We loved the food at Repeal Bourbons and Burgers !…read more We started off with drinks which were yummy and delicious. I had the Plymouth Rock because I love Gin and it was refreshingly sweet. My husband had the Margarita on the Rocks which I was not a fan of. I did not like the mix they used to make thins drink. My son also tasted it and agreed with my opinion. The lettuce wraps were really good. My daughter in law and I both had the CALIFORNICATION burger, my husband had the CLASSIC burger, my son had the CAPONE Burger and everyone was really happy! All burgers were properly cooked and delicious. The fries were good, nothing special to write about. My husband had the fries with bacon dust and they were very sweet. He wasn't a fan but I thought they were delicious!

The bourbon is the only thing saving this place from a 1 star review…read more Its tucked in the basement level of the Cavalier Hotel, and looks interesting at first glance- a large bar room with a variety of seating and a big glass viewing area into the distillery. We had a reservation for five. Their answer to that was to sit us at a four person hi-top and stick a chair on the end so everyone was crammed in, and sitting on the end meant everyone kept bumping into me the whole night. As for the distillery- someone had the brilliant idea to turn off all the lights in there at 7- so there went your view and any ambient lighting in the dim basement. The service was slow and lackluster. The food was lousy. I had the venison, which was under-seasoned. The pepper gravy had no pepper in it. Only the Brussels sprouts had any actual flavor. The bourbon was the best part of the meal. They offer small 2ox tasters and it was actually quite well done. But not worth going back for.

My wife ordered a burger on a GF Bun with Fries and the Cherry Limeade Cocktail. Fantastic!

Hat's off to the Service, Chef, and staff here. All of the awards and accomplishments are the Real Deal and well-deserved! Highly Recommend, and if we're back around the area in the near or not to distant future, we will certainly be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!! -FROM JCARAL in PA

Oh my God, what an experience I was very much so unaware that the Marriott at Virginia Beach…read moreoceanfront offered a rooftop on their rooftop is called Orion's roof. It's on the 23rd floor of the Marriott as soon as I arrived I saw that they offer valet parking so I opted into doing that. Then I was instructed to go to 23rd floor to enter the rooftop. Luckily we made a reservation because Orion's roof is known for always being busy and you might have a long wait. However once you met with the hostess, she took us to our table. We sat towards the back of the restaurant with the view of the oceanfront, which is gorgeous. They also have seating on the actual like outside rooftop where they have fire pits, and you can overlook the ocean as well as the city. However, as soon as we sat down, our waitress came over she explained the menu it is a Asian cuisine restaurant so they were out a lot of Asian cuisine options she also gave us a drink menu and she needs suggestions. I forget what type of drinks that I got, but they were delicious. I believe the first one was a pomegranate martini. The second drink was another pomegranate martini and the third drink was espresso martini. Once my friend arrived we decided to order appetizers. The first appetizer I ordered was the oysters which were fresh oysters with lemon, hot sauce, vinegar, horseradish, any type of topping that you would like my friend ordered their muscles, which came in this really good brown broth with bao buns. The broth was so delicious. He had to drink it like soup. Once all the muscles were gone. The muscles were cooked to perfection very well seasoned very well cooked not chewy just very delectable the oysters or chefs kiss they were very, very delicious flavorful and cooked to the right temperature. Next, we ordered our entrées. I ordered the Bronzino fish that came came with rice and a vegetable my friend ordered I think the Atlantic cod which also came with vegetables and rice. We did not order dessert, but we did order a espresso martini. The espresso martini was great. We asked for Baileys to make it a little more smoother and sweet, and it was also recommendation from our waitress. The ambience was to die for from the views the music playing in the background the upbeat waitresses and waiters are moving around the restaurant. It was very like high class and fancy restaurant so that was that was really nice. Overall, it was a great experience. I really enjoyed it. I wish I would've known about this rooftop earlier in my space at the Hilton oceanfront but I definitely will return. I suggest if you were in the area and you want to try rooftop and you wanna have like a little classy evening or good dinner that's not typically just seafood. I suggest trying out this roof top. You will not be disappointed. Cheers.

It's hard to write a review about a place with this view and then talk about anything else. So let…read moreme get that out of the way first: the view is amazing! Everything else would have to be pretty bad to overshadow it. Fortunately, the food complements the view. It was excellent. I had the branzino, which was delicious, and my wife had the short ribs, which were excellent as well. But I think that's where "excellent" and above ends. Our waitress was good and provided solid service, but I think the service overall could--and should--be better. The real letdown was the reservation process. We were a group of six and had reservations. When we arrived, we waited about 10-15 minutes before being directed to the sushi bar. Who makes reservations for six people at a sushi bar? That shouldn't even be an option for a party of six. To their credit, the waitstaff pulled together a section for us in the bar area after another 15-20 minute wait. Unfortunately, it was an awkward setup for six people trying to converse and have a good time. We asked if we could be moved to the empty section next to us, but were told those tables were reserved for parties of two. No problem--that sounds plausible. The problem is, those tables stayed empty for the entirety of our visit. The drinks were average as well. Anytime I order an Old Fashioned and it comes with regular ice cubes instead of one large cube, I already know what's coming. The ice melts too quickly and waters the drink down. Orion's Roof could--and should--be an easy five-star dining experience, but it falls short. The good news is that most of the issues holding it back seem relatively easy to fix.

We arrived on an early and rainy Saturday afternoon thinking this placed would be PACKED but it was actually not very busy - but it did start getting much busier, closer to the 4-5PM time frame though. This place wasn't as big as I thought it would be - felt kind of cramped...? It has a small arcade area, maybe 30 games or - standard D&B type of games. The reward zone was lacking some cool prizes so if you're looking to redeem something cool, you'll be severely disappointed. They have 4 food stalls and they had burgers, pizzas, nachos, sandwiches, boba, wings, etc. They even had adult beverages too! Prices were pretty standard. I was just excited that they had nachos :-) They also have a small jungle gym area - I think mainly for kids between the ages of 4 and 12 which was a nice touch. As far as the skating rink, it's not small by any means but it's not huge either. I was able to skate without having to dodge too many people. I am sure towards the evening hours it can get a bit crazy! I would love for them to take song requests which I think would be fun. Prices for the skate rentals was very affordable especially since it wasn't time constricted. Something was off about the vibe of this place for me - it almost seemed like it wasn't "popping" to me. Was missing the wow factor and I didn't feel excited? This is a cool place to check out if you don't have anything else to do. Looks like a good place to have a kids birthday party though.

Our friends have been raving about Still and we decided to make reservations for a date night. It's…read moretime to bring some spotlight to this hidden gem, nestled in Olde Town Portsmouth. The vibe is whatever you want it to be, as some were dressed up & others were casual. We made reservations a few days ahead of time for a Friday night, but walks in were welcome & it's wasn't crowded when we arrived. When it comes to the parking situation, avoid the lot beside Still that's is labeled for the Mustard Seed Place. (We almost were towed but came back in the nick of time). We thought the open spaces without signs were open parking spots since the other spots were clearly labeled for Mustard Seed Place & Bon Secours. We entered the side door and were instantly transported into a basement speakeasy feeling restaurant. The host asked if we had reservations & then we were immediately seated. We enjoyed a small table lit candle and were surrounded by other couples without feeling too close or subtracting from the intimacy. We started with drinks: ~A Pineapple Bourbon Honey Sour - a well balanced drink that was tastefully sweet. ~Lavender 75 - I was initially cautious of gin, but the waitress assured me it was delicious & she was right. ~Old Fashioned - perfect! For Tapas we ordered: ~ Cornbread - cooked to absolute perfection, crispy on the outside, but moist & cake like on the inside. As a lavender girly, the lavender butter was delectable and subtle. I need inquire about buying some of that to go! ~Brussels (my FAV) - this was the largest plate and the Brussels were cooked to perfection and sauced in a tasty concoction. ~Bacon Wrapped Tots - served with 4 on a skewer. We initially were going to skip these because the name sounded like bacon and tater tots, but were pleasantly surprised that the tot was a homemade, cheesy, delicious latke like creation. (Another fav) ~Beef Filet - served with mashed potatoes and mustard seeds. This was also cooked perfectly & tasted delicious but was gone after we both shared a bite. All in all, this restaurant is a must visit, keeping in mind that the portions are intentionally smaller so you can share and try multiple items. The items do not come out in the sequence you order them, so I'm glad we ordered everything at once. The service was great and we look forward to visiting again. One small note, would be to fix the table legs. We ended up stuffing a napkin under a leg to keep it from wobbling. But that didn't finish our experience.

It's the kind of establishment that understands both execution and consistency--two qualities that are increasingly rare and always appreciated. The shrimp and grits remains a signature highlight. The Creole sauce offers a restrained heat, balanced by a layered depth of flavor that speaks to careful preparation rather than excess. The shrimp are properly cooked, retaining a delicate snap, while the stone-ground grits provide a well-seasoned, creamy foundation. Each component is thoughtfully prepared, and together they form a cohesive dish that feels both composed and satisfying--an authentic nod to Cajun tradition without unnecessary embellishment. Gershwin's stands as a reliable fixture in the downtown dining scene. For those seeking a refined take on Southern and New Orleans classics, it is well worth the visit--and a strong example of the quality found within Norfolk's local restaurant community.

If this restaurant was in an area that was even moderately competitive they would have been put out of business. The bar seems adequate but it was almost like they stopped serving food and forgot to tell anyone. I swear I'm not making this up, this actually happened: 1) it took over 2.5 hours for the entrees to come out. One came out so early that by the time the second set came out they were already done. 2) The only appetizer that was ordered that actually came out, arrived after the entree was done. 3) One person's order had to be changed 5x because the waiter kept coming back to say they're out. When his pork chop finally arrived, it was undercooked and not eatable. 4) Nothing was offered in any way as a comp, nor any real apology If you go, be wary. There is no way they were this thoroughly incompetent in every single aspect of the food services industry without practice.
