Virginia Beach Restaurants

The clam chowder features 'designer clams', with golden potatoes. My turkey club was a work of art, and the best I've eaten. Such attention to detail that is not often seen are never overlooked here. The ambience is luxurious, Boca-Bermuda style, and the seating is limited, so call ahead for evening meals. Lunch is a great time to sample the quality of the food. I fully recommend that you try this small, hidden jewel for a real treat. They have a full menu that changes from time to time. From wonderful fish entrees to steak, rack of lamb, there is something for everyone. You will be glad I shared this one with you.

Favorite Dish: All, and it will take some time to sample the rest of the menu.

Seto operates the best Chinese restaurant in the city. The place is modest, with limited tables. The service is personable, and fast. Seto will likely come to your table with his usual big smile, and bring you complimentary roast pork or some other delicious dish. His menu is large and varied, and will delight anyone. Shrimp and lobster sauce is one of the best I've tasted. Chow Fun is sumptuous. The simple Chicken Chow mein is one of the best. Triple delight soup is a meal in itself, but it would be a sin to stop there. His Lo Mein is outstanding, Chicken sub gum, you name it. The portions are ample. Go at lunch and you will dine of the same cuisine, for under $4.

Favorite Dish: I've had almost everything on the menu, but, I just love his chicken chow mein. You asked for the favorite. Everything is well prepared and delicious.

Located in the new Central Business District of Virginia Beach, Bravos offers a variety of traditional favorites, as well as newer Bristo cuisine. The decor is lush, and the staff has been instructed that the manager wants to hear complaints that the table was visited too often by the server. Food is prepared to order, with wood burning stoves. Salads are fresh and innovative. My favorite is the Roasted Chicken Chopped salad, with garganzola, pecans, fresh greens. Shrimp diablo is another favorite, with a little kick, as the name implies. The lobster bisque is one of the best in the country (yes, I've had it in Boston, and Wochester). The coffee is satisfying. Desserts to suit anyone. If you can't make up your mind, they will bring a sampler to you that looks like English High Tea. Prices are moderate. Fresh fish is usually on the menu, as well as filet mignon, and pork chops. Great veggies, and the mash potatoes are terrific. I've had nearly everything on the menu, and I would be hard pressed to tell you which one I prefer over the others, as everything is good. For an extra treat, you can tax the chef by asking for 'old school bruchetta'. You will be in for a real treat.

Favorite Dish: If pressed, I would have to say Old School Bruchetta, simply because you will be inundated with shrimp in a creamy tomato sauce, served over toasted bread. As an appetizer, it will serve 4 to 6 people. As a meal, it is hard to beat the pork chop, or the filet mignon. The lasagna is excellent, as the the Pasta Bravo.

Places off of the boardwalk are just better in general. Avoid all buffets on the Atlantic ave area, they are all costco type items and way expensive. For a seafood buffet try Captain Goerge's many people like this place it is $25 p/p at least. A lot of people love Coastal Grill(seafood) it is has the same thing all year round except soft shell crab in season. It is off Great Neck. Tautog's (southern/seafood) is very close to the Oceanfront area but you have to be looking for it it is only open for dinner and in a houselike setting with a big porch. From the boardwalk just turn down 23rd Street and go down a few blocks until you see it on your right it will have a fish sculpture in the front near the side walk and the menu list. La Bella Italia is on Laskin Road there is also Bella Monte very close by and many say they like La Bella Italia better. Aldo's is in the Hilltop shopping center and another very good Italian place. All mentioned are in the $14-25 range for dinner.

Not the best food ever, but is busy year round and the standard and good seafood, and is pretty dependable. They are great to locals and so there are many locals that will be mixed in with tourists in the busy months. They have great specials and include the year round happy hour 35cent wings, oysters, and clams from 3-6pm. And always check the coupon books for discounts for all boardwalk restaurants almost all of them have some sort of discount which you might as well use if you are going there anyway. They also have a sushi bar and Monday nights there is half price sushi which may not be during the busy season, but for sure in the off season.

Favorite Dish: The view.

We traveled alittle back from the beach down Virginia Beach Blvd heading west on Rt 58 towards Norfolk to eat breakfast at this Denny's.

It gives you the "old american" feel inside. We enjoyed this restaurant and the service was great. The ambience was 50's-60's and we liked it.

Also great prices.

Favorite Dish: I had my standard one egg w/bacon and toast. Noel and Tiffany both had smiley face pancakes w/ bacon and link sausage.
They drank sprite and I had unsweetened tea.
We were all very pleased with our breakfast.

This is another of our usual haunts when we go to Virginia Beach. This restaurant is only open from 7am to 2 pm. They only serve breakfast and some lunch. They are not an all day restaurant.

Favorite Dish: I usual get one egg/bacon w/toast. My usual breakfast food. The girls both got pancakes and bacon.
They like the selection of different flavored syrups located in the center of the table. They usually try every flavor once or twice..sometimes more..lol

We really enjoyed dining at Doughboys. Outside the building is bright YELLOW w/ a pirate standing by the door.

Inside it looks like your on the islands. Palm trees and bright colors. Lei's for the girls, and lots of tropical flair.

We enjoyed this restaurant. They played great island music and the wait staff was very friendly.

Favorite Dish: The girls (Noel and Tiffany) had their usual chicken fingers and fries. They served them on paper plates with bright pink frisbees to hold them. The girls got to keep their frisbees. They of course have the doughboy logo on them. Nice little souvenirs.

I had hot wings and celery with blue cheese. Very good. The hot sauce was awesome. I couldn't eat much since I have had the weight surgery, but it was so good, I wish I could have eaten every bite. Noel did eat two of them for me.

They advertise alot of tropical mixed alcohol drinks and I was tempted to try one or a couple but I was with the girls and it was the middle of the afternoon..lol

We also ordered some cheese breadsticks with maraniade sauce, it was very good. The girls ate all of these...lol
