    Consistent experience! Stopped in for lunch with a few co-workers and we had a wide spread of entrees. Everything came out at the same time and everyone enjoyed their meal. Service Was on point. The pizza was good. Will keep them in the rotation.

    French Onion Soup
    Marilyn S.

    Updating my previous review. The French Onion soup is now on the menu and delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. The food came out quickly. Even though the restaurant was not full mid-afternoon it was loud. But the soup was great!

    Everything about this restaurant is incredible. The staff, the SERVICE, the food. The Chef creates amazing dishes and everything is from scratch. My favorite place!!

    New River Taphouse is easily on my top 5 favorite spots in the area. Whether you're looking to grab a pizza to go, enjoy a meal on the outdoor patio or sit inside at the bar -- the service is always great. A friend and I came here for dinner when we both were unsure of what we were in the mood to eat, and they have such a variety of items it was the perfect pick. We came on a Wednesday, which just so happens to be wine Wednesday! So we grabbed a bottle of Pinot Nior ($18 for the half off deal). We started with some pickle chips (clearly too good for me to even grab a photo of. Oops). They were the perfect size and had just the right amount of batter. For our entrees, I ordered the blackened Mahi tacos with sweet potato fries, and my friend had the Cuban sandwich with regular fries. In the warmer months, I am a sucker for a good fish taco and this one did not disappoint! It had avocado, mango salsa, coleslaw and their boom boom sauce. 10/10. The sweet potato fries were super tasty, too. My friend loved his Cuban, and let me try it since I've never had one! I would definitely order it from here. The mix of pork and ham, with perfectly melted cheese ... mmmmm! We sat right by the window on a gloomy day. They have a cute bridge with seats on it outside, and there's a water fountain in the middle of the pond. Very cute. I'd love to come back and sit on the bridge next time!

    MEATLOAF DINNER

    Found this place randomly on Apple Maps. And we didn't want fast food. Something decently priced. Oh my oh my did my tastebuds explode of pure goodness. I third wheeled my girl friend & her boyfriend. Boy did we CRUSH our plates. It was a bit busy so the waitresses were scrambling but they did attend to us as much as they could. Soft lighting in there , loved it tbh, people couldn't see me crushing my food. Jk. There was no hiding that, I was def SEEN. #WillComeBack #ComeHereInsteadOfTheBeach #EatEatEat #GoodFoodOnly

    Delicious cocktails / espresso martinis

    We had a wonderful dinner here with a lovely ambiance. The menu offered an impressive range of choices. Each dish we tried was excellent, beautifully presented, and generously portioned without being overwhelming. The beverage selection was equally outstanding. The beer list featured a well-curated mix of familiar favorites and unique selections, and the cocktails served throughout the evening were beautifully crafted. Whether you're looking for something classic or something a bit more adventurous, there was plenty to choose from. Service was excellent as well: attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed throughout the evening. As soon as a dish was finished, she would be there to clear it, and drinks were replenished and refills offered with perfect timing. My only (very small) complaint would be the lighting. The wall sconces were positioned in a way that left bright spots in my eyes, making it a bit difficult to comfortably look across the table at my companion. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience, and we will definitely be back.

    So let's just start off by acknowledging our waitress, she was very polite caring and was happily dealing with all my questions as this was my and other party of (6) time being here. The vibe is laid back not to loud not lo low good place to grab a bite to eat, date night vibe, and just have an excellent dinner and did I meant ion watch football!

    Solid food selection with beer, wine and cocktails. Large food portions given so save some room or share so you don't waste food.

    When can we dine on the bridge? Every time we try it's not open?

    Thanks for the inquiry, we are in the process of finalizing replacing the all the boards on the bridge and hopefully it will be ready by next week.

    Is there gluten free options here?

    I know they have a gluten free pizza crust but not sure of other menu options

    Does this place have full bar options?

    Yup!

It looks like they do quite a bit of take out. We were sat immediately and our waitress was very helpful. We got the small basilico salad and spaghetti with meat sauce. Everything was delicious. The sizes were recommended and they were huge and more than enough!! I love the build your own pasta so you literally pick your pasta, sauce, protein and veggies. It's like a family style and I would love to go with a group and we all share. They also have a happy hour. I will definitely be back. Now....my 92 year old mothers complaints. 1. It was too cold. We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

It was a beautiful evening. Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.
