It even reminded me of a cozy cafe back home in Jersey. I’ll definitely be coming back—loved everything about it!“

And they have nice little finger foods to go with your wine! Great little booths with hand-made goods all around the place. You gotta give them a try.“

“If you are feeling adventurous, I encourage to take the drive to this restaurant especially if you love espresso martinis. Every time I go, everything is consistent. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing as well. Menu has many options. The owner is also hands on and is welcoming to guests and appreciative of anyone who comes to this establishment and makes everyone feels valued. Check out their Youtube as well, “The Campin Kitchen”.“

“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 generally stay near there and once we found it, and sampled their pancakes, we never quite going back, anything else disappoints us. \nEven when busy, as it was on our most recent visit, we were seated quickly, had our orders taken in a reasonable time and had our food in front of us soon. \nAlways delicious, always courteous, always a pleasure.“

“The food redeemed the initial impression of this place. Five 20-something females were gathered around the hostess stand chatting and finally acknowledged us, only to dismiss us with a proposed 15+minute wait because of "reservations." I defy anyone to find "reservations" on the website, FB, etc. for this restaurant on Pleasure House Road. The unfriendly attitude surprised me as VB is a tourist town and not just down on the strip. Because we had another engagement, we opted for dinner service at the bar; which is a bit too tall for comfort. The bartender was busy and we waited. We were finally able to order and had very good crab cakes and seafood Alfredo (a little watery). The surprise was the succotash ; which I would never ordinarily eat because lima beans are a hard NO. This succotash was made with edamame; very creative and tasty. Throughout the meal we watched several tables remain empty and the group of girls continue to cluster at the hostess stand. Management might want to eliminate some payroll overages. One last thing was a slovenly and surly looking young man with more hair hanging in his face than seemed hygienic; so glad he didn't serve us! As the start to our date night this was not a great success, but we had a good meal. This restaurant is recommended with "reservation".“

“Great food,and service.....Our bartender Judy,was awesome....will definitely be back“

“Great prices and chill atmosphere. All the entrees were tempting but quite fun indulging in a tapas selection!“

“Great service, delicious food, fabulous Margaritas! They were busy, we had a party of 7, they moved stuff around for us and got is fed. Fantastic restaurant. We will definitely be back next time we are in VA beach!“

“Best beers in town!! Gotta have the rising bun!! Music bingo is always fun, they host open mic nights, and plenty of food trucks park here. If there isnt a food truck, you got frank and pattys open late for some insanely good smash burgers and chicken tendiesssss!“

“Very “real” fast food from the bobo kitchen“

“I don’t normally write reviews for places unless they’re either really really good, or really really bad. This place was really really good. An unexpected gem after spending a little time at Chick‘s Beach with the family… Was not expecting the excellence we got from the moment we walked in. The staff was quick to greet, and very friendly. The atmosphere was really lovely, nice low, but perfectly sufficient lighting, a lovely patio with hanging lights and the back of the restaurant overlooks the water and a lovely little walking bridge, beautiful stonework bar, with a superb whiskey selection, though I was in the mood for beer last night… Our server, Natalie, was incredibly warm and helpful, offered to let me to taste some of the beer on tap, which led to me purchasing a pint of one of the most deliciously creamy raspberry wheat beers I’ve ever had. She recommended the pizza rustica, and I, as a chef of 13 years, was skeptical that it would be as good as it was, but yet again, perfection. There was literally nothing wrong, I tried a bite of each of my family members’ food as well because I do that... It was all excellent, the “avocado and IPA bacon grilled cheese” my daughter ordered was my second favorite after the pizza. Just a fantastic spot. Worth a trip out to Virginia Beach for dinner from anywhere else in Hampton Rose, even without a prerequisite beach trip.“

“Love this place! Service is friendly, food is fresh, healthy & delicious & the items in the retail section are unique and perfect for gift-giving!“

“We had the hot buffalo wings to start, followed by the ahi tuna and black rice and garlic and herb chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly. The smoky flavor of the fire grill enhanced the flavor of everything! Easily the best meal we’ve had in Virginia Beach, possibly on the east coast! The service was also great!“

“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.“

“When we arrived we were quickly greeted and seated at the bar. We were warmly greeted by the bar tender and received our drinks quickly. The ambience was on point, a great vibe. The food was delicious as well. Although, my husband said he chicken sandwich was tender, yet lacked flavor. My salmon hash and greens were very flavorful. Overall, a good time.“

“I LOVE this place!! I had a smoothie with a sandwich & it was delicious!! Every time I have come in here food was great & it is very clean. This is my favorite location!! Owner is awesome. Customer for life!!!“

“My son introduced me to this place. And I'm so happy he did. You can't go wrong from the large selection of flavors to choose from because each flavor is delicious! Each spoon is filled with it's natural taste.
This ice water maintains its firmness which means it doesn't melt as soon as you're out the door.
I've purchased several gallons to serve at different large events. Everyone loves it!! Items are reasonable priced and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their product. I highly recommend this place all year long. You'll find out that you can't get enough.“

“The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Everything that our party ordered was served fresh and was made in house. The key lime pie and the house pickles are must haves. I highly recommend this hidden gem“

“So far the best of everything I have had at Virginia Beach. I cannot express how great it is.“

“Used to be my favorite place to go, but haven’t been there since the 80s will be back in October and will be the first flight. I go when I get back to the beach love zero grub steak and cheese with peppers“

“Great shoreside New England seafood. Friendly staff, fast service. The people that frequent the place are all so friendly too, it's like they are so happy to be there.“

“The layout sets the vibe with and a rooftop area that overlooks the entire location. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Lots of games for adults and kids to play. There is when a small putt putt golf area. I haven't tried the food but it all looks good. Plenty of drinks on tap and canned.“

“Wowza! Some of the best Italian cooking in town. The flavors are off the charts. And then desert to go for later! We will definitely return to try another dish! 😋 And I might add the atmosphere was perfect and not LOUD like a lot of today’s restaurants.“

“100% recommend! Favorite restaurant on the beach. The owners and workers are undoubtably some of the kindest people we have ever met. The owners work so hard to please everyone that comes into their restaurant. They remember our family each year and welcome us with open arms, tasty food and drinks. Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality.“
