responder or military, I especially recommend stopping, but anyone who likes really good BBQ! (The red velvet cake is awesome too!)”
“Session was my first stop when I got off the plane in Norfolk and it did not disappoint. My food was delicious with very generous portions. It is often difficult finding a restaurant with a variety of vegetarian options but they are plentiful here! The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, yet casual. I loved everything about this restaurant, including the owner, Kevin! I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely return on future trips to VB. Thanks Zebbie for the recommendation ♥️”

“I Love this restaurant! I'm hoping it stays open many years to come. The food is consistently perfect and the staff always friendly and on point!”
“The food is always perfect-- not just good, perfect. Every time my fiancé and I eat here it is a 10/10 experience. The service is also top notch-- the servers, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders are friendly, helpful, and fun. This is, without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Hampton Roads. We love Baladi! ❤️”
“Great prices and chill atmosphere. All the entrees were tempting but quite fun indulging in a tapas selection!”
“Rachel it was so nice to meet you! Congrats on your wedding coming up! Brooke is also awesome! I met the owner Tom tonight as well. EVERYONE is amazing, service is excellent, and food is excellent!”
“This was my first time ever having Indian Food and it was incredible. The owners were super accommodating and funny. The vibe of the restaurant was on point, classic India Music with fun decor and freshly drawn pictures around the venue. The food was also all good fresh, well season, and well made. It took a little bit to get here but it was delicious. I had the Punjabi Chicken Tikki Hot with Rice and Garlic Naan. I am still full several hours later. Incredible food”
“stopped in today for a late lunch, had the Neptune combo, everything was absolutely amazing and cooked perfectly! loved the fish topped with shrimp scampi sauce! And had waitress named Alexis which was very good waitress. looking forward to coming back on other VB visits”
“Awesome everything - appies, beer, donuts, music, service…all excellent! A+ per usual!!!”
“My husband and I went yesterday to celebrate our 19th marriage anniversary, and were highly impressed with everything from the moment we walked in. We loved sitting at the curved booth too! Our server Larry was the best! He made sure my drinks were just the way I wanted… And they don’t short you alcohol- just saying! Lol, my husband has a higher tolerance than I and mentioned it. My husband got the whole fried red snapper while I created my own little sampler out of entrees. They were the oxtail empanadas, crab cake sliders and salmon bites. It was all scrumptious! I tried my husband’s red snapper and one of his shrimp- YESSSSS!! 🤤😋🙂↕️ I even made sure to bring even the sauces home with my little bit of left-overs. Looking forward to Father’s Day brunch next month. I’ve already made reservations. 🙂↕️ Thank you to all of the staff, even to the ones we didn’t meet who made our experience that much better.”
“This place alone would bring me back to Virginia Beach! The crab legs were the very best we have ever had. The steamer bag was amazing. And the carrots! Great service, perfect views, airy, music at perfect level. We will be back!”
“Interactive and fun Saturday night! Get out and try something new! You will laugh and feel out of your comfort zone. But so happy you did it! Try it out and then before you leave, with a cheesy grin on your face... smile at your new friends!”
“This place is amazing! We searched it on our trip from Maryland to North Carolina for a lunch stop and couldn’t have been more impressed with the menu choices. There is something for everyone here! If you can’t find something on this menu to order, there is something wrong with you. They have everything from pizza, burgers and fries, to seafood, steak and chicken. I had the poutine which was amazing! I also tried the bone marrow and oysters. The bone marrow was superb! Bloody Marys are on point and the raw oysters were divine. The Country breakfast (cheese grits, 2 eggs, apple smoked bacon, fried green tomatoes and sourdough toast with butter) was packed with so much flavor that no additional seasoning was needed. First time I have ever had grits at a restaurant that did not need salt. My only disappointment was that I was too full for dessert. Hopefully I get back this way again someday. My props to the chef/owner! Service (Emily) was excellent and the atmosphere was great (we sat outside on the patio). This place is in a very unassuming location in a little strip mall so I hope that no one overlooks it because of the location. Visit 1608 Crafthouse for the food and/or brunch, you will not be disappointed.”
“If you are looking for a place to sit back and wine and dine…this is the place. Bartender service is awesome and management with Mike or Ryan is superb.”
“We had a wonderful family dinner at Sorella's this evening for a party of 10. The service was wonderful. We were greated promptly and brought right to our table even though our full party wadn't arrived yet. Mozzerella balls and brussell sprouts were so tasty and Emily L made some wonderful recommendations on entree choices. The radiatore was to die for.”
“Nice atmosphere, wonderful service, and delightfully delicious ? I definitely recommend!!!!”
“Visited over the weekend and loved it! Ordered the pretzel for appetizer, it came out undercooked but staff quickly corrected the problem and comped it from our tab. PB&J burger was DELISH, with some of the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had. Our server Andi was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend dining here.”
“Top notch customer service, family owned and they greet you and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
Sushi Rolls were light, fluffy and absolutely delicious. We will be back!”
“An excellent venue to enjoy a wonderful evening. Food, service, ambience are superb and on par with any restaurant in New York, New Orleans, or any other award winning city. We were greeted warmly by all staff, including owner. Cannot wait to return!”
“Kendall behind the bar is OUTSTANDING!!!! Her customer service and warm and inviting personality made our experience very enjoyable. Her drinks were crafted to perfection and her attentiveness made us returning customers. Will be returning! 10/10”
“Atmosphere is excellent, as well as the food Service is great, and prices are reasonable.”
“Tonight's French onion and oyster stew were two of the most fantastic culinary dishes of my life. Make a better decision in your life, and dine in at Eat.”
“Wonderful dinner food was delicious and service was phenomenal”
“This, by far, is THE BEST RESTAURANT in the 757! From not only the scrumptious cuisine, (and you will want to take a stab at everyone's plate you are with, so only go with people you really know and love well! 😂)but the service is bar none. You feel like you are part of a family there, everyone looks out for everyone, drinks are always full, I always had extra ice, we sat out back by the chicken coop which my eleven year old loved! (So did I!)We have never had anything but a five star meal here, and to get to practice my French with Veronique, their in house patisserie chef in the bakery next door?! Magnefique! This is a must visit! This was our 13th Anniversary treat to each other, and our beautiful server was kind enough to spend a moment sharing some details of their dinner menu with us, which left us incredibly excited to come back during the evening hours, or just move in to the chicken coop! Haha! 10 stars.”
“My husband and I visited this location on our anniversary. I believe the servers name was DJ, he was absolutely awesome! You could tell he actually cared. He recommend an awesome drink to my husband, and made our experience great. Thank you DJ I hope you see this or someone tells you ❤️”
“Great location second time being there and still love the food and service. The staff was as awesome as the first time 🙏🏾.”
“Wonderful experience Really good nicely prepared and plated food. First time visit. So much to see at this vast outdoor mall. Our food server was so nice, honest, and with a welcoming personality to burn away any shyness or cold heart attitude. Good looking staff, too/ possibly all related by family. The menu is excellent freestyle Americanah and you’re sure to find something you enjoy.”

“Absolutely exceptional! Some of the most creative sushi rolls ever and THE VERY BEST SAKI!! GOOD JOB Trey!!”
“This is a big YES for great food, good service and atmosphere. If you love seafood and eating in the beauty of a Marina with all of the boats and the water, you're gonna love it here. They have everything you need and want when UT comes to dinning and a store to purchase swag and other memorabilia. You can also purchase raw food from the store.”
“Outstanding meal and wine selection is huge! Over 2500 bottles to chose from”
“A trip to any beach is not complete without a crab boil lunch/dinner. After reading the reviews Shaking Crab was my pick and it did not disappoint!! Our waitress was wonderful, the crab legs were very good sized, and the taste of the entire boil was even better!! My family decided this was the best crab boil we’ve ever had. Even the popcorn they brought us when we sat down was delicious.”
“Vibrant Shore is one of my favorite breweries in Virginia Beach. Not just for the beer which is awesome but for the staff who are always fun and engaging! Make sure you pay them a visit.”
“The service, omg was amazing, I applaud all the servers, spot on!! The food was delicious and portions were big!! The price is sooooo affordable! I will definitely be back!!”
“Went on a Sunday night and figured they would be busy because it was Valentines weekend. There was a long line when they opened. Had buffalo cauliflower and garlic fries. The garlic fries were everything. The pizza my husband and I shared was very good too. We had apple crisp for dessert which was also good. The only negative was the grapefruit hot honey margarita was a bit salty.”
“First time going and I would 100% recommend! To start off the customer service was so friendly and helpful! Then the food to top it off was above expectations, definitely going again!”
“One of the best sushi places. The food was amazing the atmosphere was very welcoming and comforting. Highly recommend for a couples date or a group dinner. Try the Vanilla tempura ice cream, it’s amazing!”
“Many thanks for hosting the Veterans Luncheon today. You all were fantastic.”
“Really enjoyed this restaurant. Service, atmosphere and most of the food was very good. We were looking forward to the baked wings but they were quite soggy. When we mentioned it to the bartender, she had cook new wings They were still not enjoyable for us. We Will Definitely frequent this establishment again. The food overall is definitely very good.”
“The Xian-Long-Bao (Soup dumplings with pork) we’re to DIE for!! 👌”
“The most attentive and kind manager and staff ever! I have multiple food allergies and the manager and our waitress went above and beyond to not only ensure I had a safe meal, but also that I had options. Toni is the most phenomenal waitress ever! As if the food and service wasn't enough, certain nights the lounge has entertainment and we had a blast. I can't recommend Quemar enough.”
“This is my new favorite restaurant! The staff is so friendly, and even though it’s a bit upscale inside, they were still really nice to all of our kids and treated them very well.”
“Customer service was amazing. Sushi was made with love. Restrooms very nice and clean. The Temptation was delicious. You can tell they put love into this place. Will definitely return.”
“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach! The eggplant side is amazing. Love the Kabuli rice and chicken kebab. Everything on the menu tastes outstanding!”
“THANK YOU FOR HELPING CELEBRATE OUR SONS BIRTHDAY EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT”
“Great atmosphere, good food, and fantastic service! Our server, Holland, was very accommodating, patient, and attentive. She kept our bellies full, our drinks topped off, and was helping out all over. Very impressive:)”
“Walking distance from boardwalk! Great food & Service was excellent! Definitely recommend this place & will return again!”
“Great seafood meal that’s easy to cook at home and feeds many. We got the classic and crab pots with scallops. We also appreciated the yummy pork for our non-seafood lovers.”
“The Service was the best ever! The food was just beautiful and very tasty! (Fresh) Everyone was very friendly and kind. I recommend this restaurant highly if you are a sushi lover.”
“I love the food and the staff and of course the atmosphere!
They always take good care of us and the food is delicious. I've had five different dishes here and all of them have always been great.
If you do not like the fast food National pizza chains and want real homemade pizza this is one of the best places in town to go!”
“Eggs Benedict and the lavender cappuccino were so flavorful”
“I didn’t know what to expect- I certainly didn’t expect the presentation of food we received! So amazing! Portions were huge! Everything was delicious! The waitresses were so kind (I had 3 come to my table to check on us) Seriously amazing!!!!”
“Always fast to get the sushi and other food out. Clean and friendly environment.”
“Stopped in for the first time today. Gotta say, I love the vibe and creativity put into the details. The bathroom decor was worth the visit. (Haha...no spoilers. Just go see for yourself.) You know when owners care about the small things, they're doing the big things right too!
Had a pale ale, Oktoberfest marzen, and Scottish Red Ale. All we're on point but the Red Ale absolutely scratched an itch I've had for a while!
Staff and crowd was just amazing. Walking in, I immediately felt like a regular.
We will definitely be back...”
“Ok, so I would recommend this restaurant but not on a Saturday night and reservations won't help if they're busy. So here's how it went...we arrived dressed up last night Sat. March 29th at 6:30 for a 6:45 reservation and were told they didn't have any tables and we had to wait. The wait was about 30 minutes and during that time we got a chance to listen to the hostesses talk bad about another employee which was at the least unprofessional when they should have been working considering how busy it was and at the most mean girl behavior. So we get to our table and our server comes over, she doesn't tell us her name and nothing about the specials or the menu and we told her it was our first time so there was no effort to help us understand the menu or upsell anything. Moving on we figure out what we want and proceed to wait a solid 20 min for her to come back with our drinks which each had 7 cubes of ice. I guess they were low on ice because my man's sweet tea was hot tea lol. He ordered the ribeye med rare with bone marrow, broccoli, sauteed onions and mushrooms, a loaded baked potato with extra sour cream and I ordered the prime rib med rare with a loaded baked potato, spinach, and sauteed onions. My man asked for a salad and it took 22 min. At this point I am timing everything because our server is struggling. After that time the bread and salad come but our drinks are almost empty so we decide to just wait to mention it to her when the food comes out. The food did not come for 32 min. Finally, the manager comes over to ask what we ordered so he can go find our food. This is where the lies start. Why did our server come out of the kitchen with towels on the plate saying hot, hot, hot and the food and plates were cold?? Lol. I didn't have my spinach or the extra sour cream we asked for. We had a side bar and decided to just eat because we were hungry and had already waited so long. Side note, I don't think our server is well liked because I noticed the other servers helping each other and managers delivering hot food to tables but no one was helping our server and she was drowning. Not sure about that but that's what I observed and I had plenty of time to pay attention. Ok so we also get our drinks refilled and I eventually get my spinach. The food was good. It was cold but the flavor was good. We ate a little and decided we would take it to go and heat it back up at home. The manager comes back over and asks about our experience and we tell him everything you just read. He was nice and apologetic. He offered a free chocolate cake dessert which we accepted. The 20% gratuity was included in the bill which we are used to and is normally not a problem but we were admittedly disappointed with our experience. The bill was $209 including the $30 gratuity. We paid and made our way out. In the end, whoever our server was, we never found out her name, made $30 for poor service and honestly I think that's why she didn't try harder because the tip was guaranteed but it was our anniversary and my man is a generous tipper and would have happily tipped even more for a good experience because in the end that's all that matters to him. The experience and my happiness. Neither expectation was met. Overall I would recommend this place but go during the week. A little clarity, our server was pretty, very short with an accent, not sure where she's from and dark hair. She may need a little more training or some assistance on busy nights and she could make much more than the 20%.”
“Very good sushi and ramen! We loved our lunch and the staff was great!!”
“We had my daughters birthday party here and the staff was amazing and made her feel so special!”
“Grammy’s is my #1 go-to KBBQ since I was pregnant with my youngest son back in 2018. The food is authentic, fresh and scrumptious! Their staff are very friendly and attentive. I am so grateful that I get to provide my son El J his favorite noodle miso soup(who is in the hospital). May our heavenly Father draw himself to you and bless you!”
“I’ve always had a good time when I honor the Chesapeake location. I plan to check out the VA Beach location really soon. Great beer, great staff and fun events!!”

“I met a family member for lunch yesterday and Julie W. waited on us. She was very nice and kind, checking on us without being intrusive. The food was also good (especially the "ultimate chocolate cake", lol), but I wanted to commend Julie W. for the great service, it was appreciated!!”
“Our dining experience was amazing! The customer service we experienced from the moment we walked in the door was outstanding! The employees make you feel so welcomed even on busy day! Our food delicious and came out rather quickly inspite of the restaurant being full. We will return! Thank you to your entire staff for making our Saturday morning breakfast wonderful!”
“I have been coming here for quite some time now and there has not been a time that I have eaten here and have had a BAD meal. Never has that happened. All the staff are very professional and courteous toward all clients that eat here. It is composed of a Wonderful Greek family doing what they know how to do. Prepare food in the best way they know how to. Fresh and delicious each and every time. I am getting ready to move to the Richmond area, I will miss going here a lot. The staff is the most on point of any people I have seen. Very polite, great personalities, exceedingly friendly to anyone who enters the establishment. Honestly, I will miss seeing all of you there until I return one day for a visit. May you all have a wonderful year and a beautiful Holiday Season this and every Year. Love to all and do not forget to keep making that one dish I always get when I come in. Maybe you can name it after me. HA Your friend for life. Art Schultz (save me seat #6)”
“Mermaids in Virginia Beach is a lot of fun!! Went in there the other night with some friends and the girls were so friendly, they made us feel right at home. They were amazing to watch! I was told they are getting ready for the Pole and Floor show competition on Saturday, May 18th. I think that's worth going to just from what I saw. The specials were fantastic and the menu was great for either a late night snack or a quick lunch. The music was good, kept everyone upbeat and the security was visible, but not over imposing, and that made everyone comfortable. Can't wait to go back and drag a few more friends out! Of course I would feel comfortable walking in there alone for a drink and a snack :)”
“This is without a doubt one of the best family Mexican restaurants in Virginia. I'm from the West Coast and lived on the best Mexican food available where the ladies made corn tortillas by hand in front of you. While no Mexican restaurant does that here on the East Coast, you won't believe how good the food is at the Shore Drive, Tequila Jalisco. (Don't waste your time going to the other Tequila Jalisco's as it all depends on the chief.) The best chilies relleno I've ever eaten and each one of their steak dishes are unbelievably tasty, or go for the fajitas or one of their big fat burritos and be sure to treat yourself to their home made guacamole with chunks of avocado, all with a well made margarita. It took me a long time to find a decent Mexican restaurant here in Virginia Beach, but I've now found a home with friendly servers and a warm atmosphere. Life can be so good...”
“We made reservations(easily) for a 6:30 Anniversary dinner specifically on a Thursday night to take advantage of the "SPECIAL", 2 16oz king cut prime ribs W/roasted asparagus and potatoes au gratin casserole, a bottle of wine(our choices were shiraz or rose), and a dessert(our choices were KEY LIME PIE, CARROT CAKE, LEMON BLUEBERRY TIRAMISU, BROWNIE SUNDAY, or RED VELVET CAKE)........all for $70! The service from Janine and Jeff was fast, friendly and knowledgeable and the food!*+ perfection from "Goose" in the kitchen. After dinner, my wife and I spoke with GM Korey Johnson and got a tour of the facilities where we were further impressed with the cigar lounge and the VIP room. Needless to say, we'll be back again and again and I suggest the same for all of YOU that rely on the customer reviews as we do!! TY”

“This has got to be on of the best experiences I have had in a long time. I went Saturday night and let me tell you the staff, waiter and food was all phenomenal. I recommend if you can to try this place out. I couldn’t have asked for better. Orion’s roof you blew it out the water !! I could go on and on but I feel like others should find out for themselves. Thank you for an amazing experience and delicious dinner. That steak was melt away in your mouth. Unbelievable. I will be back!”
“Stopped in for breakfast twice. Extensive breakfast menu better than Dennys. Very friendly & efficient staff. To avoid vacationing crowds arrive before 8:30am. Classic decor right out of 1960/70's. If you are culturally sensitive you may not like but reminded me of my childhood. O ly down side was the coffee. OK on fist day but ultra weak the next.”
“This is my new favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach. Food is so flavorful with a lot of healthy options, with a broad assortment on appetizers. Their mushroom and goat cheese pizza was on point! We also ordered the Mediterranean Nachos, and they were phenomenal. We went to celebrate a birthday and got a sweet birthday card and free dessert. The service was exceptional. And the waterfront view is spectacular. I can't wait to go back.”

If you have the opportunity to dine at Catch 31 please do your utmost in seeing if Samuel is available to be a your server you will not be disappointed.”
“Heirloom is always a delight, and tonight, as we celebrated our wedding anniversary, was no exception! The watermelon gazpacho amuse-bouche was a sweet start to the meal, followed by Oysters on the Half shell (a personal favorite), and the appetizer special of Peach Burrata salad was lovely. The true star, however, had to be the Black Sea Bass, which was butterflied and grilled, served over rice and vegetables. The sauce had a gentle smokiness to it that built to a perfect lingering flavor that complimented the gentle grilling style extremely well! I was lucky to be one of the first privileged to try it. Crème brûlée for dessert was the perfect completion to the meal. We left feeling very happy, and VERY full! Thank you to your incredible team, who take such wonderful care of us, as well as every customer dining tonight, and every night. Hats off to Heirloom!”
