Restaurants near Old Point Comfort Light

I want to thank Saltine for coming to the rescue after my Christmas was almost ruined! My stepdad took us to another place because his hairdresser recommended it, but when we discovered that it was a buffet, we noped it out of there. So, my mom asked me to find another place, and I stumbled upon Saltine. When I told my mom about the prime rib dinner (good lord, it’s delicious), she and my stepdad agreed to go. Good thing we picked this place because as soon as we pulled up to the Hilton, we were impressed! Luckily, the wait wasn’t too long and we were seated right away. Though, I felt sorry for the lobsters in the tank. Anyway, we got seated in a pretty comfortable booth/chair area and we had Destiny as our server (she was awesome). My mother and I went with her recommendation of the Christmas dinner and the she crab soup! The prime rib came out ridiculously fast and right behind the soup! I didn’t have to ask how I wanted it cooked because it was as if the chefs read my mind and knew that I wanted it medium rare. The potato puree, root veggies, au jus, and horseradish sauce complemented the prime slice of ambrosia on my plate. Oh! And the plum toffee pudding! It’s probably the best I’ve ever tasted! All of it was house made, the toffee tasted just like Golden Grahams without the weird preservatives, and it was so good that it deserves its own paragraph on here. That and the darkening of the restaurant was the crescendo of the wonderful evening! It went perfectly with the elegant and chic Christmas decorations! Saltine saved my Christmas and I want to thank them for it! I hope to make their prime rib dinner into a new Christmas tradition. Thank you so much, Saltine! Lots of chef’s kisses!

Christmas Day Delight with my sons: Orion's Roof is a beautiful rooftop restaurant nicely decorated for the holidays with gorgeous views of the ocean. Our server Dustin was friendly, helpful, and highly attentive. Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees arrived in perfect timing. His recommendations were highly accurate. The food ranks among the highest we have ever enjoyed. One of my sons said the food rivaled the Michelin 2-star restaurant he ate at in Argentina last week! We had the duck, Singapore noodles, prime rib, and an Asian alfredo type dish. All were impeccably prepared to perfection. The food melted in our mouths. The overall ambiance was so pleasant, and the manager had a good presence checking in as we arrived and left. While it is more than we usually spend, it was worth the extra money to have an incredibly high level of culinary ability and the superior waitstaff of Dustin.

Great food. Loved the prix fixe menu. Very well done.

We went for Christmas Eve and it was lovely! Our server was great and the food was delicious.

Our server, Jeremy, was friendly, accommodating and ensured our dinner was exactly what we wanted, how we wanted it. He was moving quickly between tables, yet made everyone (we watched) in our area feel important and welcome. Chefs delivered our plates with a smile! Merry Christmas Cavalier! See you in 2025💕🤣
