Restaurants near Norfolk State University

Excellent from start to finish. Our server, Frank, was gracious and friendly the entire night. We never felt rushed. While we were disappointed that they were out of bone marrow, the foie gras with blueberry chutney was a stand out appetizer, it melted in your mouth, seared perfectly. The beef tartare was slightly boring, more like ground meat instead of being cut into small chunks which gave it an off putting mushy texture, it also lacked seasoning. The soup of the day was fresh, bright tomato bisque with crab meat on top that was amazing. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her pork chop, which was cooked to a perfectly juicy medium and very flavorful. The soft shell crab special was tasty. It was our second visit and we will definitely return when business brings us back to Norfolk.

We ate at the Chef's table and Chef Jeffrey was wonderful!

Excellent ambience and the customer service was outstanding will definitely visit again.

Very nice evening. Reece was our server and was outstanding.

Beautiful retaurant ambiance. We had a reservation but showed up 20 minutes early and the hostess was able to seat us early which I appreciated. However we were seated at the most awkward table in the back dining room near the corner next to the kitchen entrance. There were so many tables open for a party of three and were sat at a table for six. The server came to greet us right away and gave us ample time to get situated. She was friendly when explaining to us that the happy hour special was only for the bar but she would allow us to take advantage of the deal for the one order. I would suggest that the host should not give us the ipad menu with the happy hour specials if we weren't allowed to partake in the dining area. I appreciated the kids menu option for my daughter to it was a devent portion. We ordered two sides and one didn't show up and we had pretty much almost finished our entree and other side. I asked about it and the server went to check and said it wasn't in the system but would resend it. I was a little annoyed but appreciate the urgency of it. I would have hoped she would've taken it off the bill but didn't . However I still felt the overall experience is worth returning to. Would like the server to be more friendly but for the most part did what was expected. The hostess was very charming.
