Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Hampton

My wife and I recently celebrated her birthday at Schlesinger’s Steakhouse, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambience was perfect—not too light or too dark—creating an intimate atmosphere. The decor is beautiful, and the layout is thoughtfully designed. A fun touch was the complimentary mouthwash in the restrooms—it made me chuckle but was a surprisingly nice addition. The food selection was fantastic, with so many tempting options that it was hard to choose just one. We ended up ordering the filet mignon and pork chops, and both dishes were so well prepared that we kept picking off each other’s plates. The sides were excellent complements to the mains and added to the overall dining experience. Our waitress, Megan, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Her expertise and professionalism really stood out and enhanced the evening. The wine selection was also impressive, offering a wide variety to suit any taste. The location is quiet, safe, and offers plenty of parking, making it even more convenient. Schlesinger’s Steakhouse is truly a top-tier dining destination, and we can’t wait to return!

Riverstone Chophouse continues to maintain a level of excellence with food quality, creativity, and service. You will not be disappointed!

I took my two daughters 7 and 10 on a date in the early evening after a play nearby. Our waitress Marilyn made the experience top-notch! The food was amazing and everything was explained to where my daughter felt very included, they even went into detail about the dessert making process and now crème brûlée is their new favorite dessert! Ultimately the service made the evening even more special for both me and my daughters! Thanks, Marilyn and the rest of the service staff at Ruth’s Chris! Happy new year!

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!
