I am very disappointed with the service and food I received tonight at Venture…read more I ordered the pizza special of the day, and it was completely unacceptable. It was mostly bread with very little topping, and it did not resemble what I expected based on the description. What made the experience even more disappointing was seeing another customer receive a beautiful pizza that looked properly prepared. The difference in quality was striking. Because the pizza I received was so poorly made, I asked not to be charged for it. I don't enjoy complaining, but I felt this situation warranted it. I hope you will look into what happened and ensure that all customers receive the same quality and consistency.

I met some friends who had come in from out of town here. We made reservations, and am glad we did…read more The inside is quite tight on space, so I'd recommend the same if you're planning a night out. The vibe is warm and welcoming though. 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. Circa 1918 is a bit of a trip for us, but I'm sure we will be back and I'd recommend this place to anyone in the Newport News area.

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!

I stumbled upon this restaurant with a lounge next to it. I dropped in for a drink so that I could listen to the awesome band. (I believe they're called the Fellas).

Found this place while visiting our son and glad we have a new spot to go to when we come back…read more Parking was pretty easy early Saturday evening. Not sure how to describe the vibe- clean modern feel with a touch of cozy here and there - like the sofa when u first walk in. Pros: Cool sofa for waiting on a table or maybe cocktails? Krista was our server and she was delightful. Friendly and helpful - let us know her favorites and got our order in quickly since we couldn't take too long. Nice cocktail selection and even better range for apps and mains. Loved the ahi tuna flatbread!! Our favorite of the apps. Could have ordered for dinner and left very happy since it cost less too lol. Seared scallops were delicious- the sauce and fresh corn were amazing. Shrimp and grits had an impressive depth of flavor and the spinach and tomatoes were a unique addition. The black bass was also very good. Cons Prices on the higher side even for a fancy restaurant in Richmond. Didn't love the complimentary bread and butter: I appreciated trying to make the butter something unique- going for savory and sweet the white chocolate and herbs but the white chocolate didn't really work for us as an ingredient. Felt like the bread should've been crusty for butter like this and not the soft rolls they served. Didn't care for the pork belly appetizer. Instead of being crispy, it was just tough.

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by Pour Girls on a Saturday around 6pm. When we walked in, it…read morewas pretty packed so we stood at the front, waiting for someone to greet us. After a couple minutes, no one greeted us so I had to literally find someone to seat us. After I walked over to get someone's attention, a server found us a seat and wiped down the table for us. We were given some time to look over the menu and we decided to start with drinks and appetizers. We ordered the Dolce Vita Margarita, a Whiskey Sour and the Tuna Bites, ordered medium. The drinks were okay and the Tuna Bites were actually pretty good, but unfortunately, some were cooked well done while others were slightly medium rare. For our entrees, we chose the Crab Cake Dinner with Girl Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes and the Rasta Pasta. The Rasta Pasta came out first and had great flavor but it was lacking that jerk seasoning taste that you would get from traditional "Rasta Pasta". My sides were then brought out and the Girl Sprouts were great but the Mashed Potatoes definitely needed some salt. I was then served a Crab Cake Sandwich, which I didn't order, so I had to wait another 10 mins for my Crab Cakes, which came out a little burnt. Overall, I wish I can say I had a better experience. We also had to wait quite a while for our server to bring over some waters. She was very nice but just kept forgetting. This spot is very cute and has a nice vibe so it could've just been an off night but I'm not sure if I would return.

This is not the place to order that drink. The bartenders just aren't familiar with making them and the ones that we got had two Ingredients... Jäegermeister and kahlua.

First of all, let me say that Sierra was wonderful. Thank you Sierra…read more Now the food. We were there on a Friday at lunchtime. We ordered almost immediately. 50 minutes later I got my sandwich, and it was luke warm at best. My wife ordered a salad that arrived about 10 minutes later. I've been there countless times in the past and never had an issue. This time may cause me to re-think going back. Saw another table wait even longer for their food. I know it's a dive bar but they always had good food int he past. Really a disappointment this time.

My wife and I recently visited Fin Seafood in Newport News for an early Mother's Day dinner. We…read moreopted for the 7-course tasting menu, and it was a standout experience from start to finish in terms of hospitality. The service was exceptional, the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and timed each course perfectly, allowing us to truly enjoy the evening without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for a much-needed night out. All seven courses were smaller, tapas-sized portions. While the plates were small, they were perfectly timed, and we were surprisingly full by the end of the meal. Here is a breakdown of our journey, ranked in order of our preference: Grilled Octopus - The absolute highlight. This was the best and most flavorful of all the courses. The stew was seasoned so well it left us talking about it throughout the entire evening. Crab Cake - I enjoyed the flavor of these, though the texture was a little softer than I personally prefer. The presentation was a bit lacking--it looked like the cake was just plopped in the center with the puree splashed on the sides--but overall, it was a good dish. (Starter) - It was good, but honestly, I already forgot exactly what it was. It was okay as a starter, but clearly not as memorable as the octopus. Flourless Chocolate Cake - What's not to like? It was a nice, small piece of decadent cake with ice cream on top. A reliable finish. Smokey Salmon - This arrived with a "show," served under a glass dome engulfed in smoke. While the presentation was very cool, the flavor was unfortunately bland; nothing about the taste really stood out. Wagyu Beef - This was the course I was most looking forward to, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. While the meat was a perfect medium-rare, it was quite bland and desperately needed seasoning. Seared Scallops - The scallops were cooked well, though the rest of the dish didn't quite hit the mark for me. Fin Seafood provided a decent night out for a couple who haven't been out together in a while. The staff made us feel incredibly welcome and ensured we enjoyed our early Mother's Day celebration. However, if we return, I'll likely skip the full tasting menu, save some money, and just order that incredible grilled octopus.
