    The fireplace in The Hunt Room
    Bob R.

    After dinner tonight, we decided to visit The Hunt Room, tucked inside the beautiful Old Cavalier Hotel at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Stepping inside feels like taking a step back in time. The Hunt Room is rich with history and timeless charm. One of the enduring local legends is that President Nixon burned some of the Watergate evidence in the massive stone fireplace. Whether the story is true or simply part of the hotel's lore, it certainly adds another layer of intrigue to an already remarkable setting. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of their guests. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and ensure you'll want to return. If you're an Old Fashioned fan, don't miss theirs. It's made with whiskey distilled on-site at the hotel's distillery, and it was one of the best I've had in quite some time. Whether you're looking for a quiet evening, a handcrafted cocktail, or simply a chance to soak in a little Virginia Beach history, The Hunt Room is well worth a visit. If you've never been, you're in for a memorable experience.

    We took our friends here for dinner on their recommendation. The place has a really cool vibe to it. Down in the basement of the hotel with a distillery in the area. Our waiter throughout the meal did a great job of taking care of us. Did not hurry us and let us take our time enjoying ourselves. After cocktails we ordered the Brussels Sprouts along with six fried shrimp to share. Both were very good. The seafood special that night was halibut. Two got that blackened that came with rice and succotash. I got the pork ribeye which came with asparagus and flash fried red potatoes. The pork was moist and tender. I really enjoyed the dish. For dessert we split a piece of bourbon glazed cheesecake. We wanted to finish with espresso martinis but the did not have anything to make the espresso. Special dining experience.

    The atmosphere was great, the drinks were tasty, and the food was good. This is a valet-only parking service, which took some time to retrieve my car. Maybe we all decided to leave at the same time, but it wasn't ideal. The staff was pleasant, and we enjoyed our experience overall.

    Filet done Pittsburgh style. Smoked Old Fashion in the background.

    Food is always great here, so are the old fashions! Get yourself a neat pour of the in-house bourbons! Nice atmosphere as well, staff is always friendly even when it is busy which is often. Walk-ins are fine, but you roll the dice recommend reservations.

    Great service. Angelina, I believe that was our sever's name, was amazing. We were seated just before Happy Hour ended. Our server quickly took our food order, suggested adult beverages, and was very attentive The Humt Room was packed, even so we were not rushed, and were able to enjoy great food in. A bustling yet relaxing atmosphere.

    Venison

    We went to the Hunt Room yesterday and had an amazing experience. It is dark and moody in there but also kid friendly. I stepped out on the edge and got Venison. It was 10/10 all around. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I were staying at the Cavalier Resort and wanted to try this place as our anniversary dinner - highly recommend making reservations. The interior looked interesting and it started "popping" around 6PM. Our server was fantastic. On point with checking in on us and being so friendly. For starters we decided on the Truffle Fried Poutine - Black Pepper Gravy, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Fried Pungo Farm Egg. It was very tasty and most likely better to share with a group of people - it was a lot. For the main course, my husband got the Pan Roasted Venison Loin (Pan Roasted Venison Loin, Garlic and Herb Whipped Potatoes, Roasted Broccolini, Green Peppercorn Demi-Glace) and I choose the Roast Duck (Half Roast Duck, Sweet Potato Puree, Wilted Beet Greens, "Old Fashion" Demi-Glace). Wow, the presentation is definition there. I have to admit that we both really enjoyed the Venison - they did that perfectly and the flavor was just amazing. Highly recommend that dish! We didn't have any room for desserts but we did also a few cocktails. Overall, fun night, delicious food, and friendly/fun staffs. Thanks!

    Can you tell we liked it? You can't go wrong with the quail and venison. Can't wait to have my  leftovers tomorrow!

    The food is amazing and love the decor. Last visit was for my birthday. We'll be back again soon!

    Classic Reuben (corned beef bacon)

    This is located in the stunning and historic Cavalier Hotel. Visit was on 3/16/26. Service was very good! The atmosphere was like a dark mix of your grandfathers and his hip grandsons hangout. If you aren't into hunting I suggest you don't dine here. There are animal taxidermy through out the dinning room and tavern. Overstuffed leather sofas around a huge wood burning fireplace. We are visiting the area and it peaked our interest. We did have reservations, although it wasn't busy enough that it was needed although it could be at times. There were a few larger parties and it was rather loud. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, (6 half shell/$18) baked with bacon and a creamy spinach filling with cheese sealing the deal. A bit on the overdone side with a very crunchy topping. Good flavor. I also tried the wedge with candied bacon and tomatoes and a delicious smoked blue cheese dressing. I chose the Braised Short Rib French Dip handheld with truffle fries and au jus for dipping. Although great tasting, I felt it was a bit on the skimpy side portion wise for the price ($25). My dining companion opted for the Filet and was happy with that and the accompanying sides. We took a Reuben sandwich to go and it was disappointing, very fatty like a corned beef "bacon". I was expecting much better flavor as they prepare in house. There is also a parking fee of $7 which is valet service. Beautiful hotel.

    It was my first visit here and I was really looking forward to it because I heard such good things about it. It's located in the basement of the historic Cavalier Hotel which is absolutely gorgeous. Valet parking and they charge you $7 and if you pay through the app, it's additional $1.25 service charge. Like they aren't charging you enough for the food, now you have to pay for parking too. Let's not forget the tip for the valet guy too (deserved). The atmosphere is like a man's cave. Dark and like the name, "hunt" decorated. When you enter there are overstuffed leather sofas in front of a fireplace. Tons of photos of animals as well as taxidermy animals. Everything relating to hunting. The place was rather loud with a few large parties. To the point that my guest and I couldn't even hear each other. Once they left, it was nice and quiet, unfortunately, we were about to leave as well. I was told it's best to make a reservation, so I did through open table but I don't think it was needed at the time of our off-peak visit (3.16.2026). Service was great. The waiter kept returning to see if we needed anything and how the food was. It was our first time trying the Oysters Rockefeller ($18 for 6) which is Half Shell Oysters stuffed with a creamy spinach and applewood smoked bacon which were good. At this time, I had nothing to compare them to, but 2 days later, I had them at The Atlantic on Pacific and those were SO MUCH BETTER! A lot cheaper too during happy hour. I had the Filet Mignon ($49) - Garlic and Herb whipped Potatoes, Roasted Broccolini, Tarnished Truth Steak Sauce and Sauteed Mushrooms (I'm allergic to Mushrooms so I had them on the side for my guest to enjoy them). Very good meal. The Tarnished Truth Steak Sauce is so yummy, I could drink it. Complimented the Filet Mignon and the potatoes so well. The broccolini was also delicious. For dessert I got the Smore's Brownie ($10). It was more like a chocolate cake with marshmallow, Caramel and Chocolate Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream. It was not worth the money or the calories. Pretty tasteless. You need walnuts in a Brownie or it's just chocolate cake. I had gotten a Reuben sandwich ($18) to go and it was very fatty like bacon. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money because more than half of it went in the garbage due to it being so fatty. I felt the place was rather pricey and if you are just dining there, I do feel the valet parking should be free or reimbursed by the restaurant (i.e. take the charge off the bill). I think you can find some more reasonable places and better food nearby.

    Large drink menu, to include non whiskey and bourbon drinks. The food was really good. Service is always a little slower here, but I think that just comes with the atmosphere. Nothing takes forever to come out, you can tell they take the time to make your food and drinks correctly.

    Duck & French dip.
    Miles H.

    My wife got the braised short rib French dip and I got the duck. So delicious! Great atmosphere with friendly, professional staff.

    George S.

    Great setting a real hunt club feel! The decorations were awesome. Ordered a pork chop with a bourbon glaze. Had a bourbon old fashion and a mezcal old fashion both well done! Our server was Miranda who was wonderful. She gave great recommendations and helpful for sure. I would eat here again.

    Rockefellers!

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.

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!
