Kind waitress. Dirty tables, virtually no menu. We sat down and ordered one mixed drink and 5 sodas, wiped down the chairs ourselves. Decided not to stay due to lack of food options. Our bill was $50.

Great view of the ocean. Flatbreads are fantastic. Sami provided the best wait service of my entire trip to Virginia Beach. Extremely attentive and accommodating.

Just Don't do it. Waited forever for the food to come out even though there was only one other table. When the food finally came out it was all cold! The other table who ordered after us actually got their food first. Out of 3 meals all were cold. It was so bad. Waitress never even came to check on refills until we were done and I had given my daughter my drink because she was thirsty and the waitress was no where to be found. But I did see the cook casually in the kitchen eating. Again, just don't do it.

Typical poolside food, not great but not terrible. My kids liked the chicken strips. They don't bring it out to you or text you when it's ready.

Waitress barly spoke English but was overworked and did her best in a full place. while the other three staff stood at the bar. Food was garbage. Rubber under cooked calamari. Frozen over cooked fish. Under cooked waffle fry. We were unable to eat anything. Beer was good. Went to another place that was ok.

The bar area is incredibly slow. It took almost 45 minutes to get a drink at the bar and by the time the only bartender got to me I had to go. Others were leaving because it was so slow. One of the servers who walked behind the bar even asked the bartender “are you sure you can handle all of those drink orders?”

They really need more than one bartender.

Our family stay was okay at holiday inn. the front desk was helpful and friendly. the restaurant food was very good. the elevator was broken but that is understandable. the man working at the bar was very slow. he seemed very overwhelmed, strung out and was very rude. the worst service i have ever received in my life. the pool was nice and the room clean. overall, nice stay besides the man working the bar was good awful.

We waited an hour and 15 mins for what was probably microwaved chicken tenders, fries, a burger, and bao buns. Absolutely not worth it. They gave us a 10% discount for our hour plus wait. Super disappointed. We have a 2 year old and the wait completely wasted our evening and he couldn’t get in the pool.

This restaurant inside the Holiday Inn., was clean and had lots of windows looking out to the ocean. The food was delicious and and the staff was very friendly and attentive, lots of smiles.

1. Poor service. I am staying in the Holidayy Inn where this place is located and I was unable to place an order online or by phone for pickup. Why? Because they don't answer the phone.

2. I was not able to call the restaurant direct. I had to call the front desk to be transferred and again, no answer. Horrible service!!!

It's no surprise that they only have 3.5 stars.

Inside the Holiday Inn is this little gem. There's a long room with a bar at the end, and terrace seating outdoors. Ocean view dining! We all loved what we got. Sweet potato fries were outstanding. Fresh ingredients on the sandwiches. The staff was always smiling and so professional. Kid friendly, handicap accessible, good prices.
