Bottom line up front: Perfect place for a date night, with a beautiful interior, quiet ambiance, efficient service, and moderately priced yet upscale food. As anywhere else on Granby street, parking can be tough but there is a dedicated lot nearby and valet parking. My group of 3 entered and were immediately greeted by a nice hostess and coat check (we visited in the winter of 2020). Sat down and met our awesome server that ran down the drink and food specials and of course we had to indulge in a couple glasses of wine. The winner of the evening was their potato crusted crab cakes, which didn't really need the crust because the filling itself was good, but it did add a great touch. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, making it the perfect place for a romantic date or intimate dinner. I will definitely be back! read more

Service was great. Made reservations and was seated early. The place was on the dressy side. Waiter was informative and recommended two different fish dinners. John had the Rockfish and mashed potatoes he was very pleased. I had the lightly breaded shrimp served with risotto. Not a big fan but it was excellent. They had a grilled lemon on my plate which I thought was excellent on my risotto. We didn't get an appetizer but split the peanut butter pie. Oh wow. Enjoyed everything. We'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

My wife and I brought my brother here while he was in town, as we are big fans of Leone's and heard great things since they're under the same ownership group. I wasn't feeling fish, but they were, so they both got fish with boursin risotto. The risotto was not fully cooked and felt a bit like eating undercooked rice. I got the "filet," medium, which as it first came out, I immediately noticed did not appear to be a filet cut. It was a 2-3"x4-5" elongated piece of meat, and the outside was an unappetizing, crusty, almost brown/yellow color. There are pictures on Yelp of the filet, and this was NOT it. I dug in and took a bite, and found that it seemed incredibly tough and overdone, and surely didn't taste like any filet I have ever eaten. Being the restaurant was empty, the manager was keeping an eye on us and noticed I was not pleased with the dish, requesting whether I wanted to send the dish back. Note that I NEVER do this, but eventually I agreed to send the dish back and waited while my wife and brother finished their meals. When the new filet came out, I once again noticed it looked almost identical to the first--oddly shaped, and though less overdone, identical to the first cut of meat sent out. I had my wife try it (who is pregnant by the way, with an excellent sense of taste and smell and an extreme carnivore), and she stated that it was definitely not a filet and didn't even seem like beef--she suggested it tasted like pork tenderloin. As the manager came over for the third time, he noticed I was still unhappy, to which I inquired whether the cut was actually filet. He was adamant it was, though as a fat man and a foodie, I can say with confience it was DEFINITELY not. Overall, at this point I wanted to leave and ended up just paying for all three dishes and high-tailed it out. We won't be back. read more

WHAT A NIGHTMARE! 7 of us went to dinner last night for my moms 80th birthday. we spend waaay to much money just to sit in their private room even though the restaurant was empty. bc I booked the private space we were not allowed to order from their standard menu, when I asked the server, he did bring us the specials however absolutely everything was a problem from that point on. The service was beyond horrible. We had such a bad experience we left after starters, came home and ordered pizza. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!! Mom wanted a piece of plain fish in a butter sauce with asparagus and mashed potatoes. (all side items straight off of the menu) she just didn't want the preparation as the fish was described bc it was in a spicy sauce, after all she is 80. this was problem #1 of about a zillion. bottom line, they did absolutely nothing right. from the manager coming to our table and announcing to the whole family that my nephew couldn't order the lobster bc I only spent 70.00 pp (even though I already discussed with him I'd be happy to pay any up charge) to the chef refusing to prepare a simple piece of fish in butter sauce to a whacked out server who had the gall to ask my mom how to make a butter sauce so he could explain the process to their chef to see if he would make it for mom. I could go on and on and list about a dozen more problems that occurred last night but hopefully you get the picture. terrible management, an impossibly arrogant chef with ZERO flexibility and the worst customer service I have ever received from a restaurant in my life. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!! read more

We stayed over in Norfolk and wanted to have a nice romantic dinner. I ordered a Squeeze the Day cocktail with house made lemoncello and that was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. We started off with Fried Shrimp appetizer and I liked how the salad the shrimp sat on was dressed. I had the Crab-Stuffed Flounder and my boyfriend had the crab cakes. Be ready to spend some $$$. read more

The portion and taste of fish for the self-proclaimed "best seafood in Norfolk" was poor! The service was poor and other than the beautiful restaurant this place is a bust! Food is so overpriced and not well done. As I sat patiently waiting for our check I looked around at a full-house restaurant and thought what a racquet. All these suckers eating here will have to pick up another meal on the way home because all of our party left hungry. This is not the fine food restaurant they claim to be! Maybe this was and off night is all can think of with the full house or Norfolk has no taste. Ps the waitress was luck they added gratuity to our party of six because I would have taken some the money they stole for the terrible meal out of the tip! read more

It was a nice ambiance and excellent service !! The food was delicious from the appetizers to the entree. Definitely will be back !!!

We went on Wednesday night for their "Date Night Dinner for Two just $50". This was a great value for a full bottle of wine, first course (appetizer to share), second course (two entrees), and a third course (one dessert to share)! It's very filling for two people. We got the Flower Power Sparkling Moscato, and this had a delicious sweet sparkling taste. The Calamari tasted great and was crunchy as it should be. The Blackened Tuna was okay -- the flavor wasn't as strong as we would've liked it to be. The Cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness. The service was great. read more

Reservation at 5:15; dinner before a 7:30 show at Chrysler Hall. 20 minutes to get a waiter at our table. Dinner came 1.5 hours after ordering. My fish was overdone. Way overpriced and over promised. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT!!! read more

We walked in off of the street around 6pm on a Saturday night. My mom was in town for the night (last minute thing) and staying downtown so I suggested we walk Granby Street and see if anything caught out eye. We ended up here and were very excited. When we walked in the manager gave us what I can only describe as sass when we asked if they had a table for two. I completely understand the need to make reservations but as I said, this was a last minute trip and we were just walking around. After we said no, we don't have reservations a simple "I'm sorry we really don't have anything available" would have sufficed but he seemed genuinely put off that we had told him we don't have reservations. Thankfully a waitress was walking by and said her two top had just left and she could take us. We sat down and ordered cocktails. There was a sign on the street that said Happy Hour was until 7pm but that's only in the lounge and outside. We had been sat in the dining room. There weren't any tables in the lounge or outside but our waitress did look. No problem for us - just would have been nice if the sign outside had specified that. Our cocktails were excellent. We both really enjoyed ours. Bread was served with before meals and it was great. Warm and toasty. We even had seconds. My mom ordered the crab cakes and I had the seafood pasta. We shared both of our meals and they were excellent. The crab cakes had no fillers and were stuffed full of crab. The pasta was also a very reasonable size. I don't like portions that are out of control and this was just perfect. I wanted to give this place five stars. We loved the food, our drinks, and our waiter. The problem I had was with the manager but we would definitely come back. Next time with reservations for an overall better experience maybe. read more

Oh my gosh - what an amazing experience! I'd place this easily at 4 1/2 stars, and the loss of the half star would only be for very minor issues. I enjoyed an amazing dinner here during restaurant week -- they had an incredible list of options compared to other restaurants in the area where they were only offering a couple choices within a three-course menu. Not here -- easily 6-8 choices for the appetizer and main courses, then three or four for dessert. Plus, the portion sizes were incredible -- a lot of places for restaurant week skimp on that, and/or put together "deal" menus where you don't really get a deal. Not the case here -- all of the options you could select for the deal were actually a steal overall for the regular prices and the quality of what they provided. First, we ordered an amazing bottle of wine - a lovely Italian white. The wine list was unique and fairly priced for the quality. For dinner, I selected the fried goat cheese salad, the seafood pasta, and the chocolate amaretto dessert. We also went ahead and added a few oysters on the half shell since it was a special occasion. For July, the oysters were fresh and tasty -- not something that happens often this time of year. The mignonette they were served with was the perfect balance of acidity to counter the oysters. The salad was sheer perfection - just the right balance of tart and sweet, everything I wanted in a first course. My main course was also delicious - the scallops and shrimp on the pasta were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was light and tangy. I would anticipate that some would complain it was quite bland, but I appreciated its subtlety. And finally, the dessert -- oh MY the dessert -- it was simply one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my life. An incredible chocolate mousse with amaretto seeped throughout. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend this place to anyone. Service was excellent on our end. You do have to recognize this is a pricey spot though -- even on the restaurant week deal, we ended up dropping $150 for two. My only real complaint beyond the minor things above was that it was incredibly loud, so kind of hard to hear if you're looking to have a deep conversation, it's a little challenging. Also, we ended up sitting in the bar area because apparently you need reservations -- that didn't really bother us much, but it might other people, so if you are planning a trip here, do consider getting a reservation. I really hope I get a chance to visit here again soon! read more

Spinach & crab dip (it was quite salty, but still yummy) Crab stuffed flounder He loved it Grouper Filet DELICIOUS!!! Creme Brûlée to die for! The fruit on top pushed it over the edge. We will be getting our own each next time, it's too good to share read more

Food and service were excellent. Picked place sight unseen and scored a home run. Highly recommend

This review is based off just Happy Hour and sitting at the bar. For my husband's birthday, I got him tickets to see the Lion King in Broadway. Yesterday, we went here before then to enjoy happy hour specials. Since we just were there for happy hour and didn't mind sitting at the bar, we didn't need a reservation. Their happy hour starts at 4pm. Walking in, one of the servers immediately greeted us. At the same time, there was a table that had reservations and the bartender that would be assigned to us was busy getting their drinks. The server had noticed and started our drink orders first so that we wouldn't wait too long, which was nice. I was just getting water but the husband got a rum n coke. Great price during happy hour ($3), so he decided to get 3 throughout our visit. I asked if the food portions were smaller since we were ordering from the happy hour menu and the server said that they are the original portions, just half off. We were very pleased to hear that! The bartender then greeted us, she was very attentive all throughout even though it got really busy. We knew what we wanted so we started off with the calamari ($5) and the buttermilk fried scallops ($6.50). The buttermilk fried scallops were to die for and the fried parmesan basket that it was served in was a nice touch too and yummy! What I can say about the calamari is that the basil pesto aioli really makes it. Without the aioli or the marinara, the breading is a tad bland. We still enjoyed it and the aioli was gone within seconds. Still hungry (barely had lunch), we ordered basically the rest of the happy hour menu...not exactly. We got the fried shrimp ($6.50) and the mama's crab spring rolls ($5.50). The fried shrimp was really good but there was only 3 so we had to fight to the death for the last one. lol. JK, husband let me have it. The spring rolls were not bad either, like the calamari, the sauce really made it. They have their own parking lot so if you eat here and use it, they will let you park there while you're at the show! We didn't need a valet at the time so we parked ourselves. All in all, we paid $36 before tip. Great price for this type of restaurant. Will definitely come back if ever around the area again. read more

I've had my eye on this spot for a while, and finally had a good reason to go. It didn't disappoint. It's a great date night spot. The food is excellent, the ambiance is high class and elegant, and the service is attentive and friendly. Wonderful experience! If I could afford it, I'd eat here every day. The seafood is fresh, cooked to perfection and carefully plated. As a former chef, I can tell which places are passionate about great dining experiences and not just running a business, and this is certainly one. My only complaint is that it was a little loud, especially since my date has sensory issues, but I suppose that's unavoidable. Everything else was fantastic and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good seafood in a classy environment. read more

Every once in a while you need to indulge with some self love. SO I DID!! I treated myself to a wonderful 5 course meal at my new favorite place 456 FISH. Started with their She Crab Soup - which deserves its own rating and is apples to oranges with Freemason. Each having my A+ rating and having individual qualities that make them stand out superior to each other. The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp and the dressing was definitely from scratch and light. Not thick and overpowering. The Eggplant Rolatini- was very unique to me. I force myself to try different things on the menu if I frequent somewhere more than once. This dish was not comparable to eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant flavor was just scuttle enough it didn't overpower which eggplant normally does. The marinara was a soft flavor as well. The only thing I wish was there was a little more of the balsamic to bring out the flavor. The Salmon with risotto and the berry sauce was absolutely outstanding. It's hard to bring new flavors to salmon. Especially a sweet flavor to such a hardy fish. It truly was more than I hoped for. Dessert!!!! Not being a fan of tapioca I asked for a modified dessert. Just the raspberry sorbet with the ginger mint dressing. YUMMY and with each serving I tried a different cocktail. Who would have thought Jack Daniel's rye would make such a wonderful old fashioned. Truly a pleasurable dining experience, may have to go back 1 more time before I leave the area. read more

Great food and great service. Pricier so don't come expecting a cheaper meal. Great date place to really impress a date

Finally! I waited for this moment for almost 4 years. I've heard about their delicious drink and food from local friends so many times. I went there for Sunday brunch around 1:30pm. It was not crowded anymore. It was hard to choose one from the wide variety menu. My friends like fried chicken and waffle but I ordered jumbo crab omelette with their award winning crab bisque. $14.99. This is perfect for crab lovers like me. It comes with an English muffin, slices of strawberry and orange and pineapple, and potatoes and onions and peppers. I wanna order $7.99 crab soup and salad next time. Oh, their bloody marry was delicious, too. Only $3 with brunch. Mimosa was in the same price. This bar and restaurant has some historical things. The ceiling fans and old pictures are cool. Don't miss checking them out. All staffs I met there were super nice and sophisticated. I wanna go back there again soon. Their popular Happy Hour hopeful! Variety: Meat, seafood, great beer and wine, vegetarian, delicious cocktails, etc... Price: Brunch $10-15. Mimosa and bloody marry $3 then. Not bad. Customer service: Awesome! Atmosphere: Nice and a little bit historical. Parking: Street or garage. read more

This was one of the most flavorful flounder i believe to have ever had. We were gathered here tonight for my close friends sweet sixteen!!! Our waiter Ethan was a stunning employee and kept up with all of our requests, needs, and our constant water spills. Ethan really made this experience so much more extravagant. If our waiter didn't do it for us...the food definitely did!! The portions were absolutely perfect for me...i left and was full but not too full!! Thank you all so much for tonight. read more

We made a reservation here since we were going to a nearby show. We had 90 min, since the theater is across the street it should have been plenty of time. Our waitress Jasmine told us that there was an abbreviated menu that night so they can get people in and out quickly. We ordered a couple app and diner. One hour later we asked Jasmine to check on our entrees since we had been waiting a long time. She came back a few min later and asked us if we could tell her what we had ordered? She then blamed the kitchen and said they were backed up and that our food would be out in 5 minutes. 15 min later the owner came out, apologized and told us Jasmine never actually put the order in. Since there wasn't enough time to now put the order in and eat we left hungry and disappointed. read more

I went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening when I didn't have reservations at Leone's and it was a happy accident indeed. The calamari was perfectly tender, and the potato chip crusted crab cakes were a different yet delightful treat. The grouper entree was beautifully presented and perfectly portioned. And the dessert was the best cheesecake I've ever had. My only complaint is that the restaurant was unbearably cold inside. Other than that, great service and great food. read more

Great place-oyster app is very spicy! Had the rockfish-pretty good. Would come back as even on a Monday it was good!

My high rating is primarily based off of our server and the atmosphere. Our server was amazing! He was very attentive, had great recommendations, and was just a joy to talk too! The atmosphere of 456 Fish was also a delight. My party and I enjoyed the old historic pictures, and the knowledge restaurant workers had on their decor. For example we learned that the location used to be a pool Hall and that the fans had been restored to be like the originals. Our food on the other hand was just subpar. As a vegetarian I was slightly unimpressed by my selection. I knew going to a primarily fish restaurant my picking would be slim but the pasta I did have was very lack luster. The greens were over cooked, very mushy, and the sauce was lacking in flavor. My other guests commented on their food expressing that is was "nothing special". Considering the price we all had expected better tasting cuisine. After our main course we indulge in a key lime pie dessert. Finally our taste buds were happy. Their pie had just the right amount of sweet and tangy lime! All in all I would love to give 456 Fish a higher rating but for the price I was hoping for their food to be more impressive. read more

This was my first visit and probably my last. My first concern is with our seating arrangements at a small booth that fits four comfortably, we made reservations for 8. It was a very tight fit. My second concern is with the way they resolve customer issues with food and drink orders. I took one sip of my drink and decided it was not for me, I immediately shared my concern with the waiter who offered to switch my drink out with one more desirable, he recommended the sangria, I agreed. Shortly after he walked away with the undesirable beverage the manager Lisa returned with it. She informed me that they will add items to the drink to make it more desirable, I ask her what she would add that can improve it? She said"more juice." I told Lisa that I already requested the sangria, and I will pass on the remixed drink. Lisa said I will add the juice and return your drink we do not adjust bills, you will need to pay for it. I was totally not expecting horrible customer service from an upscale restaurant. read more

I made a reservation for 5 pm almost a week ago knowing that we had tickets to the Broadway show at 630 pm Sunday. I had looked at the menu before and saw they had a happy hour every day so I let the hostess know we had a reservation but if possible we would like to sit at the bar for Happy hour. Her immediate response was "We're not doing happy hour tonight" I found that odd but she seated us immediately at our table where we saw a table card advertising their every day happy hour at the bar from 4 to 6. We sat for 5 minutes without anyone coming over while others continued to be seated. The manager appeared to be running around as well but it was clear many tables were not getting service. The table next to us had water at least but I saw the woman there constantly looking around and commenting that no one had been back. A table that was seated before us had a waitress come over but after 10 minutes we never did. Mind you the manager had walked by us at least 5 times at this point. After over 10 minutes I was done. We got up from the table to leave and as we were exiting the manager was at the hostess stand. We informed him we were leaving because no one had been over. He somewhat apologized but not really. I also informed him that we were told there was no happy hour tonight which also made no sense. He said would make sure someone would take care of us but by that point it was clear there were major staffing issues and they should not have continued to seat tables. Also if staffing issues are a concern, don't take that many reservations or continue to seat every single party that walks in the door UPDATE: Went to plaza Azteca. Had amazing service. Ran into people leaving 456 fish saying service was TERRIBLE read more

Had a great meal here on Saturday night...service, food and ambiance were all excellent. Highly recommend!

Honestly, If I could give ZERO STARS I would. My crab cake dinner came out completely cold in the middle, and they took it back and put it in the oven. By doing this, the crab cake became inedible (tough and dry). The manager came to me and asked what I would like her to do twice. The waiter had to ask her on several occasions to remove the meal due to the fact that I couldn't even eat it. Eventually, it was removed but the manager couldn't even come over to explain and apologize. Horrible service and experience on managements part. We will never be back, there are many other restaurants on granby street with better food and service. read more

The food here is quite good, the drinks are top notch, and staff is so polite. Unfortunately regardless of taste I was left a bit disappointed tonight. We put in a order to pick up; I had the vegan pasta primavera and the she crab soup. Again both were very good when it came to flavor. However the zucchini and squash pieces were way to large for a bite and needed to be cut up, you could not tastefully eat this on a date with out taking a knife to the dish. When it comes to the soup this one is one of the best I have had. But tonight the soup had shells in it, sadly not just one little piece either. Regardless of tonight's issues I will be returning and hope to have nothing but positive feedback in the future. read more

Had dinner last evening with my wife and four other friends at 456 and it was outstanding. What a bright spot on a rainy, cool, Sunday evening. The halibut special was delicious, as was the cajun style grouper. One of our party had clams with linguini and another had a vegetarian composition of pasta and vegetables, and everyone was very pleased. A big shout out to our server, Haley, who was incredibly professional, energetic, and pleasant throughout. We will return! read more

Our first visit here won't be our last. My Belgian Waffle special was delightfully light and came with sugared pecans that were crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed the heck out of it! The upside pineapple cake martini was OMG amazing! If I hadn't known any better is have sworn I was having cake. It was beyond compare. My husband had the Guinness burger. It was super moist and had a great flavor. My husband had it devoured before I even had 1/4 of my waffle consumed. I brought home some bread pudding that I'm saving for after dinner. We enjoyed the live music. Our server was efficient, knowledgable and very friendly. He added to our experience. Definitely heading back for more visits. read more

I normally don't venture into Norfolk too often. I usually keep to Virginia Beach. However, I came to 456 Fish on Sunday for the last day of Norfolk's restaurant week. The first step in getting here was finding parking. We went past the parking before we saw the restaurant. It's not marked very well. We took a trip around the block to get to the parking, now that it was found. I had made reservations in advance to come here. When you come in, you can immediately tell this place is more upscale, as well as small and intimate. All of the servers were dressed in black with ties. Since we had a reservation, seating was immediate. For the appetizer, I had the crab spring rolls. They were really good and cooked well. The dipping sauce with it was delicious and had a nice kick to it as well. It went very well with the spring rolls. The main course I chose was the 456 Potato Chip Encrusted Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. The crab cakes were delicious. There was nothing but crab in them. The potato chips held them together on the outside and was good with it. I had their steamed broccoli as well, though it was cooked a bit more than steamed. For dessert, I had the Coca cola cake. The cake was okay. It did seem a bit dry in some spots. It's not exactly what I was expecting. Next time I have a dessert there, I think I'll do the crème brûlée. Overall, the food here was good. I would come back again, but probably not until restaurant week next year. It's not so much because of the restaurant, but because there are places just as good as this place closer to home in Virginia Beach. read more

Visited in September while working in Norfolk. Just had to get out of the hotel so I made a reservation and requested a seat outside. Great decision and the street has wonderful views for people watching. The Crab stuffed Flounder was wonderful as was the She Crab Soup.

I'll be back next time I pass through the area. read more

Great date night location! I've never had a bad meal here, and even better, I'm always surprised how good it is! Appetizer- tuna wonton tacos, dinner- pork belly and clams, dessert- bread pudding. I wanted to like the wonton tacos but they were kind of a dud for me. The flavors were good, the fish was fresh, portion large, but I just didn't love the wonton. Give it a try, if that's your thing. The clams and the pork belly were amazing. The broth was fantastic, and honestly, I ate the whole thing, which almost never happens. Equally amazing was the bread pudding, crispy on the edges, custardy in the middle. Overall, amazing meal and amazing experience! read more

A very disappointing experience. We were seated at their worst table - - it wobbled and had a lamp that didn't work. I changed it for one that worked from an empty table. Our appetizer, fried shrimp, was good, but the rolls were stale and slightly reheated. The entree was poorly made scallops carbonara. The sauce was watery and soupy, not creamy. It seemed more like watered down Alfredo sauce. I complained and waiter offered something else, but we had tickets and nothing else appealed to me. Also my partner and I like to eat together not having to wait while another meal is prepared. Only good thing about the sauce was it correctly used pancetta instead of bacon. The desserts were okay, though my partner thought the cheesecake was too sweet. Also it was our anniversary, I wish we'd gone somewhere else. read more

A good "spot" for very good food in a hospitable atmosphere with attentive service. Parking in downtown Norfolk can be tricky but fortunately, they have their own private parking lot. The ambiance is neat with older novelty pics of Norfolk, antique belt driven ceiling fans and even a water wall that offers serene privacy. Many folks dress in blazers, dress slacks, evening dresses, etc; however, there were also folks with khakis, shorts and/or polo shirts. Me and Mrs. always order the calamari appetizer; as for entrees, I really enjoy the blackened tuna! As a bonus, we saw our hometown MLB hero, David Wright (NY Mets 3rd baseman) there which was cool! read more
