They gladly accommodated our large group, and Jacob was a phenomenal server! Not to mention the food was amazing! The gluten free options were generous which I appreciated. Personally loved the crab and shrimp dip with tortilla chips, and the beet salad with the grilled ahi. We also loved the live music (so talented whoever was playing on 2/7!) and overall vibes. Will definitely make this a normal stop on our outer banks visits in the future.

This was not our first visit to Trio but was the most disappointing. My friend and I ordered the…read moresame thing, the soup of the day , fish stew, and Quinoa salad with greens, tomatoes and mozzarella balls. The soup was $9 a cup and the bowl$19! Neither one was worth the money. Everything is expensive anymore when you eat out, I don't mind paying if the food is good. The soup had no signs of fish or seafood in either serving. It tasted like a spicy vegetable soup. It was good but no fish and not worth $9. The Quinoa bowl was average, tomatoes were spongy and tasteless and 3-4 pearl mozzarella balls. How is that $19? Very disappointing. I gave 1 star for our wine and our waitress Emily did an awesome job. She was prompt and took care of all the tables in the dining room. She did a fantastic job ensuring we had everything we needed. It wasn't her fault for the food. We are both locals and wanted a girl lunch, and appreciate the challenges restaurants face. Trio is always busy So not sure why today's food was so poor. I still bought wine at the store, again great shop.

My happy place at my happy place! Glad to return to the OBX…read moreCigar Lounge at least twice this vacation trip! Fine selection of sticks competitively priced to be enjoyed in a small but comfy lounge with great seating and a TV for your enjoyment. The lounge is housed in the same building as Tap That, a bar and game room. If Shelly is working the bar, and she will visit the lounge to see if guests need a cocktail or anything else from the bar, you MUST try her smoked Old Fashioned! I had mine made with Buffalo Trace and it was fantastic! While visiting the Cigar Lounge, I had the opportunity to chat with two of the partners who own and operate the house. Great conversation and a good time to be had. I enjoyed sticks from Avo, Fuente, Nub and others. If you need a place to retreat to and can't smoke at your rental, the ONLY cigar lounge on the island is the place to relax and enjoy!

The place was busy but the one bartender was very professional and managed the place well. The bar is very long. Plenty of seats at the bar along with some small tables in the back.

It is a local watering hole that is very casual. Everyone seemed friendly. It is in downtown so you have to find street parking or a garage for your car. They do take cash and plastic. Recommend.

Will definitely come back here when I am back in the area.

Shout out to Sky Bar for bringing the igloo culture to Virginia Beach!…read moreNow if we could just keep this trend going in Spring/Summer... May I recommend a possible bungalow rental, just like your igloos? Can you tell Summer is on my mind? Sky Bar is one of my favorite places to go. I love the trendy, upscale atmosphere, but they still keep you grounded with their prices being fair & reasonable. They usually also have happy hour, when Sky Bar is actually Sky Bar, not their homemade winter wonderland. I'm going to highlight their igloos though, only because it's something seasonal, and new. You get an igloo reserved for up to 4 of your closes friends, and the igloo comes with: -personal server -decorated, social-distanced space -two heaters -blankets you can take home -waters -and honestly so many picture perfect opportunities. The food on the menu was also amazing, and I am all about experience, so I would highly recommend the s'mores kit. It makes the atmosphere seem more bonded, it's a warm winter night where you are able to do this, and the s'mores kit just set the tone to be a little more perfect. They have their signature drinks, or regular drinks to order just like a bar as well. They also do offer non-alcoholic beverages if anyone was wondering, wish also makes it kid-friendly! Nothing in the igloo was breakable either, which was nice not to worry about. I wish there was a little more space, to maybe have up to 5-6 people. Either way, I loved it. I loved the experience, and I can't wait for next Winter to do this again! And that says a lot, because if you know me, I hate the cold. But I will face Winter if I know I'm going here!

The scallops and crab-stuffed fish were a special that would blow your socks off. The scallops were some of the best I have had. The bruschetta at a seafood place was also killer.

The staff was great and very knowledgeable about their food. The overall atmosphere was tight but great for families. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
