Diner Reviews

"An excellent spot for your best dining experience, great staff, very good food, big winelist and very attentive staff"
Dined on 7/21/2014
"Great place for a romantic dinner. Food is awesome and sexy."
Dined on 7/18/2014
"We had an amazing diner- the service and food were outstanding! Excellent wine list!"
Dined on 7/17/2014
"I took my business partner there for dinner. Service was great without being obtrusive. They gave us enough space to talk and at the same time didn't miss a thing. Food was very tasty also. We will do more business dinners there in the future."

"We have lived in the area for 15 years and we were looking for something a little special and a little quieter for our anniversary dinner. I had no recommendations for Salacia other than seeing signs for it while at Catch 31. But, I made the reservation online (easy peasy) and the restaurant called to confirm and gave us an option for outdoor/indoor seating. We had a clear explanation of the difference between indoor and outdoor seating and it was close enough to our actual reservation that we had a good guess on weather. We chose outside and it felt like we were the only ones there...top that off with a beautiful view and the most delish filet I've ever had...we are hooked!"

"Everything was great. I took my girlfriend there for her birthday and she loved it."
Dined on 7/9/2014
"The service was terrible took about 15 minutes to get bread/appetizer. Then took roughly 45 minutes to receive our entree. There were several tables that received their food way ahead of us and had larger groups. The food was good, but not great. The dining area was trying to be cozy and romantic but just ended up feeling cramped. I would not recommend going here unless enjoy wasting money."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"You walk through the terrific noise of Ocean 31 with its exciting music and enthusiastic folks, past the cooks and busy waiters -- getting in their way, but they don't mind -- then go through the door to Salacia into silence and space and graciousness, a sweet view of the beach, and the best damn food you ever enjoyed. It's our idea of the perfect experience."
Dined on 6/28/2014
"Salacia is a regular spot for us. We go there at least once a month. Food, service, ambiance, everything was perfect. We are looking forward our next visit."
Dined on 6/24/2014
"Great food would tell anyone about this restaurant"
Dined on 6/23/2014
"The food was excellent, had the steak and shrimp which the shrimp was huge and steak was good. A little extra seasoning would have made it perfect. Waiter was excellent. I didn't like the fact that the closest restroom was co-ed though, went in and there was urine on the toilet."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"We have been to Salacia 3 times now, first being recommended by a friend. Every time thus far has been absolutely amazing. The first time my boyfriend and I went was for our anniversary. My boyfriend went early to drop off roses and a card, and the management took complete care of everything. The roses and card were on the perfect table overlooking the ocean when we arrived. I would recommend this restaurant to any one in the Virginia Beach area. My boyfriend said it was the best steak he has ever had in his life."
Dined on 6/14/2014
"It was our 1st time at Salacia and we were not disappointed. We had very excellent service and the food was awesome. It was my Husband's 50th Birthday and I surprised him with Dinner for 2. He enjoyed it very much. The best steaks that I think we have ever had, they were very tender and had an awesome taste. The Desserts are to die for. We will definitely be back to visit in the future. Thank you very much!"

"The food and staff were awesome. Very fast service and it was excellent"
Dined on 6/6/2014
"It is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Phenomenal food, spectacular service, and just an overall great experience. I will definitely be going back when I go back to Virginia Beach"
Dined on 6/3/2014
"We took our friend for her birthday dinner and it was very relaxing and the food was fabulous. We all had seafood which was recommended by the waiter as well as appetizers and dessert. We all would return again for the excellent food. "

"However we did have to ask to move to another table ...the gas lantern would not stay lit and it would constantly fire the electronic ignitor which was annoying "
Dined on 5/21/2014
"Filet mignon and grilled shrimp -- shrimp awesome, steak overcooked, sent back and returned perfect. Kitchen sent me a potato dish and 4 more shrimp as a very nice apology/compensation! The short ribs were very tender with outstanding flavor. The salads were gorgeous, interesting,fresh, crisp and pretty. All The food had a beautiful presentation! It was a very quiet weekend in VA Beach and none of the restaurants were very crowded so it was an especially relaxing, attentive and quiet evening. The wine is a little expensive. We did not have dessert."
Dined on 5/18/2014
"This was our second visit to Salacia and we enjoyed it. It was a great night for Salacia since the place was packed. The previous time we visited Salacia it was the OFF season and the place was more relaxed. We will go back again but we will ensure that it is during the off season since we prefer a more relaxed dining experience. The food was worth what we paid for it and our service that Stephen provided was very good. We had a table for four and got to meet our Nephews girlfriend so the comapany was great. We enjoyed the wine, they have two Paul Hobbs wines to choose from and we like both of them. All of us enjoyed the steaks and the baked potatoes were big. Naturally we ordered more than we should have but we enjoyed all of it."

"The quality of the food does not measure up to the prices."
Dined on 5/13/2014
"The food was excellent but the service was terrible. I think the price was not worth it and wil probably not be back. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
"My wife and I went here for our anniversary and it was very nice. We had to walk through the bar/lounge area, which was crowded and noisy, to get to the dining area. Once there, the ambience of the restaurant completely changed. The food was excellent, as written in Coastal Virginia Magazine. This was the only place in this area where you can get a whole fish served to you. The fish was very good, but I thought flounder was burnt on one side. It was completely black and hard and I should have turned it away but I didn't want to wait another 15-20 minutes to get another one."
Dined on 5/4/2014
"Every time we go to we are impressed again and again. This is arguably the best restaurant in the whole area. You can always count on the service being top notch, in fact it's the only restaurant we can count on the service being top-notch every time. Even though it is expensive by local standard it is well worth every penny. Stakes are tender juicy cooked to perfection, the sides are ample and tasty. It is definitely not a place for children, which I highly appreciate. Take your loved one and enjoy a very special evening."
Dined on 5/2/2014
"We were expecting a 5 Star experience, but what we received was a 2 Star experience. We are serious foodies, and it didn't measure up. We were seated in the main dining area even though outdoor and more private seating was available. When we asked, we were not offered another table. My wife's dish was sent back because it was inedible, and it took us 10 minutes to get our servers attention to inform him of the problem. As any good restaurant should do and to their credit, they did remove the item from the check. If you want to have a fine dining experience don't waste your time here. This place can only be described as ostentatious. They think very highly of themselves and let you know that. Their opinion of themselves is not warranted."
Dined on 5/1/2014
"Awesome as always! Service, food, ambiance, everything was perfect. We will be back."
Dined on 4/23/2014
"Wonderful dining experience for a romantic birthday dinner. Excellent service and an amazing meal! Started with oysters on the half shell, wedge salads, and the Filet Oscar style. Couldn't end the night without splitting a huge piece of cheesecake either. Delicious!"

"We went to Salacia for our anniversary dinner, and were very disappointed. Couldn't have a table by the window. Five minutes after we arrived one cleared. Waiting for one was not offered, and a request to move wasn't accommodated because "we’d gotten water”. The rest of the seating at Salacia is poor. Bring something to text with your dinner partner. We were closer to the people at the tables on either side than to each other. It provided conversation for three of us at one end of each our tables that could not hear our dinner companions. The crab cake appetizer was excellent. The remainder of the dinner was nothing remarkable. My steak was ok. My wife's salmon was overly salty. The dessert, was visually appealing, but of average taste."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"It was good food not great... Server was trying to add up the bill... Asked for coffee brought 2 pressed pots ... Close quarters on seating, jerk behind us ...."
Dined on 3/20/2014
"Salacia is above & beyond anything else at VA beach. The setting is beautiful & quiet w/ a dress code that prohibits the rowdy beach behavior. The food is delicious, w/ high quality steaks a standout, but equally good is a recent addition of a salt braked whole fish which was fresh, moist and quite luscious. The wine list is notable & waiters are helpful. This restaurant is a winner in all categories."
Dined on 3/20/2014
"The food and surroundings didn't disappoint us this time either. However, the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with the Saturday night full crowd. It took about ten minutes to get three glasses of water filled when we sat down because there were no full water pitchers. The rest of the meal it seemed like our waiter had more tables than he could handle, so service was somewhat spotty throughout our visit. Hope the service manpower shortfall will be corrected by our next visit."
Dined on 3/8/2014
"Although the food was excellent (especially the creamed spinach) and the service was very good, the prices were high and we wouldn't have gone if we didn't have a $50 gift certficate to reduce the sticker shock."
Dined on 3/8/2014
"This was our second time dining here, the first time we were seated outside in the quite and secluded cabana's this time we were seated on the interior. Our last trip was absolutely amazing from top to bottom, wine to dessert and the wait was worth it, 2 hrs without a reservation.This time we made a reservation and they were able to take us early. We had the entire place to our selves for 90% of the meal. The food was not quite up to the high bar that was set in the past and neither was the service. There was quite a bit of time between courses and the wait staff was no where to be found. Over all still a great experience and the manager was very helpful and one of the waiters seemed to be training and not quite up to par."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"Phenominal food and service. You pay the price for it though so top of the line is expected. Few wines by the glass, would have liked to see a greater selection for those not getting a bottle. But steak was delicious and like butter. Would definiately come back."
Dined on 2/19/2014
"Amazing steak and seafood, extensive wine list, impeccable service, private and romantic atmosphere inside and on beachfront terrace, and fun, vibrant hotel bar to enjoy the night after dinner. Amazing experience!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"I was lucky enough to get a table by a window and the view was jealously coveted by the other diners. I only wish a larger percentage of diners could enjoy the view but it is a narrow dining area. The food and service make me want to come back and try other menu items. Highly recommended!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"This was my first visit. I took my wife for Valentine's Day. Salacia was great. My wife loved it. It was perfect for special occasions."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Our Waiter Michael was first-rate, and the ambience was great. View of the breakers coming into the beach was mesmerizing."
Dined on 2/13/2014
"Wonderful place to go for a romantic atmosphere and the food was amazing. The portions were for the side dishes were more than expected. The amount would have fed three of us. We aren't wine drinkers, but for those who are this would be an excellent place to go. They had plenty of options. The staff was very friendly and met our expectations. We definitely recommend this place and will go again in the future."

"Everything is amazing from the food to the wait stuff to the presentation and plating. Made our mother's 65th birthday memorable. Best 4 diamond experience ever!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
"The atmosphere was quiet and romantic, just the ticket for our anniversary. We sat at a window table that offered a beautiful view of the ocean and boardwalk. My husband had the special, filet mignon with blue crab and hollandaise sauce served with asparagus. He said it was tender, juicy and full of flavor. In short, the best he'd ever had. I don't eat meat or dairy products and knew I might have to just have a salad. However, our waiter offered a few options that he believed the chef could prepare. I chose a Portobello mushroom stacked with grilled vegetables and topped with sliced pears. I'm still dreaming about it. Absolutely delicious! A wonderful dining experience in a beautiful restaurant with excellent service."
