Where to Eat and Drink in Virginia Beach | Eater DC

"Virginia Beach’s Key West-loving dive, billed as “7 bars, 1 location,” just turned 25 this summer. Weekly specials include taco and tequila deals on Thursdays, fajita Fridays, Western Wednesdays with a $15 steak special, and a pup-friendly Sunday brunch. The indoor-outdoor island getaway packs in various vibes, with a huge central sand pit for corn hole." - Adele Chapin

What a cool bar around the corner. The food was amazing as well as the beers and shots! The bartender there went absolutely above and beyond! Had a great time and would highly recommend to anybody on the strip!

First off, my wife and I got there about 30 minutes before they opened. Joe greeted us, told us a bit about himself, talked to us about the menu and food. Once we were seated - outside because we brought our miniature goldendoodle, Nolan - Joe brought our dog a bowl of ice water and gave him lots of pets! Second, our server, Brittany, was the best server we’ve ever had, and that is saying a lot. She was so personable, sweet, kind, very attentive, and loved our dog. After I mentioned it was ourwedding anniversary weekend celebration, we promptly received a lemon drop shot and after dinner a key lime cheesecake slice - on the house! Third, the food was amazing and the drinks weren’t bad either. Don’t pass this place up if you’re in Virginia Beach. You won’t be disappointed! Talk to Joe and ask for Brittany as your server.

Great place for dinner and the night life at the beach. I had been here to the club a few times and never realized they had such a great restaurant as well. The steak and shrimp were phenomenal. Christine our server was so friendly and accommodating. She made sure our experience was awesome. Love IT

On the last night of our vacation in Virginia Beach, we were looking for a unique place to have dinner and boy did we find it. The Luna Sea is an amazing restaurant.. Food was absolutely perfect and the waitress… Oh my God… She was just the best.. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend our last night in Virginia Beach.

We came here for Easter brunch and were blown away. The food was incredible and the egg hunt was amazing, and such a cute space. Thank you!

To the owner's! As per response, I edited my response and reviews I have over 750,000 views of my postings and reviews. I do this on a regular basis, in all my travels. It's unfortunate, that on that particular evening, your staff, did not live up to your restaurant policy standards. The restaurant was not busy at all and appeared only one or two booths in bar area occupied. One of party, did walk back and stated, plenty of seating available? I'll give you the benefit of your response, however, the evening we were there, we were not permitted to eat anyplace inside or especially in the rear area, which we were told, by others, was where we should ask to be seated. I assumed it was because we were a family, with children. At one point, we thought we were being taken to the rear area, but apparently a discussion ensued amougst, your staff, refusing us to transverse any further into the restaurant. Redirecting back out front. They attempted to seat our party, at that large open pit, whatever table with young kids. If, you have a kids menu, we were not given excess to one! We went across the street and welcomed with arms.

Came in for dinner around 8pm on a Saturday night and even though the place had a massive amount of empty tables, no line, and about 20 customers, we were told there would be a 20-30 min wait to place a food order. No biggie since we were there to hang out & have drinks too. Hanna, the downstairs bartender, was really sweet and the drinks she made were good. Unfortunately by the time we were allowed to place our food order we were told they didn’t have the items we wanted from the menu? 40 minutes of our time wasted!! The ambiance was nice though and we thought that there would have been a bigger night life crowd (part of the reason we came for some fun) but they said that that scene really didn’t start until 11pm. Oh well! Had high hopes for this place, but was seriously let down.

Went here Saturday night around 10 pm. We made it just in time because the kitchen was closing soon for food orders so we were able to put our order in once we sat down. I actually loved how the place had two sections (the outdoor "party" vibe area with music and the inside restaurant area). We sat inside since it was our first time here and we were told that in order to get food you had to be inside. The food came out at a decent wait time but we did wait a little min for our drinks. We ordered the crab dip (10/10) and the Nachos (8/10). I felt like the nachos needed a little extra seasoning and maybe even some spice. Our food did get cold fairly quickly bc we were sitting right under the a/c but I still enjoyed them both. For drinks, we got the Caribbean lush (10/10) and the Orange creamsicle (9/10). I also ordered a Lava flow frozen drink (10/10). The drinks were very good. I've definitely marked this place down as a go to spot for drinks and good music/vibes. I'm for sure returning soon, so I can experience the our door area next time. My overall rate of experience : 9.5/10

I usually have fun here but the bartenders can be rude. I've been here a few times and one time, I tried to order a Hurricane and the bartender went on a minute long spiel about how he can't just make drinks that other bars have and that you can't just ask a bartender for some obscure drink just because local bars serve those. I've been a bartender, I've been to mixology school and a hurricane is a classic cocktail, like dude what? It's cool if you don't know how to make certain drinks, but to lecture me for an odd amount of time and treat me like I'm an idiot just made the rest of the night weird and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Another time, I attended and a member of my group was ordering and covering all of my drinks. I was feeling woozy, and went up to the bar a few times for some water. The bartender didn't seem to like that and said to me when I asked, "yeah well I'm at work, so you'll have to wait since you only want some water". Which, honestly, I can get on some level. I know you don't make any money off that, but frankly I had several drinks and I know for a fact the dude I was with was a decent tipper so it's not like I was some random cheapo not consuming anything from the establishment. He still gave me water and didn't take long, I'm not gonna lie but I just really disliked feeling like such a weirdo. It honestly wouldn't have bothered me if I didn't watch the bartender be so sweet and smiley and engaging to EVERYONE else who was trying to order. I don't know, maybe im just sensitive, I just wanted to give my honest take. Honestly, I have a great time when I go here for the most part, but it matters more the people you attend with and the DJ. The security is always kind, and most staff, but you can tell they hire random dudes as bartenders and if you're not a hot skinny young thing, or a drunk dude with your black card out, don't expect much from the bartenders.

Took a party of 18 today for brunch. WOW! If you are looking for an amazingly beautiful restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food with large portions and delectable drinks....go to Luna Sea. From the curb it may not seem like much but prepare to be wowed!! Mimosas were perfect, the service was absolutely top notch, the food....I literally wiped my plate clean. I can't wait to go back again soon!

My favorite place in VA Beach for night life. It's beautiful inside at night with the lights. Plenty of bars so you're not stuck waiting for drinks for too long. Great DJs. There was a QR code where you could request songs and tip the DJ. My group had a blast.

All I can say is if you are thinking about going to Lunasea, go somewhere else. My husband and I had a very unpleasant dinner and drinks. Our service was good and our waitress apologized for the long wait, the cold food, the flies in the dish, the weak drink with melted ice but the manager simply shrugged and said "It's a busy night." Enough said.

The specials tonight including the blacken scallops were delicious. Steamboil was a hit and steak onion and cheese sandwich were hits with the kids! Abby the waitress and Joe the host were impeccable! Ambiance was tranquil for a busy Saturday night. Really enjoyed this evening and looking forward to another visit!

I'm unsure why this place has just ok reviews . Visited Thursday for my birthday and it was fantastic ! For starters the host kat was very friendly very welcoming and all about making sure we were comfortable and Steven our server was amazing as well ! Drinks were good food was nothing short of delicious ! Do yourself a favor , ignore the just ok reviews and check them out !

Overall, it was a good experience, but the food was just ordinary with nothing special. The ambiance and service were nice. We arrived very late and hungry, and since they were open and not busy, we decided to give it a try.

We had a great time at Lunasea. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. I was super impressed with the crab legs! Cooked perfectly and plenty of butter and old bay.

I always try to give a honest overall review of all the factors in place. 1.) The overall service was GREAT 2.) Cost for food GOOD 3.) Food & quality leaves a lot to be desired ! ! ! My buddy and I stopped in Sat 3/8/2025 at 11:30 am for breakfast. We were the only 2 there. I ordered 2 eggs sunny side up with sausage, hashbrowns and white toast. When my order arrived the eggs were over not sunny side up. After a short discussion they corrected the egg problem. I asked for jelly or jam for the toast. I was told they no longer offer either. Then asked for butter. First whoever heard of having toast and jelly or jam wasn't available. The butter was so dam hard you couldn't spread it on the toast without destroying the bread to pieces. The sauage was partly raw in the middle and the potatoes were hard and salty. I ate the 2 eggs and half of 1 sauage and left the rest as to me it really wasn't worth eating and was awful. When the barmaid came by and asked how was everything, I told her it was one of the worst breakfasts I ever had and she said she was sorry to hear that and took my plate with 3/4 of it still on it away. When I got my check she was happy to inform me that they had taken 3 dollars off the bill. Big deal ! If this is all you do for creding a meall that sucked then this is not a place I nor my family will come to again. To bad they did such a nice job on the renovation to serve poor food. Just my opinion ! ! !

We are having a girl's trip to VA Beach and stumbled upon this place after a round of mini golf. The place had a funky welcoming vibe. Our waitress Hannah was friendly and put up with our rowdy group. We had some appetizers of crab dip, tableside guacamole and the best conch fritters I have ever had.You could taste the conch. Our party really enjoyed the crab dip which had real crab and was cheesy goodness. Our entire party really enjoyed our food. We would go back again .

Went on a Sunday for a beach walk with my dog and randomly found the restaurant. Very welcoming and kind woman up front. She took care of my dog by bringing her a bowl of water and a bandana. Outside seating gave me a chance to dine with my dog. I ordered a crab dip which was pretty good. The crab dip was topped with cheddar cheese, didn't really like that but was still decent. The chips were very crunchy and light. Fish tacos were great with all the other toppings on the side. Not sure if pinto beans were an option since I'm not a fan of black beans, it was good nonetheless. Topped it off with a Bloody Mary. Decent size bacon with three olives and celery. Overall nice lunch. The only con the really bugs me is that they already include 18% tip automatically. I believe that's my discretion/choice to tip according to my appreciation of service, you just don't demand tip like that. And I was by myself.

Great vibe , absolutely beautiful . The drinks were a bit over priced compared to other bars. They had two DJs on a Saturday night but not a lot of people dancing ,this was sept so maybe just not in season. It was a beautiful place to relax with a group of friends.

My mother and I were wondering around VA Beach and found this little slice of paradise. The service was fantastic. The restaurant itself is way bigger on the inside than perceived from the street. The food was fantastic. I will definitely be returning.

Never experienced servers that disrespectful and entitled my entire life managers where no help or insightful enough to have understanding poor treatment towards customers who have previously spent 100s of dollars at this establishment before, the short old blonde hair manager is the worse I ever seen, and the skinny young girl with glasses in particular

Lunasea was fantastic! The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, it's super hard to find that kind of service these days. The owner stopped to chat before we left and explained the restaurant's history (we said we had been there about 15 yrs ago). It was such a great experience! So glad they've stayed in business ..We'll be down to check out the back patio in the future!

stoped in to talk to the event coordinator about an upcoming event that I have to host for and there was a private party going on but I was told to come today and when I tried to talk to her she was extremely rude and sarcastic tone ( are you trying to talk business to me ) and then walked past me saying ( come with me) waved her hand towards the door and said ( you can come back tomorrow) even thow a staff member told me to come in and talk to her today. On top of that the look the staff giving us was just rude.... So I do not suggest to anyone to go to this venue...

We came here for a good time. We purchased 1 drink per person. After about 45 minutes later, we were asked to leave or purchase another drink. We were planning on purchasing another drink but took our time. Please note that we were still finishing our food. This place is very rude. They will ask you to leave if you don't buy a drink every 20 mins.

Great food. Bartend was super nice and he gave us a lot of good oceanfront recommendations because we're new to the area.

My family and I tried Lunasea this week for their Wednesday night Steak special. We were so impressed with the place, the food and the service. Wow! This turned out to be perhaps the best steak deal I've seen in years. The steak itself was a 10+ oz. ribeye, thick and juicy, perfectly cooked with deep fried onion ribbons on top, plus a generous portion of crispy fries and a very nice garden salad, all for $15! I ordered a bottle of red zin (half price on Wednesdays too) to share with the family. Then for dessert, they had a great selection of homemade offerings that were awesome too. Service was outstanding, and the staff was all very friendly. Our server, Christian, who was the nicest guy, actually took us on a tour of Lunasea after dinner, showing us the massive outdoor space that included 7 separate bars and a sandy courtyard to play cornhole. This was offseason, but this place clearly is hopping in the summer because it is just a block off the beach in downtown Virginia Beach. So, if you're a local, they have specials most nights and offer great food at affordable prices, so my recommendation is to give them a try - you won't regret it!

I love this place! Too bad our last visit was so terrible. I previously reviewed and what a night/day difference. Before going I checked their website for any info on restrictions, etc. and it's the same as it has been for years. Wife and I went for brunch on Sunday, at noon. I love breakfast, she prefers lunch so we went later and sat at the bar. One other person and the bar tender. We ordered drinks, I got the carafe and bottle of champagne for mimosas, wife wanted the bloody mary bar but of course covid has removed that (website update required), but got the bartender special. First issue, the BM was rimmed with salt not the old Bay as described on the menu, lemon ring and 2 olives. Strike #1. The menu was shorter than usual [expected] but there were absolutely no lunch items! We asked if there was a regular menu and were told not yet (dinner?), so Strike #2. More on my thoughts later. So the wife decided not to eat, and ordered a second BM with Old Bay this time. bartender said they didn't have Old Bay but had a sweet chili powder that she could use, so she opted for that. *look at the drink menu and note all the references to Old Bay. If you're out, swing by Wal-Mart and grab a few cans so you can make the drinks as described. I ordered the crab con queso benedict and it seemed most appealing to me. Arrived after a longer time than expected since the place wasn't jamming and how long does it take to toast a muffin and cook over easy eggs? When it arrived there was a small pile of potatoes and a massive amount of queso [yum] covering the ham (no pic, sorry). I wanted to check for the egg cook and lifted the ham to find an untoasted english muffin. Not a lightly toasted muffin, but untoasted. The manager must have seen me inspecting so he asked if everything was alright. I showed him the muffin and he seemed perturbed and agreed that it wasn't the quality he expected. Took it away and offered me something else, so I opted for the breakfast fajitas. Strike #3. The fajitas arrived, bigger pile of potatoes that were warm and tasty. The tortillas were warm as were the eggs. The onions and peppers were't cooked enough, barely/aldente [everyone has different preferences on veggie cook- I like them soft and caramelized) and the sausage was flavorful. There was a cold plate of sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce(?) and salsa. Of note, the salsa was frozen, not cold but literally icey. Strike #4. We got a checkin from the manager again and when he asked how it was I asked if he wanted some truth/feedback, and he said yes. So I pointed out the cook on the veggies and the frozen salsa. The salsa was a problem it appeared. We finished eating and drinking and got the tab. 4% was automatically added to the tab. We said we would pay in cash so the bartender adjusted the bill. Be careful and check or bring cash so you don't support their choice of credit card providers. So, given the menu listed, how hard would it have been to have a few non-breakfast items available. a cheese burger should be a staple for any restaurant; there were fajitas, why not grill some chicken and swap out the eggs/sausage (fish tacos were on the dinner special sign - maybe some fish tacos too), the breakfast burrito and BLT could of had variations for lunch options and even a limited kitchen should be able to pull that off. I mean it is advertised as brunch not breakfast. I get all the challenges of staffing now, it is everywhere, but this just seemed like a lack of motivation/caring/creativity. Lunasea was a pretty solid place that we frequented, sadly the sun has set for us on their particular harbor.

Absolutely amazing! Josh and Ashton made my friend and I feel extremely comfortable and safe coming out! I've been to almost every bar on the oceanfront and LunaSea is by Far THE BEST !!! 100/10 RECOMMEND

Overall a good hang out spot to dance and chill with friends at night... Corn hole bags do leave your hands smelling like a jockstrap that hasn't been washed in a year, or your dads Sunday lawn work new balances Either way just another VB outdoor bar :)

The online menu did not match the menu in the restaurant. We were told the seafood was fresh... however there were grouper "fingers" available but not a grouper sandwich as advertised on the website. We decided to leave and go somewhere else and we're charged $8.00 and change for 2 soft drinks, plus a 20% charge for gratuity... Sheesh... most respectable establishments would not have charged someone for the soft drinks and encouraged us to come back and try a lunch menu or brunch or something like that... instead this place just ensured that we will not recommend or come back.... Very disappointing to say the least.

LunaSea hosted a 80+ person event for us this weekend on their back deck and it was a huge success! Everyone in attendance was really stoked with the beautiful two level layout which could have easily handled 2X the number of people. Colleen, the owner, catered the food, and we had a private bar service. Both the food and the service were excellent and certainly made it a very special event! There's also room for a band or DJ and a dance floor. They had 4-5 cornhole sets out for us and everyone had a blast. A great afternoon!

My boyfriend and I have been eyeing this place for the past year. We live in Hampton so a trip to VA beach is a hike for us. We finally made it out there! The feel is nice I love the decor . You can tell they're used to regular and not necessarily 1st timers. The food was ok. Proportions were small . The calamari was laughable. The oyster Rockefeller had a really mushy texture that I was not used to. Maybe too much spinach? It tasted good but the texture left me not wanting to finish the dish. The pork tacos were good though the black beans were too soupy in my opinion. seems like it came out of a can. My boyfriend had the steak and shrimp fajitas. It looked good but again the proportions were much too small. Our first set of drinks tasted like straight juice. The second we're very strong but all were tasty. The best part (the reason we came) was for the awesome outdoor area. We thought we'd be able to eat out there but apparently it's a club . We sat out there and had a couple drinks but the music wasn't really our style . The DJ mixed the music too much with techno. All and all it's a beautiful place but clearly more or a locals/college kid place

Never went here for the good, so I decided to try it out. Boyy was it good. The drinks were delicious, and the tapas dishes tasted good. The mac and cheese, even though it was a side, is something I would of ordered all the time. The server was super nice and very attentive, excellent customer service. I decided to eat on the outside which gave a very nice relaxing vibe. The only downside was a auto 20% gratuity. But if every server provided the level of service as ours did, then i guess it fits well.

Good food & flavorful drinks! Our waiter dude was super helpful and friendly. You also have an option to continue at their club in the back which I thought was pretty convenient if you wanted to eat good food and drink but also chill and go dancing.

So, I attended their tequila tasting festival and I was pleasently surprised because the place is way bigger than expected. I did not get a chance to taste the food but the tequila tasting, entertainment and music was great.The back of the restaurant has a sand pit, mechanical bull and the even had fire artists. I definately plan to return to sample the food!

Doesn't look very big from the outside, but apparently there are multiple bars and a sandpit inside. Sitting on the patio facing 22nd st was nice. The menu is a bit mixed in terms of cuisine. Lettuce wraps with shrimp was good. Lettuce is the wrap replacing the flour tortilla, very low carb I guess. You also get black beans, tomato/onion mix, rice, sour cream, all served in separate little containers. They are quite good with presentation here. Shrimp Po Boy had a very large type of shrimp, fresh batter, served on a brioche bread. You get 5 or of these big style shrimps. Comes with fries. Also had the coconut shrimp, which have a really good coconut coating, with the flakes properly mixed in, not just sprinkled on top, served with a sweet chili (lime?) sauce. For dessert Key Lime Cheesecake, which was a bit too dense, could have been more airy, otherwise fine. Service was attentive, smiling and friendly, never had to sit and wonder where is she?!? The prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality.

Owner is very rude and made us buy drink in order to stay at her establishment. They also add up to 25% gratuity without any signs or staff acknowledging us

Though I've been here once before years ago (and they had some pretty good fries), I actually came this time around for the tequila fest they were hosting. Man was I surprised! I've been to the restaurant part but never knew there was an entire club, too?? We got there around 8-9pm and there was a line but it was moving pretty fast. The door man checked our ID only and the money handler was very unenthusiastic. almost a mood ruiner. Once we got in, it was packed! There was a sandpit with a stage and bull to include multiple bars and a balcony-like viewing areas. There is also an inside bar, which is where all the tequila tasting was going on. Loved the setup of it all, especially with how nice the weather was feeling. Great location at oceanfront & I enjoyed my time there. Would love to see how it is on a regular night.

Great brunch food and great prices for brunch drinks! We were seated immediately on Sunday afternoon! Service was quick and everyone was very kind. More than one person came to our table to check in so that made us feel pretty special! I can't wait to come back and try their lunch/dinner!

Hello, I have been avid costumer at this restaurant and I typically do not ever speak up online. What I witnessed tonight was disgusting. After having a wonderful time enjoying the live music that brought me to the establishment I noticed they started packing their things early. I asked the lead performer why they had ended they set early and was shocked at the response that I had heard. The management at this establishment told her she was not "to standards" after she had sang beautifully for hours at this point. To see a woman, on this weekend of all weekends when womens rights have been stripped from them, broken the way she was because of the management and bartenders on staff is repulsive. As an active member of the Virginia Beach community I can assure you I will be sharing my experience for years to come. Shame on you, and shame on the way you treat the artists who dedicate their time to entertain your patrons.

Saturday | 255pm Skinny Margarita | 6 raw oysters | fish tacos All front seating available at this time. Sandpit in the back opens up at 600pm. The Skinny tasted no alch, but I bet this is going to creep like it did 5 years ago? However, if you like a lemonade type, this the way to go and it's not too sweet to kick my non existence diabetes. . ALRIGHT, first time blew me away...this anticipation to see the consistency for the second time is almost like a roller coater. Finally I can explain how this fish taco made me lose my virginity. Comes with two tacos, sour cream, cilantro and salsa on the side. This fish we speak of, is crunchy on the outside, the first bite was okay..I'm waiting for my mouth to water which hasn't yet like my first experience but the second bite though getting into the middle bite though, the crunch mixed with a soft flavorful saucy mouthful was gasmicatic. Also had a second taster and they're not fond of fish tacos of their fishy scents but they approved and murdered an already dead fish without hesitation. Oysters had no complaints and not really a fan of steak fries but they were crunchy which made it enjoyable. About an hr later, I'm typing without auto correct so I guess the skinny Margarita wasn't a slow hitter but I'd probably try one of the other flavors in the future. I remember the first time it had salt on the rim and maybe a red coloring with an umbrella heh. Wasn't as sweet at that time but I'm curious if that'll also be the same punch next time. I heard another customer get a blue tropical and claimed too sweet but apparently it had the works. Who knows. Service was also friendly and excellent. Would I ever come back? Hell, yes. Every chance I get.

I'm honestly very upset to leave anything less than a 5 start review for this place because every other time I've come here with my family it's been absolutely wonderful. But tonight was a clear exception. We were seated by a nice gentleman & handed menus right off the bat. Our waitress was nice to start off with & offered suggestions to replace drink orders we made that ingredients were absent for. We ordered the crab dip & waited a few minutes for our 4 drinks.... ...one of which had alcohol. As a past bartender, this was very odd, considering I'd ordered a double. No biggie, mistakes are made. We signaled down a waitress & let her know & she explained to me that alcohol "gets diluted by ice".... we were also immediately treated poorly for the complaint & our service changed entirely in the next 10 minutes we waited for our waitress to come back. When she returned, she apologized for only putting one shot in my drink & then gave me real attitude when I asked for our app to go. Then charged us full price for the 3 drinks we didn't drink!!! After they literally cut us off every time we tried to speak & explain/chat about what happened. AWFUL SERVICE! Appalled. Extremely upset that a place I've been a patron at annually for YEARS was so not themselves this evening. Truly disappointing & I will be thinking twice about returning. UPDATE: DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING HERE, THEY WILL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU AND FORCE YOU TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY SERVICE!!!!! UPDATE 2: This establishment claims publicly that my father refused to pay for the entire bill (not true) after they "removed the drinks that were returned off the bill" (super untrue) & then called the police on him for trying to skip the bill in its entirety (literally 100% not true). Then when the cops got there, the entire scene turned into a "let's see how riled up we can get everyone over one customer who complained." Long story short, my dad paid $60 for all 4 drinks & the appetizer we ordered & left. What an evening, all in an attempt to have one alcoholic beverage & light fare before returning to our hotel. Never again.

I threw my family in the car and we drove from hampton to the water front to hear Derek Moore play some reggae at Lunasea for brunch on a Sunday morning. We brought along my mother in law, who is Jamaican, do that she could hear Derek play. She was instantly captivated by his sound the minute that she heard him play. BONUS! This place is huge. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We stayed indoors and sat just several feet away from the brunch time talent. I ordered a monte Cristo. It was okay. It was suppose to come with raspberry preserves/jelly. What I got was regular grape jelly. That was disappointing. I always compare a monte cristo to the one they use to serve at bennigans. This sandwich was far from it, but not bad. I also got a nice margarita on the rocks to go with my lunch. They have a pretty decent looking menu. Our server was on point and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty good. I can see this place as a nice destination during a hot summer day. We'll be back.

Had brunch today and it was delicious! Husband had chicken and waffles and he devoured it quickly! I had the country fried steak with sausage gravy! I have never had it with sausage gravy, so that was a treat! Intial bite had me dancing in my seat, as I got more into it, it became a little salty, but I still enjoyed. Also ordered the crab dip and that was tasty as well. Husband said he would dine there again before we leave for home! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Came here for a fun night out with my mains. Though part (or most) of my time here was a slight blur, the drinks were cheap-ish (cheaper than DC - $35 for 5 shots of Jack Daniels). I enjoyed the music. My friends didn't. The place was big with an interesting center with outdoor corn hole pit. Did not play. I'd definitely be back.

Good vibes in the heart of Va beach boardwalk. Upstairs inside club. Downstairs inside club or two spots to hangout outside this place has something for everyone's vibes. Bartenders are always friendly and attentive. Good place.

I was actually very excited to eat at this restaurant because it looked beautiful and very nice however the service was horrible and left me on the burst of tears. I'm not a very confrontational person but I had requested a Cesar salad as a side and I verbally had announced that and the waitress repeated it back to me in that way. However, when she brought me the large bowl I had asked her if it was the Caesar without even touching the bowl. I understand not being able to take it back after that but it was irritating, specifically when I asked for the side and was made to feel wrong, belittled, and stupid by the waitress. After this I asked if I could have the burger taken off since she wrongfully charged me for a salad I didn't want or take the salad off as a whole since I didn't touch it. I understand that was a big ask but I figured I would try anyways so she returned from asking the manager in the back if that was allowed and said no so I was going to let it go but my boyfriend didn't like seeing me upset, frustrated, and disrespected so he then asked to talk to the manager. The manager then came from the back and was being rude and yelling at me about the burger saying it was already being cooked and then I was talking about the salad and how I was wrongfully charged for a size I didn't want and the waitress still continued to belittle me and tell me I was wrong which left me on the verge of tears. After they left I tried so hard not to cry due to the horrible treatment I was given and it made me not even want to eat the food that I ended up paying for anyway. I waited 15 minutes on a sweet tea which I only received because my boyfriend spoke to another waitress for. Ultimately they gave me the right price on the salad after they treated me horrible and put me on the verge of a breakdown. I had to pay 20% in gratuity and it wouldn't have bothered me so much if they didn't treat me like trash and considering gratuity was weird since it was just me and my boyfriend. The waitresses name I had was Jill G and I don't know if she was having a bad day or that's just her personality but I hope she changes it bc her customer service and communication was horrible and made me feel horrible. I don't know the managers name but she needs to work on how she speaks to guests, especially paying customers.

I don't recommend this please we came to visit 2 to Virginia Beach and we tried to dine here and both times they didn't even gave us the Menu . They judge us by our appearance we are Latinos and they said it was a family diner place and we were going as a family and either way they didn't bother giving us the opportunity to step in to dine inn . Even tho it was a Cuban restaurant they discriminate us for been Latinos.

This place is not good as it used to be. It was way better last year but now foods and the stuff are not good enough

My family and I took the dogs down Atlantic Ave yesterday afternoon looking for lunch places with outdoor seating since we had our dogs with us. Made a quick turn and spotted this place and decided to give it a try after looking at the menu. The outdoor patio is very cute! The seats are crazy high though (lol). I'm 5'2 and it felt like a struggle getting up. Once seated, they brought out waters for everyone (including our two dogs). They had a lunch menu and a brunch menu and we all opted for the brunch menu since they had a buy one brunch entree, get the other half off. We ordered a Benedict, scrambalaya croissant, and two orders of pancakes as well as two Caribbean lush cocktails. Everything was delicious! My sandwich was a bit hard to eat as everything kept falling out, but still so so good. It came with potatoes with were also really good. The pancakes were big and came with bacon. I was told the Benedict was also really good as well. I also like their hot sauce there (it wasn't the typical Texas Pete or Tabasco)- it actually had a bit of a kick. Next time I'm in VA beach, I'd come back. We all really enjoyed the food. The only downside of the outside was the flies. They were no where to be seen until our food came out.

Between Atlantic and Pacific and so they are a very short walk from the actual boardwalk. And because of that proximity to the sea, perhaps that's why this mostly bar but partly restaurant has a focus on seafood and frozen drinks. Cornhole was going on outside while I enjoyed my meal. So I started with chips and salsa which was served with a medium sized bowl of salsa and a huge basket of chips. I knew on the inside that it wasn't free but perhaps this should be a little clearer. $4. No beer specials on this weekday night, just wine and frozen drink specials. $4 for a bottle of Coors Light is a bit much, doncha think? I had the tuna steak sandwich, which was blackened and quite tasty. A food thick piece of fish, quite meaty. The sandwich held together nicely. The fries with it were good and the price for this sandwich was good. So.. spendy for the drinks and chips, but a good filling sandwich. Enjoy!

We stopped by here because it was the closest place to grabbing lunch from where we parked. Most place didn't open until noonish on Sunday. We amazed by the service and atmosphere. The lunch and brunch menu selection was small, the only thing that was disappointing and that they were out of chicken. The tacos, burrito, and burgers was delicious but the grilled cheese was disappointing, it didn't even look like grilled cheese and was unappetizing.
