   Our dinners were beautifully presented and had great complex flavors. We really enjoyed the food. We had a small glitch with service, which they rectified. Overall, this was a great meal and we will definitely return!

   On of the finest bistro in the 757 area. I Recommend this to anyone that is in the area. I hands down respect the owner and workers. Love going there.

   Open table reservation worked great! Good drinks(wish happy hour included more mixed drink options). We got the salmon, vege burger, crab stack, she crab soup(outstanding), filet and scallops. All dishes were very good. It took a little while to get the food but it did happen to be on the night of the grand illumination. Our waitress was very good.

   This was our second time here. 1st time was a date night with hubs. Great service, wonderful food (nice plate presentation also) and wine. The second trip was a family night with our young adult daughter. Once again did not disappoint! Easy to park near by.

    We went here for an early birthday dinner and the Santa Fe Chicken Penne did NOT disappoint! It was spicy and delicious, and the happy hour drink selection was really good too.

    This was our first trip to 219 Bistro and we were very impressed with the options (especially the specials), the service, and the overall experience. We arrived during Happy Hour - even on a Saturday! - and took advantage with our drink orders. We also ordered a couple of items to share so that we were not overfull when attending our event that evening, but I am very excited to try some other options and dessert next time. The only drawback we found is that the music was a little loud and that combined with the acoustics in the building made us - and those around us - speak more loudly to be heard by those at our tables. But overall, this was a great experience.

    I used to love 219, but they have revised their menu and it is not for the better. The fried green tomatoes and the zucchini small plates were both not good at all.

    Overall- it was great. I’d go back. Pros: attentive servers, food came out quickly, most of it tasted delicious, especially the bacon wrapped goat cheese figs. Omg yum! Cons: I love me a strong drink but these were STRONG. The espresso martini wasn’t made with actual espresso but an espresso flavored liquor. Also they ran out of rum the day before and hadn’t restocked. Seemed odd, and the drinks took a long time to be delivered. Other than that, we were all happy with our experience and would recommend.

    219 is a great place to take friends — especially friends not from the area! We had such a blast and our server was fantastic. One of the managers came out and greeted our table as well. Overall, we all loved our food, the atmosphere, and the service!! (Fantastic cocktails too!!!) Thanks 219! ❤️

    Not sure if the review I started yesterday sent or not. This was one of the top 5 dining experiences we have enjoyed! This puts you in the company with El Farrallon in Cabo San Lucas. Everything about it was just right. Our server Nicolle was the right amount of attentive and enthusiastic about the evening in general. Again, well done. Everyone who spends an evening with you will be handsomely rewarded.

    Always great service when we go as a group to 219! Wonderful Happy Hour---I just wish it was until 7, as described on Google, instead of ending at 6 (which is a bit early for people who work more traditional schedules during the week).

    Very nice crisp and sharp venue. Great staff—very welcoming and attentive. A very good selection of wine, local craft beers and special cocktails. A nice selection of menu items and sides—portions are generous and very tasty. A good value—highly recommend.

    Both the service and food was bad. The server walked away very quickly every time she came to check on us even turning away as we were still talking to her. The tuna burger tasted like warmed up canned tuna. It was not good. The duck ragu was ice cold. It took an additional 15 minutes for them to warm it back up. Would not go back.

    The rice needed salt, like it was non existent but outside of that everything else was on point and delicious. Prices weren’t too bad, but what really made it was our server Brianna. She provided an upscale service with a touch of hometown neighborly feel, very relaxed and like we were long time friends. I recommend you ask for her when you visit.

    Vegan food at non-vegan restaurants is usually laced with disappointment. The zucchini curry was excellent. My husband's duck burger was great as well. According to him, best burger he's had in a long time. It was our first time there and we will be back for sure.

    Chef Felix’ creativity is truly superb …. On par with Patrick O’Connell at The Little Inn at Washington, Jose Andres, or Cindy Wolf of Charleston’s innBaltimore … Highly recommend the Chef’s Specials which change frequently. We had the Cheese, Jam, and Charcuterie Board which showcased Chef Felix’s talent right upfront. Bri, our server, did a wonderful job guiding us through the menu which possessed way more options than we had room for in our stomachs. Overall, truly a gem in the Wsterside area of Norfolk.
