Best Fun Restaurants in Newport News

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!

The food was excellent. Our server was on top of everything and very friendly. Would recommend this establishment to everyone.

Very nice Christmas Eve lunch in this bar/restaurant on Yorktown’s “modern” water front. Appetizer was great, entrees were good and the dessert was spectacular. Nice views and extremely friendly service. Visit the book/antique shop across the street for fun nostalgia.

Very pleasant dining experience with delicious food and a comfortable atmosphere. It was just a tiny bit crowded requiring adjustment of chairs as other diners walked by to take their tables. This is a great option for business dinners and parties.

A perfect experience!! CJ was a great server! The food presented was delicious and top quality! Nothing better than a chocolate dessert!!
