I have frequented The Shops at Hilltop for well over a Decade. This shopping center has a few…read morebusinesses that I visit frequently and a few I visit occasionally. While I am sad and inconvenienced by Starbucks' departure, the shopping center offers plenty. CVS, Hallmark, and The Fresh Market are among my most frequent visits. Adele Diamond is the best jewelry store with amazing owners and fantastic staff. There are also a few restaurants and bakeries to enjoy. When I had a gym membership, I frequented the YMCA.

I'm a big fan of The Shoppes at Hilltop as evidenced by frequent visits each week. It's not new,…read morebut well kept with upscale stores. Sometimes there is confusion with other Hilltop stores at the intersection so keep in mind there is signage. The Shops at Hilltop are located on the Southeast corner off the intersection of Laskin and First Colonial. All the shops are collectively known as The Shoppes of Hilltop. However, the break it down by East and West. Customers have one access point off First Colonial and three off Laskin. If there is a drawback it's the bottleneck on the First Colonial side during rush. I have never had an issue with parking. The lot can be a bit hit or miss on debris. They do have a few security guards that patrol. I have never felt unsafe. The stores I frequent the most are Fruitive, Fresh Market, Bottlecraft, Bakers Crust, Cobalt Grille, Tino and Nectar. A few more in between as there are a lot of stores. My family enjoy the Shoppes at Hilltop and I would recommend working them in your rotation. Many are local businesses which is more reason.

I've brought family and friends here, had date nights for my birthday or anniversaries or special occasions, and come here to carb-load before running weekends. There is a Nothing Bundt Cakes here and they have the best cakes I've ever had so I always stop to get these for special occasions and they're the only cakes I want for my birthday. There is a Chico's here which now also sells Soma Intimates from their sister brand. There is also a shop right beside Chico's which exclusively sells Lily Pulitzer clothing and has some seriously gorgeous and colorful and fun clothing inside. Some of the spots have changed on and off throughout the years: a coffee shop, bridal shops (this is where I got a stunning wedding dress for my 2015 wedding). Parking is easy, there is plenty, and it's always immaculate. This is a great spot with some nice, niche shops and Aldo's is one of my favorite local restaurants. Service is always excellent and food is top notch! The only issue is the access roads off Laskin, but they're working on those and hopefully all will be better in coming years.

Great Neck Square has been a shopping source for the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach for a long…read moretime. The shopping center is on the northeast corner of the intersection of First Colonial & Great Neck Roads. In addition to the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is convenient for those coming north from the First Colonial medical corridor. It's directly adjacent to a sister shopping center Great Neck Village on the north. You can drive from one to the next without exiting to Great Neck Road. Harris Teeter supermarket anchors the center now. It' store occupies the space of the longtime Farm Fresh, whose chain went out of business. The shopping center contains a large variety of businesses that make for neighborhood convenience. You'll find a hair salon, dental office, orthodontic center, nail salon, book store, physical therapy center, credit union, business offices and more, including Ynot Italian restaurant & Plaza Azteca eateries. Longtime out parcel Hardee's sits facing First Colonial. Adjacent is a convenient new 7-Eleven. Out parcels of Great Neck Square & Great Neck Village have contained different restaurants or fast food over the years. I remember well quick trips through their fast food choices in the late 90's to pick up lunch for my son who was at Cox High School. Great Neck Square has received facelifts that have kept the longtime shopping center a feature of the current times. It isn't often that I currently do business in the shopping center that I pass so often. Hardee's is a convenient but high calorie breakfast stop if I've had to fast before testing or a procedure at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. 7-Eleven has been a welcomed fuel stop. Sometimes a quick stop at Harris Teeter fills a grocery need. For those who live in the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is a benefit. It's not a spot where I'll shop often.

With the addition of Harris Teeter all is good again with Great Neck Square…read more Located at the corner of Great Neck Rd. and First Colonial with every ways on both roads. Signage is on Great Neck. The lot is very large to accommodate a major grocer. Other than that it's a strip with small stores I've never shopped. A few out businesses are Hardee's and Dunkin Donuts. A new 7 Eleven is on the corner. On my last visit there was minor debris. The leasing agent is Breeden. I think they are one of the areas best.

From the spinach and artichoke dip to the desert, everything was so well prepared and delicious. I can't articulate enough how good everything tasted. Our server was attentive and friendly while the atmosphere of the restaurant was romantic and charming . The kids were a pain in the........., but that's neither here nor there. That night, as I satisfied my wife's amorous advancements, I could only think about the perfectly prepared Salmon and well seasoned potatoes. Later that night I had dreams about the possibilities of my next meal there. Tossing and turning, I eventually thrusted out of bed awaking myself only to be disappointed to find 4 hours remained from my next opportunity of culinary perfection. Anyway, I digress.....I highly recommend you eat here at least once. Also, if you would like an experience of 180 degrees from what I just wrote, try Katies 33.

We went there on a Saturday with a party of 8. We had to wait on a table which we expected. Outside…read morethe restaurant was live music which helped to pass the hour wait. We almost gave up on our table when our table was ready. We were all glad that we waited. Fresh bread was warm with a some sort of sweetened butter. I am guessing it was brown sugar, either way it was a hit! Our table had salmon, bronzed, which was delicious. Crab cakes were good and this compliment is coming from a group of Marylander's. Even then broccolini was excellent. Calamari was fresh and crisp, a good mix. I highly recommend the kale and quinoa salad. It was different but a nice mix of flavors with the blueberries. I added the bronzed salmon, which was flaky and tender. The clam chowder didn't come out before the meal, but our waitress caught it and still brought it out. It must have been good because it was gone quickly. No one else even got a taste. We had two kids with us and our waitress made sure that their orders were placed earlier while the adults were still trying to make selections. I was impressed that our service was excellent with such a large party. We were seated in this cute circular booth. Because this place is very popular, give yourself time to wait for a table, enjoy the bar or Neptune Patk while you pass the time. It's worth the wait!

A very, very, very tardy review for a mall that I have shopped for over 20 years. Lynnhaven Mall is…read morethe lone survivor and is thriving with over 95% occupancy. A few of my favorite stores are Dillards and Macey's'. With department stores dying these two do well. Another favorite is Apple which our family has purchased products from over the years. The overall appearance has changed over the years for the better and continues to be a draw for business who want to sign leases. If there is a negative it can be parking, but that's ok. That's the price of success. I will also say the lot is clean and secured. I will continue to be a regular shopper at Lynnhaven Mall.

Even if you don't buy anything the people watching is worthwhile. And like the older lady that I…read moream, it's a great for just walking around the whole shebang. I grew up in Virginia Beach, so I remember when this mall had two stories and a carousel inside. Ahh, the good ol days. Not to mention a much better food court than the small corner it has today. Ah well. An AMC movie theater, trampoline park, and a Dave & Busters are attached along with multiple box stores: Barnes & Noble, Dicks Sporting Goods, Old Navy, H&M, Macy's, L.L. Bean, and Dillards. An Apple store, which I believe is the only one in Hampton Roads, and a Sephora (for all those tweens who can do their makeup better than me) is inside too. In the center of the mall, they host holiday events such as getting your photo with Santa and the Easter Bunny (not sure of the price), as well as the Bra-ha-ha (a fundraiser of multiple decorative bras to support the fight against breast cancer) and trick-or-treating on Halloween at select stores. If you have little ones, the large play area with the massive whale upstairs is gone (obviously, because the whole upstairs is gone), but they've replaced it with an enclosed "Tot Lot" outside of Barnes & Noble. It's also pictured. Currently, there's still a pet shop next to JCPenney, so don't leave until you give the puppies (and maybe two cats) a wave hello...or a new home! With multiple lots and a free parking garage, you're bound to find a parking spot too.

Outback sees my face every once in a blue moon. Several other businesses in the plaza would love to see you any time you're in the neighborhood.

There are more shops but those are the ones I frequent the most. Since Nordstrom sadly departed MacArthur a few years ago this is the only Nordstrom you'll find on this side of the water. It's not the same as the three-story beauty in Norfolk but it'll do - even if it's only their discount arm. I love the shoe section there. Best deals in town. This is an updated shopping center with plenty of easy parking and some dining (Smokey Bones anyone - nah, I'll pass) as well.
