While exploring the city of Norfolk, we came to this restaurant to grab lunch. There was an adjacent parking garage that had 2 hours of free parking. The restaurant was located on first floor of the Hilton hotel. The interior of the place was immaculate. The dining space, corner booths all were designed so nicely. There was also a full service bar and a seafood raw bar for guests to sit and dine. From the menu we ordered charbroiled oysters, crab cake sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich and Maine lobster roll with clam chowder soup. All of the dishes were well made and had good taste. I also liked the grapefruit soda NA drink. Our server Haleigh was so amazing. I wish all servers took a course from her on how to converse and treat guests in a restaurant. Our dishes also came out in short time. Overall we had a fantastic lunch here and were very happy with our pick. read more

Nice ambiance in the restaurant. Mermaid theme as Virginia's symbol. Staff were very friendly. Street parking. Crab cake was good. Chicken sandwich had a thick piece. A little hard to chew. Truffle fries had good flavor but came out cold. Clam chowder was ok. Not my fav. It tasted a little weird. Despite the upscale decor and excellent service, I'm not impressed with the food. read more

Amazing for a Saturday late lunch. Our waitress was accommodating and patient with the delayed arrival of our dining party. The outstanding service was consistent throughout our visit. We started with a tray of raw oysters from various locations. It is amazing how different they are. I recommend trying an assortment. She Crab soup was a superb compliment the Lobster roll I ordered. It was nicely loaded with lobster. All of my party enjoyed the venue and cuisine. I highly recommend Saltine. read more

Our party of four ate here during Operation Sail and had a range of dishes. The restaurant is dark paneled with high ceilings and really does not feel like a hotel restaurant. 1. Oysters were well priced with a great selection 2. Fried calamari and banana peppers. Gone in about 10 seconds. 3. Hush puppies served piping hot. Ditto. Main dishes were: 4. Bronzed grouper. Possibly the best piece of fish I've had in a restaurant. 5. Blackened wahoo. Well presented and tasty. 6. Crab cake. Not a standout but good. Dessert was chocolate lobsters filled with mousse. Wow, clever and delicious. Only negatives: bad beer selection (all Budweiser owned brands) and very slow service. Waitress was great but kitchen and bar were not. We didn't get main courses for 90 minutes. Out the door price: $340, including a few drinks but no wine. read more

The food at Saltine has always been good. Their oysters are fresh and flavorful. You can really tell the difference in where each one was sourced. My favorite was probably the ceviche. It was very refreshing. The cocktails are also very complex and have great flavor. I ordered a passion fruit martini and they said it came with a prosecco so that was amazing. The lobster dessert was just ok. It was a little too sweet. Service: On the two times I've been there, service was slow. We had a reservation and ended up waiting 10 minutes for a table because the hostess forgot about us read more

I love the freshness and the quality of the seafood here. My favorite is during happy hour with their cocktail shrimp. It's so yum, it's like they steam it in champagne or something. The cocktail sauce that comes with it has great kick of flavor. The fried shrimp is equally good! The crab cake has little to no fillers, the salad is fresh. Just everything I've had here was top notch for me! You won't be disappointed dining here. read more

One of the best restaurants one can go to on the area - drinks, food, ambiance - all on point. We've never been disappointed.

This restaurant was very flavorful! The waitress was very nice and checked on us regularly. We was concerned when we first looked at the menu since we had a child with us as there was no kids menu but the waitress saved the day! She brought us a kids menu without us having to ask. The restaurant is located inside the Hilton so there was a lot of people but wasn't overly crowded. We probably will not be back but overall it was a great restaurant. read more

I came here for brunch and ordered the Chesapeake Hot Brown & She Crab plus the lemon ricotta pancakes, and overall the food absolutely carried the experience. The she crab soup was thick, creamy, and very flavorful with real chunks of crab throughout. Not watery at all. Definitely one of the better versions I've had locally. The Chesapeake Hot Brown surprised me. The base is a potato cake that somehow stayed crispy even though it's topped with a crab cake and smothered in sauce. I expected it to be soggy but it held up perfectly. It also came with actual bacon slices on top. I thought the menu just meant bacon flavor in the sauce, so that was a really nice touch. Very rich, very satisfying, and I would absolutely order it again. By the time I got to the lemon ricotta pancakes I was already full, but they were good. They're not the thick fluffy diner style. More buttery, almost griddled style pancakes. The ricotta and blueberry compote added flavor without making them overly sweet, which I appreciated. Drinks were solid. I had two mimosas, pineapple for $3 and cranberry for $7. I'm not sure what the price difference was about, but they tasted good and didn't give me a headache so I won't complain. Service was the weakest part of the visit. When we first arrived the hostess was dismissive. We actually grabbed our own menus from the stand because she didn't acknowledge us until we spoke to her. She told us the bar was open and that she would check on table availability but never came back. We ended up seating ourselves at the bar. I also noticed another hostess treat a different group the same way. The bartender was friendly enough, but it took about 45 minutes to take our food order. This was Valentine's Day and there were still a few open seats at the bar, so the place wasn't packed. I'm not sure what caused the delay, but once she engaged she was pleasant. The atmosphere is really nice. Apothecary style bar decor with lots of natural light. It was cold outside but they do have outdoor seating. The bar is well stocked with both popular liquors and harder to find bottles. The bartenders were clearly trained and making real craft cocktails. Overall I would return for the food, especially the Hot Brown and the she crab soup, but the front of house experience could definitely use improvement read more

My son & I decided there would not be any tiring cooking & clean up for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. I searched early and found seating availability for our preferred time at Saltine. I've had Saltine bookmarked for some time. They did not disappoint. It was a lovely & festive entrance to the restaurant Beautiful Holiday Decor and music puts one in the spirit of the season. We were seated when we arrived at a comfy 2 person table next to a window. I had a purse sized window ledge, which I loved. Service was a bit slow. My Vodka Martini was served plain without an olive or a twist. When I requested olives our server took the drink back to the bar to have it completed. A tradition Thanksgiving Menu was offered. We decided against it in favor of a regular menu. Dinner began with 18 Oysters on the Half Shell choosing 4 different varieties from their Raw Bar. Appetizers followed. My Oyster Stew choice was excellent. My son ordered the Smoked Fish dip, which he loved. Entree choices were Virginia Blue Crab Cake Dinner, All Jumbo Lump "Ultimate" Style with Pea & Pancetta Couscous for me and Blackened Mahi with Roasted Garlic Whipped Potatoes for my son. Both made us happy that we had chosen to order from the regular menu. We opted out of the dessert choices as none of the offerings were appealing choices for our palates. Saltine is located in the The Main, a Hilton property on Main Street in Norfolk. Their Valet Parking was the best I've experienced at a Hilton property & I'm a Hilton person. The nicely suited attendant pointed out the path we should follow when picking up my vehicle. The ability to add the tip to the parking fee was quite convenient, eliminating the need for cash. When left my vehicle was parked next to the exit from the hotel into the garage. I would highly recommend Saltine, not just for a Holiday Meal but also for an elegant dinner or Raw Bar visit. It made my Thanksgiving dinner quite enjoyable. read more

Went to saltine during happy hour while waiting for friends to check out Varia's wine tasting. My husband loves raw oysters and Saltine has the best happy hour deal for oysters at 0.75 per oyster. I don't eat them so I get the peel & eat shrimp that are $1 each. The shrimp are huge and seasoned well. Luckily since it was midweek it wasn't as busy as Fridays. We were able to get seats at the oyster bar and only took about 20min to get our order. Definitely a great spot for seafood lovers!! read more

Saltine - Old Bay Peel & Eat Shrimp, Raw Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I ended up at Saltine for a working lunch this week and am glad we did. Our initial plan was a rooftop lunch at Grain, but they were closed for maintenance so we opted for this first floor seafood spot. Saltine is inside the Hilton Main hotel and is accessible via the attached garage or any of the other local hourly garages in Norfolk downtown. It's a beautiful space with a raw bar out front and a welcoming bar. We were seated at a cozy booth in the back. This is definitely the sort of restaurant that is fitting to wine and dine a sweet someone, potential client or customer. Our server was prompt at greeting us and offering beverages while we perused the menu. We also got a chance to look at the weekend brunch menu, and it has me tempted to return on the weekend. For lunch, they offer a range of raw bar options, entrees and sandwiches. What was most impressive was the half and half lunch for $14. You can sample fish tacos or their signature lobster rolls along with a salad, she crab soup or clam chowder. I was jonesing for a nice piece of salmon which I selected on top of the house salad. That salad was very simple but fresh and the salmon was cooked perfectly though slightly under seasoned. Colleagues selections looked delicious and I don't think any leftovers were had! We agreed to share the Chocolate Bomb dessert, not knowing what we were in for. This is a great experience that a family with young children would love. The table is cleared and plastic is placed down. Drizzles of chocolate caramel vanilla and strawberry sauce are rounded out with sprinkles of brownie and crumbled cookie. Finally, a flying chocolate bowl of ice cream makes an impressive splash in the center. Ice creams were very tasty though I didn't care much for the cookie or brownie bits. Service throughout was prompt and attentive. The food was delicious! This was my first visit here, and it certainly won't be my last. Looking forward to returning with hubby for a special date night. read more

As part of the "Christmas Food Tour" my mom and I take annually, we decided to check out Saltine inside the Hilton Norfolk the Main. We've visited Grain on Easter Sunday for their huge brunch buffet, so it was time give Saltine a shot. I made reservations right after Thanksgiving and when we arrived, we were seated promptly. It wasn't too busy at the time, but it was filling up since it was lunch time (12:30p). Alison greeted us and quickly took our drink order. Since the Main is still fairly new, Saltine boasts an impressive interior. There are two floors - the second floor houses their private rooms (as noted on their website). We were seated on the first floor and there were 4 two-tops already dining in our section. In addition to the impressive architecture, Saltine was clean and organized. Alison offered her knowledge of the menu for any of our questions. She also explained that they were offering their dinner menu along with a meal prefix that included three courses (which customers could choose from a curated list). The highlight of the prefix was they offered prime rib, which I thought my mom would jump on (but she went another route). We actually took little time to order. Mom ordered for herself the She Crab Soup, we shared an Oysters Rockefeller appetizer, and mom's entree was the Braised & Glazed Short Rib. I had the Bone-in Hereford Ribeye - it was massive (40 oz). The food alone was fantastic. My ribeye was cooked to a perfect mid-rare, mom loved her short ribs and devoured her soup. We both enjoyed the oysters, while none of the food was too salty. In addition to the food, Alison is a fantastic server. She's kind, attentive, is very good at updating you with your food's status, and she was talkative without being loquacious. We had a nice conversation with her about Christmas meal traditions, and she was a hit (upon my observation) with her other tables. Based on this initial visit, Saltine is as excellent as I've been led to believe. Service is top-shelf, food is on point, and their venue is impressive. I think the only drawback was it took them a long time to arrive at my table with my drink order (a pint of Blue Moon). The bar was packed, though, and (as mentioned) Alison kept me informed of the pint's status. Thank you, Saltine, for a wonderful Christmas experience! I look forward to many future visits!

We went for Happy Hour . We ordered Fried Shrimp 4 pieces for $14 we thought was jumbo size but it's a regular size. Fried Calamari was cold tiny bowl. Raw Oysters were ok . The fish dip is the only appetizer we like . The worst part the 4 drinks came after the food . Definitely won't coming back here anymore. read more

They pack this place to the brim! We went for a date and were sat elbow to elbow with both neighboring tables making private conversations impossible. The food was lackluster for the pricing.

April 15, 2026 | Saltine - Downtown Norfolk, VA Stopped into Saltine in downtown Norfolk on Wednesday, April 15th around 5 p.m. and grabbed seats at the oyster bar during happy hour. The place has a great vibe -- lively, energetic, and styled like a higher-end bar/restaurant inside the Hilton. Definitely a solid atmosphere whether you're just grabbing drinks or settling in for a meal. The highlight was easily the oysters. I ordered two dozen for $18 -- that's $9 a dozen -- which is almost unheard of these days. The oysters themselves were good and fresh. Maybe not the absolute best I've ever had, but at that price point, they're hard to beat. We also had the shrimp cocktail, which I believe was around $10. They were peel-and-eat jumbo shrimp, seasoned nicely with Old Bay, and very well done overall. Cocktails during happy hour were also very reasonably priced, which made the whole experience feel like a great value across the board. All in all, a really enjoyable stop. Between the atmosphere, pricing, and solid seafood, this is definitely a place I'll be coming back to next time I'm in Norfolk -- especially for that happy hour. read more

Absolutely fantastic dining experience in the Hilton in downtown Norfolk. First off, our server Lindsey was incredible. We were originally seated in the back dining room but she graciously moved us to the more intimate and luxurious power booth in the main dining room. Inside the vibe is immaculate, perfect dimmed lights, art work and pictures on the walls. Lindsey was attentive and helpful the entire night. The 40oz ribeye was perfect and comes with 3 sides. The apothecary bar was unique hand crafted cocktails, our favorite was the banana old fashioned. read more

I've been reading a lot of reviews lately about Saltine at The Main in downtown Norfolk, and I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about, so today we decided to check them out. Most of the reviews have been about their Happy Hour specials. As a general rule, I don't eat Oysters in the months that do not have "R's" in them, as in any month outside of September through April. I've never gotten sick when eating oysters and I attribute that to my strict adherence to that rule. With that in mind, Saltine offers Happy Hour prices on their oysters for $0.50 each with a minimum order of 6. That was a hard pass for me for the reason stated above but they also offer Peel and Eat Steamed Shrimp for $1 each with a minimum order of 6. This is a great value because they are huge, cooked perfectly and seasoned properly with Old Bay, YUMMY! We also ordered the Fried Calamari and it was delicious as well. The service was good considering how busy they were today. I was a little underwhelmed by the Happy Hour food offerings and there was no option to get anything from the regular menu until 5pm. Overall score of 4.5 rounded down to 4. Would definitely come back! read more

We came here to try there cocktail bar and we were introduced with their happy hour with our server who gave us attentive care and make sure we are able to enjoy ourselves. The menu options are limited not a a lot to choose from beside shrimp and oyster which is fine for me but for those that want a variety of options they do not have them available until dinner time which starts at five but I believe you can order some dinner options And drinks during happy hour our five bucks which is not a bad deal and food options are up to 13 bucks depending on what you get we both the oyster and cocktail shrimp both were super fresh and refreshing and good pairing with the cocktail choice at the bar. Services was good not a long wait evening when it started to get busy was able to get are food and drinks at reasonable time always a plus. This a perfect spot for date night, after work,girls night out with elegant without having to dress nice and layback and the bar is nice with indoor and outdoor seating mainly high top but upstairs is more intimate for anniversary or event to celebrate a birthday . read more

Looking for a restaurant this Sunday before Memorial Day we did a internet search for one of the best restaurants in Norfolk, Based on recent reviews me and my wife made reservations at the Saltine restaurant that appeared to be connected to the Hilton Hotel. It was a terrible experience and the food was horrible. I ordered She Crab soup and the fried Red Snapper. My wife ordered chargrilled oysters for her appetiser with fried oysters as her main course. My She Crab soup was served after about a 40 minute wait. The soup was tasty but very watery with minimum pieces of crab meat. It clearly was not the typical thick soup available in most of the local Norfolk/Virginia Beach restaurants. After about another 10-15 minutes, it was clear they forgot to bring my wife her chargrilled oysters. We summoned the waiter and expressed our displeasure that our appetisers did not arrive at the same time or relatively close together. So we cancelled her appetiser. Shortly after that our main courses were served. Her oysters were warm and almost cold. My Snapper was warm (not hot like most fried fish. The fish was curved around its veggies making it difficult to carve off the bone. I believe the fish was old as the skin was leathery, meat mushy (not flaky) and the Center bone was dry ( not juicy moist) I couldn't eat the fish after turning it over. I took a second photo of the meal I left when I decided to go pick up the car from the garage. When I picked my wife up, she angrily wanted to know why I wasted the market priced fish $59. The meal was a total ripoff! If I had known the old dry fish was so expensive, I wouldn't have left before summoning a manager. Bottom line a restaurant needs to be consistent in serving hot fresh meals to all of its guests all of the time. Old meats should be discarded and nothing should be served beyond its holding times. I've never been served such a terrible meal in such an upscale restaurant! Future Guests beware read more

So I'm hoping this is just an anomaly, but I have to access my experience today accurately. The calamari appetizer showed up lukewarm, borderline cold. Main entree never arrived after almost an hour later and I was this close to walking out. To top it off, when I ordered my second Hendricks martini, I watched the waitress use Bombay Sapphire. Yep, very disappointing especially seeing many other people who arrived after me receiving their food in a timely manner. read more

Not a bad place for a seafood diner experience. Our server was great, very engaged, friendly, and helpful - But the runners were horrible and the execution of their menu was just ok. The menu is loaded with many very nice options and their prices are rather high, so my expectations were rather high to match. Starting with ceviche, it was ok, but far from even midrange of what I've had in the past. Some odd textures and flavors, mostly on the bland side. Their clam chowder is interesting, it seems to be rough-based with a brandy added to it. Hardly any clam or potatoes in it. I did like the flavor of the "soup" part of the chowder, but it's priced really high for not too much substance. I ordered their salad with fried shrimp added. When my order came out, it was a very tiny side salad and the shrimp was simply 4 shrimp served in a side dish. The salad was bland and boring. The shrimp were large and amazing! After I had a few bites of the salad, my server came by and noticed it and said that was the wrong size salad for my order, she immediately corrected this and got me an entrée size salad with extra dressing. This tasted better due to the extra dressing. But those runners - when they brought the food to the table, they were HORRIBLE! Extremely poor servers! They asked who got what (we were a table of 5) and then dropped food in the wrong spots without listening to who ordered which dish then walked away without asking if we had everything we needed. Not sure what their problem was, especially since our server was so much better. Overall, it was a very mixed experience but it seems they have management issues to allow for this mix of service and kitchen experience. I won't return. read more

Located on the street level of the Hilton Norfolk The Main, Saltine is a classic American seafood spot. It offers a fresh raw bar and cooked classics in a dark, classy atmosphere. The Food and Wine During this quick stop, we ordered the raw bar selection. The oysters were fresh, cold, and served with all the standard accoutrements. Drinks: We enjoyed a selection from the broad wine list (available by the glass and bottle), which offered excellent pairings for the briny oysters. Service and Atmosphere Upon entering, we were greeted by a splendid raw bar on the right and an expansive bar on the left. The space features contrasting dark/light tiling, marble surfaces, and warm lighting that creates a sophisticated mood. From the hostess stand to the bartenders, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. Overall A great venue for business meals or date nights for those seeking fresh seafood, an extensive wine list, and professional service. read more

Great cocktails. The bartenders are always on the ball. Nice atmosphere. Check it out!

Maybe they had a bad day, lack staffing, or just weren't prepared for the crowds but the service was subpar. We were sat, placed our order immediately, and then wait 1.5h before we were told it was going to be a 20 minute additional wait for food. We waited a total of 2 hours for subpar food and by the end we were hungry and simply ate it. Our waitress forget to get a second drink from the bar for my mom but told us the bar didn't have clean glasses and that was the wait. The wait on food was because of the kitchen. I'm not sure where the hiccups were, but I haven't had terrible service like this in awhile. The burgers were okay, but the fries were overcooked (almost burnt) and the "tomato jam" tasted like pizza sauce with the same consistency. Maybe the seafood is better, but a simple burger and fries shouldn't be 2 hours and mediocre at best for $17. Will never be back, overpriced for what you get and the service/experience can't even make up for it. read more

Arrived at 7:05, after having a 7:00 reservation and was seated immediately. The restaurant is very spacious and has multiple floors. We were greeted by the hostess and they were so nice. The restaurant was fairly dark, however, not too dark to the point you can't see. Once seated, we were given some water. The menu was well explained by our waiter. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable. In looking at the menu online, I wasn't sure I was going to find something i liked but we all enjoyed our food. I will definitely be back. The mashed potatoes and she crab soup were really a hit. read more

Every single time we visit Saltine, we have the absolute pleasure of experiencing the dining excellence of Kyle. He consistently provides the best service we've ever encountered--he goes above and beyond, every time. Kyle is the epitome of the upper echelon in hospitality, setting a gold standard for what excellent service should be. And right alongside him, Ellie is equally phenomenal. Together, they make the perfect team, and I truly believe they should run the place. We can't wait to return, knowing they'll be there to make every visit unforgettable. read more

If you are looking for a great Happy Hour with $.50 fresh shucked oysters and $1.00 jumbo cold peeled shrimp, this is the place to go. Get there early or come at the last 15 minutes because this place is very busy. They have great drink specials and other food specials during happy hour. The management is on top of everything. I saw them clearing tables, checking food orders and basically very visible. The service from our server was great. She was super nice and everything was served as ordered. We were only able to get 2 bar seats at the raw bar area and were so glad we did. The guys doing all the raw bar service were also very nice and definitely knowledgeable. They even gave me an oyster sample to see the difference between the farms. I then ordered a dozen raw oysters and a dozen shrimp. I liked that there is an option to have Old Bay Seasoning on the shrimp. After that, we were still a little hungry and enamored by the food choices from the menu we decided to order a crab cake dinner to share and something called fish wings. Oh boy, they both were excellent. The fish wings were marinated in a sweet yet spicy sauce with crushed fried peanuts and house made brined pickles. The crab cakes were great with almost no fillers. We had a great experience and would definitely return next visit into town. read more

Our first visit to Saltine was lovely. They have a great bar that makes you feel like you're somewhere very swanky. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant (where it was thankfully warmer). Our server was attentive and informative and friendly! For drink I ordered the Pistachio Butter washed martini which was probably the best thing I had all night. Delicious! I'd return for one of those alone. My husband had something called Romeo's punch? Not sure that was the correct title, but it was very tart and interesting. Not his favorite but also something we wouldn't create at home. We started with the calamari and the She Crab soup. These two items were the most disappointing of the night, unfortunately. The flavor was great, but there was ZERO lump of crab in the soup and they skimped way too much on the calamari. For a $16 appetizer, you better give a hefty portion. I ordered the crab cakes with delicata squash and my husband had the Opah with whipped potatoes. Both entrees were fabulous! I had never had Opah and it quickly became one of my new favorite fish. Overall we would return, but we know that the appetizer portions are small or not including enough of the main product. We'd skip those next time. Would definitely recommend a visit to Saltine! read more

We ordered a tray of raw oysters and unfortunately FOUND not one but COUPLE OF WORMS!! after we had already eaten a few. We understand that oysters are raw and nature will nature but there's still a level of quality control expected for business to consumer. The workers who do the shucking should be checking because this should have been caught during shucking/inspection. We also brought it to the staff's attention and asked to speak to a manager but waited and waited and no one ever came. That part was disappointing. Manager not showing is not great customer service even if busy. read more
