Restaurants near Norfolk Historic District

From the moment you walk in there's a sense of elegance. Small, classy and inviting ambiance. Food selections explained in detail by very knowledgeable wait staff. Food presentation was superb, from the moment each guest was simultaneously presented with their selection to the appetizing visual of each dish. And the aroma and taste only further complemented the visual, making the whole experience wonderful. I would go back in an instance and highly recommend it My only concern is that their wine by the glass selections although interesting, they could possibly pair better with their terrific menu. Possibly even making some suggestions for pairing would be a good addition.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary (4th) and the entire staff was awesome. Everybody, from the young lady who checked us in to the folks who brought out or meal all congratulated us on our special day. Our waitress, Kim, was friendly, energetic, knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. She made our celebration even better than I expected.

The Red Lion Inn is iconic. Quintessential New England and always a joy to visit. Our lunch today did not disappoint. All tasty and well presented. The portions are modest for the price but leaves room for dessert. Apple pie, warmed Camabert and chocolate mousse were not only beautiful to look at it but mouth watering delicious. The Service was excellent! A must go to, if you’ve never been. And if you have, go back!

This was the first time dining at The Rooftop for both myself and my dear friend, Cindy. We were looking forward to our celebratory holiday luncheon here and were not disappointed. I had the Maple cider salmon entree and substituted the Brussel sprouts for asparagus. The sprouts were a tad salty but I love salt so that was not a problem for me! Cindy had the pan seared sea scallops with the butternut puree and the Fuji apple relish and loved them so much so she was unwilling to share one bite. Dessert was the bomb, not kidding, we both had the same dessert. I almost felt guilty eating it, not because of the calories, but because of the artfully displayed sweet on the plate . . . stunning. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. We will be back again.

What an incredible experience! The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Donna, our server for the evening, was incredible. Although this is a destination restaurant for us, we will be sure to add this into our annual rotation!
