Best Seasonal Restaurants in Norfolk

Beautiful atmosphere hands down! Services was great and the vibe was amazing. The food..Brussel sprouts were delicious. Fritto misto was so so as the breading wasn’t crisp and I only had 2-3 shrimp. Very disappointing. Ravioli was so so. After sitting for a few moments it was tough to cut. Ordered gelato for dessert and it was okay. I’ve def had better. I’d definitely recommend for the ambiance, drinks and lite bite. Didn’t order an entree but I will def get pizza next time. The wood burning stove was fired up all night. Special added touch was the piano music. The pianist played some beautiful songs. Would def go again and explore the menu more!

Each member of the staff was excellent with great hospitality skills. Our meal was exceptional. We travel often and eat at many nice restaurants. This is truly one of the very best restaurants in Norfolk,.

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 brunch was amazing. First time away from family and friends for the holiday and it was surprisingly nice. Everything we ate was very flavorful and exciting. Karrina our waitress was exceptional. We are already making plans to go back next year.

Had a reservation for a casual date night and it was wonderful. The food was great, steak cooked perfectly and overall the food tasted amazing. Our server Paige made sure we had everything we needed and regularly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we wanted. The price was a little higher than I anticipated but I would argue it was worth it, we’ll be back for sure
