We came to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary and we weren't disappointed. The food was delicious and the portion was huge. The jambalaya was too spicy for us but the rest -- calamari, Rockefeller oysters, flounder and lobsters -- was superb! They even served us candle lit chocolate mouse on a platter with "Happy Anniversary" on it. What a nice surprise! Kudos to our excellent server, Daniel, who was so attentive.

The food was excellent. Would have been nicer if my wife and I did not need to sit next to the bar when the rest of the restaurant was empty when we arrived

We loved our experience at Norfolk Seafood Co. The ambiance was fantastic and our server was so attentive. The food was great, especially the lobster empanadas and roasted Brussels sprouts. I enjoyed the seafood salad although I was it was over a different lettuce than shredded iceberg. Otherwise everything was fantastic!

We are huge fans of this restaurant! The food is consistently delicious, skillfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The service folks are attentive but not intrusive. One thing-- you can't get the "Happy Hour specials" ( drinks & appetizers) unless you sit at the bar. So we did for our cocktails, then moved to our table. Very enjoyable meal

We had several delicious items, and excellent service. The music was a little too loud at times, but other than that, a very nice evening.

As an cultured, educated and experienced person, I was taken aback by the repeated references to no balloons and $25 cake fee for our large party of 10. Once you state the policy, and it is agreed upon, no need to continue to belabor the point. It comes across as bias and is unwelcoming. Other than that, our large party was treated well, we enjoyed the server, who was very kind and patient. The food is always good and hot.
