Backfin Crab Dip
Bernadette M.

Went for the first time Sunday for a date. The food was amazing and all for a very affordable price! The Crab Dip was addicting. The Big Bang Shrimp was busting with flavor. And the Bistro Burger was nothing I've ever tasted in a regular burger before with its bacon jam. (I added fried egg to my burger to make it more of a brunch special.) On top of great food, the service was just as equally awesome! Our waitress was sweet and down to earth. And we got to meet the owner too who seemed hard-working and humble, making sure we were good all the way up until the end. Will 1000% be back for a round 2 to try more of the menu.

So I was at the golf course on business on a Sunday when I caught a glance of the brunch menu at The Corner Bistro. Everything look pretty decent and the prices were very reasonable. So I left the club and went home to grab my family to take them to brunch. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the lovely weather and my wife and I sipped on a couple of mimosas. My kids had chicken tenders and fries while I ordered up a 6oz cheese burger topped with bacon and a fried egg. The food, drinks, the prices and scenery were on point. We loved it. Definitely a little diamond in the ruff sitting their in Hampton. BTW, they have this house sauce that I used fir dipping my fries. CRACK!!

When you think of Poquoson, you'd probably think of seafood and clam chowder. The corner Bistro is a gem of something different in Poquoson. With designer cocktails, and a decent craft beer selection, the dishes offered are eclectic and inspired offering some classic comfort food items and some more "artsy" dishes. Basically something for anyone here. I usually try the specials, or something from the menu that I haven't tied before, but I have to admit, their burger with the bacon jam is probably my favorite burger around. If I'm in the mood for a burger, that is the one that comes to mind first! On a last note, the last time I was in, I asked for their NY style Cheesecake to end the meal, and asked if I could get the bacon Jam on it, they were happy to oblige. OMG - Amazeballs, and the chef had to come out to see who requested such a decadent train wreck

Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Bisque (cup size serving). Loved it and will definitely order again!

Been here twice in the last week, and both times were great! Food was delicious and they have a good variety of beer offered. So far, I've tried the Shaolin Chicken Sandwich, fish tacos, Red Pepper Tomato Soup, and Chicken Salad Sandwich. All were great, and I highly recommend! The serving sizes are very generous here, so keep that in mind when ordering.

Thought the 4.5 stars would be safe. Fish tacos were bad. Burger seemed like it was unfrozen and thrown on the griddle.

I just knew this place was going to be Top Notch when I told my bestie visiting from Atlanta we…read morewere going to go here for a cocktail hour this past Friday night... boy was I disgusted and disappointed. We arrived at 6:30pm for our reservation. We walked in and was greeted and the next gesture was the hostess asking for $10 each. I was a bit blown away because I didn't understand what the $10 was for because we just walked in the restaurant and it was only a handful of people inside including an employee sitting down eating ... and the workers still setting up and what appeared to be the entertainment that was setting up as well. The hostess mentioned entertainment was taking place around 7:30 or 8:00 ... Okay but it was not even close to that time frame so not sure why money was taken or asked for in advance. My bestie and I were going to dine if anything share an appetizer and have a drink ...definitely wasn't going to be there for any entertainment because we both were underdressed so that was a bit of a turn-off but he was excited to try the restaurant so he paid the $20 for us to walk in and sit down. The restaurant was wide open so we decided to sit at the bar instead of a table not sure if he was greeted at the bar because I went to the restroom. Nevertheless I came from the restroom and sat at the bar with him and not even 2 minutes later I was greeted with gnats and the smell of bleach such a turn off not sure what's going on here or what happened but I was ready to go. My bestie wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt but 5 minutes later I still was turned off and was ready to go. Well... go at your own risk. Parking is available on the street as well as a parking garage is available within walking distance. We were in and out by 7pm. $60 spent I order an old fashioned I know I finished that in about 15 seconds because I didn't want anything to get in it so from what I can recall it was good. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Circa 1918 is pure perfection and I can't believe I was honored enough to get a reservation there…read moreon a Saturday night! This restaurant is located on a little cute strip, filled with vintage looking shops. It's cozy on the outside and in the inside. The ambiance at night is giving romantic date night. It's a pretty tight space but it gives an intimate feel. I personally love that. I went here because one of my friends said that it is his favorite restaurant. He explained how their menu frequently changes and is chef-curated. He really hyped it up. And the experience I had here with friends really lived up to the hype!! Immediately waking up, the hostess greeted us with upbeat and high energy and she quickly seated us as well. The hostess also ended up being our waitress. She was very well-informed and knew the food and drinks like the back of her hand. I'm always impressed when waitstaff know what they're talking about because I've been in their shoes before. So I know the work it takes to get like that. We started with a house appetizer. I don't remember what it was exactly but it was all beautifully topped on a slice of naan. It really started off the night on a great note. Our appetizers were the charred octopus, beef gyoza, and the fried oysters. Our drinks were excellent craft cocktails that I don't remember the names of. But each one was gorgeous and delicious! Next up, we had the grilled asiago bread, bison meatloaf, pan seared duck breast, and the seared jumbo sea scallops. Goodness. Not a single disappointment in any of these dishes that I listed. Maybe one disappointment is that I couldn't have unlimited charred octopus and duck breast... LOL. I often get lost in thinking about the charred octopus here. It was crispy on the outside with the perfect amount of char, but yet it was soft and tender in the inside. I got my duck cooked at medium rare. The duck breast melted in my mouth. I didn't want the experience to end. Overall, this place is absolutely worth the hype and is all the rage. I'm 1000000% coming back here when I'm back in town again.

I met some friends who had come in from out of town here. We made reservations, and am glad we did…read more The inside is quite tight on space, so I'd recommend the same if you're planning a night out. The vibe is warm and welcoming though. The food, as it should be is the star of the show. I ordered the Duck, which was the best duck I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. Some places can over cook it in an attempt to get that crispy skin, but here it was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy, meat flavorful and juicy, and not overly greasy. The sweet potato puree was excellent and elevated the meal. The drinks menu was really good. Our friends are Wine Connessiuers and we're impressed with the selection. Not a Connessiuer myself, though I do enjoy a nice red every now and then, our selection was really good. Circa 1918 is a bit of a trip for us, but I'm sure we will be back and I'd recommend this place to anyone in the Newport News area.

A friend of mine scheduled a get-together at this restaurant located in the Phoebus area of Hampton…read morelast Friday. It's high-end, which I barely touch due to pricing, but it does not hurt to try something new. Let's see how the evening went. After our entire party arrived, we were all promptly seated. Inside, the decor is perfect. From the bar to the dining area, everything was spotless. You can tell the staff really cares about keeping the place tidy. And they had New Orleans-style music playing through the sound system. Very relaxing. After looking through the menu, I was ready to place my order. I chose their fish special, which was salmon with veggies and a sauce (forgot the name). This dish was very good. It was probably the best cooked salmon I've ever had. When you see seafood with the perfect crust and a lot of flavor, you're in heaven. It did have a small bone and I felt it lacked the amount of squash and zucchini, but again, a wonderful meal. There was one situation which resulted in only a 4-star review. Out of curiousity, I saw on Facebook that they offered $5 discounts. I did let my party know and we were all ready to use them when the bill was ready. But the staff told us the discount was to be used on a table rather than an individual ticket. When we looked both on Facebook and our personal emails, none of that verbage was mentioned. Not trying to sound harsh, but please be sure to state every detail foe customers. We do want to find ways to save some cash out of our wallets. Except for the discount mishap, the visit turned out well. I can say I'll be back to give them anothee go-around. Till next time :)

Super impressed with this one!…read more When you walk in, it seriously feels like you stepped into a 90s movie diner, and I'm here for it! They were voted Best Burger in Newport News, so my expectations were pretty high. They absolutely did NOT disappoint. I ordered a plain cheeseburger with grilled onions and bacon, along with the chili cheese fries. BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! The burger was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. Everything came out super fast and tasted fresh. You order at the counter when you walk in, and if you're dining in, they bring your food out to you. Super easy and efficient. It does get crowded though. They also had a little market where they sell ice cream, pie, jerky's, snacks. I really wanted to try their soft serve too, but by the time we finished eating, there was a HUGE line, so I'm kind of sad I didn't get to try it. Guess that just means I have to come back!
