A Memorable Valentine’s Dinner Experience – 5 Stars Our Valentine’s Day dinner started off rocky, with a 45-minute delay that had us initially questioning the evening ahead. However, the professionalism and poise of the staff quickly turned things around, led by the exceptional hostess, Gianna. Her calm demeanor, thorough explanations regarding the Winter Wonderland Igloo seating delay, and ability to ease frustrations transformed what could have been a disappointing start into a positive experience. Inside, the ambiance was spectacular, thanks to the live piano, drummer, and a singer whose inspiring vocals filled the room. This musical trio set a romantic and elegant tone for the evening, creating an atmosphere that immediately lifted our spirits. Once seated, Daniel, our server, truly stole the show. His impeccable service and friendly demeanor helped reignite our excitement for the night. The food itself was a masterpiece—steaks cooked to perfection, seasoned expertly, and presented with artistry by the talented Trell. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant’s culinary excellence. Even the manager, Trent, went above and beyond, personally ensuring our experience met the highest standards. His leadership and genuine concern for guests were evident and greatly appreciated. The valet service, bussing crew, and everyone involved delivered outstanding service, rounding out the evening beautifully. A special shoutout to Becca staff, whose bespoke service continues to set this establishment apart. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction are why we continue to return time and again. Despite the rocky start, the professionalism, warmth, and skill of the entire team made this a Valentine’s Day to remember. Five stars all the way—thank you for creating such a magical experience!

We came for a valentines date. The restaurant was busy as expected, service was attentive, valet was a big help our entrees were very aesthetically pleasing. We had the salsa which was a little too much tomato for my palate and seemed a bit on the purée or muddled side. Back to the entrees which were exceptional and flavorful. The waiter made great suggestions for the margarita which was very interesting. We both agreed we would return again.

Wonderful Valentine’s Day. It’s our 5th time dining here. Always a pleasure. I had the salmon special. It was good, however I won’t get it again. If ya catch my drift. Wife got her usual, chicken. Always good. This place always delivers. Thank you.

Great location, decor, and value for your money. The dishes they serve are all hearty and portioned well. Great for date night or even just grabbing some pizza and wine on a quiet evening.

We definitely have a new favorite Italian place! As hard as it is for me to say this, hands down better than any place around the Hampton Roads area - yes better than that place, and yes that place too. The best. Every course was a standout, well prepared, perfectly seasoned, served with care, and flavor authentic as it comes. I lived in Italy for 7 years and this is the first place that truly took me back. Small place so reservations are needed but it will not disappoint. My take best takeaway, our server was so confident in our meal she said she would pay for it if it was not the best. We paid for our meal, and I appreciate that level or confidence. Amazing.
