Ribs A+ They were so tender and moist! I liked that they weren't slathered in BBQ sauce, so you could actually taste the meat (so good) I would order these again. Baked Beans. C I wasn't a fan, Maybe too much vinegar? Coleslaw A I really liked it, Tangy and different! I would have this again We had a great waitress. I will be back again! Thanks yall read more

Fabulous at EVERYTHING. Delicious pineapple martini, shrimp and pineapple flatbread was delicious. Bartender, wait staff friendly, cheerful, knowledgeable. Manager, Mark, came over to see how our experience was. He previously came from Ford Colony Club Williamsburg. A must eat dining experience in the Northern Neck. read more

Great find while visiting family! I'm in the area a few times a year and there are only so many restaurants, especially on a Monday before summer. The Office was outstanding in all ways. Service by Tashima (sp?) was warm, thoughtful, and attentive. Food was great with a wide range of options, all delicious. Cocktails and beer/wine selection were much better than I expected. And it's upscale without being stuffy or making anyone feel out of place. We appreciated the extra attention to the birthday girl we celebrated. That was one of several small gestures that we wouldn't have thought to miss, but meant so much. We'll be back next time in town! read more

The food we had was really good - Pow Pow Shrimp, Pecan Pear Gorgonzola Salad and Ahi Tuna. Got the Carrot Cake to go. Good service, cute place, clean and appeared to be well managed. I would recommend. read more

Great service by Tashima! Was able to help us by answering our many questions as this was our first visit. Was able to accommodate a change with the drink I ordered. Will return again just because of the great level of service and friendly staff. The best burger with solid taste to back it up ! French fries here I could have just ate a whole bucket. The salmon BLT was unique and delicious with the onion rings. Both dishes filling and worth the money. Blackberry hopper was refreshing surprise made perfectly. This was a lunch visit and the decor and patio has us soon coming for dinner. read more

This spot is great for lunch and dinner. I find the staff is always so pleasant. I have enjoyed many meals here and recommend it all. The salads are huge, the burgers are delicious and you can go wrong with the specials. read more

Great food , amazing service. Tried this spot out on a whim and was pleasantly surprised.

Pretty place, nicely decorated. E were seated right away. No on e come to the table for about 10 minutes. Husband had Sailor sandwich, and said it was ok. I had pulled pork sandwich. Good quantity of meat, but not a lot of flavor. Bbq sauce on the side was nothing special. And you were served pickled veggies!.... It had two whole cloves of garlic, carrot slices, and cauliflower. Not standard fair. Oh, well. read more

First time here. Fabulous lunch - we had the salmon sandwich and my husband had the burger, both were outstanding. LOVE the fries. The vodka cocktail (can't remember the name) was very good. Service and ambiance were great too. read more

Outstanding food. Staff incredible. Welcoming to non locals. Enjoyed my experience there and would recommend to visitors. If I were to return to The Tides I would dine there, if not once, but every night. read more

Sorry to say but this restaurant was not very hospitable to older folk. We had a 12:15 pm reservation and were shown to a very small table. My husband uses a cane and could not easily sit at the table we were shown. We asked for a larger table but were told there were reservations for all of the other tables? We looked around and every table was empty. We were very disappointed as we have dined here before and have not been treated this way before read more

We've come in 2 or 3 times now. Food is always fantastic and the service is everything you could want. We usually sit at the bar and tonight was excellent as always. We just had appetizers and wine, but got treated like we were having a 7 course feast. The food was great (Flatbread and a spicy shrimp dish) and the bartender (who was also taking care of tables) was attentive and fun. We will be back! read more

Great place for dinner and drinks. It's always Poppin, so make a Rezzy. The chicken strips and the ribs were beyond yummy. Staff is super sweet and accommodating. read more

Delicious fried shrimp and country Cobb salad. Nice addition to Irvington! Loved the key lime pie too.

Very attractive place, but food disappointments. At 7:30 pm, they were already out of the oyster appetizer and the one main course special. The zucchini appetizer was heavily fried. Best item was the spicy shrimp appetizer. With such a cute location and bounty of top local ingredients available, surprisingly average. read more

I've been to The Office 2 Times and will go again. The Food is innovative and delicious. No other restaurant in the area has a menu like this one. The menu fills a spot that no other place in this Tri town area does. I'd call it Modern American. There is something amiss here, though. Trying to pinpoint what it is is tough. It is not fun! The really high greeting desk is off putting and usually has no greeter. The Food is delivered at that same vantage and staff and customers criss cross. The servers are nice enough but not happy. There is no atmosphere other than lunch time. Piano player? Table candles? Art work? Antique side board? Anything to help make an impression to honor the food and to entice evening attendance. read more

Had a wonderful meal and experience at The Office this weekend. The service was excellent and extremely friendly but without being too much in our face. The menu has some great comfort foods that were delicious and, well, comforting! Absolute little gem in an area that doesn't have a lot of upscale options, very much looking forward to our next visit. read more

Went in for pizza night on a Thursday (plus half off bottles of wine) for the first time. We had a great time and the pizza was good. The pizza was a little pricey for $18 but I'll be back to try more of their dishes. The sandwiches I saw go by looks really tasty! The inside and patio has been remodeled and looks really nice! read more

We love The Office Bistro! From the tasty food to the delicious drinks we return often. The patio offers a lovely view of Main Street in Irvington and they have heaters in the winter to help with the chill. The inside still has some nods to the former dental office. Can't miss the toothbrush columns as you walk up. Service is consistent. They offer gluten free options. read more

The Office is a must visit if you're visiting Irvington! It is a former dentist office, which was super fun for my dentist husband. We prefer to dine outside due to Covid and they made it easy with their spacious patio with plenty of heaters. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the Mahi special and my husband loved their famous chicken tenders. Cocktails and Pow Pow Shrimp were awesome as well. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive, despite the fact that she was also taking care of a very large party. Best of all -- I left my beloved Barbour jacket there. They kept it safe until I called on Monday morning and mailed it back to me the same day. I can't say enough good things about the experience and wonderful people who work here. read more

This is a great restaurant! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was great. Prices are reasonable and we loved the screened in porch. Highly recommend and will definitely come back ourselves!! read more

My wife and I had a very nice lunch here. She had the antipasto salad and I had the Beast burger. My burger was nice and 'wet' (juicy burger) and my wife enjoyed her salad. A couple of beers to accompany the food hit the spot, and a shout out to Carolyn, who was very nice. Good experience overall. read more

Have had lunch there and they catered our Thanksgiving dinner and it was awesome. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and dining experience. read more

Stopped by The Office Cafe for a late lunch- it was their first week open, so we just wandered in with no real expectations. Serviced and wait staff were terrific. Very friendly, helpful, and so quick! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We tried the artichoke flatbread to start, and it was fantastic. Delicious, paper thin crust, lightly topped with cheese, artichoke, and a delicious garlic aioli. Three of the four of us got the Country Cobb, topped with crisp fried chicken tenders, corn bread croutons and a really fantastic honey Dijon vinaigrette. Everything was so good, that we decided to take the server's advice and go for the Pow Pow shrimp. Yum. Luckily we all had our entrees, or we might've had to fight over those. So yum, with a touch of creamy heat. Served over a bed of crisp cabbage For a little light crunch. Overall, can't say enough about the food and service. We did find the dedication to the dental office theme a little heavy-handed, and the decor is a little cold/sterile as a result. Not sure how that plays at dinner time. We will definitely be back when we are in the area, though. It is a much needed and delicious stop if you find yourself at "The Rivah." read more

Don't be fooled by the giant toothbrushes, this restaurant is not to be missed. We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night so sat at the bar. Our busy server was friendly and attentive and made sure we had the best dining experience. The rocket flatbread was a great starter with cocktails. Our entrees of beef stroganoff were a delicious comfort food. We will definitely be back and highly recommend read more

Great food and large portions. Pricey but you get a lot of good food. Had the cob salad and split it with my wife. It was enough for us both. My son had the burger and he really enjoyed it except they didn't put the correct toppings on it. Would eat here again. read more

We ate here 3 meals during our 3 night stay in Irvington. It is absolutely delicious, offers something for everyone and the staff is very accommodating. The patio is perfect and shaded for those wanting to stay outside during COVID. Wish we had a location near us in Raleigh! read more

We had an impeccable experience. The restaurant was more than accommodating, I called earlier in the week to secure a reservation for 8, on a weekend night and they were able to find a way to make it happen. 6 adults and 2 children were very satisfied. Our server was so personable and offered great suggestions. Our food was delicious, especially the ribs and tuna entree. The pow pow shrimp is definitely spicy!! But good. The wine was also spot on, a Pinot noir from Williamette valley was recommended and was delicious. I wish I had pictures but we were honestly too content enjoying our meal to get our phones out. read more

The barbeque flatbread was delicious but it was skimpy on the ingredients. The flatbread was more like a cracker. The restaurant is well put together and the service was great. 10$ read more

The flatbreads are awesome, the salads to die for, and the milkshakes? MASSIVE! Would definitely come back!

The Office Bistro is a nice place for date night in Irvington! The cobb salad, pow pow shrimp, and cilantro salmon were all solid dishes. My favorite was the cobb salad, which included their famous chicken tenders. It was very well-dressed and everything was chopped and mixed in. The pow pow shrimp had a kick to it, if you like spicy. The cilantro salmon was a healthy choice. It was good, but could have used a little more flavor or sauce, in my opinion. They also have a nice selection of wines! read more

They made damned sure I won't be eating there again. That angers me because I not only wanted a decent meal, but enjoy giving positive reviews and will sometimes pump a local place a bit extra because I am big on supporting local business and know it's been tough the last year and a half. I arrived about 2:30 pm for lunch and, once one of the frowning waitresses decided to take a break from the coffee klatch at the bar, was seated on the nice, clean deck. It was a pretty, warm day and I was in a jolly mood, though quite hungry. My request for a glass of water was forgotten until, after 10 minutes of waiting, I went back inside to get it from my frowning waitress who had returned to the group of 3 other waitresses shooting the breeze at the bar. I decided to order the half pound angus beef cheeseburger ($15), and then waited, and waited, and waited some more. After a half hour I went back in to disturb the gossiping at the bar to enquire about my sandwich and was told the delay was caused by them being so busy. The place was maybe a third full and most of the people there had been served. I was starving 5 - 10 minutes later when my burger finally arrived. I said, "Oh no" to myself when it was served, top off, to reveal a burger that had been mashed into a mold to squeeze as much flavor out of the meat as possible. So I tried a small bite of just the burger and was it medium rare like I ordered? No. it was well done. How about the flavor? There was none. Also, I've been eating angus beef for 60 years and this was not angus beef. On top of that it was just a few degrees above room temperature. They're charging gourmet burger prices but are serving double quarter pounders. I tried a few of the fries and they were delicious. Sitting there hungry as could be, I thought of just eating the damned thing and being done with it, but couldn't. So I took the plate back inside where the avoid-serving-the-customers social gathering at the bar was and asked to see a manager. They told me there was none - nobody was in charge. One glum waitress asked me what the problem was and walked off about 5 seconds later before I could tell her. Then a different glum waitress stepped up. She offered to redo the sandwich, but really, what's the point? They don't know how to cook a hamburger, they're not serving angus beef they claim to be and I'm well aware of the penchant cooks have for spitting on food that is returned. If I wanted a double quarter pounder, I could get one for half the price in a tenth of the time at the McDonald's in Kilmarnock (ugh!). So for the first time in my life, I told them this was not what I ordered and I was not going to pay for it and then walked out, still starving. My cheerful mood was gone and instead of finding another nice place to eat, I found a restaurant that will get none of my business in the future. And I was still hungry. read more

We had a terrific experience at The Office Bistro. The inside is adorable, but we eat outside when we can and their patio is spacious with plenty of umbrellas for shade. My husband had the miso-glazed salmon, which was very nicely done. I wasn't that hungry so I had an appetizer as my main - the rocket flatbread with shrimp on top. Generous dollops of goat cheese with a tasty balsamic vinegar and figs. My husband's old fashioned was very well made. Our server was friendly and enthusiastic. Enjoyable experience all around. read more

The Powpow chicken appetizer was delicious & the chicken sandwich was the best I've ever had! We go to Tides Inn every year & decided to try a new spot in Irvington! This spot was a great choice. read more

The decor is fine. Outside on the deck is very nice. The food is a little bland. Crispy flatbread covered in balsamic glaze. Sugary salads. Nothing I would describe as savory. Friendly staff. read more

Best salad I've had in a long time! The place is really clean and sharp looking and the staff was extremely friendly and nice. Great menu and our lunch was truly great!! We are coming back for dinner tomorrow night! Glad to have this in Irvington. read more

First visit did not go as I was hoping but certainly will try again at a later date. The Cobb salad was not as described, only received lettuce and couple pieces of chicken. No. Bread, crackers where included . Overpriced at $12. read more

Very cute setting. Staff very friendly. Unique menu offering a range of options. Started with the pow pow oysters. Very tasty sauce but a couple of the oysters didn't taste good....and I was reminded that I don't eat oysters in the summer...cooked or not!!! Do the pow pow shrimp instead. The Crabby Dog was very good....basically a crab cake made into a hot dog and served on a hotdog bum. My wife had the Thai salad which was standard fare. Good wine selection. Bathrooms clean. Nice outdoor dining area as well. read more
