“Donte has an atmosphere full of vibrancy and positive energy. As soon as I sat down, I was glad to know we were well token care of. If you get a chance to have Donte as a server it will be well worth it.”
“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!!”
“Great food,and service.....Our bartender Judy,was awesome....will definitely be back”
“My husband and I went here for lunch. We have eaten here twice before and really liked it. I am Celiac and got the gluten-free crust both times in the past. This time I decided to to try the regular crust because at Victoria's they import their flour from Italy and I heard that other Celiac's who eat here eat the regular crust and do not have issues. Well, I am here to tell you that I did not have one issue after eating the regular crust! Not any of the normal symptoms that I usually have after even eating the tiniest amount of gluten.
The crust was amazing, so light! I highly recommend Victoria's and if you are Celiac, try the regular crust. You will not regret it!”

“What a wonderful vegan deli! Food was delicious and the staff friendly. French fries and onion rings were amazing along with our sandwiches.”
“Authentic, fresh, delicious Vietnamese food! I’ve enjoyed every single order I’ve gotten from Tira’s Foods. Plus the Vietnamese coffee is excellent!”
“My husband and I went to Waterman's Surfide last night and we will definitley go back. Food and service were 10+++. Our waitress Dawn was the best. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything. Best seafood restaurant I have ever been to.”
“Delicious authentic food and friendly service that is unmatched!”

“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!”
“We just had a large birthday party there last night are waitress. Kasey was awesome. There was 20 of us girls and she did not miss a beat. All the food was wonderful. It was my first time there as well as majority of the girls and everything was wonderful from the drinks to the food we will be back.👍”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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. 💖”

“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.”
“Just left the Pembroke IHOP and the staff and service was great. My server was Luckee and he is always so polite. The manager Christina is super friendly and always comes by to check on us when we visit. Me and my friends always love her smile and nails! My steak tips and eggs were cooked perfectly. Will continue to come in when I'm in the area. Awesome staff!!”
“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.

“Absolutely the best dinner experience I've ever had! The environment was absolutely amazing. We had a party and the area they sat us in was so perfect. Everything from appetizers, to the entree, and desert was so delicious and beautiful. Service was amazing. They even had a live piano player which was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a special night out. Thank you YamaChen for a great night.”
“I am a member of the wine club here. The food is excellent and the wine is awesome ! Tonight the service was top notch! Highly recommend.”

“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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%.”
“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.”
“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.”
“light crowd, they were on the ball. Service tonight was on point. the musician and artist EJ Bollman was excellent, very talented.”

“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.”
“Having resided in Virginia Beach and now living in the Chicago west suburbs, I have always been fond of this establishment. The customer service is absolutely second to none, featuring a welcoming staff and an expanding array of food products. Their popularity has continued to grow, partly due to media exposure. While my recent visit was pleasant, I observed that their pandesal tasted slightly different. The signature flavor that I have loved for years seemed to be missing. Has Angie's introduced any recent changes to their ingredients? I have several questions, but I shall refrain from asking further. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Angie's Bakery.”
“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!)”
“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!”
“I live in Virginia Beach, but I grew up in central, PA (Hershey, PA which is right next to Lancaster county). My mother grew up learning how to cook/bake in the tradition of those of that area. With that said, my bar is high. I’m picky…. very picky. I promise you this. Heritage Amish Bake Shoppe is the “real deal”. You won’t be disappointed.”
“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!”
“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”
“The food is excellent and our server Kendall was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. The whole staff seemed friendly.”
“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”
“Awesome everything - appies, beer, donuts, music, service…all excellent! A+ per usual!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Food and service definitely 20 out of 10! Couldn’t have chosen a better place to enjoy the night.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Wonderful dinner food was delicious and service was phenomenal”
“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”
“Found this establishment when looking for a place to eat after a visit to the botanical gardens. It was also necessary to have a dog friendly place as we had our pooch. We were able to sit outside with our dog and while the seating over looks the parking lot it is comfortably set back from the main road. The food was excellent! I had the fried chicken and french toast (rather decadent with bacon and peanut butter) and my wife had the pork and mac n cheese (they smoke the pork on the premises). Service was very attentive and we never felt rushed even though we arrived an hour before closing. We will be back.”
“Today we drove out from NC to visit with Santa and Mrs Claus at Mahi's. Great Food, large portions, drinks were great and the wait staff was great. We enjoyed our time with Santa and Mrs. Claus. We were able to take our own photos and we purchased professional digital photos. Thanks”
“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.”
“Went here for my Birthday. Party of five. Excellent treatment, Excellent food and atmosphere! Soft crab to die for! Everyone loved what they ordered. Had a great Birthday dinner. Bravo Tempt! Coming back for the soft crab.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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 ❤️”
“Couldn't ask for a better Restaurant! Food , Service and Atmosphere was Excellent.”
“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.”
“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”
“This place is a vibe! Service was amazing but the food was even better! The menu is full of nostalgia! From the Never ending story (cocktail) to the Uncle Buck(crudo),the Terminator(tataki),Indiana Jon’s (roll) and the goonies(roll). This place is a must try! 10/10 highly recommended”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Great location second time being there and still love the food and service. The staff was as awesome as the first time 🙏🏾.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“The sashimi was amazing; we loved the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and snapper!! Nigiri was super as well; loved the unagi! The salad with fresh ginger dressing was delicious too! Will definitely be back !!”
“I visit here every time I come to VA Beach. Great food, amazing drinks, and the staff treats you like family! shout out to Charlie and Also Mark for making it a great time while I was there!”
“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!”
“Christian the bartender was great made the experience five stars. Burata burger lacked seasoning but definitely palatable. Otjer options definitely thrived before
. Will be back.”
“The Xian-Long-Bao (Soup dumplings with pork) we’re to DIE for!! 👌”
“Ok. Here we go!! I stopped into this place to watch a football game and have a bite to eat with a cold beer after driving 9 hours into town. I got way more than I ever expected!! New friends who treated me like one of them! Everyone there was so kind and friendly - from the hostesses, bartenders and other patrons. I ended up spending a few hours each evening there. As a single woman, traveling alone, I felt so comfortable and welcomed. This was probably the best part of my trip!! I just got home and miss everyone already!! Thank you ALL for the hospitality and I can’t wait to see yall again!! 🫶🏼”
“THANK YOU FOR HELPING CELEBRATE OUR SONS BIRTHDAY EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT”
“Me lee is amazing! Party of four- all blown away! Fantastic!
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

“This is the best place to go if you are in Sandbridge! Everyone is so nice. Service was fast. Everyone loved everything they got (2 adults and 4 kids). Would prefer to go here more than once during a stay vs another seafood place!”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Best food in Hampton roads.
*Add Edit- 6 years after this review and after I ate there tonight.
With high cost and decline in portion and quality this place has to be the best place in Hampton roads a locally owned restaurant that gives you what you pay for. I've never had a bad dish here. I can't explain how important it is to be consistent and just plain good. I've eaten a lot of food in the 757. And I always try to eat at local not franchise restaurants. But it is what it is and this place is it.”
“Eggs Benedict and the lavender cappuccino were so flavorful”
“Wonderful food, helpful service, 4-top next to us was a bit too loud for my husband and me to hear each other. Probably not the normal situation. Food and service were excellent!”
“Stopped here on a whim as we were leaving Virginia Beach and we were so glad we did. Loved the food. We had the shrimp and grits and our son had the pancakes. That was the best shrimp and grits my husband and I have had . Our 17 year old said his pancakes were the best he had ever had. And if you want coffee, they have the BEST!!!! Atmosphere is amazing. All the staff were friendly, and very helpful. Get there early before the doughnuts sell out. Purchased doughnuts for the road and let me say, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be going back when we return in July. Everyone needs to try this place. It is so worth it!!!!”
“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.”
“The Captain and the Wookie approve. This place is a hidden gem, tucked behind alderan. This place makes the Mos Eisley Cantina look like a swap meet. Impressive brews, great atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly. Only just a couple clicks away from the oceanfront, in a district where you couldn’t feel any safer. You only catch a place like this every few light years!”
“Overall experience was awesome! I love that they have options that you can't get anywhere else!I also love how they have Zaru Soba. It's pretty rare to see a spot here that has it and I even told them how happy I am they have it on their menu. I'm glad they're close by. They also have Kirin beer which was refreshing. Their salmon belly is really fatty and buttery.”
“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%.”
“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...”
“We had my daughters birthday party here and the staff was amazing and made her feel so special!”
“Very good sushi and ramen! We loved our lunch and the staff was great!!”
“A great place for sushi as well as cooked items. Plenty of selections whether you want sushi, sashimi, or rolls. All are made to order and the preparation of the fish is how it's supposed to be (if you're knowledgeable about sushi, it's not just about how fresh a fish is because some prep requires curing or marinading, which obviously means at least a day or more before the fish is served). The presentations are beautiful and everything tasted great. If you're not a fan of sushi (again, if you're knowledgeable and are turned off by the 'raw' nature, by US standards it's barely as fresh as that of other countries where they're literally taking the fish out of a fish tank, alive, and butchering it and preparing right then and there) then there are items from the kitchen like Teriyaki or Tempura or even Katsu. The staff are polite and professional. They are following current respiratory hygiene guidelines. Recommended.”
“We stopped in for cocktails today (6 women of a certain age)! The drinks, the service, the atmosphere and overall vibe were outstanding! We had a great time and will return soon! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Evan came with everything needed for a super boil🦀🍤 food was top notch. Service was perfect. Do this for a large party in a rental house and you will love it!”

“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!”
“3/11/25 - I can't remember the last time I came here but I went recently and enjoyed it. The place was pretty busy and surprised to see how big the place really is. The table provides a bag of peanuts and you also get rolls with cinnamon butter that are so delicious. I feel the pricing is much cheaper than other places for steak. I wasn't too fond of my dish which was the country fried sirloin. I got the veggie and Caesar salad for my sides. Caesar salad was dressed really good. I wasn't too impressed with the sirloin being fried and the veggies didn't have much seasoning. The gravy was also okay. I did enjoy someone else's dish, which was the t-bone steak and the sweet potato as a side. The t-bone was sauced with onions and had great flavor. My husband steak didn't come out right twice and the third time they finally got it. They were nice to compt his meal due to the delayed. We also got the shrimp appetizer which was really good. Our server was super nice and great too. Again I feel you can't beat the price and the food is pretty decent.”
“Had a fabulous meal! My mom and I are gluten free and there were so many delicious options. Definitely try the buffalo fried oysters and red crab dip. We sat at the bar and Whitney offered fantastic service. She had great menu suggestions.
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options.”
“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.”
“My husband and I ate at Rockafellers this week. The hostess, Sarah, greeted us with a smile and showed us to a table but we noticed an a/c vent blowing directly toward our table. I asked if she could seat us elsewhere. She didn't miss a beat, and took us to a table nearby. The server arrived promptly. She was also friendly and smiling. We ordered drinks and I asked her what her name was when she delivered them. She said it was an unusual name; Hannigan. We both ordered grilled Mahi. The food was delicious. We were so impressed with these two young women who were genuinely pleasant, smiling and cheerful.”
“I'm in Virginia Beach for work and I have to say the food was absolutely amazing . I went twice this week . But, the customer service is far better than the food !! My server yesterday EMILY WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD AT A RESTAURANT !! John the bartender on Monday 10/21 and the hostess ( I forgot her name black younger woman with a long weave ) . Were absolutely phenomenal ! They offered great suggestions for food and drinks . I wanted to leave and try another restaurant with would food but, those two customer service made me stay . All 3 are a gem that you don't find anymore in customer service . No matter how great the food maybe at a restaurant customer service is the most important part . They exceeded my expectations ! I went into work and told my coworkers that live in Virginia Beach they must try this place out ! The chicken, mac n cheese , and bisque are by the far the best !! Next time I'm in VA I WILL DEFINITELY GO 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!”
