Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner. Had a reservation already, so no wait to be seated. All of the tables were full inside, but the ambiance didn’t feel crowded at all. There was a specialty valentines theme menu that they had. Even with it being busy this night, our waiter was communicative and attentive throughout the whole night. We were informed early on that the kitchen was a bit busy/getting backed up, so we appreciated the transparency. To drink: I tried the Sangria (8/10) I enjoyed the flavors; was a simple sangria. And the featured cocktail, Cupids Arrow (10/10) this drink should b

This is such a beautiful restaurant and lovely for a first date. We enjoyed the deviled eggs, charcuterie, salmon, and cesar salad. My only feedback is the deviled eggs had WAY too much mustard, almost inedible. Besides this everything was delectable. Dave provided excellent customer service and cannot wait to be back and see him again!

Norfolk has a lot of gems. Tried this place for the first time and planning my next visit. The food was absolutely delicious, everything was full of flavor. The service was just as good, the bartender was friendly and made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. The atmosphere tied it all together, cozy, laid back, and very enjoyable . Definitely a spot worth checking out!

I was there last Christmas and it was truly a gem! The staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. We started with the gnocchi for appetizers — it was so good I wanted to order another plate! For our entrees, we had the grilled salmon and the filet au poivre. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. I also tried their red sangria. While it was good, the cinnamon bark was a bit overpowering for my taste. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.
