seafood pasta
Gwendolyn T.

Went to Yard house a month ago my sweetheart and I had dinner and the food. Atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. The wait Staff was so friendly. This is the Yard house restaurant in the Rivers casino in Portsmouth, loved it.....

Cheeseburger Sliders

I met with a group of friends here before seeing a band perform inside the casino. It was very crowded, so it took longer than they predicted to be seated, and although the staff were working hard, it also took long for our food to come out. So, keep that in mind if you have plans after dining. We all enjoyed the Brussels Sprout appetizer- yummy! My cheese burger sliders were ok, maybe a little overdone, but those and the fries hit the spot. In the area? Check Them Out!

We chose Yard House at Rivers Casino to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it reminded us why it's one of our favorite places to eat. Even though it was busy, we were seated quickly and made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent as always. One thing we love about Yard House is that we can always count on a great meal and outstanding service no matter how crowded it is. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Of course, no trip is complete without their smoked Old Fashions!

A 10 and I highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed with this meal! It's $27 for this presentation of a Thai Grilled Pork Chop! Make sure you pair it with some Cavit Moscato wine!!

Yard House became a regular stop for me and my husband, so I've tried a lot of their menu. We've gone at various times of day and always had good service and food. I also appreciate the lighting (in contrast to the casino floor) and the music is usually something I can sing along to. I've also had a few selections from the drink menu, and those haven't disappointed either. As long as this standard continues to be met, I'm sure will visit for lunch dates or on nights we don't want to cook.

Firecracker Shrimp

My Bestie and I decided to eat here after bevinjbg hungry while at Rivers. This was the only spot that was t crowded. I have been to a Yard House before, but it has been some years. This visit did not do it for me. Our Food Concierge, Rudy, was attentive and friendly. I ordered the calamari and it was good. The honey mustard sauce seemed sweeter than I prefer. I am grateful that I hit the Firecracker shrimp naked because the sauce was .... Interesting. I definitely preferred to dip the shrimp. The rice cake.... Didn't like it at all. The presentation was nice. My wine was good and the fries were decent. I believe the portions were worth the money, but not the flavors. I will say that it did not seem very busy, yet, it took a while to get our food and drinks. Also, we noticed tables that were seated after us, receive their orders before us. We do not blame Rudy as he continually checked on us.

Whiskey Glazed Salmon
Shilisa D.

Let me start off by saying Kemi was the best server! She was attentive and friendly. This was my first time at this location adjacent to Rivers. The atmosphere was okay. It was a little congested with the tables being in close proximity of one another. The chicken nachos were good. The whiskey salmon was flavorful but the vegetables were hard, I couldn't cut through them. I brought it to the attention of the manager and he was not friendly or accommodating he said he would let the chef know inside of replacing them.

The Carnivore Pizza
Stacy S.

We love coming here when we're in town because we don't have one locally. Everything is always great! The service is always fast. Our food was delicious. We ordered the poke nachos, the pizza with pepperoni and sausage and the club sandwich. Our server was attentive. It was Preeti busy as it was a Saturday during lunch time.

Firecracker Shrimp

This restaurant has so much potential and honestly they just haven't made the cut in my eyes. The establishment as a whole is aesthetically pleasing and extremely spacious. Now, let's talk food! EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS TASTELESS!!!! We started with the firecracker shrimp. The presentation was beyond beautiful. The server brought it to the table and the shrimp were stacked nicely on top of a fried potato cake and it was garnished with some type of red stringy plant. The shrimp barely had any sauce on it. Next, I ordered the pepperoni pizza with a side of wings. I asked for two flavors which were lemon pepper and Korean spicy garlic. The Korean chicken came coated with sauce, green onions and maybe some french onion pieces. It was just spicy honestly. Not seasoned thoroughly. The lemon pepper chicken wasn't seasoned either and barely had sauce once again. The pepperoni pizza wasn't anything to call home about. We ordered the grilled chicken with fries for my toddler. Let's just say it was the last dish to hit the table. Kids meal should be served first. So, the grilled chicken wasn't charred in several ways to the point we really had to take our time and cut it up to the point where our child could eat it. My guy ordered steak(well done), but the waitress insisted that he order it medium well; being that they chargrill it and she didn't want it to be served hard. He picked broccolini, mashed potatoes, and asparagus as his sides. Well, the steak was very tender so thank you to the waitress for that, but overall the experience with our foods weren't it. I was totally disappointed. Beautiful establishment that really needs better cooks or chefs.

No way, it's actually good So it's the standard YH. They look and feel the same. Big floor space with a bar that seems to have endless beer. The seats and booths are spacious and the menu is the size of a standard phone book. Do Gen Z people know what a phone book is? Anyway these guys are located inside Rivers casino. There's two public doors but only one entrance and the other exit/entrance. I got two dishes. The poke nachos and this shittake garlic mushroom pasta (recommend by my server) The poke was good and I'm comparing this to home. The chips were crispy and held the poke nicely. Good flavoring and generous amount of fish. The pasta was just a surprise. It was really good. At first I was hesitant because there was no protein but it doesn't need it. Very good blend of flavors and my only regret was I didn't an another plate. Overall five stars. Pricing is reasonable and everything I got was good. M

Fried Calamari just to name a few! Great!
Ace E.

Sam and Spencer were amazing! The environment is wonderful. Service of quality food is definitely on point. The steak is to die for! We are definitely going back regularly. Their Long Island Ice tea is fantastic!!!

The lamb chops were tasty and cooked to perfection. The oyster Rockefeller was okay. The oysters were small and the bacon overpowered the taste. The sweet praline was full of stringy potatoes.

You can taste the vodka without it being too overpowering. Food: We got the happy hour appetizer lamb chops which were tender and yummy. For entrees I got the lobster ravioli and my husband got the sea bass. The lobster ravioli was good and they give you a lot of food. My only complaint was that the sauce overpowered the flavor of the lobster. Perhaps if they give less sauce then it would be better. My husband really enjoyed his sea bass and had no complaints. I went on my birthday so they gave us a free dessert. The tiramisu was light and not too sweet. The portion for the tiramisu was also huge so we got to take it home Overall I would love to go back again and try more of their happy hour or lady's night!

Stopped in downtown Norfolk and decided to try Freemason Abbey Restaurant after hearing about it…read more The area itself was just okay, but the restaurant is definitely worth checking out because of the building. 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. Sometimes the building is half the meal, and this one definitely has a story to tell!

Five stars without hesitation. I'd come back again, although I'm still waiting for someone to tell me the password to the dessert menu. 10/10. Would eat here again. Would also investigate suspicious-looking fireplaces.

I walked in expecting dinner and walked out wondering if I could legally marry a restaurant. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was on point, and the service was so good I briefly considered pretending it was my birthday just to see if they'd adopt me. Every bite was delicious enough to make me forget my responsibilities, my bank account, and the fact that I have absolutely no business eating like royalty on a regular basis. La Grande is the kind of place that makes you look at your meal, look at your dining companions, and silently judge their life choices for not ordering what you ordered. I would tell you exactly what I ate, but honestly, I was too busy having a religious experience over my plate. Five stars. My only complaint is that I eventually had to leave, which frankly seems like a terrible business model. If you're in Norfolk and haven't been here, fix that immediately. Your taste buds deserve better, and your wallet can file a formal complaint later.

On the advice of a friend, we decided to try LeGrand Kitchen, located at 4226 Granby Street near…read morethe foot of the bridge in the heart of Norfolk. The atmosphere here has quite a flair. Not overly dramatic, but it's definitely a vibe. Allen, the bartender, greeted us warmly as we settled in at the bar, our favorite perch in most restaurants. My wife perused the drink menu and decided on an Old Fashioned. They do it correctly here, using a mixing glass to properly combine the ingredients before pouring it over a large cube of ice. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Little things like that get my attention, and it was an early indication that the rest of our evening was going to be memorable. We indulged heavily in the appetizers, starting with LeGrand's rendition of a Wedge Salad with bacon, cheddar, dill pickle ranch and fried pickles. The pickle influence was a welcome twist. Everything was fresh, delicious and incredibly well balanced, and the dressing complemented the ingredients perfectly. We really enjoyed this salad. Next up were the Smoked Wings, tallow fried and served with Vietnamese-style ranch, pickled vegetables and fish sauce caramel. This was an amazing dish. I generally like my wings spicy, but I didn't miss the heat at all with this version. They were perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining juicy inside, and the pickled root vegetables were a wonderful touch. My wife ordered the Berkshire Heritage Pork Chop from Twisted Willow Farms, served with garlic-fried Carolina rice, haricot vert and harissa carrot purée. I knew how good it was by the stingy offerings made by my wife. Just kidding, but she really did enjoy it very much. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, with the fat properly rendered and slightly crisp. Everything was beautifully seasoned, and all the components worked together exceptionally well. I opted for the LeGrand Burger: double patties, American cheese, pickled lettuce, jalapeño, griddled onion and roasted shallot mayo on a Big Marty bun. Every so often, I encounter a burger that requires nothing. Please bear in mind that I am a self-proclaimed Condiment King. I LOVE ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise on my burgers. I didn't even bother asking for anything extra to put on this wonderful creation. Everything was incredibly well balanced and delicious. If I have one complaint, it's that they don't offer French fries with the burger. But in retrospect, I didn't really miss them. And I love my fries (or, as my wife calls them, "ketchup conveyance vehicles"). This was probably the best burger I've ever eaten. Check out LeGrand Kitchen. You'll be happy you did, and you can rest assured that while enjoying some seriously good food, you're also supporting our local restaurant community.

Inside is very well done - clearly recently updated and very modern. Music is pretty loud in there but I enjoyed it, my older parents had a little more issues hearing. Service - waiter was very nice and friendly, they have electronic ordering right tableside so if there is an issue or error can be a little difficult to fix! He did originally deliver the wrong food and even when questioned just changed what he called it but it was wrong. Kitchen showed they likely have a lot of new staff. Medium steak came out first and each meal was delivered individually and with a pretty significant time difference. Medium steak was basically rare in the middle, we didn't opt to send it back though we could have. It was seasoned really well! I had the party platter and everyone was really great!
