Buoy 44 was a great place to enjoy an early Friday afternoon dinner…read more I took my friend visiting town here and we both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The only reason this review doesn't get 5 stars is because of the limited parking. Buoy 44 offers a great selection of beers and happy hour prices! The fish tacos and bacon wrapped scallops were amazing. The prices are what I would expect for this area, you can tell it's a popular place as plenty of patrons were paying to park next to it $40). We found street parking a few streets over.

First time here this weekend for dinner. Sat out on deck on hot day but it was shaded and…read morecomfortable luckily. There were seats inside available. Had the blackened tuna bites appy, moderate portion but pretty good. Had the seafood nachos and flounder sandwich. Flounder was good portion and tasty. Great atmosphere and good food quality. Service was good too. Will be back.

Stopped into this small local dive bar and had a really solid experience. It only took a few…read moreminutes to get our drinks, and the service stayed quick and attentive even with food coming out of the kitchen. The bartender was awesome super friendly and gave great recommendations that definitely paid off. We tried the crab dip, and that was a standout. It's made with real crab and has a great crab-to-cheese ratio (not overly heavy like some places). Everything we ordered came out hot and fresh, which is always a big plus. The atmosphere was fun and laid-back, with early 2000s hits playing across all genres--kind of nostalgic in the best way. One thing to note: there is a bag ID and security check before entering, which might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it, but it didn't slow things down much. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for good food, fast service, and a relaxed dive bar vibe. Would definitely come back. 18% auto gratuity No military discount Good drinks Good food

Stopped in after dinner for a little night cap. The live music caught my attention and won me over…read more I got in and hit the bar. Though there was a crowd it's easy maneuvering between bars to get a drink. The band that was performing was pretty good as well. I hope the residential developments don't affect their ability to continue to have live music into the night.

Family and kid friendly space with interactive games and toys. Even with a good number of people around, it was fairly quiet and relaxing. The bartender was friendly, gave good food recommendations, and the drinks were perfect for a warm, sunny day out at the oceanfront. We ordered the crab dip that came with pretzel bites, a nice twist on the typical dip. It was a favorite with everyone at the table. As well as the Animal burger, Philly cheesesteak, and crab legs. Great bucket margaritas and piña coladas. Friendly service, good food with reasonable pricing, refreshing drinks, and chill ambiance. Will definitely visit again!

Several people had reservations and I wish I had made one too. Next time, I will. We definitely had to wait for a table. There were only 2 servers. Our waitress was very very nice but service was definitely slow. I feel bad even saying anything because she was so nice but very busy. Forgot a few things but never seemed flustered or rushed. We ordered 2 pizzas and a pasta with meat sauce. It was delicious. The pizza crust was thin and crispy. Pasta was cooked perfectly. We did get bread and it was okay. Nothing special. But the everything else was delicious. Make a reservation and enjoy the food.

So I cannot remember the bartenders name. I am told its Ashley, but I do not believe it. Either…read moreway she had a huge personality and the place was like a cheers situation where everyone knew everyone and if they didn't they all talked to you anyway. I personally Did not take pictures because I was told it is scheduled to close and be demolished come the end of the year so I am sad about that. I was there a few years ago and had to seek it out this trip as well. Now the food. The seafood pasta deluxe was worth it. The stuffed mushrooms I would have again. I personally was not a fan of the Rockefeller oysters, the raw oysters were better and I am not a typical fan of raw seafood. But I would do the raw oysters way before the Rockefeller once again my opinion. The drinks had a great balance. Keep hope alive and hopefully their legacy lives on.

We came here because we saw they had great reviews and we wanted somewhere close to the beach that…read morewe could walk to. When we came in, we were seated immediately and service was very nice. Our waitress, Tina, was very nice and attentive and we were able to order our food right away. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was a little dark and coastal/beach/seafood themed. There were also a lot of flies but I wasn't too turned off because it's the summer and I know flies can sneak in. What did turn me off was that we ordered theraw oyster appetizer and found a hair in one after I ate one. I told Tina and she said the manager took it off our tab. Then I went to eat another one and found another hair. Very disappointed and disgusted. It ruined our meal. We also ordered the shrimp basket where the shrimp were huge but in my opinion lacked flavor but my husband ordered the fried flounder and it was delicious! They also add an automatic 18% gratuity.

We stumbled upon Mahi's the very first night when we arrived in Va Beach... which was on late on a…read moreThursday. We just wanted to drink and our bartender Mike (hope that is his name) understood the assignment! We loved his personality so much that we came back just for him the next day. We took advantage of their lunch menu and ate from that menu. They have a happy hour which we took advantage of every single day; the drinks were not watered down and they allowed you to take them to-go. Mahi's was literally our go-to spot on the beach. Ambiance is that of a beach restaurant. One side is giving beach vibes and the other is screaming I am trying to remain sophisticated. For the girlies who love to dress to impress you'll be the star of the show here but do it! Fine "fine" dining is just not what Va Beach is known for so Mahi's is the spot to be pretty. Shine girl shine! We loved this place and although we attempted to try other spots our tastebuds kept us coming back. Let's get into it! Mahi's Rocks is their rendition of Oyster Rockefeller - The best he's ever had and I'd say pretty darn good! Ordered them every day we went. Fresh Fish of the Day - Mahi Mahi made medium and it was PERFECT! Seafood Pasta - I came and got this exact meal twice in a row. I'm not a fan of scallops and asked for crab. It was the best pasta I've had in a long time. Blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich - So GOOD! Ate it all! That's telling. Mahi's Smash Burger - He LOVED IT! Drinks were always perfect! Thanks to Mahi's for feeding us well! Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!

The spam musubi were good but the nori didn't sit long enough to have a clean bite without it tearing through the rest of the wrapping. Coconut shrimp were actually very tasty and a great crunch, but the coconut dipping sauce was a bit overwhelming in flavor. I think a savory sauce would complement it best. Pork lumpia, delicious! The shrimp and mahi tacos were ok... it could have used more depth with the slaw and again there seem to be an other sweet sauce. Paired with the Mahi was good but with the shrimp overpowering. My son loved the Huli Huli chicken it definitely had the Hawaiian barbecue flavor, was tasty! The drinks were strong all around the table! I'd return, but would probably stick to appetizers as the flavor for those was better than entrees.
