“I am a member of the wine club here. The food is excellent and the wine is awesome ! Tonight the service was top notch! Highly recommend.“

“We stopped in for cocktails today (6 women of a certain age)! The drinks, the service, the atmosphere and overall vibe were outstanding! We had a great time and will return soon! Highly recommend!“

“Ate here Thursday the 10th, food was tasty. The parking was confusing as there were signs all over of the risk of being towed. Asked someone in parking lot how the restaurant is. They stated very rustic but food is good. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Choice of beer on tap was mostly IPAs, not our favorites. Not many Craft beers available. I got the DB Vienna Lager which is always a good fall back when there's nothing else. The IPA my partner had was your typical grapefruity bitter IPA, not good. We ordered a dozen Clams Casino which were made to perfection! And we shared the Blackened Tuna cooked medium served on a roll. Yummy. It came with a little cup of wasabi a little too intense for our taste buds so we asked for tartar sauce instead. This came with a generous amount of Hush Puppies with butter on the side. I have never been offered butter with my Hush Puppies but I will be asking for it this way from now on, delish. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.“

“Great times to be had at this fine establishment.“

“First time here. All the staff greeted with a smile and was so nice. We got the Jerk egg rolls, chicken Philly egg rolls and the parmesan chicken eggrolls to eat some there and take with us. I was a little hesitant to get the Parmesan chicken rolls but I have to say they were my favorite. Oh and we got the Mac and cheese stuffed wings and they were delicious as well. Thanks J & K Styles for a great experience. When ever we’re back in Virginia we will be back.“

“Park Lane on Fordham Drive in Virginia Beach is a great place for drinks, dinner, parties, meeting friends. I have been a frequent patron of Park Lane at this location for a very long time and at least twice a week. I spoke with manager Jim this evening and complimented him on the way the restaurant and bar is run. The restaurant is well kept and attended to. The wait staff and bar tenders are super efficient, well versed with knowledge of the product and food there. They are fast and very efficient, and honestly all of them have great work ethic and have a wonderful sense of humor. They make you feel like a part of their family and are very professional. They really get to know you (especially if you’re a regular customer), and that’s why it’s such a pleasure to frequent the restaurant. We laugh and kid around with each other and the atmosphere really is light, lively, fun and all around pleasurable. The kitchen staff prepare and present the dishes with absolute care and appeal…. and the food is delicious! I haven’t been disappointed once! The orders come out of the kitchen with care and they are very prompt. The analogy that I would say about this particular restaurant is that “it’s a well-oiled machine”, as it’s run with precision, it’s very efficient, and everyone works well with each other, and honestly they all seem so happy! It’s a wonderful place and I recommend it very highly. You won’t be disappointed, and I might add that the prices are very reasonable. Thanks to Jim, Justin and all the managers at this location, and a great BIG thank you to the wait staff, bar tenders, cooks, kitchen staff, janitors, clean up crews for an outstanding job well done! You ALL really go above and beyond expectations and other like establishments should take a lesson from you all. Thank you for your wonderful service and for the friendships that will always be cherished. Thank you again and know you are truly appreciated for your hard work, your loyalty and for taking care of our every wants and needs. You should get the Best Restaurant Award if there’s such a thing!“

“The food is amazing this morning the potatoes were perfect and cooked so well Lorraine and Angelica were amazing made me feel comfortable made sure my food was perfect I recommend anyone to try it The atmosphere is so nice. And the staff is amazing“

“Just had a very delicious brunch after church at Driftwood Kitchen on Pacific Avenue! A convenient bonus is they have a parking lot available which we appreciate! Hubs had the salmon Benedict with hash which he thoroughly enjoyed along with a Spicy Margarita, yum! Today's special was red, white & blue pancakes with a side so l ordered that with homemade hash as my side, probably the best hash l've had! The pancakes were on point with the white chocolate chips & fresh blueberries inside and fresh strawberries on top! I would definitely order the same dish again, perfection! The bloody Mary's & mimosas were $5 & tasty! Our server & bar tender, Kat H. was very helpful & kind! We certainly want to go back! Happy Hour 3-6pm, closed Mondays,on Sundays they close at 3pm.“

“Our first visit was this week! We both enjoyed our meals ..very tasty!! Grabbed a piece of carrot cake to take home…delicious! Will definitely stop back when we come to Virginia Beach again!“

“Olive (Jenna)was the best waitress ! She was awesome ! We got great well timed service with her when we go back we would love to have Olive ! Fantastic service !“

“The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Everything that our party ordered was served fresh and was made in house. The key lime pie and the house pickles are must haves. I highly recommend this hidden gem“

“I Love this restaurant! I'm hoping it stays open many years to come. The food is consistently perfect and the staff always friendly and on point!“

“Let me be “frank” ? The new location of Kevin’s Dog House is really great, and well worth a visit! The light filled space is clean, nicely laid-out and retains the casual Rock n Roll vibe of the previous place, but the main attraction are the delicious dogs! Kevin, Evie, and Matt run a smooth ship, and make you feel like family! ? Can’t wait to return!!“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant. Service, atmosphere and most of the food was very good. We were looking forward to the baked wings but they were quite soggy. When we mentioned it to the bartender, she had cook new wings They were still not enjoyable for us. We Will Definitely frequent this establishment again. The food overall is definitely very good.“

“Came here on Mother’s Day because another restaurants wait was absolutely ridiculous. & I’m glad it was because I found this place!! Everything we had was delicious! My BF loved his French toast combo meal and I LOVED MINE (&I am pretty picky about the taste of my FT)! We will be back!!! The Staff were very nice and we received our food fast. Thank you!“

“Found this establishment when looking for a place to eat after a visit to the botanical gardens. It was also necessary to have a dog friendly place as we had our pooch. We were able to sit outside with our dog and while the seating over looks the parking lot it is comfortably set back from the main road. The food was excellent! I had the fried chicken and french toast (rather decadent with bacon and peanut butter) and my wife had the pork and mac n cheese (they smoke the pork on the premises). Service was very attentive and we never felt rushed even though we arrived an hour before closing. We will be back.“

“Great service! Perfect food! All around awesome experience. I will become a regular.“

“Went here for my Birthday. Party of five. Excellent treatment, Excellent food and atmosphere! Soft crab to die for! Everyone loved what they ordered. Had a great Birthday dinner. Bravo Tempt! Coming back for the soft crab.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time visiting Union Ale House and tried the braised short rib tacos that were suggested by Bry. They were very good and the grilled lime complimented them well. The food was great, as was the service by Bry. Will be back in the near future!“

“great atmosphere, food was really good. I would recommend the poke tuna tacos and the gingerbread stout was very yummy. our server makiah was very nice and did a great job.“

Our food delicious and came out rather quickly inspite of the restaurant being full. We will return! Thank you to your entire staff for making our Saturday morning breakfast wonderful!“

“My wife and I come here often for special occasions! Last night, we celebrated my wife’s birthday. Casey was our server and she was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She consistently checked up on us and made the experience amazing. Of course, a reason to come to the Hunt Room is the atmosphere. So romantic and cozy. Had live music which only added to the experience. Our food and drinks were perfect and my wife said it was the best birthday dinner ever. Thank you to the Hunt Room for making our night out so special.“

Kid-friendliness: Arcade machines in the back. Very fun 🤩

“Great food! Awesome atmosphere. Stopped at this random store and food was amazing.... we all loved it! From the hand cut fries, chicken/steak philly, thick burger, hot dog and even amazing grilled cheese’s! We will be back.“

“Best Greek salad pretty much anywhere on the planet! 😄 They may have better salads on Mars, but I haven’t been there yet.“

“Best shakes ever. The owner is so nice and pleasant every time I go in. Definitely the place to go if you’re in the mood for something healthy“

“A great time, decent food for the price. Only exception to my night out was the crazy patron doing duster in the bathroom. Between karaoke sets she was hassling other patrons about someone named "joshie". She eventually started beefing with security. Would def come out again.“

“Cute spot. I recommend the Heart Attack burger, it's phenomenal - Burger, cheese, egg, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted bun. I also like Uncle Tito's Chicken Sub - chicken, and cheddar, in a buttered toasted sub. Friendly service. Fair pricing.“

“Tina, thank you so much for the awesome shrimp dinner!!! It the best shrimp I've had a very long time. Thank you for going above & beyond to make me & my tummy � I hope you are blessed with nothing but good vibes& good krama�“

“Atmosphere was just about perfect. The front of the restaurant has decorations that obscure the view of the restaurant to anyone that walks in and is standing in the front- they should fix that. The quality of the food was more than acceptable. Prices were fair. Would go again.“

“Absolutely delicious food and drinks!“

“High energy vibe!!! Good Times <3“

“Great food,and service.....Our bartender Judy,was awesome....will definitely be back“

“The service, omg was amazing, I applaud all the servers, spot on!! The food was delicious and portions were big!! The price is sooooo affordable! I will definitely be back!!“

“We have eaten several breakfasts - all have been high quality at very reasonable cost. Great waffles. I am now eating dinner here ordered a bowl of seafood soup and chicken street tacos. The seafood soup was amazing- fresh seafood and spices, cream sauce was rich but not too heavy. Tacos were unexpected treat. Fire roasted corn, flavorful chicken, spices were a tasty j*** with nice heat and tamarind .This restaurant should be crowded. Why eat lousy fast food or overpriced franchised food when you can eat here. It does feel odd to walk into the Crowne Plaza hotel to get there but do it! You will be surprised by friendly attentive staff and great food for very little!“

“Great times in a friendly atmosphere. Daily specials and fantastic food!“

“Good food and GREAT drinks and service, highly recommend! I have the pleasure of having Sydney M. serve me at the bar on my last few visits, she is awesome! Go see her..“

“Terrific food and beverages“

“My husband and I went to Waterman's Surfide last night and we will definitley go back. Food and service were 10+++. Our waitress Dawn was the best. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything. Best seafood restaurant I have ever been to.“

“Really good spicy Bloody Mary!“
