I loved my visit to the Ice House Restaurant…read more It's definitely got a dive bar atmosphere, but trust me the food is solid and the portions are generous. We struggled to get seating at any of the restaurants near the beach for dinner, but this place was roomy and comfortable to sit down for dinner. I got the fish, and I was really impressed by the quality and the value for the price. The menu had a little bit of everything for everyone. The service was so friendly, especially because they accommodated us having a toddler needing a high chair. We thought this was a great unexpected surprise not too far from the beach.

Very simple, no frills restaurant and bar with great food…read more We had excellent and speedy service. Our server notified us about various specials and deals they offer on select days including their enticing rib special. I had a steak and while it wasn't the best I'd ever had it was very good. The sides and appetizers we ordered were also quite good and the potato skins were definitely not your average frozen, ordered off a truck variety. My wife and toddler both enjoyed their meals and had a very good time as well. The staff was engaging with my daughter and seemed to be very good with children. Parking was a bit limited, but we did not have trouble finding a space on the date we visited. The entrance and parking are on the rear side of the building if you are using gps to find it. Overall this is a place that punches above its weight class in both price and decor. It's not fancy, but the food is better than many places pretending to be much fancier and you're not paying for decorations or expensive wall and floor coverings. I can't wait to go back for their rib night, I have been told by many friends that they are very good.

We've attended special wine pairing dinners,…read moredate nights for two, day-time tastings, the yearly warehouse sale, as a guest of large parties, and as a host of large parties. Yiannis always gets it right no matter what is thrown at them. The optional chef's choice offering (similar to Japanese omakase) provides a relaxing, catered-to experience when decision fatigue is high. We love the subtle Greek twist on the dishes, particularly how well it works with the lamb lollipops. While the food is amazing, the incredible service is what keeps us returning. It is always impeccable, with knowledgeable servers and eager sommeliers, and Yiannis himself frequently stopping by. We were even treated to a tour of the kitchen on our first visit. It is this above and beyond attitude that always makes me recommend Yiannis.

I would like to preface this with the fact that we went on a Wednesday night so maybe their weekend…read moredining is better Food: For appetizers we got the mussels. The broth was flat and still had a wine taste to it. When I told the owner, he agreed that the wine taste was overpowering and told me they got a new chef who tried a new recipe and that they will go back to the old recipe. For entrees I got the lamb chops with risotto and she crab soup. The lamb was very tender but the flavor was lacking. It was also luke warm. The she crab soup was good but too salty. The owner also acknowledged that as well. The risotto was okay. Nothing special. My husband got the grilled bronzino and broccolini. I tried some and I liked the taste but he said it could have used more flavor. Broccolini was steamed and I wish they had grilled it instead. The bread pudding was the star of the entire meal. It was made of donuts. It was moist, sweet, and delicious. Drinks: We got a bottle of champagne and two cocktails. Drinks were all very good Service: This is probably why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3. The service was very good. First, they called me prior to my reservation and asked if they could pre-chill any wine or champagne for my husband's birthday and I was very appreciative of that. When we got there, our drinks came out a little slow but our waiter comped that immediately. Throughout the night, the owner checked in on us several times and that stood out to me. Overall I will come back once they fix some things with the new chef. Hopefully the food will get better

My daughter and I were craving Clam Chowder so we decided to stop by Lucky Oyster. We were greeted…read moreby a few young ladies as soon as we walked in and were able to be seated right away. I absolutely love all the fishing decor in the restaurant, it makes for a fun atmosphere. We started with the Clam Chowder and unfortunately, neither of us enjoyed it. It definitely didn't taste like the normal Clam Chowder that we like, it had somewhat of a vinegar taste that made it very unpleasant. I replaced mine with the She Crab Soup and even though it tasted okay, it was room temperature and not hot at all. Lukewarm She Crab Soup is not very appetizing lol. Since our soups didn't quite hit the spot, we also ordered the Southern Fish Fry, which was very good. The fish was fresh and piping hot. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to really love Lucky Oyster but this experience definitely missed the mark for me. I'm sure I'll be back but probably not anytime soon.

We made a…read morereservation and this is a *must*, this is a very small dining room and every table was full during our visit (on a Saturday evening). We started with a round of cocktails that proved to be tasty and well-made. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and indulged our really chatty table's need for more time, over and over- whoops. We skipped an appetizer but the options on the menu looked delicious! The wine list was fairly modest but hit all the necessaries and we settled on a few bottles of chianti. Yep, a few bottles. It was one of those nights! As we awaited our entrees, we could see into the kitchen and there was a chef back there making pasta by hand- they are not lying about that! The mood in the restaurant was friendly, a bit low lit for ambiance but still bright enough to see your neighbors. I would call the vibe "neighborhood bistro" and it had this REALLY warming effect on a chilly, rainy evening. Tables were all full but no one was seated right on top of each other, there was plenty of room to stretch and converse privately. Because I am a masochist and am avoiding gods favorite food (pasta) I ordered the steak. It was served along side roasted potatoes and a rocket salad. The steak arrived at perfect temperature and was seasoned magnificently. I'll admit I am a salt girl- I did not not have add a speck of salt or pepper, it already tasted amazing. I certainly did not feel like I'd missed out by not getting the pasta, even if it did look incredible. My husband got a pasta dish with sausages, and he kept raving about how much sausage was in it and how delicious the sauce was. Our friends got a copy of my husbands dish and the salmon with lemon sauce pasta except my friend requested chicken be substituted and the chef indulged her request! They were equally enamored with how well their dishes turned out. All in all, this was an unexpected delicious find and we WILL be back again!

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!!!!!

It has more of a cute atmosphere and a nice place to go if you want to get semi dressed up like business casual. Overall I haven't had the best cuisine on Virginia Beach. The food has just been okay. I tried the crab stuff shrimp for an appetizer but I would skip that particular appetizer because you only get 3 small shrimp for $17. Not worth the price at all! It literally looked like they just placed some crab cake on top of three pieces of shrimp. Nothing worth wild. As for my main meal I got the poke bowl with cooked tuna. The tuna was okay but I enjoyed the other ingredients in the bowl better than the tuna. One thing I did like about this restaurant is that they had someone coming around taking photos so my sister and I got some very cute photos with our dad.

My dad and I went down there just to charge his car and decided to check out the area while the car was charging. They had the Tulu seaside bar and Grill. This bar was outside overlooking the ocean, which is really nice. They also had a great seating area at the bar as well as a few feet down. You can just sit on the grass or sit in the chairs and overlook the ocean at the bar they offered food and drinks we decided to get two tequila sunrises. The drinks were great. Could've been a little stronger, but they were delicious to say the least the people were very friendly and attentive to us offered to get us some water for our dog, which is really nice. They were very quick with serving us so that was really appreciated. I probably will stay at the Marriott the next time. I am in Virginia Beach oceanfront for all of their attractions that they do have around the hotel as well as how nice the hotel is inside. I think it'll be a great time if you are in Virginia Beach oceanfront, and you want to have a nice place to stay or just wanna have a place to chill out I would suggest the Marriott on the offer Valley parking they offer charging for electric vehicles. They have two different bars around the area so it's a great time and great place to stay.

If you go in a group of 10 or more, it all goes on 1 check which is probably standard, but it made it a little awkward at the end. Last gripe was we asked for a photo of our table and they charged $20 on the bill. Other than that, The food was good and the service wasn't too bad for a packed Friday. The decor and restaurant was very pretty. I didn't get any photos of any of the food because everyone was starving. The shrimp and pesto pizza wasn't too bad. The shrimp didn't seem like fresh were close to water shrimp. More like bagged but it still tasted good. The cheese pizza was also pretty flavorful. The steak was really good. Highly flavorful and there were large asparagus spears that were also good. Brussels were very good and had a sweet taste to it. The salmon was very good as well and cooked perfectly.
