Terrible experience at Tautogs! The clams were full of sand, the tuna was improperly cooked, and my spouse never received her broccoli. The Moscow Mule was virtually undrinkable—lacking ice and requiring an entire lime to make it palatable. The service was appalling; our waiter disappeared, forcing me to ask the hostess to find him. For the prices they charge, this level of quality is absolutely unacceptable. I will not return!

Excellent crab dip and clams! Our waiter, Chris, was kind, attentive, cheerful, and knowledgeable. We only stopped in for appetizers (I took my two teens), but I’ll definitely be back for a full meal.

I had the Wedge salad, and it was a large portion and good. My daughter had the salmon salad, which had a large, perfectly cooked salmon. We tried the brussel sprouts bacon soup, and it was full of vegetables and flavorful. Service and atmosphere are also very nice. We look forward to our next visit to Tautogs!

Outstanding service every single time. Justin is awesome. So nice and attentive. They have the best she crab soup in the area. The food is always top notch.

Our second time here; the last time was years ago, and we came back intentionally!

I really enjoy the scallops barca, very delicious and interesting.

Take note, if you opt for the broccoli replacement side, it's just a head of steamed broccoli. Pretty good, maybe a little challenging to cut. The potato side has Old Bay, if that is not for you then do avoid.

Think they may not have had all the help needed for the season just yet; it was challenging to get our check once we were ready to go.

All things considered, we still plan to come back! But may sit inside, service seemed a little better in there.

Absolutely loved this place. It was our first time here and wanted to take my wife and mom out for an early mother's Day dinner. The food did not disappoint and the service was fantastic.

I took my Mom for her birthday. The service was great, good generous and yummy. I love the cute little cottage atmosphere.

Superior crab stuffed flounder cooked in parchment! Key lime pie was wonderful!

Definitely loved going here. I went her on Thursday for dinner. I loved the Blackened Fish burrito and definitely loved the she-crab soup. As someone whose first time it was in Virginia Beach, definitely coming back in two years.

The seafood was exceptional. Ordered Benny & Rockefeller oysters & the ginger teriyaki salmon with broccoli. Each was very fresh and flavorful...to the last bite. Gentlemen behind the bar, Rob & Steve were engaging and enjoyable to dine with. Tautog's does it right and deserves a return.

Happy to say this will NOT be our last time here. All the food is made fresh to order and the portions are generous.

Was in VA Beach Oceanfront for the weekend due to work and decided to check this place out. Needless to say, it was so nice I had to try it twice. Came here for dinner Friday and Saturday. Friday's meal was the Chargrilled Tuna over sticky rice and bok choy which was excellent. Tuna (medium rare) was cooked to perfection. Saturday was the Stuffed Flounder in a Bag with the seasoned new potatoes. Those potatoes were the best potatoes I've had in a long time and the Flounder was delicious. The service was friendly and great with a chill, relaxing atmosphere. 10/10 highly recommend.
