Solid 3.5/5. We had a good experience at The Grill. The deviled eggs were a great start, and the skirt steak cooked medium rare with the peppercorn sauce was awesome -- flavorful and cooked just right. The rolls were also pretty great. The standout for me, though, was definitely the mac and cheese. So good and easily my favorite part of the meal. The atmosphere is on the darker, moodier side. We went at night, and I personally would've preferred just a little more lighting, but it does give the restaurant a more intimate feel. The time to receive our food did take a while though. Overall, good food, nice atmosphere, and definitely worth trying. read more

The food at The Grill was absolutely delicious, but the service made the meal take about an hour longer than it should have. We ordered the Mixed Grill for Two, and honestly, it could have easily fed three people. The beef was fantastic, the shrimp were divine and grilled perfectly, and the crab cakes had great flavor but were a little too salty for me. The salad was nicely dressed with a vinaigrette, but for the price point, it felt pretty basic--mostly lettuce, dressing, and a few little radish slices thrown in for color. The deviled eggs with crabmeat were fine, but they needed something. A sauce, drizzle, garnish...anything to give them a little personality. They showed up to the table dressed like they were headed to dollar tree in a lambo. Now, the roasted sweet potatoes? THE SHOWSTOPPER. Absolutely incredible. Pair those with the grilled pineapple upside-down cake and I briefly died, went to heaven, came back, and finished them off. Easily two of the best things we ate. The drinks were also excellent--balanced, flavorful, and strong without tasting like someone just dumped liquor into a glass and hoped for the best. Where things fell apart was the timing. I'm still not sure whether the issue was with our server or the kitchen because our drinks came out promptly, but we waited around 40 minutes for a salad that seemingly only needed to be tossed with vinaigrette and introduced to a couple slices of radish. The expensive crab-topped deviled egg took its sweet time too. Overall, the food was good enough that I would absolutely give The Grill another try, especially for those sweet potatoes, shrimp, and that heavenly pineapple upside-down cake. But at this price point, the service and pacing need to match the quality coming off the grill. Especially when its over $200+ for a meal. No apologies were made, nor explanation. They do have a blip on the menu about allowing two hours for a dining experience; so 52 min past due wirh no acknowledgement is no burno. read more

We had a reservation for two, and when we arrived, there was no hostess present for a good five minutes. We waited around for a while before anyone greeted us, which was not a great first impression for a fine-dining restaurant. Unfortunately, the service continued to be disappointing. Our waitress was not pleasant or welcoming and never seemed to smile. Her demeanor brought down the mood of the entire dining experience and felt particularly out of place for a high-end restaurant. She was also not very accommodating, which made the experience even more frustrating. We were really looking forward to dining here, especially given the restaurant's excellent ratings. We were seated on the outdoor patio, but there was a constant smell of car exhaust fumes, which was unpleasant while trying to enjoy our meal. We ordered the New York strip and skirt steak. Both were just okay and certainly nothing spectacular. The skirt steak in particular lacked flavor. We also ordered chimichurri sauce on the side, but it had very little garlic or cilantro flavor and tasted mostly like oil. The mushroom side was surprisingly sweet, which was not what we expected. The ice cream dessert was quite good, while the Pavlova was just okay. Overall, this restaurant did not live up to its ratings or our expectations of a high-end dining experience. The food was average, the patio had an unpleasant exhaust odor, and the service was the biggest disappointment. A 20% service charge is automatically included in the bill, which makes attentive, friendly, and accommodating service even more important. Unfortunately, our server did not provide the level of hospitality we would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. read more

First of all, I'm not sure why this place has such low ratings because we were VERY happy with our food and service Walking into the restaurant, the aroma of fresh buttery seafood hit me in the face. You can tell that the food was going to be amazing. The restaurant was beautiful with very fancy furniture. The oysters were a bit small but came with a delicious tangy mignonette. I wish we had gotten the dozen because I was wanting more. The skirt steak was cooked medium rare and it was very tender. I got a side of chimichurri sauce in case it needed flavor but the herbed butter gave it plenty of flavor and the extra sauce was not needed. The herbed fries were crispy and flavorful. The aioli it came with complimented it very well. My husband got the beef Wellington and he said it was the best beef Wellington he's ever had. For dessert we got the pavlova which was soft and airy. The sorbet it came with was homemade and wonderfully tart. The service was definitely up to standard. I have no idea why other reviews complained about the service. We never had to flag anyone down. When I asked for an opinion on wine, the waitress was honest and said she didn't know much about wine but recommended the ones that sold the most. Our waitress was attentive, quick, and very professional. The manager even stopped by our table to make sure we were doing okay. Overall this place was phenomenal and we will definitely be back. read more

So this place is very cute inside, with a nice focal point bar when you enter. We just went for happy hour, the drinks were reasonably priced and good. We tried the deviled egg, it was a little mustardy for my taste. The food looked good that was coming out around us and we will be back for dinner one day to try it for sure. The service was also attentive and the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

They weren't busy when I came in on a Monday. Located right near Atlantic surf park it's a great restaurant to try when visiting the oceanfront. Our server was very attentive and service was pretty fast. The low lighting gives the restaurant a modern feel and makes for the perfect dinner/date night location. Everything I tried was to die for. Love all things cheesey so the Mac n cheese and crab dip are some of the best I've had in the area. I was blown away by the Tomahawk. We were recommended the chimchurri accompaniment and it was perfect. I will say it was a pricey dinner but we were splurging for my birthday. They also brought out the chocolate flourless tart to celebrate, which I thought was really nice and thoughtful. Overall, I will definitely be returning! read more

We came here for a lunch date and it was a mixed bag - the place was completely empty, except for us. Probably because we were the only people there, they gave us a little sampler appetizer before we actually ordered, which was really nice. Inside of the restaurant was pretty and the bathrooms were nice. We parked next-door at a pay to park spot that was pretty affordable. I think it was $3.50 for two hours of parking. Strangely, the service was slow even though we were the only people there. From beginning to end was an hour and 20 minutes. For food, we got the skirt steak with the shareable mac & cheese, a little side salad, a cup of clam chowder, the herb rolls, a deviled egg and a crabcake. For dessert, we got the flourless chocolate cake. I have to say all the food was very good. The skirt steak was pretty tender for the cut and I think a decent value, the clam chowder and mac & cheese was delicious as were the deviled egg and crabcake. The crabcake was mostly crab and had very little binder so it fell apart a little bit, but that's kind of what you want to maximize amount of crab you're getting. The rolls were a little bit unusual. They were sweet and salty on the outside with large flakes of salt, but on the inside, they were kind of savory because of the herbs, a little unusual but definitely enjoyable. The chocolate cake was very rich and dense and had some nice orange zest with it along with the ice cream on top. Overall, the food was really good, but the service was a little slow and it's a little bit of a pricier restaurant. As some other reviewers mentioned, there is a happy hour food and beverage menu that runs Monday through Friday as well. read more

The establishment is new, and aesthetically beautiful, located next to the Dome. Our server was attentive but getting our food took awhile. We ordered the mixed grill. The lamb was cold but the lobster roll was okay. The ribeye was tough and rubbery. The shrimp and macaroni were good. The crab cake lacked flavor. The prices are steep and the food was not worth the price. read more

unfortunately, this place was pretty underwhelming for me and i really wanted to enjoy it. it really did. tried to do the martini thing, i discovered im just not a martini girl per se. i did end up getting a lychee martini, which was pretty good, i must admit. i ordered 2 of the crab deviled eggs ... did not like. we also ordered the onion dip, no type of seasoning whatsoever. their saving grace for me were the herb rolls. they were delicious. i will say on the other hand, the ambience was very nice. and the service was really good. will i be tempted to go back, no unfortunately. even looking at the overall menu outside of what was ordered, nothing stood out to me. read more

This place is such a hidden gem, wow!!!! Came here for date night and it was nothing but top tier here.

Honestly, I am sickened by the amount of money we spent here last night. For the service and the amount of mistakes, it was just unacceptable. For the TL;DR version, we won't be back. Eater beware! Word to the wise, if you're really going to eat here, do yourself a favor and download the inKind app to get a $50 off $150 offer. You'll need it. We had a rezzie for 6pm because we had a show at the Dome at 8pm (we told our server this in a conversation when we sat down). We placed our cocktail drinks within 10 minutes of being seated and proceeded to wait 25 MINUTES for them to arrive to the table. Strike one. You need new bartenders. If you can't handle tables and a bar, you've got a long term problem. We ordered the calamari which was pretty good, but they put it on the table and we didn't even have silverware or plates yet. Oof. Strike two. The power went out for MAYBE 2 minutes and 30 seconds...maybe. Ok, whatever. Things happen. I ordered the skirt steak and fries which came out next to cold. My husband ordered a petit filet mignon with a baked potato and added the fancy stuff (the option for $19.50). Well, it came out without it. Our server kindly returned to the kitchen and said they would prepare it, but at this point it's close to the show, and we were going to have to box it anyway. Strike three. The service here aims to please, but misses the mark. While our waitress was sweet, she disappeared for long periods of time, didn't fill waters adequately (in a 2 hour visit) and didn't pay attention to the fact that we had a deadline. Just inexperienced. Overall employees just weren't smiling and didn't have good demeanor with guests. My cocktail was taken away with drink left it in. Sigh. Also, what is it with these bathrooms? This place is a sister restaurant to Mi Vida down the street and they are SO DARK. And only 2 of them? For the size of the place? Wow. The manager stopped by to ask how things were and I was honest. He seemed to think blaming everything on the power outage was acceptable. People, we are talking about a 2 minute outage. That doesn't put your bar and your kitchen behind by 30 minutes, or excuse mistakes. They did throw in a comp dessert, but I would have preferred they lessened the bill. I wish I would have listened to other reviews. The only redeeming thing of the evening was the Grill Punch, pictured here. Delicious. Otherwise, will never return. read more

I went to The Grill because I had an issue with a dish from a previous visit, and the manager was nice enough to assist me. She was very friendly, upbeat, and accommodating!! She even met me outside to bring me my food. Which was really nice!! The restaurant is very modern and sleek with a nice vibe!! I got the grilled branzino, fried lobster fritters, and mac n cheese, and a pineapple mocktail. The lobster fritters are definitely good, a must try for sure! The tartar sauce is delicious!! The mac n cheese was a decent portion and was good, but could have been more flavorful. The Branzino had a beautiful presentation and was a good size portion. The top was grilled well but the bottom of the fish appeared a little undercooked and slimy. It was appealing until I got to that part. There was also a lot of bones. The mocktail was ok, but it kinda fell flat for me. It tasted like it was missing something. I do like the food here but I expect a higher standard because the food is a bit pricey!! I'd still return to try other dishes. They have limited street parking but there is a parking lot across the street you can pay to park in, or there's a nearby garage also. The area it's in is really nice. Check them out!! read more

This place was just want we were looking after trying too many seafood dives!! I'd definitely go back. read more

Dinner at this spot is about to elevate your taste buds like never before. The Grill in Virginia Beach promises a feast with crispy calamari, marinated skirt steak, and more. Stay tuned as I rate each dish and share why this place stands out. I stopped by The Grill at the Oceanfront and didnt know what to expect. I was craving a good steak. I ordered the New York Strip, cooked medium-rare, I paired it with a crabcake and mushrooms & it came out perfect! The ambience was very aesthetically nice relaxed and upscale without it being too formal. The crowd was minimal, which made for a chill dining experience. Our server was very attentive and polite. The steak itself was good & im glad i paired it with a crabcake & Hollandaise sauce. The drinks at the bar were pumping one after another and yeah this seems like a great spot for drinks if youre looking for a place to unwind. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for cocktails and atmosphere andfood to enjoy! #foodie #foodreview #virginiabeach #badbunny #dinner read more

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of eating at "The Grill!" I had researched before traveling to VA Beach from Columbus, OH what restaurant I wanted to visit and I couldn't wait! And boy! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Darlin (Amazing member of the management team) spoke to us at our table and started everything off right by explaining several great dishes and I felt like we orders it all! We started with All Bites and it was truly amazing! Hitting all the notes, including the dips. I cannot say enough about the Honey Herb rolls! I wanted to order a dozen to go or even as my main dish! No lie! The New England clam chowder was chocked full of clams that were so sumptuous in a delicious chowder that was perfectly seasoned! Liz stepped in after Darlin and continued the experience, bringing out or main dishes which were the Crispy Fish slider special, which INCLUDED Caesar salad, aioli fries AND flourless chocolate cake! The term "slider" is a misnomer because each slider was like a whole sandwich and it was amazing, even on the second day reheated! Now you know that's good! We also had the crab avocado toast and the crab was abundant succulent! I wanted to say a special thank you to Darlin and Liz for making the walk there so well worth it and then some! I cannot wait to return! If you're on the fence about going the grill, get off of it and make your way there! The atmosphere is high profile, yet relaxed. It's where you want to go on your first date, birthday or anniversary! It's that nice. You can enjoy yourself at the bar or in a booth. Lastly, the prices are more than reasonable! I'll be back when I return in October, WITH FRIENDS A PLENTY! read more

Hubs and I found a small window of quiet time away from family on Christmas Day to have dinner here. I was so glad they were one of the few restaurants open on a holiday. The atmosphere is intimate and the staff complimented the vibe. FYI... the menu is a la carte, so this is what I had for dinner. Cajun branzino - I like that it's grilled and branzino is a beautiful fish. However, it was way too salty and couldn't finish it after 1 bite. Wedge Salad - I love a good wedge salad and when I see it on the menu, I have to get it! The marinated tomatoes/onions that tops this salad were yummy. But it's weird that they pull a full piece of pork belly, I had to cut it up in pieces and at one point I was just dipping it in the salad dressing and eating the pork belly that way! LOL! For dresser I had the Pavlova. I never had it, so I am unsure how it supposed to taste but it was good. It was tarty because of the sorbet and raspberries used, so if you like a tarty sweet dessert, I guess this is for you. The best thing I had was the cappuccino! It was nice and smooth. They made it decaf for me and the quality was not compromised at all. So overall, will I be back....no LOL! read more

Meh. I was supposed to come here for Valentine's Day but I'm so glad I decided to experience it sooner, because I would have been disappointed. Honestly, everything could have been better for the price. If you want a better seasoned decently priced branzino that actually comes with sides you're better off going to Bonefish. While the crab fondue is highly recommended, it was nothing special. Just some gooey cheese with crab and no seasoning. If anything I would recommend the herb rolls and the Grill Punch...those were tasty but not enough for a trip back. If you want to check them out I'd probably say try them out during RW or a hh before you end up wasting your money. Service wise, no complaints. read more

Sat at the bar for Happy Hour. Had a couple of beers from the local Wasserhund Brewery nearby, love this beer.

It's very pretty inside, nice and elegant. read more

We came to The Grill for the first time to celebrate a birthday, and overall it was a great experience. Our server, Alphonso, was friendly and had excellent recommendations that really helped guide our ordering. We started with the deviled eggs and the salted honey herb rolls. Both were solid, with the rolls being especially addictive. For my entrée, I had the pan-roasted salmon, which was well prepared and flavorful. A few things to note: entrées are definitely on the expensive side, and everything is served à la carte, so the bill adds up quickly. Cocktails were also pretty pricey- almost entrée-level. I decided to try the Grill Punch, which was enjoyable. That said, the birthday celebration ended on a high note with a thoughtful, sweet birthday treat for the celebrant, which was a really nice touch. Overall, The Grill feels best suited for special occasions rather than casual dining, but I'd absolutely come back for another celebration. read more

The vibes are electric! The staff is super kind and helpful! Donnie was a great server. She answered our questions and gave recommendations on the menu. The food and drinks are simply delicious!! And the presentation is everything! I started with a Cosmo-blanc, which is their spin on a cosmopolitan. It had cranberry foam...just excellent! We had the caramelized onion dip with chips...the dip was delish. They said it came with house chips, but they were actually regular potato chips. I think house chips would have been better as it would've held up better with the dip. We also had the crab deviled eggs. They were good, no wow factor like the rest of the meal. For my meal, I had the crab cake. It's rare I can get a crab cake that's gluten-free so I was excited. It did not disappoint!! It was light and full of lump crabmeat!! We shared the roasted cauliflower, twice baked potato, and grilled sweet potatoes. All of the side was excellent! FYI, they use nuts in most of the garnishes accompanying the sides so ask for it sans nuts if you have an allergy. For dessert l, had the trio of sorbets - lime, mango, and raspberry. I liked the mango and raspberry flavors the best. The pavlova was a great mix of Chantilly cream, meringue, and fruit. I already know I'm going back!! Check it out! read more

Came here for Mother's Day dinner and was very pleased! The atmosphere is calming but energetic. I love it being right across from the surf park and right next to the Dome. We were able to be seated outside on the patio and even though the temperature dropped, the overhead heaters did a great job. The service was spectacular! Our waitress was very attentive and answered any and all questions we had. She made some great recommendations for dinner. The food was spectacular!!

If I could describe this place in 3 words it would be Showed And Proved. Food Customer Service Ambience Had an exceptional experience at The Grill. My wife and I shared an anniversary there for an evening dinner. Made reservations on Open Table for 5pm on a Friday. It's right next to The Dome in Virginia Beach so it's fairly simple to find it you know where The Dome is. Arrived and was seated promptly. Let me start by saying... man, the customer service was 20/10. I felt like I had stock in the place. Every level of service was provided, our waiter explained the menu to us upon seating which i found to be very informative for the experience, it was like have a tour guide on a museum visit. Tables were set lovely, very clean establishment from the tables, bar, and bathrooms. Everything was tidy and sharp. Now for the food, a good word to describe it was poignant. We enjoyed everything we ordered besides only one thing. Drinks: We order the Rum Me Over and the Without The Punch for a palette cleanser. Both were really good drinks. Appetizers: Whatever you do, never leave this place without ordering the Honey Herb Rolls. I'll just leave you with that information. We also ordered the calamari which I wasn't a fan of at all. The batter they fried it in is tasty but the calamari to me just didn't have a good cook on it. On the rubbery chewy side. Entrees: I had the skirt steak which I think is a very slept on cut of steak. Ordered it Medium and it came with had a beautiful side of greens and I picked chimichurri as my sauce. Paired it with the Twice Baked Potato. Phenomenal. Wife ordered the Baked Chicken which was juicy and had a good flavorful but felt it needed a smig bit more, it came with a sauce so she did it with the Soy Ponzu and that really added the each flavor i felt it needed. That got paired it with the Spiced Creamed Spinach. Everything was to the point. My only take away is that for how spacious the place is the seating is rather tight but manageable. Certain areas kinda felt like I was seated with the people next to me. Overall, this place was a banger for date night. 4.2/5 stars. Would definitely spin the block. read more

We had the mussels and calamari for appetizers the mussels were so good a must try and the serving is huge, calamari was okay not so crispy. For my entree i had the lobster roll, it has a good amount of lobster but the bread is a lil disappointing it was not warm and the sides were hard not buttered well and for the price $37 for one it was not a good choice. The service was okay aside from the hair on the toasted bread she was good. The restaurant is cozy, the restroom however was so dark like dark, it was hard to see. read more

I was pretty upset that this place was disappointing. I always feel like I'm a good judge of an establishment by the pictures and things of that nature. This was a big miss for me. I'll start by saying the people are friendly. At least the people outside of my waitress that came by. I usually ask for a lovely table or a nice booth in my comments on my reservation. They put me at a table right in the middle of the floor where everybody walks by and you're just in high traffic. I personally don't like those places because people usually kick your seat. I can say nobody kicked my seat here. We sat down and she asked us if we want to tap or bottled water. I'm with two other guys. I say I want bottled water I don't know about them. That means I want bottled water. Instead, her response was "oh the bottle is big enough for everybody". I basically drink my two glasses in 5 minutes and the bottle was already empty. Because she wanted to share it, which is not what I asked. I'm not paying for bottled water for everybody. I'm paying for it for me. Then she lets 20 minutes go by and she just comes back and goes, Are you ready to order? She didn't even take our liquor drink drinks. I said to her I mean, I'm ready to get a cocktail if that's what you mean and she said oh I didn't come over and ask you that already. Then when we do get our cocktails, she's like OK what would you like to place for food. I was like, i've never been here. Can you explain the menu? All she could really tell me is that that bread is made in house and it's good. Like no special, no this is my favorite, nothing. Side bar: when I was looking at the menu, I was thinking to myself usually a ribeye is just like 5-10 dollars more than a strip. But at this place, it was 20 more dollars. Was it a better cut of beef? Like wagyu or something to have that price differing My waitress couldn't tell me. We get the bread in the crab dip. The crab dip was super cheesy and I wish it had just a little bit more crab. Then for dinner, I get a steak with a twice baked potato. When ordering I asked if I could get my steak medium plus. My waitress had no idea what that was and I said that's fine. I said are they gonna cook it a little bit more under or over do you know your cook? She said they're gonna cook it to order and if it's under, I'll just take it back. I ordered medium, and the thing came out more rare than I can tell you. The waitress never came back to check on the food. After sitting there for 15 minutes, a manager just randomly comes over and says how's everything going? Everything tasting great. I told the manager I don't send things back, but I'm just not gonna eat this. I'll pay for it but I'm not gonna eat it because it's too rare. It's still mooing on the plate. And it wasn't just mine. The other guys was undercooked as well. They were just eating it. She's like we'll just let me get an opportunity to make it right. I'm like no I don't like sending things back. I don't trust it. You know I'm good. She's super insistent so I let her. She comes back and there's no butter. There's no nothing on the steak anymore and it's just barely medium. Because that's how rare it was before. I just told her it was fine and I picked around it. I couldn't finish my food because this is too rare and my friends were shocked that mine was under mostly still The waitress finally came back and said oh was your steak under I didn't know. Did it come out better? I said it was really bland because they didn't put any more butter on it. They put it back on and cooked all the butter off. She was like oh did you want me to get you a cup of melted butter? Dude, I wish I could tell you the thoughts that were going through my head. Because this place is trying to be an upscale establishment. And the waitresses just lost and the Cooking Staff doesn't seem like they know what they're doing because they can't guarantee anything over medium. But the real kicker is that they automatically put 20% gratuity on my tab. And I tip $50 on 200 all the time and if you're bad I tip you about $30 on 200. That waitress was not worth the amount of money that she got out of me and neither was that establishment. Usually I feel like I'm paying for an experience and I accept that, but this was the first time that I was thoroughly disappointed in myself that I thought I would enjoy something and I ended up feeling like I got got. I bet my friends at this place will not stay open for many years. That it's only a matter of time if they're moving like this. read more

I took my sister to The Grill as a Galentine's/early Birthday date. The venue is very nice! However, I do not like how the seating is set up. It's hard to be intimate when it's almost family-style seating in some areas. For food, we tried "all the bites" that included crab deviled eggs, fried lobster bites, bacon wrapped dates, and lamb skewers. The lamb was very gamey and mushy in texture. Not palatable at all. The egg whites of the deviled eggs were rubbery. The fried lobster was good and surprisingly, the bacon wrapped dates were the best thing on the platter! We both had the Salmon and crab cake from the grill along with the roasted cauliflower and Mac and cheese. The salmon was underwhelming and seemed more baked than grilled. The crab cake was extremely salty; same with the Mac and cheese. The cauliflower had tree nuts and an arugula pesto. It wasn't bad, just an acquired taste. My sister loved it! I had the sunset sangria which was a red sangria with orange juice and raspberry! It was very good. To celebrate my sister's birthday, they gave a complimentary piece of their flourless chocolate cake with a sparkler! Very cute! And the cake was very good. Our waitress, Ceara B, was very nice but came to the table a little too much. She was actually kind of disruptive. I understand she was trying to be attentive, but she needs to find balance. The experience/food was not at all worth the $260 spent. Also, be mindful that all seasons after 4PM have a 20% gratuity automatically added regardless of party size. While my experience was not what I expected, I always recommend others try it for themselves! read more

Phenomenal location and very tastefully laid out. The food is chef prepared but when you have salads and chicken tenders, you should have ranch dressing no matter how bougie you are trying to be. I ordered the wedge but did not want the blue cheese so the first thing out of the servers mouth was, "we don't serve ranch", when I was going to order the red wine vinaigrette!! Service was very slow and the refills of beverages was to the point of searching down a server and they were super slow on our visit. The other move that's odd, with the restaurant so slow, they seated guests right next to each other when spreading out could have been more enjoyable as we waited....on service. read more

In my Keith Lee voice, let's get into it. We went here to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday. Even before arriving, the restaurant showed great customer service, my mother's flight was delayed several times, and we had to push the reservation back twice. No issue at all. When we arrived, we were seated right away and our waitress came over immediately. She was the cutest, very knowledgeable, and super friendly. I'm a foodie at heart, so there were several things I needed to try. For the table, we ordered the crab deviled eggs, crab cheese dip, calamari, and rolls. All the appetizers were good, but two stood out for different reasons. The deviled eggs are only good if you like capers,the flavor can be overwhelming for some. Now the rolls... omg, the rolls need their own review. Talk about delicious. I would literally go back just to order the rolls alone. We also had the house version of a lemon drop. I can't remember the name, but I think it was the Sour Puss. It was a quality lemon drop and perfect for lightweights. For the main course, we all ordered different entrées: skirt steak, branzino, a HUGE 9oz lump crab cake, and salmon. I paired my steak with the twice-baked potato,and yes, another order of rolls. I tried everyone's meal, and I honestly can't pick the best one. Everything was a 10/10. The interior of the restaurant was very high-end. It gave Miami vibes, not Virginia Beach. Between the service, the ambiance, and the food, this place is worth the money. And coming from someone who lives in NYC, the check for four people with drinks, appetizers, and entrées was super affordable. We paid $469 total, and that's after adding a 20% tip since gratuity was not already included. And if your waitress is Alyssa? That's the cherry on top. read more

The decor and ambiance are really nice. The staff and service were friendly and good, not as polished as the restaurant would suggest though. We ordered the All the Bites dish and all of the bites were really good. The Bacon wrapped dates were a nice surprise, deviled eggs were really good with a nice amount of crab. Lamb skewers were tasty, but the lobster fritters were a little over fried and took away from the flavor. We intended on ordering the Beef Wellington, but it was sold out this evening. Nothing else really appealed to us, so we didn't order anything else. That's not to say it is a bad menu though. I few items that I didn't like. We made reservations for two, and we were sat in a position where I was on the beach seat half of which was backed up to a pole, which was very uncomfortable. The table next to us was available and we were able to move. That spot in particular was uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend seating people there. The tables for two are really small also. Too small in my opinion. We didn't order a lot and we ran out of room really fast. It's a place I'd try again, I get the impression that they're still working out the kinks. Lots of potential, but I was a little underwhelmed given the kudos it has received on Social Media. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant , My husband surprised me with a dinner date. The waitress which was assigned to our table seemed very nervous , confused and not attentive at all , she was attending too many tables at once. Didn't introduce herself , or welcome us to the restaurant or go over the menu or specials if any. We started out with drinks I ordered a Coke and my husband ordered a crown and Coke and it had a weird taste , the Coke was not sweet at all and although it was a bottle , the portion that was served in a glass with ice had a weird taste , my husbands drink the same there was no taste of Coke only the crown and weird taste of the soda portion. We were not sure if it was the ice cubes or soda. We addressed the situation with the waitress and she seemed baffled and confused, she then asked if I wanted anything else and I asked for recommendation of non-alcoholic beverages, I chose without the punch drink and had the same experience no sweetness and it actually had a seltzer taste. Drinks 3/10, appetizers ( crab deviled eggs and crispy calamari ) 10/10, the sauce for the calamari was delicious. Entree 10/10 my husband had Skirt steak with twice baked potato's and I had ribeye with garlic fries. To end the nice we had the cheesecake which was actually great. Also a young lady came to our table to apologize for the service and issues with the drinks which was very nice of her , the ambiance was 10/10. Will we give the restaurant another try yes for sure read more

My husband and I came to this restaurant on a whim, and I was satisfied but he wasn't. We ordered the rolls which were good but had too much salt so I just brushed the chunks off the top. I ordered the Ora King salmon and really liked it. I liked the cook of it and the sauce it came with was phenomenal. We also got a side of fries which was a very large portion. We both shared them and still maybe got through half of them. We enjoyed the aioli they came with. My husband got the New York strip steak and it was more done than he had asked for. It was also cooked a bit unevenly. The waitress asked how the food was soon after we got it so we could've mentioned it, but my husband didn't want to. The waitress seemed to hover a lot but other than that she was pleasant. I enjoyed the vibes of the restaurant. I would return, but my husband wouldn't. It was a pretty hefty bill for the rating. read more

Went to the grill for date night last night and had a great experience. It was our first time there, and everyone from the hostess station, to our waitress, to the manager was very nice. We shared the mussels as an appetizer and the sauce was delicious! We ordered the crabcake and the rockfish as our dinners, with a side of fries to share, and everything was cooked to perfection. I wish I would've taken pictures because the plates came out so beautiful. As expected on a Saturday night, it was busy, but it didn't take away from our experience at all. I love the location of this restaurant and parking was easy in the nearby garage. We will definitely be back!! read more

Hubby and I checked out this spot on our recent date night. The vibes are 10/10. A beautiful designed space perfect for date night, girls night or special occasion. We were seated at the bar and service was also 10/10. I had the best espresso martini!! Will be back just for this drink! The only food we tried were the crab devil eggs. They were a 3/10. No crab favor at all.... read more

Perfect date-night vibes! I forgot my waitress's name, but she provided excellent service. The food was delicious, and the drink she recommended was also very good and strong--we love a stronger cocktail! This was a pre reservation by the way :) read more

Had a great experience overall! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was good, and the drinks were excellent. The chicken was a little dry, but it still tasted good. My only complaint was with the leftovers. I hadn't even finished half of my meal, but when they boxed it up, they only packed about half of the remaining main course and didn't include any of my sides. I got home expecting to enjoy the rest of my meal, only to find a small portion of the already dry chicken with nothing else. Aside from that, everything else was great. read more

The appetizer's were good (lamb, bacon wrapped dates...) but my entree (steak) came out cold as well as the rest of my parties food. We were seated at the bar and I had four female friends with me. The bartender was very attentive to them but my experience was lacking (waiting on refills, food). We asked for a manager by name because she came to our table a week prior and we had a great conversation. He told us that she was gone for the day. We told him that she was right there, we could see her in the kitchen. She greeted us earlier upon our arrival and made sure our pitcher of sangria was remade after we told her that it was very different from the one we had on our last visit. read more

We passed by this place and the atmosphere looked great. Made a reservation for a Saturday evening, date night. Ran late so called to let them know. The greeting and seating was pleasant. We ordered food and drink, was told that the food was going to be delayed. 15 min later we still waiting on the alcohol. The food finally came out. I picked up my napkin, out popped out a slice of steak, I ordered chicken. I was disgusted and my mood changed. Barely ate my food. The spinach side was tasty. The lady apologized and we got two free sides. Needless to saw this was our first and last time at this place. read more
