Sabrina and Tyler did an awesome job of taking care of our massive table. Food and drinks were great, and the vibe was very chill.

the food was really good! and the service was every bette!! Melvin had great customer service. I will definitely be back for the food.!!

As someone who has lived in the 757 for 27 out of 29 of my years, I have to say this is my most favorite turn out at the waterside area in Norfolk. This location used to house a couple restaurants and bars but in the past few years has turned into such a family friendly area. There are several attractions suitable for everyone in the family. Such a beautiful area to explore, photograph and experience. read more

Chelle and Timmea waited on our tables for our company holiday party, that were very friendly, attentive and very responsive to our needs. Great food and great time. read more

Restaurant week choice was very good. Sabrina was very sweet and her service was great

I've been here twice since it opened and I'm just hoping that staff will be sorted out. Once I was ignored by bar tending staff, and the hostess didn't ask to seat me. I hope some training Is being done to offer an excellent experience at this beautiful new venue. Also, I expected top shelf options at the patio bars and didn't have any high end liquor options, and nothing local to the region. I hope I'll have a different experience next visit **update: I've been here several times since and the events are wonderful that are coordinated by Waterside. Individual restaurants and bars are variable on service, but the staff seems to be much more well-trained in hospitality and service. I recommend it for a night out with friends and large events. Parking in the attached garages for $5 is preferred! read more

Service was great! Food was wonderful and my waitress Sabrina was awesome! First time at restaurant I would go back!

First time here and I had a blast, the DJ was mixing old and new school music that catered to all ages and demographics. I cut up the dance floor and then got some strong mixed drinks with the energetic and exciting staff. The outdoor area has giant Jenga and overlooks the water front. It's a large area that could easily cater to groups of 20+. Multiple levels and options to have fun. read more

My wife is a native Norfolk'ian and I'm not too many years behind. We remember coming to family-friendly Waterside as kids, particularly for seeing the boats, Phillips seafood restaurant, the Fudgery and Kitty Hawk Kites. In my college years, it suffered an identity crisis morphing into part restaurant scene and part after dark club scene, neither truly being family friendly. Naturally, when the latter was frequented more heavily, it caused lots of confounding problems that ultimately catalyzed facility-wide closure. When family-friendly redevelopment plans were announced and the grand re-opening eventually occurred in May 2017, my inner child did a cartwheel! To avoid crowds, I waited several months to visit but my kids got to understand my "fudgery stories" as they experienced it for themselves! That nostalgia is priceless; however, beyond that, the caliber of offerings in Waterside really boils down to a glorified food court comprised of "paying for the name" caliber fast food with a centrally located projection TV and small live stage. Our family doesn't mind paying for GOOD food but there isn't a single restaurant or business in Waterside that entices me to return, especially when you factor paying to park. I'm not asking for an entirely hipster hangout but there's a sense of commercialism lacking anything that's uniquely our own! On another note, when exploring local venues for a private gala with 250 anticipated attendees, the Waterside event supervisor showed up late to our appointment and ultimately never followed through. Clearly, this can be chalked up to unprofessional kinks needing to be worked out. read more

Review #247 - 2019 This was also one of the spots that I had bookmarked prior to my visit to Norfolk. If you guessed that it's because I wanted a picture with the Norfolk mural, you guessed correctly! When I mentioned it to my girlfriend, she guessed it right away because her office is located inside the city center and she sees this mural everyday! It was supposed to be one those quick hit & run stop--where we'd just jump out of the car to snap a few quick photos with the mural then leave. Surprisingly, we ended up staying here for almost two hours! We showed up around 3:45 PM on Monday, September 2nd. Being that it was Labor Day, I assumed it would be pretty busy, but there weren't too many people around at all. My daughter had a great time playing in the water park. She was soaking wet so we had to let her walk around a bit to dry off. We were thinking about having dinner at Guy Fieri, but neither of us were too hungry so we ended up just grabbing some ice cream at the Fudgery, which was just ok. They have a decent selection of restaurants/bars, which I didn't really look around much, but this place would definitely be a great after work hang out spot. We didn't leave until 5:45 PM so I guess we did stay around for 2 full hours. read more

Nice area. They often have festivals going on here. You can find nice restaurants here too!

Went to check out the taco festival. I had a wonderful time. Parking was easy to find and the line wasn't that long at all to get in. I purchased tickets on Eventbrite. There were so many vendors and people the lines were a little long but overall great time. Live band and the bars were open. read more

Terry Was very exceptional when it came to helping me park, I was able to find a spot quick and efficiently for our reservation.

Shout out to Terry for taking good care of the cars at the Holiday party. Niceand very polite guy

Chelle & Tamea were very attentive. Great customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blue Moon Tap house- great time at our Christmas party Chelle and Timmea took good care of us!

great group dinner at the Blue Moon Taphouse. our server, Savannah, did a great job with our party of 17!

We came here for the taco festival. I haven't been inside of the district until today... at least not in several years. I thought it was nicely remodeled. The set up was obviously catered to the taco festival but I liked the long bar areas and open floor plan. When you are on the second floor you can see the downstairs area because they have transparent walls while you sit and eat. Nice area to hang out at! read more

The renovation of the Waterside is awesome. Many restaurants within side, Nauticus museum a short walk, open park right on the water, and the endless festivals and music scenes has really taken this place to new heights. The Macarthur center and man street shopping is just a block away. There is a great time to be had by all. This is a great location to meet after work for a drink or two, to get a way from all the hassle and bustle, and even dinner with the family...or with that special someone and then take a walk along the water way. there is a multi parking garage right across the street. read more

Great addition to downtown/ waterside Norfolk really needed this. Hopefully this keeps the Granby restaurant on their toes #stepitup not that the food options at waterfront district is anything to write home about but it gives us options. But really a Chipotle... come on at least give us a decent Tex mex burrito place not chipotle #Fail read more

Waterside District - View from sky walk - Sports Bars Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Upon first seeing this place I was amazed at the huge open space and how it was filled with various shops and bars. I mean when you walk it it looks like a sports lovers dream. Basically it is one very large open mall primarily aimed at watching sports and, at least for a football lover like myself, seems like the go-to place on a Saturday or Sunday in Fall or Winter. The outside is very beautiful overlooking the water and having a nice promenade to walk on and enjoy the view. So, why only 3 stars. Well, when I went to the bathroom, they were out of soap. This was a particular point of issue for my friend who has been concerned about COVID and could not understand why they would not be sufficiently stocked on soap, especially with how germ-ridden bathrooms are likely to be. While it is certainly possible, and likely, that the shortage and thus bottleneck occurred further back on the supply chain. Nonetheless, it unfortunately detracted from the experience given her more than reasonable concern. This place is easily capable of 5 stars and I could definitely see myself enjoying the greater part of the day or evening chilling out here with friends or strangers and enjoying some college football or NFL. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! It's a fantastic venue to meet up with friends, family or co-workers. Outdoor seating with heaters and fire pit are available if you want to sit by the waterside and watch the boats. Its a very relaxing and fun space Indoors you have several bar and restaurant options including a wine bar! Tons of seating and definitely a great place to bring large groups. Hot tip*** New Years this place is off the hook fun and is a great place to party. VIP tickets sold for $150 per person and Gold tickets sold for $95. The event included food stations from every restaurant from 8-11 pm DJ's and a live band (the delorians) Customer service was excellent despite the massive crowds for New Years. All-in-all a fantastic time! read more

Big 4th of July event tonight, and they have 1 bartender at each of the bars, and most of them said they aren't serving any food. How do you go into a place called Rocky Mountain Grill and they aren't serving food, and I learned that after waiting in a line behind 4 groups of people for 20 minutes. The taco bar and Guy Fieri's are the only places that have food apparently. I stood at the Taco bar for 20 minutes to order food, only to be told you can only order on the other side where the cook is. Emphasis on "cook" because there is only 1 guy taking orders for food and cooking it. So I stood in that line for a good 20-30 minutes, and once he said he's gonna have to stop taking orders soon because he needs a break I left. I understand there is a big event going on and it's gonna be busy, but this is what you get when you have 1 person working at the each bar and the ownership obviously only cares about taking in as much money as possible. Would have been much better with 2-3 bartenders at each bar and a couple cooks for hundreds of people. read more

This place was beautiful and very scenic. It has lots of little dessert shops, bars and restaurants within it. It is right next to the water. Has live music and outdoor seating. Not super busy or crowded from my experience. read more

This area is Thee hub of Norfolk, The tourist area and from what I understand was recently renovated. It's a great spot. Several bars, coffee shops, restaurants, massive TV's Toilets etc. We came here to watch one of the World Cup games and drink some fantastic bloody Mary's. I have to say they were damn good. Entrance from the street and the back doors take you directly into the water front where you can watch the massive ships do their thing in the harbor. This is a military town as you can tell from all the military activities on the harbor. Cool to watch. The indoors is a great way to spend several hours away from the stifling heat and throngs of people. read more

Waterside is awesome and I am beyond glad that they have turned that entire area around! When I first moved here over 8 years ago, I visited Waterside and it was nothing more than a gift shop and Joe's Crab Shack! For as amazing as Norfolk and Town Point Park is, it was a shame that the area down there remained as much until Waterside was formed! Now, Waterside is a thriving locating for locals and tourists alike! There is always an event happening down there, it's boasts several places to eat, things to do and music to hear! I have eaten at a few of the places inside including Guy Fieri's, Luk Fu, Blue Moon Taphouse, The Harbor Club, Stripers, & the Fudgery! I have been there for private events, special events, Harborfest and more! I thoroughly enjoy going to Waterside to eat, to have a meeting or just for a drink! The patio facing the Blue Moon Stage and water is my favorite place to sit and sip or eat and I am always impressed by the music and view! Overall, Norfolk is so lucky to now have the revamped Waterside District because it really is the place to be! I look forwarding to many more events, dinners, drinks and such at Waterside over the coming years! read more

This is a cool little spot in Norfolk Virginia. The first draw that made me come here was Guy Fieri's restaurant. More on that later. When I entered they were setting up for a Mardi Gras party. From what I could see there were several restaurants in the area with a lot going on. You could go for Chipotle, the Blue Moon Tap House, Cogan's Pizza, etc. It was mid-day so everyone was inside watching college basketball games. I ended up grabbing a seat at the bar ordering some chicken wings and watching the game. Now I am not a Norfolk local so I don't have much knowledge on how it is here every weekend but from the one time I was there it was a fun time. read more

I went there tonight with my son only to find out that 95% of it was rented out for a private event. I was stuck eating at Guy Fieri's Smokehouse. I had never been there before & I did not enjoy it. We couldn't even get a sweet treat or ride the Sky Star because of that event. My parking should have been free then. What a waste. I was just here last week for MixxedFit & really enjoyed myself. This has really ruined my outlook on Waterside. The live band was great though & I enjoyed them from OUTSIDE the private event gate. Lol. Thanks! They are the only reason I am giving a 3 star today. read more

The first time I went here I was with some friends and we just wanted to check the area out. We tried going to Blue Moon Brewing Company, but it was pretty busy so we just ended up eating at Luk Fu (delicious, simple ramen, btw). I like how this establishment is designed. There are main restaurants on every corner, but the center has a bunch of almost "pop-up" like venues to eat at, but you can sit anywhere. There's a bar in the center which I also thought was pretty neat. When we went there was live music and I enjoyed that a lot too. It makes the ambiance of the place fun and upbeat. Definitely looking forward to another trip back! read more
