We both felt our toast could have been toasted longer, but I was very happy to see they had rye bread, my favorite :0) The fried potatoes had a nice seasoning, as well. Id crisp them up a little more but that may be a personal preference. I love the nautical decor and the casual diner feel. It's a lot bigger than I would have thought from the outside. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. In the area and looking for brunch? Check them Out! I'll be back to try the omelettes, French toast and/or pancakes for sure. Maybe even their lunch since I love BLTs! PS I forgot to mention ruin the corn nuggets - my favorite of the day - hot and delicious especially with the honey! The ranch not so much but overall 10/10!

Brighter Day Cafe is a value proposition with tasty food and kind service.

As for me the Spicy Sausage Omelette was really really good. The sausage had a bite of heat but nothing crazy. Not sure what they used but don't stop - it was that good. We both also had Sweet Teas. We were warned from the start - they are dark and REAL sweet. Which for me was perfect. As for the service: there was one lady (dam forgot her name) taking care of all the guest and she did great. When I say taking care of - I mean everything. Bussing tables, sitting folks, taking orders, and cashing out. Again she was wonderful! The place is neat just like many have said before me. Old 80's type stuff on the walls and tables. Now let me address something that some past Yelpers clearly have an issue with. There are small indications of the owners political views within the location. Nothing crazy at all and unless you really look for it you won't notice. Some past yelpers I who clearly don't agree used this to bust down their Yelp review. That's ridiculous. If the owner wants to voice their opinion- they have every right. It's their place - with their money on the line and their time vested. They clearly treated every guest wonderfully and that's all you should really focused on. So looking for a very good meal (breakfast) at a nice little joint - go on in and enjoy. I'm sure we will be back and might even shoot for the lunch menu next time.

The Brick House Diner is located in the Providence Square Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. This…read moreshopping center is accessible from both Providence Rd. and Kempsville Rd. I have had a few visits here now, and the most recent visit was on January 12, 2026. At the beginning of each new year, I like to try a place that I have never been to before, so January 1, 2026, was the first time I had come here. My mom was with me. Depending on when you come in general, parking can be limited at times with all the other businesses in this shopping center. Upon first look at the place from the outside, you can see the name and logo pretty easily. It looks similar to other places that happen to be in this same shopping center. We got here around 8 am on that first visit. When we came inside, it wasn't too busy yet, likely due to others probably still sleeping after being up past midnight for the new year. The inside of the place has a modern diner type of vibe, which fits the restaurant well. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Brooke came over pretty quickly and asked us what we would like to drink. I just do my usual of water with lemon, and my mom had gotten coffee. It would take us a little while to choose since there lots of good items to choose from. When she came back to check again, we were ready this time. I figured I'd get something I don't normally do, so I went for the French Toast Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon, and baked apples. My mom decided to go with the Ultimate Skillet with rye toast. The food would come out pretty quick. It was around ten minutes or so. Both breakfast entrees looked really good and they were hot. It felt like an indulgence when I started on the French toast since it has been a long time since having it. The baked apples were great too, and something else I don't normally have. I will note that I didn't get a blood sugar spike after this meal either that day. My mom enjoyed the Ultimate Skillet as much as I did with the French Toast Combo. After the experience from that first visit, we came back to try the lunch/dinner menu options for dinner that day. This visit was on January 12, 2026. After being seated initially, we moved over to a table since the booths were a bit tight. Kellie was our server on this visit. She asked us what we wanted to have to drink, and I went with water with lemon and my mom went with a coke. After taking some time to look over the menu, we were ready to order. My mom decided not to have too much, so she just went with the Loaded Baked Potato side item. I decided to try the Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with the homemade chips as the side. Just like the last time, it took about ten minutes or so for the food to come out. The sandwich I had was really good, and so were the homemade chips. This time, this meal did spike my blood sugar levels, but it was so good. My mom told me afterwards that the loaded baked potato she had come out cold. It was then that we let the server know, and she asked if she wanted to get it redone. She said no but wanted to take it home instead. The server did take off the cost of that item. It was likely due to it sitting before my sandwich was ready to bring them out together. Mom did get a box to bring it home and had it later that evening, and she said it was good when it was heated up at home too. Overall, we have had a few very good experiences here. The food and service were good, and the issue for my mom was handled well too. That shows they truly care about the experience of the visitors here. Both menus may be just two sides, but there is quite a bit to choose from. I think anyone would find something they would like here. There is one thing I want to note when it comes to paying. There is a 3% surcharge added to the total including taxes if you use a credit card instead of cash. In the end, if you are looking for a diner type of place, this one is worth checking out.

I always enjoy a good farm to table and Harper's Table has you covered! From app's, to mains, to…read moredesserts there is a little bit of everything to enjoy for your farm to table comfort food needs! Service was on point, quickly answering questions and providing great recommendations to the menu the varies slightly throughout the seasons. Couldn't pass up the flights today, between mimosas and ice cream had to sample a little of everything! The picnic plate was perfect for a small group to enjoy and the flounder fish and chips was great! The shrimp and grits were perfectly cooked and very flavorful as well! Bit of crispy brussels were a great table share for our party of three. This is a casual and comfortable location with plenty of seating. Didn't need a reservation for an early Saturday lunch, but available via Resy to secure your spot if desired. If you are looking for a cozy space to enjoy a small or large party (back large family table style available) highly recommend Harper's Table for some fresh farm to table comfort foods!

Absolutely exceptional!…read more Took my wife here for a date night and instantly fell in love with the vibe; upscale casual. Could have easily dressed up or down and still felt like we fit in. Our server was great as well; very personable, had great recommendations, and visited the table at just the right intervals. Now the food. Wow, just wow. Everything we ate was amazing. Starting with the sweet onion hushpuppies, every dish felt balanced perfectly. I had the shrimp and grits which included their house made smoked andouille sausage; I loved every bite. We will 100% be back. Yes, it's a little on the higher end in terms of prices, but unlike other restaurants these days, the food quality is absolutely worth every dollar.

The stone walls, lighting, and overall ambiance created the perfect setting for a special evening together. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. Seeing "Happy 23rd Anniversary" printed on our menus was such a thoughtful and personal touch that immediately made us feel celebrated. Our waiter was absolutely amazing all evening long. His recommendations were spot on, from the wine to the entrees and dessert, and he made the entire experience feel relaxed and special without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely cared about making our anniversary memorable. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The steaks were cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and paired beautifully with the sides. The crème brûlée was incredible and the perfect ending to the meal. Then came one final thoughtful surprise -- complimentary champagne served with dessert to help us celebrate. That small gesture meant so much to us and really summed up the level of hospitality we experienced all night. After 23 years together, moments like this matter, and Vintage Tavern made our anniversary dinner unforgettable. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend it for anniversaries, date nights, or anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Love it here!…read more Yesterday my husband and I dined at this restaurant for the prime rib special. Today Monday the day after is National prime rib day so the restaurant decided to feature a special on prime rib for Sunday dinner. My husband made reservations online for 5:00 p.m. we arrived on time with no wait and because the restaurant was fairly empty we decided to dine at the bar instead of a table in the actual dining room. Our bartender/waitress, Lizzie, she was on point held the whole bar area down punctual assertive and had everything under control. I ordered a margarita I did ask her is it a fresh Margarita and she said yes and my husband ordered his normal crown with a splash of Sprite. My margarita in my opinion it didn't taste as fresh as I would like it to be and then I don't care to have a margarita in a tall glass that just screams mix not fresh to me. Nevertheless I just know not to order that again going forward but my husband's cocktail... Crown Royal with Sprite he enjoyed it! I wasn't super hungry so I decided to order a salad and add a piece of blackened salmon to it it was very good finished it all up... ordered it my way. My husband ordered the prime rib I believe medium his was a little bit more than medium but nevertheless he said it was good and he ate every last Fork full. We decided to make room for dessert so we share the creme bruelle which was pretty good ...not the best ever tho. Our dining experience took about 90 minutes we were able again to sit at the bar and catch some of the NBA Playoffs that were featured on TV. Overall the dining experience was a 10 out of a 10 five stars as usual of course a few bumps, but nothing to take away from this experience. The Ambiance is always lovely very inviting love the low lighting that it gives as well as the natural light that comes through the windows. The service always on point! I highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven't dined here before...solid restaurant. Have fun and enjoy life :)
