    Oysters casino and rockefeller
    Sam A.

    Such a great little bar, friendly and unpretentious in the heart of the resort area. Great selection of draft beer, and the oysters casino and rockefeller were amazing. This place is a locals' institution and a real fun place to hang out.

    Tony and I was here for his 57th birthday, sitting outside in the enclosed area enjoying people watching. My daughter and her boyfriend was near by getting their pics taken at an Old Time Photo location and we were enjoying the nice weather, a cold beer and soda for me and enjoying the floor shop of tourist walking by on the sidewalk. One drunk couple at 5pm in the day was fighting on the sidewalk. That was amusing until the police arrived. We didn't eat anything here because we just had a big feast at the marina at Rudee Inlet but we enjoyed the dive bar atmosphere, the nice bartender and the few drinks we enjoyed while people watching. Definitely going here again, this is our type of place!!!

    If you're looking for authentic, at the beach seafood, then this is your place. Service was great, and the raw bar was second to none. Very reasonably priced and it filled us up. The only reason for four stars was some very obnoxious patrons that were out on the patio where we were dining. To be fair, this is a bar with a bar vibe, but this one table was over the top obnoxious.

    If you like seafood, especially oysters, this is the spot to eat at in Virginia Beach. The menu is simple, but the food has a lot to offer. For example, the surf side nachos are plentiful and have the perfect amount of cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Plus, you get shredded chicken, shrimp, and bacon. All of the ingredients mix well and taste amazing. Now, the Rockefeller oysters are insanely delicious. I'm not certain what's in their recipe, but it's rich and satisfying. I'm also a huge fan of the raw oysters here. They are large and consistently taste fresh. Additionally, the staff members are extremely nice and quick to serve. The atmosphere is divey, but clean. Overall, you can't go wrong eating here to satisfy your hunger.

    The platter
    Danielle E.

    AMAZING! My boyfriend and I have been on vacation for a week now and have been disappointed by pretty much every meal. We got crab at another restaurant that was more expensive and it seriously sucked. At this place, we ordered the seafood platter and a house salad. We split it, and omg!! It was amazing. Seriously the perfect amount for 2 people at a good price. We spent less than $50 for 2 specialty cocktails, and the two food items. The vibe of the place was a great too. Really amazing staff. Seriously recommend!!!

    We were looking to eat at 21st St. raw bar but they had a 40 minute wait so we meandered down 21st St. and found Seaside and we were so impressed with not only the service but the quick turnaround time and it was so so so tasty. It is a hidden gem

    Outdoor patio, fresh seafood and excellent service. We'll be back for sure!

    Love this place! Walked in and the first two songs over the sound system were Stevie Wonder's Superstition and "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." Staff was engaged and helpful. Jon walked us through the menu and the draft selections. We went with a dozen raw oysters, a dozen Rockefeller, and a dozen Clams Casino. They were all great. Beer selection was broad and mostly local, at least on the drafts. I admit to a bias. I love a good raw bar. But this is a wonderful version.

    This location is right on the boardwalk and where i may not have originally thought that the location was kid friendly, i was sorely mistaken. Mark was amazing with our kids. He didnt need to jot down our order and even gave drink selections that were amazing based on what we liked. I will be telling everyone about this place and how amazing the food and people who work there are!

    I have been delivered to Brazino Heaven!…read more I have been to Costa Brava Spain, Porto and Nazare Portugal (I'm not bragging - it's context), and I just had The Best Branzino I've ever eaten. I had mine pan seared -OMG! Topped with chimichurri and seared vegetable medley w a An African secret sauce in the side - unbelievable. This is what makes Pacifica my fave on the oceanfront (tourists - your welcome). Make the trip to Pacifica Ave and 34 (?), you'll be happy you did. Also try the chocolate blended drink - if you like White Russians and espresso martinis!

    Ambiance: Very pretty and modern. Love the laid back vibes and atmosphere…read more Service: Our waiter was quick and polite. I asked him for a drink recommendation and he was quick and accurate in terms of recommending drinks he thinks I would like Drinks: Pretty good. The Negroni wasn't too bitter and had a good taste to it. I asked the waiter for a drink that was refreshing but not too sweet. He recommended the Lucille which was spot on. Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special. I wish they gave us more bread REPLY TO BUSINESS OWNER: WOW, that was an extremely unprofessional reply. None of the cocktails we ordered were vodka redbull. Thanks for replying and letting me know to never return!

    So I cannot remember the bartenders name. I am told its Ashley, but I do not believe it. Either…read moreway she had a huge personality and the place was like a cheers situation where everyone knew everyone and if they didn't they all talked to you anyway. I personally Did not take pictures because I was told it is scheduled to close and be demolished come the end of the year so I am sad about that. I was there a few years ago and had to seek it out this trip as well. Now the food. The seafood pasta deluxe was worth it. The stuffed mushrooms I would have again. I personally was not a fan of the Rockefeller oysters, the raw oysters were better and I am not a typical fan of raw seafood. But I would do the raw oysters way before the Rockefeller once again my opinion. The drinks had a great balance. Keep hope alive and hopefully their legacy lives on.

    We came here because we saw they had great reviews and we wanted somewhere close to the beach that…read morewe could walk to. When we came in, we were seated immediately and service was very nice. Our waitress, Tina, was very nice and attentive and we were able to order our food right away. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was a little dark and coastal/beach/seafood themed. There were also a lot of flies but I wasn't too turned off because it's the summer and I know flies can sneak in. What did turn me off was that we ordered theraw oyster appetizer and found a hair in one after I ate one. I told Tina and she said the manager took it off our tab. Then I went to eat another one and found another hair. Very disappointed and disgusted. It ruined our meal. We also ordered the shrimp basket where the shrimp were huge but in my opinion lacked flavor but my husband ordered the fried flounder and it was delicious! They also add an automatic 18% gratuity.
