1/2 Dozen Jumbo Fried Shrimp
Caleb H.

This quickly became my first-night-in-town routine whenever I visit for work. I've been here at least 4-5 times now. I always have a great experience sitting at the bar. The bartenders are fantastic, the food is delicious, and the Old Fashioned is excellent. As a solo business traveler, it's always easy to find a seat and enjoy good conversation. Note... the chef may or may both have the ability to lollipop your lamb every time. I shared the 3 photos I have of the previous visits too. I'll continue coming until I move on from VB for work!

Lamb chops
Cindi W.

Came for dinner during restaurant week. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. We were seated not too far from the bar area but it was still a nice and romantic ambiance. My husband I ordered t a glass of wine while we looked over the menu. I got the caesar salad, the surf and turf with cheesecake for desert. My husband got the fried shrimp, lamb chops and cheese cake. The fried shrimp appetizer and the shrimp scampi on the surf and turf was soo good!! They were cooked and seasoned perfectly!! The steak was cooked well. My husband enjoyed his lamb chops. The cheesecake was really good too! Definitely a great spot to check out for a nice date night.

We decided to finally come here as it's been a local spot to try for a while. We made a reservation, but upon entry, we were shocked to see the restaurant practically empty on a Saturday evening. We were seated in a booth in the bar area. Service was prompt. The food was ok and the portions were a little small for the price point. There is no pizazz what so ever. The best thing was the steak because the sides were plain and limited. Doubt we will come back. We have had much better experiences and food for less in the area. A little disappointing and left much to desire.

So it was my last night in HR and I wanted an amazing meal. I searched and decided on this spot for the rack of lamb. I got there and sat at the bar. The restaurant was empty and that threw me off a little. I ordered some drinks and the scallops as an appetizer. That was an amazing 1st course that opened my appetite up for what came next. The lamb chops were amazing. I would have ordered more but I had my fill. They were tender and flavorful. The potato was a nice pairing with it as well. I highly recommend this dish to anyone that dines here. Hopefully the restaurant is a bit more lively though.

Founder fresh catch

I've wanted to try Chops for a while now, I finally tried it. It wasn't worth the wait, I should have kept waiting. We tried this place out for Mother's Day and the service was okay. We ordered Calamari and it was very salty, I had to send it back. When the food came out, it wasn't even hot. The food was room temperature and my flounder was overcooked. The lobster bisque I ordered did not have chunks of lobster in it. It was basically a tomato soup with blended up lobster. Our entrées were pretty much bland, the fish could've used a little bit of garlic, maybe some lemon and a dash of salt. We ordered a New York cheesecake and a crème brûlée for dessert and it took a long time for them to bring out the dessert. I honestly think they went to New York and came back with it lol jk but it did take a long time. My sons chicken tenders and fries were the best thing we ordered. My reservation was at 5:30 and everything took a long time because the kitchen was backed up, but I honestly don't know why because the restaurant was pretty much empty for it to be a Mother's Day Sunday. We didn't finish dinner until after 7:30 PM because it took a while for the food to get there and the food get corrected because we didn't receive what we ordered at first, the checks to come and the checks to be corrected. Here's the part I did not like I did not see any signs about automatic gratuity being included, but my bill went from $191 subtotal before taxes to being $270. I added a copy of the receipt so you guys can view the charges with me. Would I try this place again? Probably not... I think Texas roadhouse has better food at this point & it's very overpriced. Sorrellas next door is way better I'm upset I spent so much on food that wasn't great but I didn't want to keep sending food back. As for me, this is a first and last.

Visited the area and had Chops book marked! Went with family. Seated promptly for our reservation. We had the Korean tuna and the fried shrimps! Fried shrimp were big and juicy. Not a heavy fry on them. Very good. The Korean tuna was very tender, and full of flavor. We ordered steaks and lobster. I had the twin lobster tails with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. Then the others had the 6oz filet mignon. And a rib eye. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was excellent!!

Whole Rack of Lamb
Melissa Z.

This place was a very average steakhouse, if even that. The restaurant is big, dimly lit, and has a big bar. The inside looks clean but the service was okay. They had a promising menu and the food and presentation looked amazing, but the quality was just not there. Especially for the price of everything at the end. We got the korean spiced tuna, cocktail shrimp, and corn and chicken soup. The only thing good was the soup which was hot and delicious. But the soup being the best thing was very telling. Next, we got the rack of lamb, penne alla vodka, chicken alfredo, and cajun jambalaya pasta. Every single pasta except the cajun was just not flavorful or made with any quality. The cajun jambalaya was okay and had the most flavorful but I wouldn't recommend the pasta here. The rack of lamb with mashed potatoes was also just average and the mashed potatoes tasted like it came from the box. The cocktails were the best thing about this place. They were well made and delicious.

Wedge salad. Delicious!
Alison M.

Super impressed with Chops! It's been on the list for quite some time but had fallen off the radar lately. Restaurant Week is always a great time to get out and sample some of our wonderful culinary scene soooo, no time like the present! We stopped in last night for a "date night" and were easily and quickly seated at a quiet plush tufted leather booth in the back. They have a large and nice bar area with tons of bar seating along a very lengthy stone/granite bar with a few high-tops. They also have a lot of outdoor patio seating you can use in the summer months when it's warmer. In the back there are large leather booths along the walls and windows with standard table seating in the center which is much quieter away from the bar. Our waitress, Abigail, was wonderful. Exceedingly professional and polite, very attentive, knowledgable about the menu, and friendly as could be. I chose the 3-Course Tasting Menu for Restaurant week and went with a seasonal salad of feta, tomato, cucumber, greens and lemon vinaigrette (no olives for me), Short Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Chocolate Mousse. Hubs went for just a standard wedge salad and shrimp cocktail from the main menu. He didn't want all the carbs. I had asked beforehand about the fat on the meat bc I was thinking of the Pork Chop and it was bone-in so I knew it would be fatty. I went for the short ribs thinking they would not be as fatty but, unfortunately when they arrived it had two large bones and tons and tons of fat in the meat so I only ended up eating a super small strip of clean meat and some potatoes. I was not happy bc I felt like I hardly had any protein. My husband mentioned to the waitress and she easily spoke to management who offered to take it off or make me anything else on the menu I'd like to go. I went with the Flounder which was fish of the day with asparagus and mashed potatoes and we tried it when we got home - SO delicious. They prepared it quickly and nicely packaged it to go while we enjoyed the chocolate mousse and french press coffee. It was amazing and a great portion size. I'd order it every time if it was always on the menu. Our waitress was gracious the entire time, easily answered all questions, and happy to accommodate and make it right when I didn't like the meat. When the bill came - they had taken off the $45 tasting menu and had charged the lesser price of the $36 for the flounder. Basically giving me the salad and mousse free of charge for the issue. A classy move and well-handled. We will be back 1000%. It's beautifully decorated inside - think Ruth's Chris with wood and leather and gorgeous lighting fixtures. It's clean, with an open-kitchen and large bar. Staff were all neat and tidy and exceedingly polite and friendly. A gem!

Blood allover food from improper cooked steak
Alvinia J.

Visited Chops last night for the first time for a weekday date night on Virginia Beach Restaurant Week. Upon walking into the establishment, we were really impressed with the layout and atmosphere of the restaurant. We both chose the restaurant week menu. I ordered the 3-course meal of winter green salad, surf & turf (8oz sirloin, shrimp scampi, mashed potatoes & broccoli) and seasonal cheesecake. The salad was a basic salad. The sirloin was ordered medium and came out 10% medium and 90% well done. The shrimp scampi didn't have much flavor and was more the size of salad shrimp. The mashed potatoes were basic and the broccoli was cooked very well. The seasonal cheesecake was ok, it had a topping that tasted like toasted oatmeal. My husband order the 3-course meal of fried shrimp with Cajun sauce, half rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and broccoli and chocolate mousse. The fried shrimp was a very good size and tasty but only 2 shrimp. The half rack of lamb was 4 separated small lamb chops. It was ordered medium and came out perfect, they just didn't have a lot of meat on them. The chocolate mousse wasn't that appealing. After receiving our food the waitress came to check on us and I showed her that my steak was well done and not medium. She apologized and said she would talk to the chef. When she returned she said the chef requested the remaining steak and would make another. After waiting for a new steak the waitress came out with a new steak and sides. This time the steak was medium rare. At this point we just boxed the food up and paid the bill. Overall the restaurant did not met our expectations. For the price point of our bill I would not return. There are a ton of places that we love that we can order a perfectly cooked steak.

We wanted to go somewhere special for our Wedding Anniversary and this place looked fancy. They weren't that many people dining inside so when we came in the Hostess asked did we have a reservation, we did not. But we got seated immediately. The dining room was cozy with a dimly lit light on each table and they have a Bar also. Our Server Azalia greeted us and explained the Specials. We placed our drink orders, my hubby got a Lemon Drop Martini which was really good. Warm Bread was brought to the table. We ordered the Korean Spicy Tuna and Wedge Salad. The Korean Spicy Tuna was good but the portions were small for the price. I ordered the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail with Mash Potatoes and Asparagus. My Husband ordered the Cowboy Ribeye that came with Broccoli. The Steaks were good and cooked right. The Ribeye was on the small side for $70 and it only came with one side. My Lobster Tail was chewy and had a funny taste to it. Our Server bought us ice cream for a free Anniversary Dessert. Our Server Azalia was friendly and checked on us often. They charge you $7.14 for a Credit Card Fee which was disappointing. The food was pricey for the quality. Bottom line we won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Is there a dress code? Can you wear a 🧢?

Yes, no beach wear. Shirt & shoes a must. I've never seen White tees or anything like that at Chops, not even in the bar area. My personal rule of thumb is think night out, when in doubt throw on heels... and if you're a guy keep a button up handy.…

She immediately took us to our table gave us our menus. The restaurant was quite crowded that day so I did take a take a little long for our waiter to come, but once you arrived, it was smooth selling from there once I arrive she went over the menu asked if we have been here before which we have she told us to catch of the day. She also gave recommendations for different drinks that we could try. If we were interested. I decided to try a tropical sunrise which was tequila, orange juice, and grenadine and once we got our drinks, we decide the place order for appetizers for appetizers. I ordered the oyster Rockefeller. It was very delicious. Had great flavor cooked perfectly had a lot of cheese and cilantro on top which I really enjoyed. For our courses, my mom ordered the salmon with potatoes. My dad ordered the rotisserie chicken which came with broccolini and also potatoes and I ordered the Cajun shrimp pasta, which was shrimp, pasta, peppers, and some type of Cajun sauce. I asked for extra spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all fortunately, however, the shrimp was cooked to perfection. The pasta was cooked just like ass not too chewy not to firm and overall was the great. It was a great dinner. The ambience was great as always soon as you walk in you can see the whole restaurant from the entrance you're able to see the fresh fish on the right side of the restaurant. You're also able to depend on where you sit can see the ocean. They also have outdoor seating which includes a fire pits that you can oversee the Neptune statue or you can sit on the patio that's facing the ocean so they have a various seating options that are great. They also used to have a Alisha restaurant which is a steakhouse. I did ask the host about that. Unfortunately they got rid of the steakhouse, but it is still listed as being a restaurant at the Hilton oceanfront offer so if I had to give an improvement I would tell them to maybe maybe remove that advertisement as it's no longer offered however, overall it was a great time. I really suggest that you visit this restaurant if you were in the Virginia oceanfront area they have a lot to offer. The food is great. The people are very friendly and you won't be disappointed. Cheers.

The highlight for me was the mussel bowl. It was so delicious and the garlic bread that it came with perfectly soaked up the juices. The shrimp were pretty good as well and give a decent amount for happy hour. The service was pretty good. It started getting busier as to be expected and took a little bit longer to get our checks. I would come back though especially for the mussels.

This is what makes Pacifica my fave on the oceanfront (tourists - your welcome). Make the trip to Pacifica Ave and 34 (?), you'll be happy you did. Also try the chocolate blended drink - if you like White Russians and espresso martinis!

I asked him for a drink recommendation and he was quick and accurate in terms of recommending drinks he thinks I would like Drinks: Pretty good. The Negroni wasn't too bitter and had a good taste to it. I asked the waiter for a drink that was refreshing but not too sweet. He recommended the Lucille which was spot on. Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special. I wish they gave us more bread REPLY TO BUSINESS OWNER: WOW, that was an extremely unprofessional reply. None of the cocktails we ordered were vodka redbull.
