Best Romantic Restaurants in Virginia Beach

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 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.

On our pre valentines day dinner our four dinners drove 1:45 minutes to our go to special occasion, Aldos. We were 20 minutes early but immediately greeted and seated, and server reached the table within a minute. We were offered beverage choices and appetizers which arrived quickly and provided with menus and info on specials. Sabrina was a personable, knowlegeable, well trained and eager server who represents the high values of the restaurant. Everything was delivered to the table timely, hot , well prepared and presented. Salmon, veal and veal parmigian were all excellent and focacia bread and mussels were great accompaniments. The meal concluded with apple pie, peach cobbler and creme brulee. Our experiences at Aldos over 20 years have always been good to outstanding but this experience was the BEST ever. Thank you for a total dining experience and look forward to next visit.

This was my first visit to Orion’s and it was spectacular. My wife and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary there and the staff and the food were excellent. The view and the atmosphere really made the evening special.

Very happy with our visit to Yiannis! The food from start to finish was excellent. The server helped us choose a delicious reasonably priced bottle of wine. We highly recommend Yiannis. The atmosphere is as casual or dressy as you would like. Intimate bar area. Plenty of parking! We will definitely plan another visit soon.
