    I’ve been going here almost monthly for years and am never disappointed. It’s a beautiful space, their live music is phenomenal, they have arguably the best cocktail selection and bartenders in Norfolk, the service is always wonderful and they remember you by name, and the food is exceptional. Without question my favorite place in the area.

    I’ve been told Gershwin’s has the best cocktails in town, they were the best cocktails I’ve ever had, hands down. The blood orange margarita was unbelievable! Reviewing the menu, I noticed a the “Beyond Meat” chopped steak, and I’ve really wanted to try the alternative meat, so I actually had a vegan meal, if they hadn’t made clear it wasn’t real meat I would not have known, it was amazing, beefy, excellent gravy with mushrooms on a bed of grilled mixed vegetables. Did I mention the cocktails ? They offered a great selection of deserts, I decided I’d have more cocktails for desert, I cannot wait to go back and bring my friends to try !

    Our evening was wonderful. The service was outstanding and the food was truly wonderful. Everything from the drinks to appetizers, dinner and dessert was remarkable. The sauce on the chicken and mushroom ravioli was to die for. My scallop appetizer was cooked perfectly and also had a wonderful sauce. Would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff and service was top notch.

    Had a great experience at Gershwin's on Friday night but was surprised and disappointed to have our waitress warn us that our table, which we had booked at 5:00 p.m. was going to have to be turned over to someone else at 7:30. We had planned to spend the evening together and found it truncated to our dismay.

    We always enjoy Gershwin's. Lively atmosphere. Very interesting drink choices. I'm not into sweet drinks, but the Flower Power is delicious. Great things coming from the kitchen, especially like the scallop apps & seafood risotto. Hamburger at the next table looked fantastic too. Staff are warm and welcoming. The music entertainers in the front of the restaurant are very talented. The music is not overwhelmingly loud, you can still converse with your table guests (discretely, there may be others enjoying the music)
