    Ceviche
    Vicky V.

    Went there for a birthday dinner with friends. Ambiance: Very modern and aesthetically pleasing. It is a little dim but you can still see your food. They play music in the club area so people can dance too Service: The chef brought us complimentary tostadas which was very nice. Our waitress was great. She was attentive and quick. No complaints. Cocktails: The cocktails that were chosen were the blackberry smash, chilcano, and tequila new fashion. All was a hit Food: My favorite app was the ceviche. However, my friends enjoyed the brussel sprouts and esquites more so. For the food, I got the chicken tinga. Flavor was great and the goat cheese paired well with the chipotle sauce. However, it was pretty dry. I think they should try using chicken thighs next time. My other friends got the short rib burrito and ribeye. They both enjoyed their food

    Double Smash Burger
    Sara C.

    Quemar has been on my list for a while since it's right down the street from my office, but since they aren't open for lunch, I never got around to trying it until recently. My husband, best friend, and I went during happy hour, and I was impressed by how many items were on the menu. We started with the chips and guac (even my guac-hating husband liked it!) and the wings with the server's recommendation of blueberry BBQ sauce. It sounds unusual, but it was SO good. They only have chipotle blue cheese for dipping, and as someone who isn't a big blue cheese fan, I was surprised by how much I liked it. All three of us ordered the smashburger and fries from the happy hour menu for $12. This was a true smashburger with thin patties with crispy edges, not the thicker burgers a lot of places try to pass off as one. I've been thinking about it ever since. I'll definitely be back, especially since happy hour is extended until 7 p.m. on Thursdays. Next time, I want more wings and to try the tacos. Great atmosphere for a date night or girls' night out!

    Carne asada tacos

    There is valet parking but not needed for a Wednesday night as there weren't many people there. Overall, I'd probably rate it a 3. The place looks good for a date night but food wasn't anything special for me to come back so I probably won't try this place out again. Carne asada tacos were ok. It came with 3 tacos à la cart, corn tortillas were super dry & overall was lacking flavor. Definitely need some lime and salsa to make it taste better. Fire grilled wings are on their Wednesday special, they were also ok. Ordered rice, beans & chips on the side and those were also just ok. Didn't care for the rice to be honest. Both could've used some salt.

    Second time here. The atmosphere is super loud and fun. They have a DJ in the bar area at some point in the evening. The staff were great. Our server Toni sang my son a B-Day song for his 21st! The food was amazing. I actually filled up on all the apps and couldn't finish my steak. Tonight perhaps! Enjoy!

    The ambience and vibes were great, we loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was good, lots of flavor which we appreciated. However, nothing came out hot, all of our food was lukewarm. We had ordered an appetizer that sadly didn't come, but was taken off the bill. I think the burrito should have came with a side, or chips and salsa should come to the table to start. Definitely needed a little side. I think this place would be fun with a big group! Again, the vibes are a 5/5. Food is a 3/5. All of the drinks looked great!

    I love this place. We have been here numerous times, me and my friend's favorite spots to eat. We went for there Dias de los muertos Party, it was perfect . The seating was a little off especially because I had a reservation. The Manager is awesome he always tries to accommodate us. One of my go to dishes here , the short rib burrito !!!! We tried the loaded yuca , this was also pretty good. I also tried their Halloween inspired drinks, The Green Lantern. Perfect balance of sweet and sour. The Cadillac margarita is also a nice choice. The staff is very welcoming and awesome to work with. They always have the best party events, so check them out if you haven't yet. A plus is that they have complimentary valet thurs - sat.

    Yuca

    Our server Toni was nice and welcoming. She made sure we were taken care of, it was a party of 10+. The loaded yuca was the best for a starter. My fave was the rib eye burrito. The serving was big I couldn't finish it all! It was sooo tasty! Can't wait to come back

    The fish.

    Went here tonight for my wife's birthday as she really wanted to try it. Valet was nice although I'm not sure it was necessary on a Wed night. We went in and were seated and after about 20 min of waiting I had to ask the door person if we could have a server to which she responded, "oh". Hit some buttons and then we got a waiter a few min later. Appetizers were very good, but the main courses varied wildly. My filet was overcooked the mashed potatoes were very bland. My wife liked the fish she got. When we were done, our waiter grabbed some plates and a fork fell almost hitting my son. He apologized and then picked up another plate and dropped a butter knife on him staining his shirt. They did comp an appetizer for the wait without me saying anything. Maybe it was just an off night but I doubt I will go back with so many other choices in the area.

    Love the vibes here. It gives off simple date night, but intimate. Catching up with old friends, and classy. Winding down for happy hour, but a for sure spot. The waitress was nice and friendly. Food came fast.

    Quemar is an Upscale, Fine Dining Cocina. Great Ambiance and decor. Nice lounge area. Plan to come and enjoy good food, company, and entertainment. Ibhad the oysters. They were fresh as if they were just harvested from the ocean. The fish tacos were very tasty. The ARRACHERA (BEEF SKIRT) were over the top. Nice flavors with the medium-rare cook i requested. Host and servers were great. Quemar is not just god food and time, it is truly a Vibe. You want to check this place out if you are in the area.

    Private event in the "Tranquilo Lounge" (right side of establishment). Cozy, spacious spot for group of 30 people to chill and converse over apps and very good artisan adult bevs from the bar in that space. My Estilo viejo was an innovative take on a Smokey old fashion (5/5 stars). It was rivaled in overall quality and experience by the Puesta del sol, like a sweet spicy strawberry/jalepeno margarita. I heard the tacos were good -- they were gone as soon as they dropped -- but I can attest the wings were large, juicy, and flavorful. A few HDTVs were showing ESPN channels which was cool.

    My husband and I tried Quemar (finally!) and man this place did not disappoint. The atmosphere was super elegant and I felt slightly underdressed when I walked in lol, the environment was kind of fancy and nice. I would wear a little nicer than casual clothes. They also only do valet parking so keep some cash on you as well. Our service was amazing, our server was very attentive to details like our allergies and accommodations. She was super bubbly and checked on us often but not too overbearing. Our food was sooo good I definitely am already planning my return lol. We started with the Salsa Roja and I don't like spicy too much so this level was perfect for me. Surprisingly didn't cause acid reflux which is typical for me haha. The Esquites was really good! I kind of wish it came with chips, I enjoyed it with chips but it was good by itself too. I wasn't able to try the guacamole with tuna or the yuca fries but my friends said it was delicious. I myself tried the fish tacos and they were one of my favorite fish tacos! I tried some of my husbands steak and man, the steak was great but the chimichurri was the star! It was so refreshing and packed with flavor. The smell is what actually made me take a bite off his plate! I'd honestly go back just for that lol! We ended the night with the Peruvian Chocolate Cake and it was the perfectly balanced dessert. I also had a bite of the Nutella cheesecake and the ice cream and that was scrumptious as well. All in all I'd love to go back and try everything else because nothing I had disappointed and exceeded my expectations!

    I came to Quemar with some girlfriends for a birthday dinner over the weekend, and it was fantastic. When you walk in, it's such a vibe. To the right there is a separate bar area, which later on had a DJ. The restaurant is so spacious, with a large bar and plenty of seating for large parties. We all started with a some cocktails. A few of us went for the cold brew martini, one got a strawberry margarita and another friend had the Paloma. I loved that the espresso martini wasn't creamy! 9/10. Majority of their menu is small plates and tapas, which is honestly great when it's a large group of girls who are indecisive! We ordered the chips and salsa with the salsa roja (not too mild, not too spicy). From there, we ordered the charred Brussels sprouts that are topped with ancho sweet potato purée, maple-dijon vinaigrette, pepitas and goat cheese. SO good. Highly recommend if you are a fan of Brussels. We then ordered some oysters, which were served with lime and a cilantro oil. I'm not a huge oyster fan, but the girls enjoyed. Now for my favorite - the fish tacos. They are topped with burnt orange & chile slaw, baja sauce and salsa roja. There's a little kick to them but they were phenomenal. A close second was the carne asada tacos, topped with ancho-coffee rub, chile crema, avocado-cucumber relish and pickled onions. Quemar definitely is a spot for flavor. Every bite of every dish was so flavorful, it would be hard to find something you don't enjoy. The service was 10/10. Any questions we had were asked which such detail. I look forward to returning!

The only way to get in is on special occasions so inquire within or on the Sly Fox website. The staff were so wonderful and kind really catering to our every need. We started with Infused water and mimosas. The Raspberry mimosa was sweet and bubbly with the perfect amount of raspberry sorbet. The food was beautifully displayed in a buffet style. Such a great variety. Fresh fruit of all kinds, french toast, waffles and chicken, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage , scrabbled eggs, quiche, house potatoes, deviled eggs, and a charcuterie board . On the sweet side they had mini cinnamon rolls, danish, brownies, cookies and cupcakes with the galentine theme. They had chocolate and chocolate covered strawberries with pretty pink food grade glitter. Plenty to choose from and plenty to eat. We loved it. In order to get into the speakeasy it is tickets only. We are looking on their website for the special events. Can't wait to see what they do for another event style. This time is was a Galentine Brunch.

Access to the speakeasy is limited only through events held by the facility or booking private events. It's available for rental for company holiday parties, wedding receptions, engagement parties, birthdays, graduations, bridal showers, baby showers.. the opportunities seem endless! Who knows, maybe even a place to hold a small continuing education conference?? We attended the Galentine's Day brunch buffet. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time either in person or over the phone. It is a cozy, comfy space to dine and have drinks in a relaxed classy beautifully decorated establishment. The interior design emanates speakeasy. Every detail of design was carefully curated with the utmost intention. Staff was fantastic. Even though it was a brunch buffet, staff were attentive, friendly and frequently checked on all tables to address any needs or questions. The lovely staff were genuinely happy to take photos for us without any prompting. The flow of the buffet was perfect, and the food presentation was delightfully charming! There was a photo back drop available and the decor was so festive, and classy yet simple. The decor wasn't over the top , it was just the right amount of decorations to add pizzazz and celebrate with festive spirit. We all had a very enjoyable time celebrating Galentine's day! It was a wonderful event in an equally wonderful space. The music was on point, as well as the volume level. It was loud enough to enjoy the music, yet low enough that you could hold a conversation without screaming to hear each other. It was very peaceful and even if you don't choose a booth, the tables on the opposite side of the bar do provide some privacy due to the small partitions. The variety of food offered was just right (not overwhelmingly too many options and not too little options) and the food was tasty. It was an excellent first impression that left me excited to await what other fun events they will hold in the future.

    It was my wife's birthday, so we've wanted to try Heirloom for her celebration. I worked my way…read morethrough college as a waiter / bartender, so I notice things the average diner won't. Heirloom is a well-run establishment. When you see every employee completing tasks with every movement and the owner bussing tables plus talking with patrons, this is a service-oriented business. For my wife's birthday, the service was indeed excellent. The atmosphere is Southern chic. I caution you, don't try a Saturday Evening reservation by calling Friday night. Call early in the week to ensure a Saturday feast. Heirloom sources as much of its ingredients as possible from local farmers and fishermen. It was Happy Hour so I asked what was the "bar bourbon"? Our waitress, Candice, knew exactly what I meant and told me, Evan Williams. An Old Fashion made with Evan Williams for 8 bucks, Yes Ma'am to that. My wife enjoyed a glass of crisp pinot grigio with her meal. Candice service was impeccable the entire experience. We started with Crispy Mushrooms appetizer - awesome. Our entrees were very generous portions. My wife ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, two large cakes with crispy squash fritters and succotash for the sides, old bay remoulade on the side for the crab cakes. Nothing but crab with very little binder. She loved the entire meal. I enjoyed the Honey Glazed Bone-In Pork Chop with bbq beans and potato salad for sides. The beans needed work, but the potato salad was excellent with big chucks of potato. The pork chop was star though. A huge two-bone affair grilled to perfection. I had to cut it in half and take one half home it was so large. Magnificent. We finished celebrating her birthday by sharing the S'mores Tart for dessert. Graham cracker crust with chocolate ganache layered on top, crowned with sea salt. A toasted marshmallow cream on the side with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. She was delighted. It was not overwhelming sweet. Fabulous with two cups of decaf coffee to finish. My wife enjoyed the whole experience and definitely wants to come back. She believes Heirloom was the best dining delight we've had in Virginia Beach. I certainly agree.

    Heirloom is one of the 757s shining gems of restaurants. You get a fine dining style meal and…read moreservice, but in a mostly casual setting. The servers and staff are observant and focused on small details that really set Heirloom apart. I especially love the part of the dining room filled with lush hanging plants. We visit several times a year and are always impressed by the quality. We always order the She Crab soup and a Wedge Salad as appetizers to share. They are both so good, I'd probably request them as my last meal! The She Crab soup is absolute perfection, creamy and full of lump crab. I will not order She Crab soup anywhere else after trying theirs. The wedge has pickled onions, candied bacon, blue cheese and some kind of marinated or pickled tomato. Paired all together to make the perfect bite. We have tried a lot of the menu, it does rotate around seasonally, but there are some items that are consistent. The burger was absolutely decadent but not overwhelming. I usually order the "secret", not so secret Shrimp dinner that's not on the menu anymore. You get 6 of their amazing fried shrimp, a magical dipping sauce (cant' describe it!), and 2 sides. (see what's their seasonal sides!) Heirloom will remain one of our favorite places in the 757 to celebrate special occasions!
