Everyone from the Bartenders to management are fantastic. You can’t ask for better views on any sunny day in Virginia Beach. Food is outstanding but the atmosphere sets it apart from everywhere else. I go there whenever I can for their shrimp nachos!

The vibes were immaculate, and I love that you can bring your dogs here! It’s right on the water, which makes for the perfect setting. The service was excellent, fast and attentive, with multiple staff members checking in on us throughout. I’d recommend upgrading to the wood-fired pizza since the regular crust was pretty bad. The crab dip had amazing flavor, though I didn’t notice actual crab in it. Overall, a great spot and I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Menu items are a bit pricey compared to other places with comparable menu. Although, the daily specials are reasonably priced!
This place is not ideal for a large group. We had a group of about 30+. It was very tight seating and room. Hard to move around and socialize. Which is probably why service was a little slow. It would more than likely be great for much smaller groups. Most of the outdoor patio overlooks the water. Nice setting.

This place was perfect to visit as we had our pup with us. The staff was lovely and immediately gave our pup some water and brought her a treat. Food was great! Had the fish tacos and Scallop Sandwich. Will be back!

My friends came to eat at your restaurant and get a few drinks the other day and Alexa was our bartender who was extremely rude. She has no customer service skills and should be fired. She acted is if we were bothering her. She acted the same way to a couple that was sitting near us also and to a couple of her coworkers.She was talking down to them which was very unprofessional and totally unacceptable! There are a lot of other people who would love her job. Please talk with her about her attitude as we would not like this to happen to anyone else. We will not be returning and it’s sad because your food is good but service sucked. I also wouldn’t want anyone else to blast your business on social media.

Awesome food, service, and venue right on the water! A little windy, but can't beat that sunset! Crab dip is fantastic, especially with pita rounds. Mango salsa, queso, and cheesy bread are all very solid, can't go wrong. Rum Runner is a deceivingly delicious drink that packs a punch, loved it! Sunset Sangia was impressively complex with perfectly-balanced alcohol and fruit juice components. Mediterranean salad is massive and fresh! Rough Seas and What the Duck cocktails were good as well. Scallop cake sliders are unique and wonderful, and creole chicken club was packed with meat and cheese and really hit the spot.

This place has such potential, but was such a letdown. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and since there are no side dishes available, I ordered the chips and queso. The chips came out of a bag, and the queso obviously came out of a can. The shrimp themselves were decent, but you get three shrimp per taco, And the salsa that they put on top is so watery. The tacos are soggy by the time they come out to you. It’s an amazing location, with an unbeatable view, but the food is definitely a hard pass.

9/7/2025 Thank you for a great location to have our Navy Reunion Farwell Lunch, Service was outstanding Sean and Sara Lee were absolutely awesome. We had tried to get accommodations at an neighboring establishment and because it was the first football Sunday of the year they would not hold and area for us and said we would have to wait in the bar and take whatever opened up and Most of us were there 1.5hrs before they opened.
The Back Deck not only welcomed us the sat us all together and stayed on top of taking care of our rowdy group. What an AWESOME Restaurant Highly Recommend to all Great Food and drinks. Thank you for helping make our 38th Reunion Great.
