This is a very nice Italian style restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. Service was friendly and welcoming and the restaurant had a clean, modern vibe to it. Heated outdoor seating was avaliable, and I took advantage of that. Food was very good as well, and I had a hard time choosing what to eat as a lot of the items sounded so good. My linguini and clam dish was smooth and delicious, and the tiramasu later on hit the spot. The bread butter and complimentary chocolates were in the shape of a turtle as well, which was a nice touch. Overall, if I was a local I'd eat here again and again.
What a marvelous experience. Truly one of the best meals I've had in quite some time, even counting the beforetimes. We started off with the excellent house-made bread, then the beef dumplings (such a great blend of flavors) and the burrata (excellent tomatoes in March? How??). Then I had the shrimp tagliatelle, perfectly cooked plump shrimp with a delightfully creamy and lemony sauce. My friend opted for the excellent short rib rigatoni, the meat fell apart at the touch of a fork. We thought we might be too full for dessert, but the white chocolate panna cotta with citrus accents was just right, the perfect end to a spectacular meal. I'm sorry I don't live closer or I would be a regular, but I'll definitely come back anytime I'm in Virginia Beach.
So many great things to say about this place. You get what you pay for. Expect to drop a decent amount of money on the bill, but you will not be disappointed. The mussels are fantastic. I had our waitress put the leftover broth from the mussels in a to-go container. I don't think there is a bad choice on the menu. Terrapin is the best restaurant at the oceanfront.
Food and service was really good. The restaurant was very nice on the inside. My only complaint was there was a loud group of women in the bar area that were being extremely load. I asked the waiter to say something in the hopes they would quiet down but unfortunately he didn’t say anything to them nor did they quiet down. This was to be a fun intimate evening out with my wife on her birthday which was continuously interrupted with load conversation and cackling from the group.
This was absolutely fantastic, was not super crowded, I had warm outside seating. My waitress Kate was so nice. I know I was super extra but she made my birthday dinner super fun. Thank you to the gentleman that let my have the Balloons at the front deck lol. Food was perfect, and the wine pairing was unique with the beef tartar..OMG The Rockfish was to die for YESSSSS.
The food was honestly much better than I expected, very fresh and seasoned perfectly, but the level of customer service at this establishment is TOP NOTCH!! You will not be disappointed. My experience was a little different, but I’m here leaving a review for that very reason. My original reservation was for 815, but due to unforeseen circumstances didn’t think we would make it to the restaurant before the last seating at 845, so with less than 8min to get to the restaurant I called and spoke to Brian to cancel. Mind you this is probably the third time I’ve talked to him haha! To my surprise he ensured me he would still seat us so we could celebrate my brother’s birthday. This kind of service is RARELY seen these days PLUS Brian even met his tardy diners at the door and seated us immediately. I honestly didn’t even care that much about the food at that point because I was so taken aback. Eric, our server was also amazing and helped me make some good wine choices. We will definitely be back. Eric and Brian thanks again so much for turning a pretty hectic day into a nice relaxing finish.
Beautiful Establishment. The manager Bryan was so friendly and welcoming. Their Bartender Jordan was so knowledgeable and gave honestly the best customer Service I've ever had sitting at a bar. It wasnt crowded, the wait and kitchen staff didnt seem overwhelmed and the overall environment was amazing. I highly reccomend this spot for any occasion couple would love it as they have a 4 course tasting menu that my husband and I thorougly enjoyed.
This restaurant is right off of 32 and came highly recommended. My girls and I came in for dinner during our trip in June and had a really lovely meal. Prices are comparable to similar semi-fine dining places. Service was so so good, food amazing, prices a little high but still. Have you seen their terrace? Hanging lights and just really lovely.
Absolutely fantastic, amazing service wine pairing was so much fun
Could not wait to go there. Heard how great it was. Went for Christmas Eve dinner they put us in the terrace aka the garage. I felt like I was at the kids table. Food was okay. The butternut squash ravioli tasted like it was made with apple butter. There were dim squash squares in it. My husband got the rockfish and it was disappointing. The server was good but I would not go back
