We hosted the kick off to our annual meeting and the staff was GREAT. Service and food were fantastic. Thank you Lily and team we really enjoyed our visit.

I don't typically leave Google reviews, but I felt this experience was worth sharing. Before coming to the restaurant, I called to ask if my 3-pound teacup Maltese would be allowed inside if he remained in his carrier/purse the entire time. I had just picked him up from the groomer right down the road, and since I live at the Oceanfront, it would have been a long drive to take him home and then drive back. The young woman I spoke with was very kind and checked with a manager before confirming that it would be okay as long as he stayed in his carrier. I was excited to try this restaurant for the first time. As a local Virginia Beach resident, I was celebrating buying my wedding dress with one of my best friends, and we were looking forward to a nice lunch. After we had been seated for 5–10 minutes and had already started looking over the menu, an employee (who was not a manager) approached our table and told us that my dog was not allowed inside. I explained that I had specifically called ahead and had been told by management that it was permitted. She left to check and then returned, telling me that my buttoned-up carrier was not acceptable and that we either had to leave or mov

Loved the shrimp and grits and hot honey brussel sprouts. Have enjoyed all our meals here.

OMG! Love this place. The Northshore is my favorite. Oh and you have to get something from the bakery. Another fav.... Dolly Parton Cookie bar. (7 layer bar, aka magic cookie bars) Are dinner last night here. Was much less impressed. Strongly did not like the truffle fries. If you've never had truffles, this would not be my first thing to experiment with truffles. The sliders were good but I much prefer the North shore or the turkey Panini from the lunch menu

I stopped in for a carry out lunch today and was very impressed with my experience. The host was so sweet; he showed me their selection of to-go foods and showed me where to go to place my takeout order. The boutique had an adorable selection of gifts to browse while waiting for my food. I chose the fried green tomato BLT, which came accompanied by chips made in-house, as well as a pickle spear. My order came out swiftly, was neatly packaged, and of course tasted DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to bring the family back to dine in!
