“Ate here Thursday the 10th, food was tasty. The parking was confusing as there were signs all over of the risk of being towed. Asked someone in parking lot how the restaurant is. They stated very rustic but food is good. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Choice of beer on tap was mostly IPAs, not our favorites. Not many Craft beers available. I got the DB Vienna Lager which is always a good fall back when there's nothing else. The IPA my partner had was your typical grapefruity bitter IPA, not good. We ordered a dozen Clams Casino which were made to perfection! And we shared the Blackened Tuna cooked medium served on a roll. Yummy. It came with a little cup of wasabi a little too intense for our taste buds so we asked for tartar sauce instead. This came with a generous amount of Hush Puppies with butter on the side. I have never been offered butter with my Hush Puppies but I will be asking for it this way from now on, delish. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.“

“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!“

“Visited for a late dinner. Will disclose I'm not a fan of the white sauce that accompanies the chips & dip. Had the table guacamole, the gentlemen was proficient. However, we had to fix it a bit to our liking. It's an expensive side item IMO that there is a tip option that I couldn't convince myself to put in with comparison to the high price of the item.

Food came out fresh, came for the chimicanga, and it did not disappoint.

Service on the other started out great, and then towards the end, we had a different server. Which was when we played a long waiting game.

The atmosphere is cute, now the menus on the other hand, smelled of it being wiped with a dirty towel. The smell was intense, so I will highly recommend bringing your own wipes as odd as that sounds or asking for another menu.“

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.

“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...“

“Never again. They are either short staffed or mismanaged. Yes they were busy, but should never take 30 minutes to be waited upon. More time to receive water that was never refilled and close to 2 hours waiting for food (still not received at the time of this review). Manager ignoring attempts to ask about our order and being dismissed when we were able to speak with them. Seek somewhere else to satisfy your seafood needs. This place ain’t it.“

She consistently checked up on us and made the experience amazing. Of course, a reason to come to the Hunt Room is the atmosphere. So romantic and cozy. Had live music which only added to the experience. Our food and drinks were perfect and my wife said it was the best birthday dinner ever.

“Jazmín was our server when we happened to find this place for lunch. From the outside you may think its a little hole in the wall but WOW! the food was so good! I ordered steak tacos and was asked by Jazmín if I wanted flour or corn tortillas. I told her corn were usually falling apart. She told me they MAKE their corn tortillas and they were her favorite so I went with corn. Let me tell you, they were so frigging good I would go back just to get tacos with the corn tortillas! Great suggestion! She was really friendly and I definitely will be back. Check this place out....and go for the corn tortillas!“

the wave is a half pizza and half stromboli/calzone combination. its a little greasy but sooooo good on the beach. we ate there once and got pizza on the beach twice“
