What a superb experience. Though we walked in, we found 2 seats at the bar. Next time: reservations. Every detail is clearly thought out and thoughtfully designed. Even foods I would or have choose, my friend convinced me to try. Each one was a revelation. The small plates allow you to sample widely from this exquisitely prepared food. It’s no wonder this tiny place is booked every night.
We ate here at 6:30pm on 1/10/2026 for my birthday. Every single seat in the restaurant was filled for the 3 hours we enjoyed our meal, and the staff did an excellent job accommodating us and every patron, including walk-ins. The establishment is small, but the atmosphere is incredible. There are sound panels to help with noise, and the music and decor are great. For our large party, we ordered every single dish on the menu (which does rotate) from apps, small plates, pasta, mains, and desserts except the raw oysters. I cannot express how much thought and prep goes into the menu. It was honestly mind-blowing. We tried octopus, duck, mussels, etc. and couldn’t stop raving. Each dish had a beautiful presentation and deep flavor profile. The chef here worked at a previous establishment where I had my birthday dinner last year, so I wanted to check out his new place - we were not disappointed in the least. Ample options, great cocktails and wine/beer list, great service. Fantastic through and through. Thanks to the team for a memorable night. Eat here! You won’t regret it.
I am usually hesitant to go anywhere semi-upscale. This restaurant had a small but comforting building with nice Christmas decorations. The mixed drinks are very well made and not crazily strong. The rockfish was cook to perfection, and the hanger steak meal made my wife go to heaven for a few seconds lol. Great experience all around with a nice genuine experience of food made with love. Thanks for the wonderful experience ILO!!!!!
Exceptional all around, every dish and cocktail masterfully crafted and presented, top-notch service in a romantic atmosphere. Started with Fox on the Mountain and Cherry Batanga cocktails - both excellent and well-balanced, Fox particularly unique and cohesive, a must-try. Sourdough and salted butter was predictably wonderful, and then duck rillette, savory loukomades, and roasted baby beets were all fantastic, can't go wrong - rillette was perfectly fried and came with a lovely sauce that seemed to include some sesame in addition to the menu description, loukomades were a stellar combination of sweet dough and honey with savory and salty prosciutto, and beets were a complementary match with endives, candied hazelnut, and whipped goat cheese. "What Would Will Drink?" was an interesting order, aquavit was a fun and surprisingly smooth try of something we don't often get, and paired well with unfiltered Basque cider, which wasn't overly dry or sweet as some ciders can be. Tokai Maru is the pièce de résistance of this cocktail menu, expertly crafted and balanced in every way, with delightful notes of chocolate, banana, and date. Chateau Célébration and Lil' Collins mini cocktails were an amusing and delicious pair. Gnocchi and grilled half chicken entrees were both outstanding - the massive, pillowy gnocchi were wonderfully receptive to their accompaniments, and the chicken was exquisitely tender and delectable, one of, if not the, best chicken dishes we've ever had. For dessert, the apple crisp meringue ricotta semifreddo and date cake with chocolate ice cream both made for a marvelous way to conclude an amazing meal. Easily one of our best restaurant experiences in Hampton Roads, can't wait to go back!
Every dish was absolutely outstanding, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The atmosphere had a refined touch, making it a perfect spot for a date. The food did take a little while to come out, but it was truly worth the wait—it was delicious!
