There were other things to give this dish, texture and color simply perfection. Theme t day, I got the poached eggs dish with roasted potatoes and a tomato salad. Perfect!

We made a reservation here during the Fourth of July week for a Thursday and arrived at the Inn for…read moredinner. We weren't sure where the restaurant was located within the building so we stopped to ask where the Terrace a room was at a hostess stand where three women were working. They all stared at us like we had dropped from the sky and then one woman gestured down the hall. Except it wasn't down the hall. We were in fact at the Terrace Room hostess stand. Sort of an odd beginning. We were seated at a two top with one chair and a couch with huge pillows scattered all over that left no room to actually sit. Had to toss them to the center of the couch to squeeze in. The menus are giant in size so it's hard to lay them down on the small table. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We started off with a bourbon cocktail that included some candied ginger and was very refreshing. The server gave us each a small cube of bread and some butter. It was sort of comical how miserly they were with the bread. The menu offerings were sort of odd but we were able to watch what other tables ordered to make our selections. The entree prices are pretty hefty. We each got a Caesar Salad to start that was good. We both settled on the brisket sandwich (a July Fourth special) and one of us got the fries and the other a side of summer veggies that was squash & zucchini. The sandwich was okay but nothing grand for $21 and the veggie side caused us to both explode with laughter at how meager it was. C'mon folks, squash is dirt cheap so load it up. Absolutely ridiculous. Their wine selections were not super familiar to us and pricey but they give you an ample pour. The Inn itself is very beautiful and the night stars shimmering on the reflecting pool out front is very romantic. I'd recommend a drink at the bar and skipping the $200 dinner for two.

I just knew this place was going to be Top Notch when I told my bestie visiting from Atlanta we…read morewere going to go here for a cocktail hour this past Friday night... boy was I disgusted and disappointed. We arrived at 6:30pm for our reservation. We walked in and was greeted and the next gesture was the hostess asking for $10 each. I was a bit blown away because I didn't understand what the $10 was for because we just walked in the restaurant and it was only a handful of people inside including an employee sitting down eating ... and the workers still setting up and what appeared to be the entertainment that was setting up as well. The hostess mentioned entertainment was taking place around 7:30 or 8:00 ... Okay but it was not even close to that time frame so not sure why money was taken or asked for in advance. My bestie and I were going to dine if anything share an appetizer and have a drink ...definitely wasn't going to be there for any entertainment because we both were underdressed so that was a bit of a turn-off but he was excited to try the restaurant so he paid the $20 for us to walk in and sit down. The restaurant was wide open so we decided to sit at the bar instead of a table not sure if he was greeted at the bar because I went to the restroom. Nevertheless I came from the restroom and sat at the bar with him and not even 2 minutes later I was greeted with gnats and the smell of bleach such a turn off not sure what's going on here or what happened but I was ready to go. My bestie wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt but 5 minutes later I still was turned off and was ready to go. Well... go at your own risk. Parking is available on the street as well as a parking garage is available within walking distance. We were in and out by 7pm. $60 spent I order an old fashioned I know I finished that in about 15 seconds because I didn't want anything to get in it so from what I can recall it was good. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Even after waiting in line, customers are only allowed one drink at a time and then must get back in line again. Meanwhile, there was only one person working the bar, creating long waits for everyone. The food situation was even worse. I waited approximately an hour and a half for food after already standing in line to place my order. Customers are given a ticket that must be turned in to receive their food, but if the ticket is misplaced by staff or lost, you're essentially out of luck. There has to be a better system than that in 2026. The customer service was terrible. The kitchen staff was rude, and overall the employees treated paying customers as if they were inconveniencing them rather than supporting the business. It felt like basic courtesy and professionalism were completely absent. I also found it ridiculous that people were standing in long lines waiting for food inside what is supposed to be a nightlife venue. On top of that, the place is cash only, which feels outdated and unnecessary in 2026. The only reason this place seems to stay popular is because people like the atmosphere enough to tolerate the poor service and inefficient policies. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy myself at all. As someone visiting from out of state, this was one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I've had at an establishment. I will not be returning and would not recommend it to anyone who expects decent customer service and a well organized operation.

First review- so I'm gonna give ya all I've got on this spot…read more Location: It's in the same shopping center as Burlington coat Factory in Denbigh area Newport News.. Location isn't bad at all and there's more of an older crowd there. Not many folks my age (from what I saw, it's more of the throw back Thursday, which is cool) Food: I tried the 8 oz burger and instead fries I got a salad. Wish the burger had a bit more seasoning - I mean it was juicy but lacked flavor the ketchup mayo onion and things gave it that flavor. It has potential to be an amazing burger (I would pay more for flavor tbh). I also got a bold rock which is only $1 off during happy hour Each Combo comes with a drink, but I had to ask the bartender for my drink after my food came out versus her asking me what I wanted to drink aside from the beer since it's included ya know. Service: It's a pretty welcoming environment as far as the staff goes, the crowd they attract isn't like the alley on mercury but it also isn't giving me boujee either The bartender was pretty attentive and so was the gentleman who sat at the front and told me a bit about the place I asked him what goes on around here and he gave me the run down. I told him I was on yelp and uploading pictures since they didn't have much he says "we don't really do yelp too much" lol I mean whether the business does it or not people like my self will still give feedback about the business from an elite perspective. Will i return? I'd probably go back and try another food item and maybe check out some of their weekly happenings. For such a cool spot overall, there specials could be better. A pretty good experience I wish I could give them at least 4 stars but my rating of this represents the fact there isn't much that STANDS OUT it's just another lounge for food , drinks , musics etc. I do encourage you all to check them out and leave a review so others know about this little spot

The food was amazing, we were happy with the choices we had for entrees, and the decision to offer dessert at the grazing table worked out well to get people moving and mingling. The dinner went right into welcome drinks with over 100 more people coming in and the staff managed the flow of the crowd really well. The specialty drinks were a hit.
