    Steak frites
    Ara A.

    2nd visit here, this time we all ordered handheld for lunch. My son liked the whiskey burger and I had the same. Hubby had the fried hot chicken with the sauce on the side. The sauce is actually spicy so definitely considered that's. We had good and fast service for a Friday lunch time so that was good. Solid lunch option.

    The tuna burger with sweet potato fries were delicious! The tuna burger was nicely seasoned and cooked. The sweet potato fries were perfectly done too, not too crispy and not too soft, yum! I went here because I was in the area for a Yelp event. Someone familiar with the area recommended The Whiskey Kitchen. Apparently they have a cool happy hour. From the outside I was worried I was underdressed so I decided to order dinner to go. But once in there I realized it's fancy but super chill vibes inside. Staff were so so sweet! Parking is easy. Place is huge. I'd go back if I'm in the area . It was an overall yummy dinner and relaxed atmosphere and experience.

    There is a reason why we are regulars here. Sure the vibe, great food, drinks etc but there are times when things get mixed up. Wrong order, food is slightly off or whatever it may be. We had a tiny slip tonight, but the way it was handled, the grace and desire to make it right...made it even more solidified. We really appreciate the hospitality and approach taken, even with something small. Thank you for being great!

    Stopped in with my family for lunch. Nice looking place on the inside with several lunch options. I thought the food was OK. The burger was very bland and overall, everyone just said it was OK. I did get to try funnel cake fries, where were pretty tasty! Would I go back? I'm honestly not sure.

    Food, service, ambiance were all great! Man's Best Friend drink was yummy! We all enjoyed our meals! 3 of us got the Chimichurri steak and it was very good! Tuna burger, chili, Margherita pizza, Citrus Salmon all good! But Steak Frites wasn't the best. Everything else though, perfect!

    It was my second time at this restaurant, the first visit we were about 20 people. With a party that big the service was pretty good the food arrived fast the servers were attentive so that was great. The food was pretty good everyone really enjoyed what they had. I agreed to check out a second time with some friends to see how the service would change from a 20 person party to a 3. The server was prompt with the drinks, we offered three different dishes and asked if they could all be split because we were all going to share they did just that the food was really good. The place had a lot natural lighting so if you're looking for dim this is not the place but they do have booth's, I like booths. Overall good experience will be back especially for that Rockefeller chicken sandwich and spicy ranch.

    My daughter and I came here on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. They were not busy so we scored a nice booth immediately. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. This was both our first time so we needed more time figuring out what we wanted. She ordered the cauliflower bites appetizer and the beet salad. She was happy with both. I opted for the veggie pizza with cauliflower crust. It was delicious! Everything was great here. The service was great. The decor was appealing and welcoming. The food was very tasty. They even have mocktails. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu.

    I first visited Blue Seafood & Spirits over 10 years ago when they were brand new for a Yelp Elite…read moreTasting Event, and this was my first time back for a full meal. I had high expectations, and somehow they still exceeded them. They're the highest rated seafood restaurant in the Virginia Beach area on Yelp, and for good reason. There was even a small wait on a Wednesday night, which honestly told me everything I needed to know before we even sat down. Our server, Jenny, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and always seemed to show up right when we needed something. The head chef also stopped by our table and was incredibly kind and genuinely invested in making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. That level of hospitality really made the experience feel special. The meal started with a complimentary amuse-bouche of roasted golden beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and balsamic. It was a classy little bite that got the evening off to a great start. Then came the sweet potato biscuits with apricot jam...listen, I could've eaten an entire basket of those and been perfectly happy. For my entrée, I ordered the crab cakes with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. These are the kind of crab cakes people are looking for. They were packed with lump crab, full of flavor, and had virtually no filler. Every bite was delicious. From start to finish, everything was on point. Great food, genuine hospitality, and a team that clearly cares about what they're serving. It took me over a decade to make it back, but I can promise it won't be another ten years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

We got there a little earlier in the evening, arriving around 5:30PM on a Tuesday night and the place was packed! We were still able to score a seat along the windows overlooking the creek. This entire place was so busy and there was so many staff too - Hard to believe from looking at the small ranch of a house that the restaurant is housed in. Lots of families here too. Their menu is quite nice with many options. We started with their blackened tuna bites, which came out as a big blackened tuna steak that had slices in it, but was still "assembled" on the plate. The wasabi dipping sauce it came with was outstanding and so very spicy! The tuna itself didn't look very appealing at all, but WOW, the flavor was great! And when dipped into the wasabi sauce, the combo of both was so good! Out entrées were the imperial mahi - which I asked for them to blacken my mahi. This dish is basically a mahi filet with a crab cake on top and then the entire thing is smothered in the she crab soup - it was so very flavorful! The she crab soup was really good by itself, but the crab cake mixed with it tasted great! The blackened mahi was really tasty too. I tried their broccoli as a side and had very low expectations for it, but WOW, that broccoli was outstanding! So fresh and flavorful! Don't like the looks of the place fool you, the service is on point and the food is amazing! This place is doing it right!!

She made sure we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions without hesitation. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the experience.
