The atmosphere was great. We were upstairs and found out it was Motown music night too. They were amazing. Tony Brothers is a great person and funny to sit and talk with. It was a great experience.

Great customer service, staff was excellent. The owner came over spoke with us and everyone else dining. Nice classy atmosphere and the live band was excellent.

Wonderful experience for a supper club, the music and food were top notch, as well as our waitress Destiny (?) She was extremely attentive and assisted with making our experience pleasurable. My practice manager has been sharing our experience with every patient and colleague she comes in contact with. We hope to make this our quarterly business venue. Thank you once again for excellent service.

Excellent place. Food was amazing and the ambiance was everything! Highly recommend

The food was absolutely delicious. We wished it had been a little dimmer as it was a little too bright inside in our opinion but other than that the whole experience was amazing! The service and food was perfect.

We were celebrating our 29th anniversary. Food was just ok tonight, had better from there. Ended up boxing my food up. Drinks were good

Excellent Cocktails, Grilled Ceasar Salad very tasty, Rockfish Special fresh and all sides were delicious. Wonderful restaurant for that special occasion and celebration.

First time in and it was amazing! Great food, wine and music. Will definitely be back for a jazz night.

Wonderful place! Good food! Definitely coming back again!

The food and service at the restaurant was spectacular..I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. We plan to return in the future for the special events .

Norfolk native Mr. Tony Brothers (who happened to be there last night!) his family and his team have a fantastic little hideout in downtown Norfolk. Phenomenal food (the scallops, the St. Louis ribs and the chocolate bourbon bread pudding deserve the chef’s kiss), very cool atmosphere (the place is a former nightclub turned swank restaurant) and reasonably priced for a nice date night out. Will absolutely be back and can’t wait to spread the word!

The restaurant was wonderful! The owner came to check on us twice, the service was amazing and the food was unbelievably delicious! I will definitely be coming back!

Great Atmosphere

Anniversary

This was my first time there. And wanted to go somewhere nice for my Anniversary. We, my husband and I enjoyed it. Love the band that was upstairs playing. Overall wonderful experience.

I have no complaints. The food was amazing. I had The fried scallops with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheeses and my date had the lamb chop with mashed potatoes and both dishes were awesome. We tried something different and ordered the sweet potato cheesecake. TRY IT! 5 stars all the way around.

I absolutely loved the ambiance! The food and drinks were amazing. The waitress was so sweet but wasn't as attentive due to waiting on multiple tables, but her personality made up for it. I will definitely recommend and will return in the near future!

Awesome restaurant as Eveything my wife and I ordered we gave it 10 out of 10. Great food, great waiters and awesome restaurant. We will definitely be back!

First time going there and I loved it. I will definitely will be going again soon.

Everything was great but we had asked to be seated upstairs in our reservation but were informed when we got there that a party had booked it. I wish we knew that before we got there.

expected the food to be flavorful, not the case, the establishment is beautiful I only wish the food matched the atmosphere.

Husband took me out for bday and it did not disappoint! From the hostess at the door to up those steep stairs to our seat; excellent!

Motown Tuesdays!!!! Great Band!!! Great Food!!

Over priced lamb chops that were fatty and small mac n cheese.

Excellent service

Our server was PHENOMENAL!! Knowledgeable of the menu, able to offer suggestions and accommodate some specific needs for our party. We had reservations and definitely felt rushed out the door. We were being encouraged to leave yet had no check. The kitchen was running a little behind to the point appetizer’s came out after our entrees for some of the party even though we all ordered together. The food quality was above and beyond along with our server doing her best for our party of 6.

A small eatery in Norfolk. As a food blogger I took time to type what reservation was for (anniversary) and seating wishes. When we arrived non of this was acknowledged. No happy anniversary and proceeded to sit us where I asked not to until I spoke up. The food was decent and tasty. I would say it wasn't marinated type food but it was moderately seasoned. This was my first time and I'm thinking there was a required attire nonetheless the greeters had on non matching wrinkled polo golf shirts, slouchy and too long pants, and super dirty string up sneakers. The ambience was nice with soft jazz music playing (it was a Friday so not live). I was more dressed for the occasion than the male greeters. The bar tender had a t-shirt on. Then no where did they have posted a 18% required gratuity no matter the parry size. If I'm going to give $25 tip for only 2 items ordered then I should have received top notch service which I didn't. First the doors were locked for restaurant entry *fire hazzard, had to wait awhile before our order was taken in a non business setting *only 4 other tables occupied, had to wait on refills, and had to ask a few times for napkins and was brought out bathroom paper towels. So again to require an attire and specific gratuity, I would expect staff and establishment to deliver an especially when it's not busy. Is it worth going back again??? Not for me...I heard great things but tonight it wasn't so great. It has potential but everyone seems like they gotten relaxed and need to do what they did when the business opened, hopefully. I'll be posting my experience on my food blog IG page : ThePinkDolphinBloggerVA

It was fantastic. I will return.

This was our first visit. We will return. Very nice atmosphere, the food was great. The music was a really nice touch. Overall, Classy.

I had a amazing time there. It was my first time and the ambiance was really nice. I would highly recommend this establishment!

Great experience

The look of the restaurant was deceiving based upon the website. The food was delicious and I enjoyed the live music. The waiter was not as attentive as I would have liked. I needed a to-go box for my leftovers but there weren’t any available. Several small circular containers were brought to the table that were able to fit the side dishes but not the meat. I asked for aluminum foil to wrap my chicken in but was told there was a shortage of foil. Per the waiter, the kitchen requested my plate back so they could cut up the meat in order to fit it in the containers! I have never heard of such!

I enjoyed the food and the entertainment. Sometimes the music was too loud. The temperature was really cold especially when the air conditioning came on. It blows right over your head. Also I suggest that the name "Brothers " should be on the wall behind the sofa which makes for good photo pictures.

Excellent food and extraordinary service. I highly recommend going to Brother's for dinner!

The Calamari is very good.
The Salmon was delicate.
I wish the fried shrimp was an entree not only an appetizer.

As soon as you walk in you smell the smoke from the kitchen area. We asked that the door be cracked open and they did so. When asked why it was so smokey we were told, "It costs money to fix." and also "We just rent the building." There was a jazz show upstairs. We placed our order and 45 minutes later, still no food. When we inquired, the waiter said that they were backed up upstairs. The manager said differently but asked if we had anything cooked well done as if that was the reason for the delay. Then it was explained that there were only 3 cooks. But people who came in after us received their food before us supposedly because they ordered "simpler items". Finally the food came, an hour later, but at least it was delicious. The manager did offer compensation.
