My friend and her family had me tag along to the birthday celebration and I got to enjoy some delicious shrimp basket and cajun fried rice. The service was friendly and accommodating albeit on the slower side of things. The clam chowder is something that can be skipped the next time. It was gluey and I only found one piece of potato in the whole thing. Super disappointing. The seafood boil tasted delicious and I wouldn't mind ordering my own batch the next time around.

You can also ask for extra seasoning on the side and they have cocktail and tartar sauce which was good. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Checking out and paying was easy. We all left full. They also offered military discounts. There's plenty of parking out front and it's close to the mall. Check them out!!

The setting right on the Lynnhaven River is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxed but lively. They have a great bar with delicious drinks, and the food is always on point.

Great vibes, great views, great food. Highly recommend The Porch if you're looking for a classic Virginia Beach waterfront experience.

I gave up and went to the bar. No joke. Food was good but holy crap worst service.... Until the end for the burn. When we finally got water we sat with empty glasses... long enough for me to go to the bar and get refilled and still not see her. Even my son went to the bar for a freakn soda. All of a sudden a table of 6 sat next to us for her to attend and we got our plates removed while my husband was still pulling the food off his plate. Dishes weren't fully clean- I'm being told by my husband and son- and apparently a white hair and residual of soy sauce or something so dishwasher step up your game. I dunno man- 6 years ago we came and hated the service and the food was bland. We came today for our anniversary dinner with an attempt for redemption - service continued to suck, bartender was a bad @$$- food was better than last time. Oysters were clean- so maybe next time we will just sit in the bar. My kid said for the gen A - "overall bunions service; good food- vibe chill but What's the deal with all these flies inside !!!???

I first visited Blue Seafood & Spirits over 10 years ago when they were brand new for a Yelp Elite…read moreTasting Event, and this was my first time back for a full meal. I had high expectations, and somehow they still exceeded them. They're the highest rated seafood restaurant in the Virginia Beach area on Yelp, and for good reason. There was even a small wait on a Wednesday night, which honestly told me everything I needed to know before we even sat down. Our server, Jenny, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and always seemed to show up right when we needed something. The head chef also stopped by our table and was incredibly kind and genuinely invested in making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. That level of hospitality really made the experience feel special. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche of roasted golden beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic. It was a classy little bite that got the evening off to a great start. Then came the sweet potato biscuits with apricot jam...listen, I could've eaten an entire basket of those and been perfectly happy. For my entrée, I ordered the crab cakes with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. These are the kind of crab cakes people are looking for. They were packed with lump crab, full of flavor, and had virtually no filler. Every bite was delicious. From start to finish, everything was on point. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a team that clearly cares about what they're serving. It took me over a decade to make it back, but I can promise it won't be another ten years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

My wife and I took advantage of Norfolk's Restaurant Week to enjoy a romantic evening, coupled with great service from a very attentive waiter. $45 each for a 3-course meal in a intimate cozy dark setting with great jazz music in the background. 1st course, she had the marvelous She Crab Bisque, especially the hint of sherry. Perfect. I enjoyed the four Fried Oysters, Fried flawlessly without the bivalves becoming rubbery. 2nd course, my wife enjoyed the Peri-Peri Chicken Penne. The breast of chicken was moist throughout, not dry. The penne pasta with the Romesco Cream Sauce was very creamy and delicious says my better half. I tried the Fried Catfish. A bed of creamy Grits; then some Braised Collards stewed perfectly with a surprise - pieces of Ham Hock meat imbedded - on top of the Grits; then on the very top a perfectly fried huge piece of Catfish filet with Key Lime Remoulade sauce on the side. A pretty presentation. If you like Catfish, this is a wonderful entrée. It still amazes me how the food I grew up on as a son of the South - except for the remoulade - is now haute cuisine. I also ordered for dinner a Perfect Manhattan made with Maker's Mark. The bartender was spot-on, a great cocktail. My wife enjoyed a glass of crisp dry California Pinot Grigio with her meal. Our 3rd and final course was the creamy death-by-chocolate chocolate mousse for me, while she enjoyed the wild berry sorbet that was palate cleansing and delicious. By the way, the restaurant also has a Speakeasy type bar area downstairs. Our romantic evening went perfectly. Norfolk Seafood Company is one of my favorite places to dine in Norfolk.
