This is one review that I could not wait to do because I love when a random decision turns out to be a wonderful experience. The hostess was absolutely wonderful. She didn't just drop us off at our table and leave, but she made sure to mention who was waiting on us. The little things I didn't ever think I would appreciate. The ambiance was really cool vibes. I love being able to see the kitchen and the bar was very nice centerpiece that just added to the vibes. The music level was close to perfect and the music selection felt very inclusive and yet still felt the representation. This was literally a random stop because our first choice was closed so I was totally not dressed to fit in so I am thankful no one made me feel out of place. The waitress was so nice and friendly. Really everyone was friendly. I even loved when we left the chefs were telling us "thank you" and "have a nice night." The food, OMG!!! Hands down THE best food spot I've had for dinner in Norfolk. This place even beats out the BC. We started with the pork bites and baaby before I knew it, it was devoured (10/10). The way the huge piece of pork loin was tender, juicy, and flavorful should be studied (10/10). The sweet potato purée and southern veggies paired wonderfully. The chicken?! Juicy!!! (8/10). I don't even care for creamed corn but here was next level. What I also don't care for is bread pudding, but OMG the complimentary dessert sent me over the moon. I wanted more (12/10). 350 Grace was absolutely bussin and a true culinary experience. I can't wait to return in more appropriate clothing. It's definitely a date night and anniversary type vibe without the over expensive prices in case you just want to show up by yourself. Thank you all for a wonderful experience and I wish you the absolute best and much success!!!! read more

What a truly disappointing experience. Let me start off by saying that the food was delicious. Without a doubt some of the best dishes I've had since I moved to Norfolk. You would think this would earn the restaurant points, but it just further added to the dissatisfaction. How can a restaurant with such good food be so unpleasant to be in? From the moment I stepped in and interacted with the curt hostess everything was so tense and stressful. Unfortunately the last two reviews of this restaurant completely match my experience tonight. We were rushed and pressured to place orders quickly or lose our right to eat there. I will admit that not all of my party was present on time. But I (the one who made the reservation) and another guest arrived right on time to claim our table. This establishment's policies around ordering are so strict and rigid that it's impossible to relax and enjoy yourself. Life happens, people show up late and things don't always go to plan. The inability for the staff to adapt and accommodate leaves the guests feeling as if their presence is a burden. No one goes to a sit down restaurant to simply get their food and leave. Fine dining is also about the experience. I specifically sought out a Black-owned restaurant to patronize in recognition of Black History Month. To be made to feel so unwelcome after being so intentional about being in that restaurant was the worst part of the whole thing. 350 Grace, do better. You've got the food down. Get the experience down, as well. If managing a busy dining room of patrons is too difficult, might I suggest converting to a drive-through? read more

I wish I could give more stars. Maybe it was an off day because I relied on my fellow Yelper reviews to be interested in trying this restaurant . Ambiance is good, one would think it's a little fancy than most with its high ceilings, rich hued walls, modern clean decor. Ambiance a 4. The kitchen was visible from the dining area, albeit seemed less appointed and less attended (only chef and 1 sous chef) than a typical fine dining restaurant. The chefs would greet us as they stood from the kitchen - an uncommon gesture, on one hand seemingly welcoming but on the other just telling that it hadn't been a busy night. Service was great, a 5. The waitress asked if we'd dined there before, welcomed us. Food was mediocre at best, the food was super salty. read more

We just enjoyed a fine dinner at 350 Grace. Was able to get a same day reservation and I'm glad we did. It's tucked into a back corner spot, a little hard to find but well worth it. Our delightful server, Ember, was engaging and efficient, taking great care of us. We had the fried oyster appetizer, which is worth the money, unusual but very good. My wife enjoyed her shrimp and grits and I was impressed by the execution and presentation of my crispy skinned salmon dish. We also were pleased to each receive a free mini dessert, a type of warm bread pudding with some ice cream which was wonderful! That tasty small complimentary dessert was a great ending to a very good meal. Well done! We'll be back. read more

Amazing food! Safe for celiacs, and spectacular dessert included. Recommend this place to everyone.

Hidden location across from Wic and Sip. I recall coming here when it was a Turkish restaurant so that's how we were able to find the it. The place felt new and clean. Loved the modern and simple decor and style. Upon arrival I didn't think we were going to eat here because we didn't have reservations and the hostess made it seem like it was a bit inconvenient. However, she ended up waiting on us and did a great job. They seemed low staff for a Friday, but loved how they worked together as a team. The food was delicious! I got the salmon and the hubby got the steak. Oysters were phenomenal and the complimentary dessert was a great addition. read more

This place was a godsend. I recently found out. I am gluten intolerant and this place has made eating out an absolute breeze. You wouldn't even know that it's gluten-free and having a full list of mock tails to somebody who does not drink alcohol. It is a perfect fit. The service was absolutely amazing. She made sure we were taken care of anytime we were finished or ready to order something new the ambience was very high class. It seems like they really care about their image in the restaurant. read more

This is my new favorite spot in Norfolk. I've been there maybe three or four times now, and each time has been better than the last. So far, I've had the rib appetizer, the watermelon salad, and another appetizer that I'm evading. I have had the pork dish with hot sauce and the New York strip as entrees. The service has always been premier. Each time I've been served by the owners's wife. She is communicative, professional, and accommodating. She's a great asset to this team. The ambience of the space is really nice. Definitely an elevated dining experience yet it's not "pretentious." I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back. read more

If you're looking for the perfect ambience to enjoy a superb, masterfully prepared meal, then come to the elegant dining pleasure of 350 Restaurant located at 350 W. 22nd Street in Norfolk, Virginia. This was the first time I had come to his magnificent restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised when I was gre eted at the door with "Welcome, Patty, we're so pleased to see you." I ordered the grilled chicken. It was juicy and well done, as I had requested. They even gave me a complimentary dessert that was scrumptious. My server was Jimmy, a master of making me feel more like family than just another customer. And the pricing was reasonably affordable. If I could give this review a ten star rating, I certainly would. Please, check it out, you'll thank me. Patty read more

Unfortunately, it just wasn't an inviting experience. We had a 5:15pm reservation and the restaurant was not crowded at all. Wait staff indicated the chef would not allow us to order drinks until we were ready to order our appetizers and entrees. Something about other reservations coming in and the food had to be staged. The whole conversation was so uninviting that we didn't feel very welcome. We left without ordering and went somewhere else to eat. read more

As always Chef Moats serves a great southern meal with great service. Enjoyed the southern hospitality provided

Love the set up. Looking into the kitchen and watching the chef was amazing. Service was great very kind very courteous. The food was amazing lamb was fantastic. Steak was great. Wonderfully cooked and again can't say enough about the service read more

Perfect place to eat. I stumbled across this place while visiting the area on business. It was so good, I drove three hours the very next weekend to come back. The vibe is giving metro-luxury. The staff felt like family (if you're spoiled by your family). The food is amazing. I had the Catfish and Spare ribs appetizers, and the pork loin entree... twice! They were all so good. The drinks are amazing. I had too many to name... even the mock-tails were delicious. read more

Wowowowow!!! What a hidden gem! Started with a phenomenal oyster appetizer. Husband has the pork loin ( deliciously grilled and a little spicy). I had the salmon...perfectly cooked. We added the potato chip crust crab Cake...zero and I mean zero filler. Sides were true southern dishes: mashed sweet potatoes, greens, charred corn. The chef sent over a small maple bourbon bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. I could have eaten a bucket of it. Excellent!!!! It's a small place but our service was phenomenal and we could see that the kitchen was spotless. One of the best meals we've had in ages. We will be back!!! read more

Food is consistently wonderful! Service efficient. Recently a lot of items not available

Solid 4.5 overall. Like many places post-Covid, they are short staffed. This meant getting sat 30min after our reservation and no bartender. Thankfully, food quality and hospitality accommodating a dairy-free diner in our party made our visit special. The pork loin was a showstopper -- RAVEWORTHY, and I never boast about a roast (pork); tender, juicy, and flavorful. Side sweet potato purée helped set it off even moreso. Friend's steak was TOP NOTCH. Perfectly cooked charred outside, medium rare inside, with flavor for days. Crab cakes and shrimp n grits were good, but paled in comparison to the Steak and Pork dishes. Complimentary desserts were the perfect sweet finish to the visit. read more

My girlfriends took me out for a belated birthday celebration last night and we couldn't have chosen a better restaurant. 350 Grace was EVERYTHING! Our experience at this black-owned, chef-owned restaurant was amazing. From the time we walked in the door we were pleased with the beautiful decor and the colors...and I always love an open-concept chef's kitchen. While it was clear that there was not a lot of staff to attend to the Thursday night crowd, we never felt neglected or experienced any service delays. Instead, our hostess (chef's wife btw) took very good care of us and was very attentive. When the food came out--from the starters to the complementary dessert finish--every dish was plated beautifully AND DELICIOUS! Between the 4 of us, we tasted almost everything on the menu and it all tasted like love! It's hard to believe chef made all of this magic happen in the kitchen basically solo. And, if you're concerned, like I was initially, about the menu being all gluten free...DON'T BE! We did not miss one bit of gluten when the flavors hit our palettes! We even had the pleasure of being greeted by the chef and learning more about his storied history as an executive chef at many establishments around Norfolk before opening his own restaurant. I look forward to the day he receives all of the awards and accolades due to such a skilled chef and his beautiful restaurant. read more

Horrible experience. Had reservations for 6 last night (Friday night). Only four people in my party arrived on time. The restaurant was not busy (three people total inside before we arrived and one of them was sitting at the bar) only one Chef cooking for the evening (Chef is the owner). I understand two guests were late, things happen and because of this my party decided to move forward with our evening without them since we had reservations. The Chef/owner refused to take the order from the four of us but mind you we were initially rushed to order by the hostess as soon as we arrived because she wanted us to know that the Chef was the sole Chef that evening. Once the Chef realized our party wasn't whole the hostess comes back and tells us that we couldn't order until the other two guests arrived and could we call and get their order over the phone. We decide at this time it's best to leave because this makes no sense. Why can't you take my party of four order and if the two show, take their order when they arrive. I think it's important to note that this all took place in a 30 minute time span and the Chef/owner also noted that he only has a 15 minute grace period for reservations. I understand and respect policy, so again I knew it was time for us to leave. Chef/owner proceeds to come over and explain himself, which I advised him there was no need to do so, since we were leaving. He gets upset because I'm asking him to save his speech we understand your policy, even if we don't agree and that we would be leaving after we received and finished our drinks (since we had ordered prior to being told he wouldn't take our order). Chef/owner proceeds to cut me off. He was very rude and egotistical during this exchange. Disappointing and embarrassing was the experience. As the Chef/owner informed us as he came to our table "this is why he doesn't take parties our size", so please keep this in mind when patronizing this business if you need accommodations for a party of 4+. I had guests visiting from out of town and was hoping to support a black owned business but this establishment will never get another cent from me or a recommendation due to the treatment my party of four received during a time that the restaurant wasn't full or busy (clearly if the Chef/owner had time to come to our table and argue with us he wasn't cooking-just saying). PLUS: let me also add that the menu received in the restaurant is not the posted menu online. read more

We visited for dinner after wanting to try this place for a long time. We were greeted warmly by Michelle and Erik and informed that there was no bartender this evening so we could order beer or wine. No biggie, but the cocktail menu looked good! Wine selection is small but thoughtful and the ones we ordered were very good. We had the turnip fries as an appetizer -- very tasty with housemade ketchup and remoullade. Entrees were the shrimp and Cheddar grits with andouille sausage, and pork loin with a hot honey BBQ and the best mashed sweet potatoes I've ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious, and service was attentive and friendly. We got little dessert tastes for free -- a chocolate avocado mouse (!) and a bourbon caramel bread pudding. I'd definitely go back, though I hope they're able to shore up their staffing soon. read more

It's very rare when every dish is exceptional. That was exactly our experience at 350 Grace! From the appetizers (catfish and fried oysters) to the fire grilled chicken, every bite was exceptional! Kudos to chef Moats and his staff for a lovely experience! Many blessings! read more

Great food!! Service is excellent. Atmosphere is classy date night feel. But relaxing not snobbish.

My new favorite restaurant in Hampton Roads. I am came across this recommendation on a gluten free group on FB and made a reservation right away! The whole menu is gluten free! I was also pleasantly surprised by a huge mocktail menu which made dry January so much more exciting tonight for date night! My husband ordered the shrimp & grits and I had the lamp chops. We shared the fried oyster appetizer and were surprised with complimentary desserts to taste at the end - a delicious chocolate mousse and the BEST bread pudding (yes, gluten free too!!). The flavor of everything was just perfect. Highly recommend!!! We'll definitely be going back regularly! read more

OMG, this place right here!!! I % recommend. Black owned and operated with excellence Now you need to 1st go to their website and schedule your reservation. They make everything once you order, and a reservation makes everything run so smoothly. Now don't go and be in a rush! You will have to be patient. The place is small and intimate and immaculately clean! The staff is small, pleasant, and extremely helpful. I suggest you start off with a cocktail to cleanse your palette. The crispy catfish is amazing, and the hit sauce that comes with it sets it off. The potato salad that is served with is top teir. The pickled onions, peppers, and cucumbers I need the recipe. I don't like onions and ate every drop. The salmon is set on a corn and veggie broth with truffle oil. When I tell you I wanted a bowl of that as a soup!!! Sooooo good and crispy full of flavor. The pork loin was so thick, full of flavor, and the veggies and sweet potato mash it came with kept me begging for more. I will be back, and I hope the chef creates a cookbook. Love it. I'll be back! read more

Love, love, love!!! This is now my new favorite restaurant!! My babe wanted to dine out this past Friday night. Therefore it was up to me to choose a restaurant. The weather was bone-chilling and I figured we dine somewhere close to home. Babe wasn't feeling that idea... I checked my handy dandy Yelp app and saw this restaurant featured as 'hot and new' - hmmmm... I checked out the menu and a few pictures and was intrigued. I called about an hour ahead of time to secure a reservation just because. I spoke with someone and secured a table for two at 7:30 pm on Friday night. It was a little hard to spot, but the restaurant is located in the Palace Shops parking lot...right next to Just Cupcakes and near Mermaid Winery. I did dial the number again to reconfirm, but there is a small sign out front with 350 Grace... I guess we both were so excited, we both looked passed the sign. We walked in and was immediately greeted by Herb. Tall and slender, his amazing energy was felt! There was one couple at the bar and about four other parties dining in. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. I was thrilled, because I knew I was going to have questions and wanted to interact with the staff to get a feel of this new restaurant. Throughout the night, the restaurant wasn't packed at all. After speaking with our waiter, Steve, he mentioned this was the first Friday since opening (September 2019) that the crowd was light. Good for us... we were able to speak with everyone on staff... Herb - greeter, bartender... overall a great guy! Super friendly, love him! He blessed my spirit with not one, but three margaritas!! Every single one was on point... better and better! Steve - waiter... nice guy! Keep us informed and even took a few minutes out to engage in conversation with us! Jimmy - waiter... he seems like the Jim Carey out of the bunch. The jokester, witty and he kept us informed too! Jimmy and Steve both waited on us... not overbearing, but on point all night! A great team!! My babe loves apple pie and was hoping to try apple pie during our dining experience... not available. We opted for peach cobbler. The owner came around and checked on us several times, super pleasant woman! The chef, Chef Moats came out as well... we expressed how super awesome our meals tasted and that we would return soon with the hopes of having apple pie! The desserts change often I believe and different specials are featured as well. Well last Friday, from start to finish everything was EV~ER~Y~THING!!! Complimentary cornbread with the butter and peach spread - delish!! Encrusted crab cakes with asparagus and lobster mash potatoes - THEE BEST EVER!! Salmon (cooked well) - super tender!! A very delicate piece of fish!!! So yummy!! Peach cobbler - my first time having peach cobbler!!! Just Right!!! I would order this again! Now... the cocktails!!! Margaritas are hard to come by... consistency lacks at most restaurants I have visited! But at 350 grace... they taste homemade!!! Fresh everything!! You can tell!!! I had three and was full of great cheer!! Light... and tasty!! This is now my favorite restaurant!! Service, food, drinks, hospitality - 10 diamonds, stars... all of that!! I am not sure if parking is an issue, but once the parking lot fills, I am not sure where other parking lots are located. Happy hour is daily (closed on Sundays or Mondays) from 5 pm - 6:30 pm. As of now, only two waiters are present, more should be coming on soon. But this last Friday night, every aspect of the night was top notch! Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

350 Grace - Southern Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

350 Grace is one of our very favorite restaurants in Norfolk and really anywhere in the States. It is reminisant of some of the farm to table restaurants in Charleston, SC. A southern cuisine with a light french flair. It has its own amazing flavor identity. The service is top-notch. DeShon made me the best Classic Old Fashioned that I have ever had in all of my travels and is a class act. Eric, our server, is always ready with a smile and catered to all of our needs with a genuine desire to satisfy his customers. Mrs Moats is extremely kind and accommodating. She always remembers us when we come back and greets us like old friends. Chef Willie Moats is crushing everything in the kitchen. Everything he creates at 350 has been amazing. If you love shrimp and grits - YES, if you love a good pork loin or pork chop - YES, Steak - yes, Salmon - Yes, Deserts...YES!! The scene is a relaxing, warm inviting and still elegant. It makes you want to stay and just be there with an old friend, new friend or a loved one. It is intimate and still has a fun vibe. read more

This is another amazing chef-owned restaurant in Norfolk. We enjoyed this meal so much, everything was creative and full of flavor and the service could not have been more warm and friendly. If I had not read it previously, I would not have known their entire menu was gluten-free. Nothing was lacking in flavor or textures in the least. The cornish hen I ordered was cooked perfectly with an amazing molasses-based glaze. The beef short rib appetizer was also so well cooked and flavorful. They also offer some creative and tasty cocktails which were well-enjoyed. Do not hesitate if you have yet to try 350 Grace, come enjoy a wonderful meal and support a super-talented chef and black-owned restaurant! read more

We had made reservations and when we showed up the hostess asked if we would mind sitting at the bar. I looked around at all the empty tables and asked why if we had made reservations. She had no answer. I asked again and was told by this very young lady well it may be awhile and we could sit in the waiting area but she couldn't give us an estimate as to when we would be seated. Again remember most of the tables were empty and we had reservations. At this point based on the unsympathetic and curt attitude of the hostess, we took our business elsewhere. This was our second time at 350 Grace. The first time, although the food was great, the service was off because of understaffing (the server doing double duty as bartender). My summary of 350 Grace: good food undermined by chronic understaffing resulting in an unsatisfactory dinning experience. read more

My husband and I dined here on a Friday night without reservations. It was the ninth night they have been open so still technically during their "soft opening". The staff was very friendly as we were seated immediately. The manager, Herb stopped by to tell us about the chef and restaurant details. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very conversational. She was well versed on the wine list and did a great job helping me select a red wine. The decor is classy and looks nice, although a bit sparse. Maybe due to the newness? The acoustics in the space are pretty loud. It is something my husband and I immediately commented on as we were seated. It has an open kitchen and a nice sized bar with seating. We were told the menu will change as they are still working on things. The menus are each printed on a piece of paper so we had several sitting on our table to keep from blowing off onto the floor (dinner, wine, dessert menu, etc). I would hope that as they progress that the menus will go in an actual menu book. For the price you pay for the food, the menu presentation deserves that. Menu selections were nice such as shrimp and grits, hen chicken, salmon, meatloaf. The prices were high. Higher than I expected. Although my salmon was amazing, it was still pretty expensive (upper $20's). My husband was not overly impressed with his chicken. I think for the price he thought it would be better, but he said "it was just chicken". The little baby cornbread muffins they bring out prior to the entree were delicious. Served with 2 choices of a soft butter and a tomato based spread as well. If you are gluten free this is a nice option for you as everything in the restaurant is gluten free so there is no worry for cross contamination. Too pricey for me to dine there on the regular occasion although I hope that they do very well. Overall, I'm torn between a 3/4 star rating here. I upped to a 4 because of the great service and my personal entree (salmon) was amazing. read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, service, and food at 350 Grace. We were greeted warmly when we arrived, and provided quality service throughout the evening. Our meals were exceptional. I had lamb chops; they were tender and flavorful. My husband had the chicken; he thoroughly enjoyed the creative Southern flair. The hostess noticed my husband had a drink and I didn't; she inquired about it. I told her I do not care for the taste of alcohol. She asked the bartender to make a mock tail for me; it was a perfect tropical paradise. I highly recommend 350 Grace for an extraordinary meal and stellar service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. read more

Well this is a true hidden gem. For real I never knew this place was here until I was visiting a bakery near this place and happen to look over and see 350 Grace atop an entrance. I like trying out local places and it does not get any more local than this with the head chef being from Norfolk. It is a slightly different take on Southern food but from my recent visit I think anyone will find something to please them. The menu is small but to me that is a good thing as they concentrate on a few items. I like it when restaurants concentrate on what you they do best instead of trying to have everything for everyone. As Bruce Lee said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times." The food I had shows that 350 Grace has polished their skills be it with the drinks, appetizers, or the entrées. I asked for my steak to be a medium rare and even at some of the most high end steakhouses this still cannot be done right. Thank you 350 and feel free to show some of these other places how it is done. The horseradish sauce was a very nice compliment as I am usually an A1 type of guy when it comes to my steaks. It was not overpowering and match perfectly with the slight char on the steak. Definitely something different and what I would recommend to try if you visit this establishment. Many times local places come and go but this is a great place to check out and support those who stay and support the local community. read more
