    Food was subpar and overpriced. 4 different appetizers and 6 different entrees were ordered and all were barely edible. Unacceptible and wouldn't recommend.

    Enjoyed Thanksgiving meal with family of 6. Seated promptly. Server was nice and efficient. Turkey meal was tasty. Obnoxious part was the bill. Much to my surprise, we were charged 3.5% for using a credit card for payment. Didn’t read about this anywhere. Only saw it after they charged my card and I received final bill. Can’t say I’ve ever been charged separately for such a fee in decades of dining in NYC and everywhere! Build it into your pricing. Outrageous to end a $500+ meal with such a fee! Truest form of nickel and diming your customers. Guess if not enough ppl complain, you will keep up this poor practice?!

    Thanksgiving Dinner. Waiter could not open corked wine. Water glasses not refilled unless you ask. Main turkey dinner served warm at best and some portions cool. Nothing hot. Shortage of gravy on the food. When check came 20% auto gratuity labeled large group (3) people. Then 3.5 % credit card process fee. And dinner base charge was $65.00 per plate. She crab soup was good. Normally week day lunches food great today not so much.

    We had a great dinner sitting in the lounge to celebrate a birthday. We split some raw oysters to start along with broiled oysters topped with jalapeños, sausage and pimento cheese. Delicious! My husband had the steak frittes which was cooked to perfection with a peppercorn sauce. I had shrimp and scallop risotto. The scallops were pristine and the risotto was creamy. Our waitress was wonderful and even treated us to a champagne toast to celebrate the birthday.

    Food was absolutely delicious. My personal problem was the credit card fee charged on our bill. As a local business owner that sells several thousand dollar items accepting credit cards is part of the cost of doing business. The fee seemed incredibly petty and truly turned me off. If you need the 3.5% that badly, build it into your menu prices. In addition the fee was added in before the establishment knew how we planned on paying our tab. I have yet to dine at a Virginia Beach restaurant that has adopted this policy even if when questioned, our server said it was normal business practice at Hilltop restaurants.

    The Host (I did not get his name) was wonderful in quickly pivoting and re-setting the menus to special "birthday menus" when we arrived for my mother's birthday dinner. Fabulous touch. Kendall, our server, was amazing from beginning to end. The food was divine and the ambiance was intimate and cozy. Couldn't recommend coming here enough!

    My daughter and I have been dining at Cobalt for a decade. The service is always excellent. Arden and Wendy are friendly and delightful !! We look forward to every visit. I would highly recommend the Portobello Fries for a starter. As for dinner, my favorite is the Risotto or Fish and Chips but everything else is equally delicious!!

    My wife and I met another couple for dinner. Two of us got specials, which were outstanding and two had regular entrées which were very good. The service was very good, but they were busy so not excellent as it took a little longer for everything. Drinks were very good as was dessert. I expected to pay more so the check wasn't bad. If you like casual dining with good food and service you will enjoy.

    Menu items are overpriced. Restaurant was not busy but drinks sat empty. Some of us had burgers and to be truthful, you can get an equal or better burger at Red Robin for similar or lower prices. The calamari appetizer was just ok and the portion was very small for $14.

    The food was just not good. I wanted to like it!! It was a pricey meal for poor food. However, the atmosphere is so cozy. It feels like you are somewhere different than Va Beach and not at all what I expected from its location/outward appearance. That part was a pleasant surprise.
