I stopped by on a rainy day around 1PM, so it was super quiet (which I loved). Our waitress was a gem. She let us try a few wine options before we decided what we wanted to order. I ordered a glass of rosé and the Greek board, and both hit the spot. The rosé was crisp and refreshing, which was perfect for a humid day. I paired it with the Greek board, which had all the Mediterranean favorites. A generous amount of pita, olives, hummus, feta and grapes! I'm a sucker for a good Med plate. Whether you're looking to have a girls day, a casual date, find a new spot to work from, or just pop in for a light lunch and glass of wine, Tinto is the spot. I look forward to visiting the VB location!

They are offering wine tastings on the weekends and usually at specified times per the website but the location was empty so they let us walk in. The wines are fruit forward but not syrupy.

We had hoped to sit outside, but were told there was a large group on the patio and they weren't sure whether any tables were available, so we ended up inside. I had the Main Street Burger with provolone and fries. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable. My dining partner had the veggie burger and found it a bit dry. The Pinot Noir was passable, but not especially good. Service was good and everything was perfectly pleasant--this just wasn't quite our kind of place, especially with so many interesting local options in the area.

The Sharpie Tattoo--with bacon, egg and maple--sounds a little crazy but absolutely works. We ate outside at a picnic table, and everyone helping us was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Even better, Bird Girl is tucked into the super cute, walkable Hilton Village neighborhood. We wandered around the neighborhood afterward, which made this more than just a food stop. Great casual vibe, good food and drinks, and a really fun little area to explore. Definitely one of our better finds in Newport News.

Normally I order the FFFFF pizza because it's hands down my all-time favorite. The crust is always perfectly crisp without amazing chewy sourdough bite they're toppings are unique and fresh and you can tell that they generally love what they do.

They had discount wine up front but the counter. A wall of wine for purchase is in the rear. Other grab and go refrigerated items like soup, cakes and ice cream. There is a decent amount of seating for those dining in. Recommend!

The food, as it should be is the star of the show. I ordered the Duck, which was the best duck I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. Some places can over cook it in an attempt to get that crispy skin, but here it was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy, meat flavorful and juicy, and not overly greasy. The sweet potato puree was excellent and elevated the meal. The drinks menu was really good. Our friends are Wine Connessiuers and we're impressed with the selection. Not a Connessiuer myself, though I do enjoy a nice red every now and then, our selection was really good.

This has been high on my "want to try" for a long time and finally saw an opportunity with an available reservation, went for it and am so happy I did. I dined solo, which I rarely do, but this was the perfect place for it. It was apparent that most people dining were regulars. The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!

They're located right next to one of our favorite spots Amirtha Curry. They're only open past 5pm. Let's see how things went When we walked inside, one of the staff asked if we had a reservation. Turns out the place is small with probably 11-12 tables in total. But luckily, a table was available and we were able to be seated. The decor inside was spotless and a bar is in the middle. The next time we dine in, I'll be sire to take photos when I get the chance. After looking over the menu for a few minutes, we decided to order a Denbigh pizza, one of their red sauce items. The toppings were pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. Since they were out of sausage, we chose ham as the substitute. Very good stuff. The pizza was cooked perfectly and there were plenty of toppings before our very eyes. We ended up taking half of the pie home where it was still delicious when warmed up. There you have it. We have both found a hidden gem in our neck of the woods. Yoi know we'll be back soon :)
