Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal…read moreexperiences and my personal experiences alone, so without further explanation let's begin!. This business is connected to Westside burger. Unfortunately they were closed this evening. But The Silos were open for business. They have an inside bar on both sides of the establishment, they have a seating area outside on both sides as well.. and believe it or not there is a rooftop seating area upstairs as well... The waitress was on her job as soon as we walked in making it easy to order food and drinks. There was even a game area to your left when you walk in. The yard area is for the whole family to enjoy. But in order to enjoy rooftop dining you have to be 21 years old or older to enjoy rooftop dining!. The bars offered a full experience of beer, liquor and other alcoholic beverages! I will recommend and definitely return for another great experience!. Another 5 star experience!.

Really wanted to like this place because the 21+ rooftop is beautiful, but the food service…read morecompletely ruined the experience. The bar service was great, but do not come here if you're planning to eat. I ordered a taco, and after 40 minutes I was still waiting. How does a taco take that long? (The photo shows what I was still waiting on.) It was also our first time visiting, and there was zero guidance. No one greeted us or told us whether to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. We tried ordering through the QR code, but it didn't work either. The rooftop itself is really nice, but the food service and lack of customer service were incredibly disappointing. I'd only recommend coming here for drinks. Update: we waited 50 mins and never got our food so we just cancelled the order. Tacos?? Really guys? Never coming back here. At least the bartender was understanding.

We had a great experience overall! We ordered the catfish with several different sides so we could…read moretry a variety of dishes, along with both the fried and smothered turkey chops. Everything came out fresh, piping hot, and full of flavor. The food was definitely the highlight, and I would absolutely come back for it. I also ordered a cocktail, which was just okay. The customer service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the seating. We tried multiple tables because each one was pretty wobbly, and even after moving, the other tables we tried had the same issue. The ambiance also wasn't really my style, but that comes down to personal preference. Overall, the delicious food and good service made it a worthwhile visit.

Came in on a Tuesday around 6 PM, and it wasn't very busy…read more I ordered the ribs with collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The ribs were...just okay, which is surprising because I've honestly never had ribs that were just okay. They brushed barbecue sauce on top, but the underside of the ribs was pretty dry. It felt a little stingy with the sauce. The collard greens weren't bad, but they were saltier than I prefer. I also would have loved a little vinegar, though I know that's a matter of personal taste. The mac and cheese looked amazing when it came out, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the appearance. It was underseasoned and lacked the rich, savory flavor I was expecting. This is a soul food restaurant, so I expected a mac and cheese that was bold, cheesy, and full of flavor. Instead, it tasted very mild--almost like it was seasoned for kids. The cornbread was also a miss for me. I'm honestly not sure what all the other reviews are raving about. It didn't really taste like traditional cornbread, but it also didn't have the sweet, cake-like texture that some restaurants go for. It kind of landed somewhere in between, and it just didn't work for me. I wouldn't order it again. Our server, Kiya, was friendly but only moderately attentive. One of my biggest dining pet peeves happened at the end of the meal: she asked if we wanted to-go boxes, brought them out, and then disappeared without bringing the check. If guests are asking for boxes, that's usually a pretty good sign they're ready to leave. Reading the room goes a long way. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. It was just a pretty average experience. I left feeling underwhelmed, especially given the reputation and the expectations that come with a soul food restaurant. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

We found ourselves in downtown Norfolk and opted for dinner at Gershwin's on Granby Street…read more Gershwin's continues to deliver a polished dining experience, pairing New Orleans-inspired cuisine with attentive, professional service. It's the kind of establishment that understands both execution and consistency--two qualities that are increasingly rare and always appreciated. The shrimp and grits remains a signature highlight. The Creole sauce offers a restrained heat, balanced by a layered depth of flavor that speaks to careful preparation rather than excess. The shrimp are properly cooked, retaining a delicate snap, while the stone-ground grits provide a well-seasoned, creamy foundation. Each component is thoughtfully prepared, and together they form a cohesive dish that feels both composed and satisfying--an authentic nod to Cajun tradition without unnecessary embellishment. Gershwin's stands as a reliable fixture in the downtown dining scene. For those seeking a refined take on Southern and New Orleans classics, it is well worth the visit--and a strong example of the quality found within Norfolk's local restaurant community.

It would be zero stars if possible. And I can honestly say that I've eaten in restaurants across…read morethe world and the US, at many different price points and this was hands down the worst culinary experience of my life. If this restaurant was in an area that was even moderately competitive they would have been put out of business. The bar seems adequate but it was almost like they stopped serving food and forgot to tell anyone. I swear I'm not making this up, this actually happened: 1) it took over 2.5 hours for the entrees to come out. One came out so early that by the time the second set came out they were already done. 2) The only appetizer that was ordered that actually came out, arrived after the entree was done. 3) One person's order had to be changed 5x because the waiter kept coming back to say they're out. When his pork chop finally arrived, it was undercooked and not eatable. 4) Nothing was offered in any way as a comp, nor any real apology If you go, be wary. There is no way they were this thoroughly incompetent in every single aspect of the food services industry without practice.

Spent just shy of $400 on 2 people in their "speak easy"…read more They add an 18% gratuity, on every check; and won't serve you until they make this clear. That alone: is a turnoff to me. I tip above 20% 95% of the time. The food was average at best. Temperature was off on both entries. Taste was nothing special. We only had 2 mixed drinks, and 2 glasses of wine. The 1st dirty martini was made with vermouth after I specifically said no vermouth. I was billed for both. Neither martini was topped off. Both were 1-1.5 inches from the top. Wine was fine. The service was ok. Not great. The table settings are bland, and could be found in a Dennys restaurant. After a below average dining experience; I was a bit surprised with a $375 bill. Suppose I should have paid more attention to the prices for side dishes and deserts. Adding insult to injury: I somehow left my Amex behind at the table. First time in my life. Then the fun began. My wife and I called the restaurant and had to leave messages 5 times between us, to confirm they had the card and to arrange a pickup. Not one call back: in 5 calls!!! Finally ordered a new card. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away from these lazy people.

They have a giant mimosa tower too if you're up for drinking If you come at around 11 on a Saturday or Sunday then you might have to wait 20-30 minutes and service might be a little slow then. But if you come around 10 then you'll get seated right away and service will be relatively quick

Date of Visit: Sunday, March 8 | Time: ~9:00 AM…read more If you want to see a masterclass in multitasking, you need to visit this spot on a Sunday morning. When I walked in, the vibe was relaxing with the good music playing--just three tables and one person at the bar--but that didn't last long. Within ten minutes, five more parties dropped in, and the place went from zero to sixty real quick. The Service: A One-Woman Show I have to give a massive shout-out to Casey. For the first hour, she was "The House." She was greeting everyone, tending bar, taking every order, and running food. Even as the crowd swelled, she stayed on top of it. She got my drinks out fast, and while there was a wait for the food, it was totally reasonable considering she was flying solo until backup arrived an hour and a half later. The Food: Seafood & Southern Staples The kitchen is run by a single cook who clearly knows their way around a fryer. Even with a mountain of large DoorDash orders stacking up, my meal arrived hot and fresh about 20 minutes after ordering. The Main Event: Egg, Catfish, Shrimp & Grits with Texas Toast The Seafood: The catfish and shrimp were fried to perfection. Those shrimp are truly colossal and packed with flavor. My only minor gripe was that both were a bit on the greasy side, but the taste was spot on. The Sides: The soft scrambled eggs with cheese were a little too soft for my personal preference, but still tasty. The grits were standard, and the Texas toast was exactly what it should be: perfectly toasted and buttery. The Drink: I ordered the 50/50 tea. It came in a 12-oz plastic mason jar and hit the sweet spot--refreshing without being overly sweet. The Bottom Line Be prepared for the "fine print" on the bill. There is a 16% automatic gratuity and a credit card service fee. My total came to $41.33. Tea: 2.99,2 egg & Catfish:16.99, add cheese:.99 and side of fried shrimp: 9.99, service fee: 1.24, 16% gratuity: 4.95, and tax: 4.18 Honestly, even with the auto-gratuity, I had to slide Casey some extra cash. Watching her manage a sudden rush while keeping the wheels from falling off was impressive. If you go, expect a bit of a wait if it's busy, but know that the staff is working their tails off to get you a solid, hot meal.

The crab cakes were cooked perfectly had a lot of crab meat. Most of the tables got steak and they were all cooked to each persons desired level.

Service was amazing our server was very sweet and accommodating. The restaurant was not too crowded on Saturday night. The restaurant is connected to the mall but there is no entrance through the mall. You have to walk outside.

We were dining before a 8pm show at Chrysler Hall so did not have options and make our play on time. The food did come out hot and delicious. Lambchops had way too much glaze,almost to hide something.... Brothers announced the closure sometime about 2 weeks ago which makes me wonder if it is a long time coming.
