Orion's Roof

While visiting Virginia Beach, it was recommended that I visit another rooftop restaurant but they weren't open to the public until Memorial weekend. I was then told about Orion's rooftop which is located inside the Marriott. I'm so glad I was able to experience it because everything went well. You will definitely need a reservation to make sure you gain access to enter. Luckily for me, someone canceled and a spot was made available for me. When my waiter came I had to laugh because he explained the menu like flight attendants show you what to do in case of an emergency. It was so cute. I had the lobster roll and it was so delicious I wound up ordering another one. The sunset view alongside the ocean waves were picture perfect. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This establishment did not disappoint. Don't worry about parking in the garage because they validate up to 2 hours. The one negative thing that happened was when my waiter asked me if I liked my drink (since the glass was still full) I said no and told him why. He took the drink back and I thought he would've taken if off my bill but later realized I was still charged for it...

Great Views, But Alarmingly Close to a Dangerous Fire Hazard. I had a late lunch at Orion's Roof during my stay at the Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort. The views from the 23rd floor are absolutely stunning, as expected. The food was decent, a fairly typical experience where the quality of the meal is acceptable but not outstanding, often compensating for a truly exceptional view – which this place certainly has. However, my dining experience was severely tainted by the direct observation of a severe safety hazard just steps away from the restaurant. The emergency stairwell (Stairwell B), located prominently in the middle of Orion's Roof restaurant, was completely blocked for over 48 hours during my hotel stay. On July 2nd, immediately after dining, my party attempted to use this stairwell to return to our room, only to find it entirely impassable due to massive amounts of mattresses, garbage, and other hotel equipment. I verbally reported this specific obstruction to the restaurant staff at that time, in addition to the front desk. While the primary blockage was eventually cleared, other hotel equipment and garbage continued to obstruct the path for the remainder of my stay. Additionally, the other emergency stairwell (Stairwell A), located near the host station, was consistently cluttered with various items. This direct violation of fire safety standards, right next to a high-traffic restaurant, is incredibly concerning. While the restaurant itself offers great views and decent food, the alarming proximity to such blatant and persistent fire safety violations makes me question the overall safety culture of this establishment. I hope these critical issues are addressed immediately.

Spend my 30th birthday dinner at this beautiful restaurant. The service is top notch and it obviously has the most breathtaking view of the ocean and city, I truly believe there’s no bad seat in this whole place because of the way it was designed. We got the salmon taco as app, short rib and crab cake as main, while everything is tasty and beautifully presented, we both left feeling a bit heavy since both dishes and the side vegetables are somewhat oily. It might just be the dishes we ordered though. We are definitely still excited to come back again when we visit Virginia Beach in the future.

I went with my 6yr old and we had an absolutely stellar experience. We had the oysters, mussels, my son had the scallops and I had the duck confit. Our server was Steven Kroll and he was amazing. The freezer wasn’t working so we didn’t get to try the Shibuya sadly but everything else was wonderful. We had no complaints and my son gave it a 5 star review which is big for him because he is extremely detail oriented.

We celebrated my birthday dinner at this incredible spot, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. The views were breathtaking, creating a serene backdrop that made time feel like it was on pause, allowing us to savor every moment. The food was a culinary masterpiece, each dish more delightful than the last, and the service was impeccable, making us feel like VIPs. And the sushi? Absolutely phenomenal! Trust me, you don't want to overlook it—it's a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving more. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish!

Had an amazing experience at Orion’s Rooftop in Virginia Beach! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was flavorful, and the views were unbeatable. Our server, Sean—he delivered exceptional hospitality and truly top-tier service. Friendly, attentive, and made us feel like VIPs the entire time. Definitely a 9/10 experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back! Also: I would recommend the Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding for anyone who is struggling to sleep. It’s gonna send you straight to the bed for a nice nap.

Dined here for Sunday brunch. This restaurant offers a beautiful view. We were able to watch the dolphins swim and play while we ate. The staff was friendly. I ordered the California roll and it was the best I've ever had! I will definitely be dining here again!

Exceptional views from the rooftop of the Marriott resort. Not a cheap place with tip- but a must visit if you’re in VA Beach. Service was was very friendly and welcoming and timely. We had a few dishes ( and I can’t remember all the names). For Appetizers, Crab Rangoon and Ahi Tuna roll were delicious. The Surf n Turf Sushi was juicy with seafood and meat balance. Another sushi had crisp rice which was also excellent. Fish Carpaccio (?) was savory; Beef bulgogi bowl had a nice presentation and good balance of beef and rice. handheld Korean chicken sandwich was a bit messy, but overall ok. Food portions were adequate. Overall, highly recommended!
