What a beautiful club that is so much nicer than many clubs around the country. They let me in but…read morethey did vet me first. Had a couple beers and met the Cherry family. They were super charming. Ran into Mr Johnstone of J boats fame. Great conversation. Good beer. Good service. Beautiful views with the giant windows. And it appears that they support some major sailing events which is a huge plus in my book.

Well maintained private member club off of Hampton Blvd in Norfolk. Indoor and outdoor amenities…read moreinclude multiple pools, tennis courts, corn hole boards, workout facility, boating docks, adult beverage bar, counter service cafe with HDTV and seating, foosball table plus more. There's an entire building that's the perfect private event venue - weddings, reunions, galas and graduation parties. Crowds are common at the beginning of Summer and seasonal events, creating a domino effect on your overall experience - less available parking, less poolside space/seating, longer lines for bar and food service. The Niçoise salad I had yesterday was ok but nowhere near as good as the fresh ahi tuna steak in sesame glaze I had last August.

I had never stayed in Hampton before but it was convenient to get to work there were some good restaurants minutes away the hotel restaurant and breakfast was fine. I am not sure I would walk around too much late at night. But that's a lot of places.

A hidden gem in Chesapeake for sure! I personally loved my experience there at Riverview; my best…read morefriend had her wedding reception there not too long ago and it was absolutely beautiful. They have a huge event space that you can rent out for anything, and it faces out onto the water which was a gorgeous view. I also did personal training here with Sierra Meacham and for anyone looking for a personal trainer but doesn't know where to start, like I was, I highly HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sierra even just for a talk. She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals! She kept pushing me to my PRs are farther:) She is so understanding and takes every problem I had whether it was with meal-prepping or weight-lifting posture hesitancies and how to overcome. I highly recommend her but definitely reach out and check in with her! She can book up quickly because of how awesome and thorough she is with her clients!! She can also guide you through the different rooms in Riverview such as the redlight therapy and saunas and what not and the importance of them on the body physically and mentally. They also have networking nights and people with different small businesses or want to get out there with the public and socialize I highly recommend checking in when the next night is and go... it's a lot of fun 100/10 recommend!! #personaltraining #mealprep #she'llsetyoustraight! #networking

So we have been here twice now. I'm going to give each one separately:…read moreFirst time: Came in after a VA Stage show so kinda late. Sat at the bar. Service was absolutely awesome. Bartender was incredibly attentive for having a full bar. We each had 2 different cocktails and both were distinctive and excellently crafted. We had shared a couple of the small plates and enjoyed them both. We enjoyed the place so much that we decided to come back with a group of 14 for All Lovers Eve. Second time: Made the reservation with ease. If you've ever made a group reservation you know how complicated some places make it. This was a large group and they were short handed. This lead to a slower service which actually worked out well for our group. We didn't mind the gaps. They put us in their back room (hint - GREAT for groups) there was a little confusion with the order to include an extra dish we didn't order. We still ate it and paid for it though. The staff was great with our large and rather disruptive group. The food was all excellent (local oysters on the half shell and the apple desert were my highlights). Multiple cocktails that were all wonderful. My only real negative was that there was a $50 "loyalty club " charge that was never mentioned and I didn't even notice on the $1200.00 bill. This is, I believe, some sort of credit card fee. Both times were good. Both times staff were wonderful. Both times we were comfortable. Give the place a try. I don't think you will regret it.

However, I called 508 locals to see if they had any availability. The hostess told us to come on through. When I pulled up it wasn't too busy. They were welcoming and sat us right away. We had an awesome waiter. Judging from his accent, he was from Ireland. He was great. Very enthusiastic and attentive. I was pretty hungry. I ordered the crab cakes (great sauce and aioli), Brussels (hot honey with goat cheese and cranberries), junglebird drink (delicious, it wasn't overly sweet), and ribeye. All delicious. I was not disappointed. It was such a chill place. It wasn't overly loud. It was clean. I recommend.

People who were supposed to help set up and stuff didn't end up showing and they stepped up and handled so much. They really took the stress off.

Highly recommend renting this space!

Absolutely loved my first visit to Coalescence Coffee! This spot is more than just a coffee shop…read more It's a nonprofit community hub where everyone's welcome, and you really feel that vibe the moment you walk in. There's tons of space for remote work, community meetings, or just hanging out, and I noticed several groups using the open, airy cafe for coworking and conversation. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Monticello breakfast sandwich (with sausage, egg, cheddar, arugula, and a delicious aioli on an English muffin) and their Brown Sugar No. 05. A creative blend of brown sugar, rosemary, cinnamon, espresso, milk, and a hint of orange bitters. It was unique, refreshing, and seriously addicting! My friend went for the brown sugar latte and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, which she loved. I was so interested in their nonprofit work, and after a quick website visit, I learned that Coalescence creates space for all kinds of community groups to gather and learn together, partnering locally and globally to lift up important work. Events, co-working, and shared community workspace are all available, with donors and volunteers supporting the mission so this resource keeps growing. If you're looking for great coffee, delicious food, or just a welcoming place to connect, this is it. Can't wait to come back!

Couldn't find parking on street in front but they have large parking lot in back. Came just for coffee so didn't get to try their food offerings. They appear to take coffee serious here (with weight to measure out ingredients). I asked if they had coffee menu and shown menu on wall. But they actually had signature coffee menu at cash register that had some interesting drinks. Worth coming to get good coffee.

My husband and I decided to check out this spot after a quick chat with the chef!…read moreThe menu is small but inviting. We started with the artichoke dip, and my husband loved the bread so much he wanted to eat it on its own. He went with the Bacon Ranch Sammich, while I opted for the Double Smash Burger--both were absolutely delicious! The bartender/manager was super laid-back, and we ended up chatting with him the entire time. The venue also hosts concerts, making it a unique addition to Norfolk. It's a clean, well-run establishment with a fantastic concept!

So I have had the pleasure of not only attending shows at the venue but also performing in them. On…read morethe attendance side I love going to shows here the crowds aren't cute but they aren't tiny either and the space is perfect. I have seen many burlesque shows here and it's always a good time I never feel like the music is too loud which I get at some other venues or that the lights are too crazy. I also appreciate that the venue is very accessible to people who have a disability and need accessibility. It has gender neutral bathrooms and a snack bar where everything is a dollar and honestly what can you get for a dollar these days, not much. On the performing side the backstage area is smaller but still very easy to fit multiple people in and their gear. There is also a booth where you can run sound and lights and has a great sound system and lighting system built in. I highly recommend you check out any show that is there I know they have a burlesque show coming up on December 10th 2022. They also host open mic nights, poetry slams and other epic events that I highly recommend checking out.
