Second time visiting this spot and it's always a vibe. This time I actually tried a food item and it was delicious. Vegetable potstickers was a great add on to my drink! The drink had a nice punch but it was very refreshing!

Best cocktails at beach ! Bartenders are excited for you to try new things and the bar tapas are almost as good as the drinks !

This place had really good ambiance and was right by the beach about a block away. There's no actual parking lot so either you get lucky with street parking or you might have to go to a paid parking area around the block. I went on a weeknight so it wasn't very crowded at all, but I can see how this place would be crowded during the weekend especially in the warmer months of the year This place is a tapas style restaurant and I really liked that when I told the waitress that I wanted a mocktail, they just asked me for adjectives of what I would want it to taste like and they brought me back an amazing concoction. We got a variety of dishes , including bread, udon noodles, brussel sprouts, and fish. everything was delicious and I would definitely come back here to try more of their dishes!

My husband has been trying to get me to try Pacifica since before they moved into this new location right by Chops in the old Elevensies spot. Well, last night he surprised me with dinner and date night so here we were! I love the inside - not much has changed since they took over this brunch spot - and it's beautiful inside and very open and airy with high ceilings, lots of light and brightness, and gorgeous bathrooms. We sat at one of the round high-tops just off the bar and were taken care of by Paul and Matt who were both absolutely wonderful and sweet and friendly. We tried a range of items: a summer chopped salad, potstickers, butternut curry soup, and the fish of the day - seared tuna with couscous and veggies. My favorite was probably the soup - I also wanted to try their hummus of the day and was bummed to not see the carnitas tacos and BLT salad from an old menu I'd spied online. However, the fact that their specials rotate often with local items and is inventive is my kind'a vibe. There were several items on their specials menu that we had a hard time choosing between - it all sounded so good. I admit to being super impressed by this spot and the service was stellar. Which goes a really long way nowadays. We will be back for sure - for some apps and drinks!

Cheers beer and cocktail

Traveled over 6 hours from Jersey to feast on these delicious tapas!! Recommended by a local a few years ago and every time we are in Virginia Beach we come here!! Was looking forward to getting my all time favorite cocktail the Sparkling Colada!! Disappointed when I asked for the Sparkling Colada and I even said please, was told NO! Request add the Sparkling Colada to your drink menu please!!! Until next time! Highly recommend!

Half-eaten, amazing Charcuterie & Cheese Plate!

Holy WOW!!! What a place! Supremely relaxing vibe. The BEST service, and food to match! Stopped here because the weather has been horrible and it was within walking distance, but not in hotel. What a pleasant surprise! Greeted immediately with, " Sit anywhere!"....such a cozy place..... Ordered drinks and sloppy joe sliders. WOW! Happiness in a mini bun! We then ordered the charcuterie and cheese board. AHMAZINNNNG!!!!!! (I just sang that) It was THAT GOOD. GO HERE. JUST DO. The pickles are all made in-house (we pickles here), best of best charcuterie, and some amazing cheeses! We are only here for one more night, but are still considering going back THERE tomorrow as the highlight of the trip!!

[Late review. Visited September 2025]…read more We visited Virginia Beach and found Esoteric due to its good reviews online. We reserved for an early dinner and we somehow were able to order items from the happy hour menu. We ordered wings from the Happy Hour menu along with cocktails. From the regular menu, we had poutine, black garlic caesar salad, and duck tacos. The food was delicious! The duck tacos were really amazing that I wish I had more space in my stomach to eat more. The poutine was amazing along with the wings. The cocktails were not as great as we hoped. The ambiance was great - quite modern and perfect for a laid back dinner. The service was okay. I think the staff was a little distracted that day.

Eso is easily my favorite restaurant. But my last visit left me with preferring to come back on a…read morespecials night. Chill vibes, hipster/cool ambiance, delicious if not a bit pricy food, hit or miss service. Came here most recently to celebrate a combination of the end of the shutdown & date night on a Friday night round 8pm or so. Maybe should've gotten a table instead of sat at the bar. Service other times have been great during Last Meeting of the Day (their HH), specials nights (went during Wing & Whiskey Wednesday), & an after shifty cocktail but spending $100 between two people left a bit more to be desired hospitality wise. Like I said, hit or miss... sometimes you feel like you're bothering someone for a check other times they're pretty friendly. Food was tasty. $35 catch of the day was rockfish; cooked perfectly, on a bed of wild rice pilaf (?) & sautéed squash & apple. Licked that plate clean. Extra dirty gin martini, though I'd recommend ordering from their fun seasonal cocktail menu. My partner got the $19 chicken sammie with truffle fries with the house root beer. Rootbeer was flat so was taken off the check but had nothing but good things to say about the sando. Either way.. great for a chill but kinda fancy, IYKYK kind of experience.
