Orion's Roof

We had a wonderful experience at Orion’s Roof! The views of the beach and surrounding buildings are absolutely stunning, and the ambiance is beautiful—perfect for a special night out. The food was good overall; some dishes really stood out while a few were just okay. What truly made the experience memorable was the service. Noel the manager and our server, was amazing! very attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had a great time. We ended the evening with a birthday cake that was not only beautifully presented but also tasted incredible. A lovely way to celebrate! Would definitely recommend for the view, atmosphere, and excellent service.

My husband and I had been looking forward to visiting Orion’s Roof for their Poké bowl, and as always, it did not disappoint! The flavors were fresh and absolutely delicious. My husband decided to try the steak sandwich with a Caesar salad, and he couldn’t stop raving about how perfectly cooked and flavorful it was. We were especially delighted when we found out our server was VJ. He has served us before, and he is truly our favorite! VJ is attentive, professional, and incredibly welcoming. He makes every visit feel special and elevates the entire dining experience at Orion’s. We enjoyed the perfect day date — amazing food, outstanding service, and an awesome atmosphere. You simply can’t go wrong with great food, great service, and breathtaking views of the beach. We highly recommend Orion’s Roof and can’t wait to come back again!

This place is one of our favorite places to go to in Hamptin Roads because we live the atmosphere. This place is impressive on every level, and we usually have different beautiful experience each time we go. Its Thai/Seafood place but very elegant. The 23rd Floor of the oceanfront Marriot is a perfect backdrop. The view is beautiful. The wife loves the Red Snapper, while I keep it simple with the Calamari and the Fried Rice. The fried dumplings are excellent and the libations are pretty good too. The staff is some of the most hospitable team of people ever, managers included. The menu could be expanded some, but everything on that menu they do it right.

I had a wonderful first time! The atmosphere was wonderful we sat under the tree! There was plenty of space, and our server Steven was absolutely fantastic!!!! You should ask for him! He kept our waters filled gave us recommendations and space like we enjoy. Drinks were wonderful I will say they did taste slightly strong (not that anyone’s complaining) and wonderful food I definitely recommend the Peruvian roll!

The food and atmosphere at Orions is worth the experience. Great business dinner location. Food tasted fresh and the drinks and dessert were awesome! Our waiter, VJ, was great... he had some good recommendations and was attentive when we needed him. Will be back for the fried rice and calamari for sure!

We went here as a weeknight date while we were in town, staying at the embassy next door. This place was wonderful! Service was great. They had plenty of reservation times available same day. The views are GORGEOUS. The windows look like the wrap around the entire restaurant, so you will always have an ocean view. We started off with a house of the rising sun and an old fashion! They were delicious. Portion sizes were just right. The food pricing was very reasonable too. We will absolutely be visiting again! Such a good date night spot.

We had reservations for 4:15 and let me just say the views 10/10 the food amazing too. We had their fried rice , shrimp sushi and their pasta . The waiter was amazing and very attentive . Honestly can't wait to do it again sometime . It was a relaxing and well worth it dinner .

My daughters and I really enjoyed it! Delicious food and drinks. A beautiful view from the window and a wonderful outdoor balcony. The oysters were delicious! Be sure to try the lychee mimosa.

Lovely experience Sunday night in the O bar. I got a mocktail and we had a snacks before bed as we got in late to the Marriott. The shrimp roll, gyoza and spicy tuna rolls were good for the price. I wouldn't say they are super special but we have had their specialty rolls before and loved them. The Krispy Kreme bread pudding with ice cream is AMAZING! The bartenders were friendly and prompt. We've had dinner here last year and it was also very good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Christmas

Beautiful layout and beautiful atmosphere with different views of the beach and have that city view as well this the place for you. Walking in was like a hidden gem or wonder the bar was very spacious and wide range where you had options before your table is ready to hangout at the bar and grab a drink. I got there house of rising sun cocktail it has a mild sweet and citrus flavor as well as the champagne cocktail it came with a pear as the top part to add that sweetness to make it more than what Is and everything is handcrafted they do also offer wine and beer a wide selection. They gave us a perfect layout for a party of 7 plus very considerate with making sure as people who arrive a little later were served as soon as possible and I do like services like that. I tried there 7 spiced Ahi super delicious and mix of light and bold flavors definitely a new favorite and I also had there Peruvian sushi rolls where that had more fresh and sweet taste and they had a lot of sushi options I pick this one it's little bit different from my normal rolls that I get and this was made on site fresh. The final chapter to close the night was green tea tiramisu and with suprise message, the dessert it self was nice and airy with the caramel sauce they use was amazing good. This place I highly recommend for all season long you have more options to enjoy the restaurant indoors and out. And since this was special day they made it extra special and easy and fast during a busy night like Friday and thru do also offer a late night O bar night out where they have a live Dj with good bites and drinks.

I came here almost 2 years ago with my daughter as she visited from out of town. We were disappointed with less than mediocre food so I didn't even leave a review. Today I figured to give another try, maybe the food has improved...??! Unfortunately I'd rate the service a 3: had to wait for more than 5 minutes for the hostess to get to the check-in desk/area.The server seemed rushed when she asked if am ready to order. By this time they already ran out of avocado toast. I ordered the Hong Kong braised pork bao. It was disappointing. The bao's weren't warm and fluffy soft, they were already stiff room temperature when served. The meat was under seasoned, they put raw jalapeños which would have been better pickled (now that's a tip which I could go to the bank with), and there wasn't any sauce, it was very dry. And this for $19 plus tax. I don't think Orion's redeemed themselves after these years. I guess you just pay for the nice view and the parking validation.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is remarkable to say the least. I ordered the Eggs Benedict from the brunch menu and it was honestly not impressive in the slightest. The sauce lacked flavor and the amount of food you receive is very minuscule. Our server Eric was also not as helpful with as multiple drinks and requests went unanswered.

We had reservations for 4:15 and let me just say the views 10/10 the food amazing too. We had their fried rice , shrimp sushi and their pasta . The waiter was amazing and very attentive . Honestly can't wait to do it again sometime . It was a relaxing and well worth it dinner .

Orion's Roof offers absolutely stunning views of the Virginia Beach oceanfront. The ambiance is incredible, making it the perfect spot for brunch or a date night. The food is excellent--on the pricier side, but definitely worth it for the experience. And whatever you do, don't skip the Cavalier cake... it's a must-try!

Terrible floor management. For a location that's in an optimal area for clientele turnover - they do an extremely disappointing job in managing their time and enabling their staff to efficiently work. THE worst services I've experienced in VB - and especially on the waterfront. Also never received a callback after leaving a message....

Pan Asian Americans Restaurant with killer view It was brunch time, so I enjoyed pancakes and an adult beverage. While my friend ordered tacos as she wasn't very hungry. The plates were generously plated with a lot of food and served with a smile. The food was delicious but this restaurant is famous for their killer views of Virginia Beach for a very special and high level of this hotel. Valet parking is available for guests of the restaurant. You'll love the restaurant, the view and the tasty food.

Back again! We were there for a office dinner this time and of course one of our favorite places to get together is this. Once you get your car valet, you get in and there is this grand wall decoration, and then you use the elevator to go to the 23 rd foot I guess. There are other options for parking too. After you get in, you get seated to the reserved seat. Well, it's better if you have a pre reserved spot for dinner. They have this amazing ocean view and an open rooftop lookout area. The food was amazing with great service. Will be back again for sure.

This place never disappoints. Whether I'm sat at the bar, the sushi bar, the restaurant, or on the rooftop patio, the food and service are always fantastic. This is that one place I am going to tell you to book WAY in advance for a good table, like 2-3 weeks in advance--at least. Service: 10/10. We were very well looked after and our server had us in fits of laughter each time he came to the table. It's always a blast when we come here and the staff are always friendly. Drinks: 8/10. I wasn't a big fan of the mocktails (DD, thank you. Take your judgement elsewhere.) My friend got an old fashioned and also rated it an 8/10. Food: 10/10. Each time I've come for the specialty sushi rolls and they never ever disappoint. The Firework Salmon Roll, Peruvian Roll, Surf and Turf Roll (SO GOOD) are my go to's. Overall, a solid 5 stars with a view you'll never forget. Remember to reserve a table at least a week in advance!

Highly recommend making reservations before going - this place is the place to go for the scenery. We came here for dinner without reservations and were served pretty quickly, however, we were placed at the sushi bar by a dark corner... I didn't like that the bar stools couldn't move aside and Im glad I got the corner because that was where all the table and arm space was available. Food was just okay. I would recommend getting their featured Ahi Tuna nachos - it was a special the time when we went. The flavors on the nacho and tuna was...perfect. I loved the kick of flavor that it had too. We then order the sword fish and some sushi. The sword fish was pretty tough - I think they may have overcooked it, and the sushi...was just ordinary. Mainly, from a majority of the reviews I've read before coming here was pretty much just for the roof view. Def make reservations way beforehand.

My fiancé and I have been dying to try this place and decided to go as a celebration of our engagement! The restaurant itself is gorgeous--beautiful views of the oceanfront, great musical ambiance, and very romantic lighting and decor. The drinks were amazing; my fiancé and I both had their Japanese old fashion, and my mother in law had a berrylicious drink. For dinner we all shared their lobster and shrimp roll, surf and turf roll, and the salmon roll. The BEST and freshest sushi I have ever had! We will definitely come back for that! We also shared the poke nachos, fried cauliflower bites, and pork gyoza. The portions were large--which is just what our family needs. The service is also very quick, especially impressive since they were busy that night! All the appetizers were delicious, not a piece was left on that table. For dinner we had the prime rib, rock fish, short ribs, and grilled sword fish. My rock fish was a little underwhelming, as the skin was the only flavorful portion. Although, my fiancés short ribs were delicious. Glad he gave me a bite of that before he devoured it! Our server made our dinner a very fun and lighthearted experience. We'll be back to give that brunch a try.

Amazing view of the oceanfront if you can get it! I requested to sit toward the sunset, but since it was raining that night, they sat us by the water. Shaun is an amazing server and took great care of us. The spicy tuna roll was a good starter- fresh and not too much rice. The branzino came with a sauce that pulled so many great flavors and spices- I wish I got the fish! The duck was very good as well, just a tad salty. The sweet potato puree and greens helped balance the dish. Great date night spot but would get a glass of wine or beer. Cocktails were good but meant to be savored at $20 each!

My friend and I went here for lunch and it was great! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the beautiful beach view. The service was good and we loved the food and drinks! We both got the Kobe Beef Burger w/fries. Best burger I've had in a while! The Watermelon Sugar High cocktail was tasty too!

IYKYK..just in case you don't..Orion's Roof at the Marriott was fabulous!! I had a Caesar Salad w/ grilled shrimp and it was very tasty!! Of course I had a couple of cocktails which were made to perfection, it was 3 of us unwinding after a day of conference sessions. The staff was friendly and fun, definitely service that I can appreciate. The vibe at Orion's was so chilled not to mention the view from the 23rd floor, although it was a light rain, the night view was still enjoyable!!

Came here with low expectations based on what I've heard from friends and glad I did because their reviews matches our experience. Views of the beach are nice, of course. But service and price for food versus the quality, not worth it. We had the weirdest experience with our server. She started out by giving us water but disappeared. 45 minutes later, a new server came by to tell us the other one had to go home and she'd be taking over. But she came to us with weird energy and just rubbed us the wrong way. And towards the end of the night, we saw our original server was still in the restaurant so what was that even about?! It took 50 minutes from the start of our reservation to put drink orders in, at that point we put all food orders in as well. The food wasn't terrible but most of it was not great. Would not recommend the crab rangoons at all. The edamame was overly salted in my opinion but others liked it. Highlights for me were the donut dessert and the Tequila old fashioned. Would maybe come back for just drinks and dessert in the future.

Stunning Views, Mixed Service The view at Orion's Roof is exactly what you'd hope for--breathtaking and expansive. From what I saw, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Definitely make a reservation and arrive on time. They validate two hours of parking, and valet is available for $7, which is a nice touch. We waited for our table at the bar, and the bartenders were fantastic--friendly and attentive. I ordered a cocktail with a rice wash and rum (wish I remembered the name). It was too sweet for my taste, but if you enjoy tropical, beach-style drinks, you might love it. Our server was polite but fairly absent throughout the evening. He helped me choose between two dishes, which I appreciated, but only stopped by five times: to greet us, take our order, check on the food (20 minutes after it arrived), bring the check, and return with the payment. I had hoped to order a glass of wine with my meal, but since he didn't come back until long after the food was served, it felt too late to ask. The hostess and gentleman that sat us were super sweet and helpful. Overall, Orion's delivers on ambiance and bar service, but the table service left something to be desired. I'd go back for the view and maybe stick to the bar next time.

Review for Orion's Roof Garden & Dining - Fireworks, Flavor, and Fancy Vibes Perched on the 23rd floor of the Marriott like a crown jewel on the Virginia Beach strip, Orion's Roof is giving penthouse energy with its wide, open layout and almost-floor-to-ceiling windows that practically dare the sun to set in style. The space is smartly arranged -- max capacity without max chaos -- so you don't feel like you're dining in someone else's lap. We lucked out with a prime-time table on the Fourth of July -- yes, that Fourth -- where we could catch fireworks from both sides of the beach. The views? Pure cinematic drama. All we needed was a soundtrack and a wind machine. Now, this place was packed -- and I mean elbow-to-elbow, let-me-squeeze-past-you realness. But somehow, the service team held it down. Servers were tag-teaming, filling in for each other like Olympic relay runners, making sure tables were fed, watered, and pampered. Since we'd already been indulging in an appetizer adventure elsewhere (we were on a full-blown restaurant crawl, don't judge), we kept it cute and classy here: a soft-shell crab roll that strutted onto the plate like it knew it was the star, duck confit egg rolls that were crispy on the outside and luxurious inside, and a side of broccolini that made us feel a tiny bit healthy. We paired it with sparkling mineral water and a watermelon mocktail that was giving spa day meets summer picnic. The vibe? Elevated. The view? Iconic. The experience? One to bookmark for next year's fireworks. Or honestly, any night you want to eat like a beachside boss.

My husband made reservation for my birthday dinner and pre-baby/mommy-daddy date. The hall entrance, you'll walk by structural facade with some arts and crepescular lightings. We were greeted by Noel with kindness and great conversation asking us where we are from, I'm from San Diego and my husband is from NY! Asked us if we have been at Orions before and what brought us to Orion's etc, which is a good quality for any upscale restaurant manager to build rapport with customers. We ordered three of Wagyu dishes, two specialty sushi rolls, filet mignon (which was savory & tender!), edamame and topped it off with the Krispy Kreme bread pudding with vanilla ice cream on top. A wine for the husband and mocktail for me. Dustin was our server and he is very attentive, we appreciated his honest recommendations. We will definitely be returning again.

The critical reviews are right on point... Cocktails and service are great. But the quality of the food does not match the price. The triple spicy tuna roll was underwhelming. The pork potstickers were of the grocery store freezer aisle variety. My whiskey sour ($13) was made with egg white and served "up" which is exactly how I like it. The view from the oceanfront windows is pretty - even on a cloudy day. I would recommend this place for drinks, friendly service, and the view. I would not go back for the food.

We came here to celebrate a special occasion. According to their website, reservations are required, and my husband I showed up a little before our 7:30 pm reservation but had to wait until almost 8 pm to be seated. While we waited, I asked the hostess twice if we could grab a drink from the bar, and was told we could not, because we would be seated soon, but then we still waited almost a half hour. We noticed they were taking walk-ins and adding people to a wait list, although the website says reservations are required. Their website also says the dress code is "smart casual", which we followed, but many people were dressed casually in flip flops, baseball caps, athletic shorts, T-shirts with loud designs on them, etc., changing the entire atmosphere. Once seated, we ordered drinks and food, all of which were good. The salmon crudo and rockfish entree were our favorites, well-prepared, flavorful, and plated nicely. However, during dinner, there was a toddler in a high chair repeatedly yelling two tables away, which really hurt the ambiance and was very strange to see during a 9-10 pm timeframe. This was definitely not the experience we wanted for an anniversary dinner, and we were disappointed with their false advertising - the restaurant could have been up front about what to expect, and if it's a casual kid-friendly place, so be it. The food and drinks were good, but not enough to make up for their overall ineffectiveness and disorganization.

My fiancé and I went here on a weekend getaway and loved it here! Our waitress was extremely helpful! The salmon was delicious. The restaurant interior was gorgeous and very impressive!

Orion's is a bit all over the place. Food = 3/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance = 4/5 We came here to celebrate both mine and my husband's birthdays on a Wednesday evening. We ordered the Rhu Berrymore and Chill Pill to start. Both drinks were VERY good! We also started with the calamari and crab rangoon chopsticks. Also very delicious! The overall decor here is....strange. It's like they combined farmhouse chic with 90s luxury. Whoever designed the space should be fired, IMO. Haha! For entrees, I had the crabcakes and my husband ordered the filet, but they were out. So, he was stuck with the ribeye. When both came out, we were super disappointed. He ordered medium and got well done. The crabcakes were charred to a crisp. But I ate them anyway. We told our server about the ribeye and he was more than kind and we were also visited by the manager who comped us a drink. Now THAT is great service!! I only wish their food matched. We would return to have a drink, but the food just isn't worth it, I'm afraid.

I'ts all hype. Orion's Roof really did not leave me wanting to come back. In the end its all hyped up because of location and view. But, just like a wedding cake it needs to both be delicious and pretty. Orion's Room was pretty, but the food was meh. I splurged and ordered the lobster. It really was delicious. So many great flavors meeting together with melted butter than painted over the lobster. My dessert was ok. Nothing to write home about. Our waitress was great. She was very attentive and helped up answer any questions. The bathroom set up is kind of cool. I like the dark feel to it. Leave enough time to navigate parking, and dress a little nicer.

We had a rooftop dinner at Orion's and it was an experience! The view was so amazing and our waiter was very well informed of the history of the restaurant, the food, menu, and the head chef. We started with the Waygu appetizer but ate it so quickly there was no picture but it is a must try. We got the spicy tuna roll but I could have done without it even though it was a specialty item. The best was the lobster and shrimp roll, I could have ate 5 more if I had a larger stomach. To top it all off the desert was also a must try, Krispy Kreme bread pudding was top tier so make sure you leave room for that! While we ate we got to watch the dolphins swim by, such a fun experience and a highly recommended stop in VA beach!

Food & drinks were excellent with great flavors! Service was superb and our waiter was friendly and could offer recommendations. The view was amazing where you can see the boardwalk and beach with a truly unique ambiance.

If you are looking to splurge a little and dress up from some asian fusion and views, then this is your place! On one of the top floors of an oceanfront hotel, this restaurant is definitely worth the price for its view of the entire Virginia Beach. Along with that the service is absolutely amazing. The waiters and waitresses are all kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Food wise, they are definitely known for their sushi rolls so I would highly recommend getting at-least one of those but if you want something else just know they have a variety of options to choose from almost all asian inspired. Great date location and you get free two hour parking if you scan the ticket for the hotel garage at the front of the restaurant. Highly recommend making a reservation as well.

We went for my daughter's 24th birthday -- turns out the real gift was learning patience. Our table wasn't ready on time, but the bar saved the day. Gorgeous view, stellar drinks -- we briefly thought things were looking up. Then came dinner. We all ordered the rockfish with brussels sprouts and braised daikon. The fish was cooked perfectly... and seasoned with absolutely nothing. The sprouts were equally minimalistic -- apparently "salt" was an optional upgrade. The daikon even took a hike and skipped one of the plates. I started wondering if the chef had taken a vow of blandness. Dessert? An apple crumble with miso caramel sauce that somehow managed to taste like none of those things. So yes -- the drinks were amazing, the view was lovely, and the food was... a culinary ghost. Next time, I'll skip the table and head straight to the bar.

Five of us where in the area and chose this location for lunch. We were there in the off season, so parking and crowds were not really an issue. You can park in a parking deck and get it validated at the restaurant. If you get seated by a window, the view is fantastic. You can see the beach and ocean for a long ways! All of us got various lunch orders and the food was good.

I went to brunch at Orion's with my family from out of town this past Sunday. I was running late but was immediately warmly greeted by the manager. He took me to where my family was seated and we had a nice little conversation on the way. My seat was a little cold because of the breeze blowing through the walkway between the middle seating area and back seating area. I didn't catch the server's name but she was lovely. She didn't rush us. She let us take our time ordering and was on top of everything (even with a full section). I ordered the Eggs Benedict with crab cake from the brunch menu. The yoke wasn't at all runny, unfortunately, but that's just me being picky. Other than that it was delicious and the perfect amount of food. If you don't like heights, maybe this isn't the place for you. As for me, the view was gorgeous and the atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. I'll be back :)

I feel bummed that I'm only giving this spot 3 stars because the service and the view were amazing! The food though was mediocre at best, especially because it was so expensive! The only good thing was the singaporean noodles. As far as sushi, there was just too much sauce! You couldn't really taste the fish or whatever else they put in there.

Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. We went for dinner and then for lunch. Our server for dinner was exceptional. Her name was Katie. It was our first time dining there and she provided excellent suggestions for food. We ate firecracker cauliflower, 7 spiced ahi, pork pot stickers, spicy lobster & shrimp roll, and Cavalier mile high cake. We were amazed at how flavorful all the food was. The best view of Virginia Beach was during lunch. We truly enjoyed seeing Virginia Beach from the rooftop. The food was delicious during lunch as well. We ate maine lobster banh mi, California roll, spicy lobster & shrimp roll, tuna tartare, and pork fried rice.

This is a different vibe from the rest of the Virginia Beach restaurant scene. Very upscale and purposely appointed. The outdoor lounge area with gas fireplaces looked really nice. Drinks are great, the wine list is well put together and thoughtful. The food is very good. I started with 7 spice Ahi Tuna that was very different from what I expected, but very good. My wife got pork pot-stickers that were delicious. Seeing as it was our last night in town and we didn't want leftovers (we failed - my wife's bowl of pork fried rice was huge) , I opted for sushi. The surf and turf roll to be exact - it's a nice roll with waygu beef, lobster meat, truffles and horseradish sauce - delicious. We shared a tempura shrimp roll that was very good too. The service was slow and spotty. We were seated before several others around us and yet they all received drinks/water/food before us, it's not a huge deal, but when you charge upscale prices for food you must deliver upscale service as well.

Ambiance was spectacular with the Christmas decorations and panoramic views on the 23rd Floor of the Atlantic Ocean and the Cavalier all lit up. Being Christmas night we were so excited to get a table. Our waiter was very friendly and easy going. He had a great personality. He said he was normally a bartender. The food was good. We started with a Grilled Corn Elote, street corn type appetizer with chips for dipping. The corn mixture was under seasoned and some of the chips were soft, not crisp. But overall nice dish. That's the reason for 4 stars. My daughter ordered a Bento Box for my one year old grandson. The fries were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. That's all he really ate but was happy. There was also hanger steak, celery, carrots and a salad. Good value for $20. I had a tempura shrimp sushi roll and it was as good as I've ever had for that particular roll. I ordered a Caesar salad but never got it however I was pleasantly full so it didn't matter. For dessert we had the Mile High Cake, a chocolate layer cake shaped like a high rise building. It had an espresso icing which was delicious. Fun place to go.

The views from Orions roof are stunning. I had reservations and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was really friendly and took her time going through the menu. Being it was our first time, my friend and I got a little bit of everything. For appetizers we got the shumai, salt and pepper calamari and the duck confit egg rolls. For main entrees I got the seared salmon and my friend tried a few of the specialty rolls. And of course by recommendation we had to try the famous Cavalier Mike high cake. Overall the food was good, but not great. I expected a little more for the price but you are definitely paying for the views and experience with Orions Roofs. It would be perfect for a date night or happy hour though.

-Requested a reservation midday and there was tons of availability for late evening. -Saturday night and there was a DJ starting at 10pm and it seems as if no reservation was needed in that outdoor area. It was more of a rooftop bar. Didn't interfere with the indoor vibes or the music. -Food was good and menu items are items and combinations that may not be a thought in other nearby restaurants. Definitely an experience. -Really good portions and like the server said everything is fresh on the menu to include the crab meat for the sushi rolls. -pricing is as expected for "an experience" date. -parking garage was full but there was availability for reservations. Parking garage gets validated for 2 hrs and valet parking is always an option as well.

Wife and I decided to make the last Saturday of summer 2025 a beach day. On our drive down to VA from MD I got the idea to make a brunch reservation at Orion's roof. I never visited when I lived in the 757 and wife hadn't been when she visited the area so it was the first time for both of us. We were seated pretty fast but asked the waitress if we could be seated by the window instead so we had to wait a few minutes extra for a table to open up. It was worth it, the window view was amazing! We enjoyed the chicken katsu Don and the short rib/egg on bao. So glad we started our VA beach day with brunch at this spot!

We sat at the bar and although it wasn't full , everyone seemed very busy. One thing about Orion's Roof the view is always gorgeous. We had a couple of cocktails that were flavor explosions and refreshing . It took a while to order but I had a Tempura shrimp roll and it was pretty good.

I always love coming here on business trips when my company will allow me to stay at the Marriott :-) Consistently excellent food, service, amazing views, wonderful sushi and seafood dishes. I normally go for their rockfish entree, perhaps some sushi or other appetizers. The views are simply unparalleled, great for groups or solo dining. Normally around 5 PM or so the bar is pretty quiet so good for a solo diner if that is your style. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is located at the top of the building and has an amazing view of the beach! You have to park in the garage, but they will validate parking for 2 hrs. I got the garlic parm wings ($15), hongkong toast($19), and country fried steak($18). The wings were a great size and cooked perfectly. The garlic parm sauce was quite good, it had a bit of a sour taste from the garlic which surprised be a bit. The country fried steak was breaded and fried quite well, and i was surprised that it wasn't crazily salty. The gravy had the right saltiness to go along the fried steak. The staff were friendly with giving recommendations. The highlight is the amazing view of the beach and skyline at the restaurant height! Overall I had an excellent meal at a good price and portion size. Food(50%): 8.5 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 9.0 Overall: 8.5/10

Went to the rooftop last week and didn't have a reservation. It is on the 23rd floor, so the views are amazing. We were told it would be a 5-10 minute wait, however it did take a little longer. The restaurant was packed, however; the outside patio was open for drinks only; not food. Wanted calamari for an appetizer, however, they ran out. We ended up getting oysters, which were pretty decent. They came with some sort of onion sauce? Which i wasn't a fan of. For the entree, I ended up getting crabcakes and vegetables, which were good and i had enough for leftovers, and my friend ended up getting two drinks and a steak entree. They don't have any A1 sauce, btw lol.

Great view and vibe in Virginia Beach which is rare place to find, great service and we loved our server, friendly and helpful. Food will benefit from more variety of sea food. I don't know why they don't have oyster in menu. Will benefit from more options with shrimp.

As much as I wanted to love this place thanks to the incredible view surrounding us and the crab cake dinner, a rating of 3 stars is a max from me. We were a bit late for our reservation but the staff could still get us a table relatively quick so that was a plus. although there's a dressing code and all that fancy stuff, the restaurant is not entirety quiet and the vibe was pretty chill. The prices of their food were relatively fair considering most of their food are seafood and wagyu based, and it's a rooftop restaurant at Marriott. However, I just think the menu items were all over the place and it's giving me cheesecake factory or Maggie Mcfly vibe. Most of the appetizers were Japanese style, and the entrées were new American style, a tiny section of Chinese takeout type of food, then there's a page of sushi rolls and nigiris... It might just ne my personal opinion/preference, but if I am feeling of having Japanese food, I'd want a full Japanese menu. If I want New-American style food, I'd want that. If I want some fried rice and mei fun, I'm getting to-go from the Chinese take out place elsewhere with a cheaper price... Anyhow, my bf and I ordered the Spicy Lobster & Shrimp roll as an appetizer, I ordered the crab cake dinner and my bf ordered the fall special flounder that comes with some sort of caramel sauce and greens underneath. We ordered the sushi roll because we heard their excessive chef was a sushi chef for a long time. "Disappointing" with the Spicy lobster & Shrimp roll is an understatement. There was way too much sauce and I couldn't taste the lobster. The shrimp inside the sushi was pathetically slim and the tempura batter was cold and not crunchy. The only credit that I could give to this sushi roll was the fish eggs on top were fresh. The Fall special flounder that my bf got, both of us didn't like the sauce at all. The fish itself was pretty decent tho. The outside of the fish was crunchy and the fish tasted fresh. Flounder is a relatively mild fish, so the sauce that pairs with it is the main character. The ccaramel sauce that came with the fish didn't go well with the fish at all. We don't know what it was, but they just didn't go well together. My bf had to ask for some remoulade sauce to finish up his fish. Now it comes Orion's redeem time. The crab cake that I ordered other than the view was the best thing throughout our dinner. FiFirst off it was placed nicely, and every ingredients were very fresh. The crab cakes were packed with crab meat, and the renoulade went very well with them. We finished up with the Cavalier's Mile High Cake and a bowl of chocolate ice cream on the house for my birthday. The Mile High Cake was really nothing special. It's supposed to taste like bourbon, espresso and chocolate according to the menu, but all I tasted was a good chocolate cake. The ice cream however was pretty chocolaty. Overall based on the view and the crab cake, it's worth going there for a nice dinner once in a while. But it's a matter of ttime that I'm tired of crab cakes and I would have no idea what else I would like from Orion's Roof.

The service here was amazing! Our server was polite and we had tons of questions and requests. I highly recommend the whole snapper. It comes fried and full of flavor. I went here for date night, but need to go back during the day to experience the beach views

We definitely ate with our eyes--our table was packed thanks to the wide selection. Portions were generous and everything was hearty and flavorful. We started with a side salad and the octopus salad, which surprised my fiancé--he wasn't expecting an entire tentacle! It's a must-try for anyone feeling adventurous. For mains, we had the duck confit and seared salmon, and also shared a few sushi rolls. The surf and turf roll topped with wagyu was definitely a standout. We requested a view of the ocean, and the staff did not disappoint--it made the experience even more special.

Not only does is restaurant located at a Marriott, but it has some of the most amazing views in Virginia Beach. Depending if you're sitting outdoors you can see the oceanfront and on the other side you see the endless ocean. top it off with some of the best brunches offered at the beach. not going to lie, at first i wasn't a fan, but lately the establishment is getting better. service the last time i went was lacking. our server didn't only served our drinks and food, never came around to check on us or to refill our glasses. it wasn't even a packed morning, which is rare. so if you're staying at the marriott for a staycation or visiting from other places, come visit Orions Roof. Great food, good service and amazing views.

VJ is the best waiter. We moved to the area a year ago and have become regulars at Orions Roof because of VJ. The food is amazing and the view is stunning. You have to try the 7spiced ahi. We love VJ!!!

This is a review for their BRUNCH only. I went for brunch for the first time today, and I don't think I would come again. I like the ambiance better at night than during the day, but I will say the terrace is lovely for a beautiful day. The food disappointed. We had a party of 17, so I tried a variety of dishes, and they were average at best. The only thing everyone agreed on being good with no issues were the sushi dishes. My entree was the short ribs with eggs, and the description is super deceiving. What I thought I would be getting was a plate of short ribs and scrambled eggs with a bao bun. What I got was 2 small slider sized bao buns with a tiny piece of short rib and a small chunk of egg on each one. While the waiter warned me this was a small entree, he should've advised the description is not what you think. It is more of a small plate or appetizer than a $17 meal. The only saving grace this afternoon were the drinks were all made very well. However, they are pricey. The wait staff was very nice, attentive, and informative. I expected a lot more because dinner is so great. This will be my first and last time attending for brunch! Oh and if you come with a large party, be informed they cannot do more than 2 checks. So be prepared as far as who will be the one to pay. We had 2 bills of over $500 each.

This is my second visit and I always recommend people to come in they want an elevated experience in Virginia Beach. This restaurant not only has a beautiful view from the 23rd floor of the Marriott. The customer service is top notch, and the drinks are really good. The surf & turf sushi roll keeps me coming back. It's a little expensive, but worth it.
