Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Norfolk

We had a beautiful dinner with 6 friends to celebrate my 30th birthday. Staff was so accommodating and made my birthday feel special. I would highly recommend Zoe’s to my friends and family.

We enjoyed everything from ambiance to all the food and wine we ate. The lamb was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. The paired white and red wine was very delicious. We will be back to try other dishes.

Top notch steaks, and wide variety of quality seafood. The Kansas City Cut, Bone in Filet, and the Bone in Ribeye are all amazing dry aged steaks I have tried. Their non DA steaks are also amazing. Some of the best Salmon in VB and the stuffed shrimp paired with it were well executed. Good sides. French onion soup!

I will confess that the menu was much smaller than anticipated and we got the brunch menu, which I understood because of it being New Years Day. I saw this as a good thing because to me, the smaller the menu, the better the food is going to be. Boy I was right and my gut told me to get the risotto. While my mom and I waited for our food, we were taking in and enjoying the quiet ambiance and we did get to enjoy the Perry Glass exhibit after we finished. It’s worth checking out. When our food arrived, I already knew I was in for a treat because the earthy, cheesy and creamy aroma filled the air and I couldn’t wait to dig in. The presentation looked like an art piece and I knew I was in for a treat. OH. MY. GOD. It’s the best risotto I’ve ever tasted and according to Shantal, our server, it’s not a regular menu item of theirs, but it should be because the little mushrooms on the top were crispy like bacon and I had a take a picture of the masterpiece because I knew it was going to vanish in minutes. If the chefs are reading this, please make it a regular menu item. My mom was disappointed in her steak, but she was already in a bad mood. However, she enjoyed the Perry Glass exhibit and agreed to come back when the Glass Light offers their regular dinner menu. We will be back to enjoy the bougie elegance and masterpieces of the Glass Light and dig into more of its ambrosia in the future!

We were visiting Williamsburg and this came up on Open table and we were happy to visit a restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of Rt 60. This place was amazing! George was our server and was attentive and kind. We had the bruschetta, which was delicious and the presentation was gorgeous! We also had the mozzarella sticks, they were yummy as well. My husband ordered the salmon salad and it was a large portion and he said it was delicious. I ordered the vodka penne and it was amazing! I did not feel extremely stuffed afterwards and I just loved the ambiance of the restaurant. We will certainly be back as we felt very welcomed by everyone there.
