    Lumpia
    Shayla B.

    Lumpia is really spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce. Not authentic lumpiavery disappointing but if you like vegetarian spring rolls it'll work for you ‍

    a plate of nachos and chips

    First of all my husband and I wanted to sit by the beach and this restaurant happened to be near by on our walk. We wait to be seated and already one of the servers is having an attitude with another server and is coming off unwilling to seat us. She seats us anyways with an annoyance as if we were disturbing her obviously not busy restaurant. We ask her if we could sit at the tables by the water and immediately argues with us and says no and gives us some lame excuse to why we can't sit by the water. End up getting served by another more polite server. The food was questionable, the prices is nice and inexpensive but like they say you get what you paid for. It's very obvious that some of the food is microwave but that's just my opinion. The quality was just not their for the food. The restaurant it self was clean and well kept a and that's the only nice thing I could say about it.

    Burger and fries
    CrAzYcatmama M.

    Got poolside service while on a vacation this week and the food was pretty dang good! Burgers, chicken tenders and fries for the win! 4 stars because I don't recommend the mixed drinks. Expensive and have no alcohol..paid $11 for one drink and it was all juice with about half a shot of Malibu. The other was a $10 pina colada that they already have mixed but they have to add a shot of alcohol leaving it with a water like consistency. Stick to burgers and draft beer!

    Garden salad with balsamic vinegar

    I would def recommend this place to eat/drink. The food here is fantastic, everything I ordered here was delicious. I had the whale nachos, it was so good I ordered them two days in a row. My sister had the cheeseburger and fries very good. We shared mozzarella sticks and also had a salad and they were very good as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is very nice. The staff is very friendly. I would definitely return here.

    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.

    Went here Saturday after 2 pm for some lunch and drinks. It was pretty empty and quiet; ordered at…read morethe bar and was able to just sit where we wanted while we waited for our food. Loved the setup and the extra board games you can play along with shuffle board. I had brought my own uno cards to play and we sat in their little couches area. Def a comfortable and fun atmosphere. Ordered their Macho nachos (10/10) really yummy and a good portion, their wings in garlic parmesan (6/10) they really had no flavor as if they were just plain oven roasted wings and in mango habanero (9/10), and their loaded waffle fries (10/10). For drinks we had the Beachside mojito (9/10) and the Bahama mama (8/10); their drinks were pretty decent overall. Def will be going back soon; great date night spot and hangout spot with some friends. My overall rate of experience : 8.5/10

They were shuffleboard and bocce that you could pay to play. We didn't play anything because we were in a rush, but we did order a couple of appetizers. The appetizers were good. We had coconut shrimp, wings, and brisket sliders. The sliders came with waffle fries, but we didn't really eat those. We did finish everything else. If you're looking for a place to relax and hang out, beachside social totally gives that vibe. Next time we'll definitely play games.

We went on a Friday for happy hour which ran until 7pm. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day and they have ample outdoor seating. Only slightly disappointed they didn't have any cocktails on the happy hour menu. Ended up trying a Pina Colada and The CP's which tasted like peach and raspberry which was sweeter than I thought it would be, probably won't be ordering again. The highlight for me was the mussel bowl. It was so delicious and the garlic bread that it came with perfectly soaked up the juices. The shrimp were pretty good as well and give a decent amount for happy hour. The service was pretty good. It started getting busier as to be expected and took a little bit longer to get our checks. I would come back though especially for the mussels.
