In addition to the other suggestions along or just off Shore Drive, I'd suggest Dockside-roughly the same area as Bubba's, with both screened and unscreened decks that overlook the boat docks and Lynnhaven, and Zia Marie, an Italian restaurant located in the neighborhood that borders the south side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The owner also owns Crackers and Empire in Norfolk, Six in Hampton, and Metropolis on the Outer Banks, and each of those locations is quite successful. A relatively new place that does tapas with a good mix of beers and whiskies is Pacifica, located approximately at 36th and Pacific in a small strip shopping center. Tautog's is a generally good seafood restaurant and located in an old-style beach cottage. I've heard some good things about Tautog's. We've enjoyed Bubba's for the water/boat proximity (less so for the food/drink), Croaker's for pretty good seafood and Rockfish for freezer food with good people watching. Since my two young boys will be coming as well, we'll be looking mostly at the good beach-bar/marina dining options as opposed to haute cuisine. I'm heading down there for a conference next week pre-Memorial Day, and i was wondering if anybody had any particular suggestions. No one was that surprised when it tanked despite pretty good deli which Cville is still missing. Cooks coming out during service at the bar filling up on top shelf liquor, bartenders running dummy check scams and many "managers" who appeared to be hired on their ability to look good, this place hemmorhaged money. Hanging out at the bar during happy hour, it was evident to even me that this had to be one of the most mis-managed places ever. We had one of those here in Charlottesville established on the Downtown Mall in the late 90's. Not haute cuisine, but it's your seashore type of place.įunny about the Jewish Mother. This place is very family friendly and wallet friendly. I don't know if they still have it, but I had previously gone early on Thursdays for the two lobster for $19.99 dinner. Rockafellers's on Rudy Inlet has nice views and specials. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have entertainment at night. The Jewish Mother in the heart of the strip is a surprising oasis of good deli food. One Fish Two Fish is nice and has counter seats at the kitchen which might be fun.
