Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Virginia Beach

We made a reservation through Open Table after the showing of The Nutcracker at the Sandler Center. Aldo's is one of our favorite "go to" restaurants when we want a special night. We can always count on being able to carry on a conversation and not being surrounded by flip=flops, ball caps, and sleeveless tank-tops. We were not disappointed. Both of us had the she crab soup for an appetizer and the rock fish special for our main course. Both were outstanding. We chose a David Finlayson chardonnay from South Africa to accompany our meal and it was absolutely delightful nice and crisp. Our table service was outstanding, very professional with our waiter striking the illusive balance of attentiveness and friendliness. From our widow table, we were also able to see a signature example of Aldo''s outstanding hospitality, a hostess accompanied older couple to their car assisting them with entry. This is not the first time we have seen such hospitality by the Aldo's staff. If you want a really enjoyable and memorable evening of dining, you cannot go wrong with Aldo's - absolutely outstanding in every way.

I was at Bravo’s for brunch today with my niece. That is one of my favorite places to go. Never had a bad meal nor bad experience there. So glad Bravo’s is in my area.

We have been coming here for over 20 years whenever we are in Virginia Beach and it has always been an excellent experience. Cocktails are tasty and potent. Food is beautifully presented, well-portioned, and absolutely delicious. And service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

A true gem in the heart of Virginia Beach, Crocs 19th Street Bistro delivers an exceptional dining experience worthy of its reputation. On our second visit, the bistro exceeded all expectations yet again, earning a well-deserved 5 stars. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The triple-cooked wings were the best I’ve had in a long time—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The menu’s subtle Mediterranean touches were a delightful surprise, bringing a unique twist to the dining experience. Add to that an impressive wine selection, and you’re set for a perfect meal. For me, their expertly crafted Old Fashioneds were so good, I couldn’t stop at just one! But what truly sets Crocs apart is the service. For the second time, the staff delivered warm, attentive, and top-notch care, making us feel like cherished guests. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevate this bistro beyond comparison. If you’re looking for a spot where impeccable food meets outstanding service, Crocs 19th Street Bistro is a must. From family outings to special celebrations, this bistro hits every mark. We can’t wait to come back!
