    Happy hour menu
    Liz V.

    I went back with my bestie for (happy hour) we both went for all you can eat crab legs. They were good, we got the mixed vegetables as our side... very good see my picture! The bartender was so nice, he and the 2nd one that relieved him. The restaurant views.from the bar were beautiful this fall. We will go back soon!!!

    I love Mahi's. They have a really nice patio area and outdoor bar that is bumping in summer and there is usually live music outside in the middle area between them and Chic's. The menu is large and full of seafood and other items to satisfy those who don't like fish. I especially love their steamed shrimp bc it's served in like a white wine sauce or something that is SO good. Very large and delicious shrimp too. I craved it while pregnant and got it all the time. They have a nice and various menu with a kid's menu with a killer burger and fries - like, legit if she doesn't eat it I'm going to. Service is always kind and the inside is pretty. I'm a fan. It's not fine dining, but it's a nice spot at the beach for lunch or dinner.

    We walked about 15 blocks to get here on a rainy night. It was cozy inside and not too many people around 7pm on a Tuesday. Our server was great; she took our drink and app order within a few minutes. The sushi was beautifully rolled and tasted fresh. The seafood pasta stood out; a balance of sauce and flavor. The namesake fish was flaky and nicely plated. Great choice for sushi enthusiasts and casual diners.

    Blackened Fish Tacos

    It was a busy night but we had great service for our party of 6! The blackened fish tacos were loaded up and delicious. Although just a side, the fries were also SO amazing -- pro tip ask for extra old bay to dip the fries in! Not to mention the key lime crush which was probably the drink I've ever had. Cannot recommend it enough! The vibes were great, there were vines draped around and the view of the beach really set the vibes even though it's February. 5/5 loved it!

    Maryland-Style Crab Cake Lunch and Dinner Menu

    Mahi is a solid boardwalk spot with a chill vibe and a great view -- perfect for a nice day at Virginia Beach. Service was one of the highlight of my visit. My server, Ashley, was incredible, super friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. I went with the Maryland-style crab cake (as a Marylander myself), and while it didn't quite match true Maryland standards, it was still enjoyable cant be too picky. The succotash wasn't really my thing, but the mashed potatoes were a win. Drinks were on point, well mixed, no skimping, and actually strong in the best way. Overall, Mahi is a laid-back spot right off the boardwalk where you can grab a good drink and a decent meal. It didn't blow me away, but I'd absolutely come back next time I'm in town.

    An overall excellent experience at Mahi's from the management, our waiter, wait times, food and drinks. I had walked in on a Sunday, mid-afternoon asking to speak to a manager about a last minute reservation that evening to accommodate 20-25 people. Shay was absolutely great to work with and told me our tables would be ready at the time requested. We were sat in a back room with plenty of space amongst everyone. Our waiter Zach was awesome handling our entire party throughout our time there and he had a great personality. Everyone was very happy with their meals and drinks. Their crab dip is delicious, so good that I just ended up eating a spoonful of it. Sushi is always fresh. We would happily be back again!

    Inside the Doubletree on the beach. Indoor and outdoor seating. Extensive menu with surf n turf and sushi. I didn't try the sushi. I'm into shareables and they were impressive. Almost fine dining style food however you walk into the restaurant and the decor and seating are plain and simple. The waiter we had was amazing and welcoming. The new fashioned drink may be one of my favorite drinks ... basically an old fashioned but with tequila. The ice cream cookie is also recommended.

    Mahi's was all around an amazing dining experience! I would 100% recommend this place and hope to be back soon! Things I loved: -We were greeted immediately as we entered the establishment -Our server, Lauren, was attentive, professional, and kind -The photographer who takes pictures of your party ($20 per framed photo or $45 for a set of 3) -THE FOOD (seriously this was the best and most fresh poke bowl I have ever had + the sushi was amazing) -The atmosphere was quiet and the restaurant was aesthetically pleasing (we sat inside, but there is also seating outside) -The virgin Pina Colada (so refreshing after a long day at the beach) Things I didn't love: -N/A

    Oysters were not fresh, yet, they were as advertised: raw. Pre-shucked, we found them dry. We would not go back for oysters on the half-shell even if they offered free rye. The entrees were good and our server Amber deserves a 5. The music was loud which made it difficult to reprise.

    Nice spot near the beach. We came for happy hour and had appetizers with drinks--everything was good. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is more upscale modern.

    Great fun little brunch spot. Stumbled in here right after attending the Virginia Beach farmers…read moremarket on a Saturday. Loved sitting in their back patio on a warm spring day. It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!

Food came out very quick and they easily added things to my order. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Personally I definitely recommend adding an extra egg, jalapeños and cheese. The pancakes were solid too, albeit a bit pricy. The restaurant had great vibes and intentional design. Indoor does have limited seated but there is plenty of outdoor in the front and back. Well worth a visit!

The line moved quickly, and while the food took a little longer to come out, it was clearly made fresh and was flavorful and worth the wait. One thing I appreciated was how dog-friendly the atmosphere is, with dogs welcome both inside and outside. The seating is very much community-style, with shared tables and a family/neighborhood feel. We didn't mind it, but if you prefer more personal space or private seating, the close quarters may not be for you. Breakfast sandwiches were reasonably priced, generally in the $13-$15 range. My only real complaint came when I watched the top of my sandwich fall off while a crew member was moving plates around. The employee picked it up and placed it back on the sandwich with their hand after touching several other items behind the counter. It wasn't enough to ruin the experience, but it did bother me and left an impression. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty, the atmosphere was lively without being too loud, and the dog-friendly environment was a nice bonus.

I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.

    HISTORY ON AN ONION ROLL | THE EYE OPENER CONTINUES TO TEMPT TASTEBUDS, DECADES LATER…read more By Patrick Evans-Hylton For decades, the Belvedere Hotel was more than a place to stay. It was a familiar presence along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, a backdrop for everyday rituals and seaside routines. Tucked inside was the Belvedere Coffee Shop & Diner, a true neighborhood constant since opening in 1969. It was where mornings began with hot coffee and friendly nods, where breakfast and lunch meant dependable comfort, and where the pace of the beach slowed just enough to savor it. When the Belvedere was torn down, it felt like losing a quietly important piece of the Oceanfront's collective memory. That sense of memory carries forward at Belvedere South inside the tony Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel. The new space honors the past without freezing it in time. Bright blue walls set against crisp white instantly recall the diner's cheerful spirit. Large windows allow light to flood the space. Cushy banquettes are a comfortable welcome, inviting you to settle in and linger. The menu stays true to its roots with classic breakfast and lunch dishes that feel familiar and reassuring. Anchoring it all is the legendary Eye Opener sandwich, returned to its rightful place as both signature and symbol. In this new setting, the Belvedere legacy lives on, refreshed but recognizable, a reminder that some traditions deserve to be carried forward with care and confidence. The Eye Opener remains the heart of the menu, and one bite explains its legend. A perfectly fried egg anchors the sandwich, its yolk just rich enough to soften the layers beneath. From a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, we chose the latter; each brings its own salty, savory character. Melted cheese binds everything together, draping the egg and meat in comfort. All of it is tucked into a lightly toasted onion roll that adds a gentle sweetness and just enough bite to stand up to the fillings. Chef Ray Ray Labuen, who wore the tall toque at the former Belvedere, is closely tied to the Eye Opener its careful steward. Then there are the tomatoes, the detail that elevates the whole affair. Thick slices are grilled, seasoned lightly, and finished with a generous snowfall of parmesan cheese. As they cook, the tomatoes soften and turn luscious while the cheese melts and lightly browns, creating a savory crust that clings to the fruit. They are warm, juicy, and deeply flavorful, adding richness and balance to the sandwich. It is indulgent without being heavy, familiar yet special, and exactly the kind of dish that earns its name at the Oceanfront. We also enjoyed rich, creamy grits and a damn fine cup of coffee. Service was exceptional. - I've been covering the cuisine scene in Coastal Virginia and beyond for 30-plus years, and have dined out at thousands and thousands times. I base my scores on the SAVORY system, which attributes values to six distinct attributes: Service, Ambiance, Value, Offerings, Repeatability, and Sensory Experience. That translates to 1 star = 59 or below ; 2 stars = 60 - 69 ; 3 stars = 70-79 ; 4 stars = 80-89 ; and 5 stars = 90 or above. Based on that, this restaurant receives my 5 star rating. This is based on a visit on Jan. 7, 2026 - I'm a Johnson & Wales-trained chef reporting on food and foodways in print (magazines, The Virginian-Pilot), television (morning shows, Food Network, WTKR TV-3), radio (PBS, AM 790 WNIS), and more.

The restaurant has a great oceanfront location and the food was good, but our experience was significantly impacted by how staff handled my service dog. We initially sat outside, but constant biting flies made it difficult to enjoy our meal, so we moved inside. Shortly afterward, an assistant manager approached us and attempted to remove us because of my service dog. My dog was clearly identifiable as a service animal, quietly lying at my feet, fully under control, and not bothering anyone. As a Disabled Veteran, I should not have had to explain ADA service animal laws in order to eat breakfast. The burden should not fall on guests to educate restaurant management about federal disability protections. What should have been a happy and memorable morning before my wedding became stressful and upsetting. The issue was eventually resolved, and we were allowed to remain, but only after I had to advocate for my legal rights. Because of that experience, we chose not to return to dine inside the restaurant for the remainder of our stay. The food and location were good, but the lack of service animal awareness by management seriously detracted from the experience. I strongly recommend additional ADA and service animal training for all staff so future guests do not experience the same treatment.

They tried to help with the parking issues, 5 spaces for an entire restaurant is not enough, plus the only handicap spot is not accessible for a van. My entire family of 6 were sat right away and orders taken rather fast. I decided I wanted a waffle but also needed protein. I knew I wouldn't eat much of the waffle but my 11 year old twins would gladly polish it off, so no since I'm getting the two mini waffles and paying the extra $2 per topping. I opted for a side order of two eggs and sausage patties. The order arrived minus my waffle. I was assured it was coming right out. I waited and waited. I had also split my eggs and sausage with my older daughter as her waffle did not come with protein and I knew she would get a headache without eating protein. After all my kids were done eating and my husband only had two bites of his pancakes left, I saw the hostess walk out of the kitchen with the same waffles I ordered. She was acting strangely and slide the waffles behind the bin full of silverware to wrap. She kept looking around and then slid into the booth and started eating away but trying to hide what she was doing. Our server saw her and confronted her. She pointed at our table and the hostess just shrugged and put another huge bite in her mouth. Our server went to her supervisor who then promptly came to us to let us know my waffle was coming, a slight delay in the kitchen. Now the restaurant is almost empty at this point. Why lie. I saw the whole debacle go down with the hostess. My husband even pointed it out and the supervisor replied with oh no, we had two orders in for the same waffle. Really! It's been almost 30 minutes and my food didn't come out. Really! I informed her I was done and no longer wanted the waffle. The server brought it out a few minutes later, and informed I wasn't being charged for the waffle. I had her box it up as I was done and paying. I never ate the waffle, we had drove over an hour to try this place. I won't go back. The food was subpar and nothing to rave about. It's just sad that they have a hostess who wants to shove food in her mouth and staff who are not honest. I will just continue to enjoy the hospitality and great food at Not Another Pancake House in Williamsburg where people always have a smile and care about their customers.
