    Wine flight
    Jazlyn G.

    My boyfriend and I came to Water's Edge Winery for a lunch date, and it honestly exceeded our expectations! First off, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous--bright, beautifully decorated, and spotless. It has such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your time. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our waitress truly made the experience special. She was so knowledgeable about the wines and took the time to guide us through our tasting right at the table. We started with the sangria flight and then let her surprise us by choosing our second flight, and she absolutely nailed it! For lunch, we ordered the shrimp taco appetizer, the steak panini, and the grilled chicken & prosciutto panini. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a lighter lunch. It was one of those meals that leaves you feeling satisfied without being overly heavy. Overall, this was the perfect lunch date. Between the beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, and fun wine tasting experience, we had such a great time. I would absolutely come back and would definitely recommend it for a date, girls' day, or even just a relaxing afternoon with friends!

    We arrived just after 4pm, only dinners in, had our choice of seating in the elegantly modern, nautical atmosphere. It was very clean and inviting. The music playlist was from my mid 1980's HS years...loved that Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu, checked on items that she wasn't sure of, regarding our spice/allergy levels. The Brussel sprouts appetizer was phenomenal! We opted to have the feta on the side, due to one of our preferences, they were totally accommodating. I had a tasting of the white wines, wonderful broad spectrum of palate pleasing flavors and textures. There is a large private room for reserving. The gift shop has an array of gifts from, of course, their wines, but also candles, wine accessories, and canned/bottled sangrias and much more. Great monthly events are scheduled at the Waters Edge, too!!

    First time at Waters Edge and it was a good experience. We booked a table in advance for a Saturday lunch meet and found that the parking lot out front was already full at 12:05 (they open at 12:00!) Ambiance: Inside is stunning. It's well laid out, has great lighting, and very nice booths which make for cozy get togethers. Service: 5/5. Amber was fantastic. She was enthusiastic, very friendly, and checked on us often to make sure we were okay. Drinks: 4/5. I chose the "build your own flight" and went with the toasted coconut, pineapple pear, raspberry peach sangria, and dragonfruit sangria. In all honesty none of the wines were bad, but the pours were a little less than I expected considering you pay extra to choose your own, not every glass was level. The same for my two girls who came with me and also chose the build your own option. Food: 4/5. We all chose the Mediterranean salad with different proteins (shrimp, chicken, tuna.) It all tasted amazing but the portion was very small for how much the meal was. Overall, a solid 4 stars. I would come back again if in the area to try other wines and a different meal to see if this experience measures up and if the pours are a little more generous next time around.

    Inside is really nice, the wine was okay! I wasn't super impressed by the sangria flight but I think it was just because the sangria flight is set with their most popular flavors, but they aren't ones I would've picked. Everyone at my table really liked them though. I got a glass of the coconut sangria and that was 10/10.

    Sooo, Waters Edge Winery & Bistro is such a beautiful spot with plenty of tasting options. This was the start of a girls' day for us, so we didn't eat much just shared an appetizer. We mainly came for the wine, and trust we had wine! The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and chill. I'd definitely come back to try more of the wine... and maybe some more food next time.

    Amazing date night location! Locally veteran owned business that impressed me from the moment we stepped in the door. We enjoyed a pick your own wine flight and two of their entrees. The staff is very knowledgeable and explains how the wine is made at the winery. Amazing wine from all over the country and the food was delicious too. This is the perfect location if you want to try something different in the Norfolk area!

    We had the best Mother's Day lunch here! This place is beautiful - just the right combination of tasteful nautical and clean modern decor! The service was so friendly and prompt! And their food and wine were amazing! Everything was fresh and delicious! I also loved the live music, plenty of parking and you can make reservations online.

    Preselected sangria flight options

    Came for dinner with friends to celebrate wine month. I had a reservation but it wasn't packed. I was told we could sit wherever. Choose a large booth near the live music, a gentleman playing a keyboard. The menus had a lot of tasty options. I got the salmon and substitute the couscous with orzo and got a side of brussel sprouts. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was good. The orzo was extremely bland. The brussel sprouts were great!! My friends and I decided to do the wine flights. I got the sangria flight and my friends tried variety between sangria, red and white wine. The sangrias were ok. The biggest complaint was th fact the sangria flight is listed at $21, but if you don't do the preselected options it's an additional charge of $6. It's definitely more cost effective and beneficial to share a bottle of wine with friends instead of paying $27 for a flight. I would come back for lunch maybe.

    I've been back a few times since my initial review when they first opened. For this review covering the past year I would give them 3 1/2 stars. A few things from my visits: Lunch visit: I sat out on the patio with a group of 6. Our waitress was not good. Maybe she was new and inexperienced. Food took a while, waitress could not answer questions, and wine was disappointing to especially one in our group. Her Chardonnay was not to her liking (too sweet) so she did not drink it. No replacement was offered and her full glass just remained at the table. Food was "meh" this day for all of us. At one point the waitress told us she could see some of our food was ready in the kitchen and wanted to know if she should bring out what was ready or leave it back there. The owner came by the table to check on us at the end of our meal. He obviously understood that things were not going great for our table but he didn't ask what went wrong or what could be better. Missed opportunity for him. Dinner: most recently we went as a table of 4 for dinner. Everyone was pretty happy with their meals. I had the peach glazed salmon which was plentiful. Another guest at our table was happy that the flatbreads were gluten free. Unfortunately, after a guest placed their order the waiter returned 5 minutes later to say they ran out of that item. When we were choosing our wine for the meal, our waiter was not very helpful or knowledgeable. We wanted to get a bottle to share and he was very hesitant to ask the bartender for a taste before we purchased an entire bottle. They hesitantly brought a splash but it seemed like it was an annoyance. I would probably recommend doing a flight tasting unless you really know you would like the wine to get a bottle. Their wine seems much lighter and not as full bodied in comparison to wine that we normally drink (red wine). The ambiance inside was nice and relaxing. Our table was comfortable and clean.

    I'm in LOVE! Waters Edge is just what Norfolk needed! I'm from out of town, but visit the Hampton Roads often. They've only been open a short time, but the owner welcomed us and gave us a lovely overview of the restaurant and the wine club. Do yourself a favor and sign up on Mondays for a discount! They've got a private room for special events, and a beautiful dining space with a balance of casual and intimacy. Great for friends or a date! Now to the food: my goodness it was divine! I ate too much food and didn't even snag pics! The Brussels sprouts weren't over seasoned, yet flavorful. The salmon was the star of the show! And the risotto was sensational! The wines were amazing! The Bordeaux is the star! My family enjoyed the red wine flight (you can customize or get the wines they recommend). Overall, Waters Edge is a 10/10! I cannot wait to return!

    Met a few friends this was a half way meeting point. They have a wonderful menu and we each ordered a different flight and so enjoyed them very much Ordered: Sparkling Wine Flight Virginia Hot Crab Dip Italian Burrata Parmesan Truffle Fries Sangria Flight Wine Flight Charcuterie Board That gave us a large sampling of the menu and we shared almost everything That Burrata Salad was the best I've ever had. Our server Meagan was very attentive and did a great job. There's also an outside seating area

    Greek flatbread
    Sarena G.

    I love this place. 4/5 because I feel like they need to broaden their menu out and offer some more items, but overall I will continue to go here. Live music on Friday's, that was a nice surprise! The gal was an extremely good singer! The ambiance is chill, relaxed, fancy vibes. But also very welcoming. I had the Greek flatbread. It was okay. I think maybe it needed some ingredients I can't quite pin point. Just kinda tasted like tomato sauce. Waited a while for the server to come by and get me a second drink. It wasn't that busy so I'm not sure why I took that long. But over all it's a good place. I've tried a few other things on other visits and they were very good, like the fries, the Brussels sprouts, and the steak frites.

    Outdoor patio
    Marie F.

    Gorgeous space! Went there for an office Christmas party, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the vibe and decor. Open concept, modern yet inviting. Beautiful and spacious outdoor heated patio! They have a full menu, but our private party had a limited menu. Portions were very small in my opinion, but everyone enjoyed the chicken, salmon, and curry entrees. I also do not drink wine, but the party of about 50 people enjoyed many varieties. Water's Edge even made up custom wine bottles four out company's owners as a group gist, complete with the logo. Really nice touch! Our wait staff for the private party could not have been more helpful and lovely. Highly recommend checking out this new spot in Norfolk!

    It has been nearly three weeks; I can stop thinking about No Frill Bar and Grill…read more I'm a military spouse, so I know my time in Hampton Roads is coming to an end soon. I visited a Hampton Roads Restaurant group on FB and asked if someone was visiting from out of town: What is your go-to place to take them? Out of 90+ comments, No Frill Bar and Grill was mentioned the most - six times! So when I finally had a day off and some other business to tend to in Norfolk, it was the perfect excuse to finally try them. No Frill Bar and Grill has been open for nearly 30 years by Jerry Meltsner. Jerry's nephew Jon Kliner helps co-own and manage operations. It originally opened on Tidewater Drive, but the space didn't allow for much growth - 10 years later, he moved to a location off Colley Avenue and Spotswood Avenue. Growth continued, moving from counter service to table service. The second location, at 1620 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach, opened in 2005. The restaurant's longevity stems from quality, consistency, price, service, and staff who genuinely care about the business and serving the community. I asked the server for her opinion on two options - Salmon, Shrimp and grits won. The dish was incredible: lightly blackened salmon, for once blackened food that doesn't just taste like salt. I don't dine with the swine, so I asked for no andouille sausage. The sautéed shrimp, caramelized onions, tomatoes, and spinach simmered in Norfolk Canyon ale sauce over cheesy grits and Boursin lavash cracker. The cheesy grits were smooth, and the Boursin lavash cracker was a nice touch. The Boursin added extra creaminess to the meal. The cracker wasn't really a cracker - more like little toasted bread. After this first meal, I know two things for sure: 1. I definitely understand why it is such a local favorite, and 2. I will be back.

The restaurant was fairly empty, with only three other tables occupied, so we were surprised by the length of the wait. Our two canned Sapporos didn't arrive until about 30 minutes after ordering. The shrimp sandwich took approximately 45 minutes, and the Vang rolls arrived after about an hour. After waiting an hour, we were informed that the garlic shrimp for our garlic noodles was unavailable, despite it being part of our original order. Unfortunately, the Vang rolls were so salty that we couldn't finish them. Throughout the meal, our water glasses were never refilled, and there was little communication about the delays or unavailable menu items. After roughly 90 minutes of waiting, multiple delays, and learning that several items were unavailable, we decided to pay for what we had received the two Sapporos, the shrimp sandwich, and the Vang rolls, which came to about $70. Perhaps we visited on an off night, but the combination of the slow service, poor communication, unavailable menu items, and disappointing food quality made for a frustrating experience. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning. +1 Vibe +0 Taste +0 Presentation +0 Service +0 Value

The inside was better than expected a "WE HAVE WINE" sign displayed prominently near the drink cooler, swag section.

Friendly, attentive service without being overbearing is always appreciated, and she struck that balance perfectly. My wife ordered the Red Curry Bowl with blackened chicken, baby bok choy, radishes, carrots, green onions, cilantro, and rice noodles in a rich red curry coconut broth. This dish was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious. The vegetables were fresh, the broth was flavorful without being overpowering, and the generous portion made for a hearty meal. In fact, there was simply too much to finish, which is rarely something to complain about. She thoroughly enjoyed it. I chose The Richmond, a fried chicken sandwich topped with pimento cheese, bacon, jalapeños, Mike's Hot Honey, spicy aioli, lettuce, and tomato on a potato bun, served with fresh-cut fries. The chicken itself was excellent, and the fries were crispy, fresh, and plentiful. Where the sandwich lost me was in its identity. There was so much happening between the pimento cheese, spicy aioli, bacon, jalapeños, and hot honey that each ingredient seemed to compete with the others rather than complement them. Somewhere along the way, it crossed the Rubicon from a Nashville hot chicken sandwich into something entirely different. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It simply wasn't for me. I finished it, and I certainly didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't order it again. Sometimes restraint is the better part of culinary creativity, and I think this sandwich would benefit from letting one or two of its ingredients take center stage instead of asking them all to share the spotlight. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. Good food, generous portions, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere make Craft on Colley a place we'll happily return to.

It's an old church built in 1873 as the Second Presbyterian Church, and it's been home to Freemason Abbey since 1989. The inside is really cool and gives the place a lot of character. You'll see some of that in my photos. I started with their she crab soup, which was excellent. It's one of their specialty soups and had that creamy, rich flavor you'd expect from a good she crab soup. For dinner, I was originally going to try the smoked gouda dish, but they had a chicken parm special for $24, so I went with that instead. Chicken breast, marinara, linguini and provolone cheese. Really glad I did. It was hot, flavorful and presented nicely. My only complaint was that it could have used a little more marinara, but I asked and they brought me some without any problem. Service was great from start to finish. I was there around 5:30, before the dinner rush, so it wasn't very busy, but everything came out promptly and there were no issues at all. Overall, definitely a cool place with a unique atmosphere, good food and great service. I'd absolutely go back again.
