Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Virginia Beach

This was our Valentine's Day meal at Catch 31. The service was impeccable. Our waiter had the right amount of timing and attention to detail. He also gave great recommendations for our evening affair. We had a cozy intimate table for two in the back corner with a wonderful view of the beach and ocean. Perfect for Valentine's Day. The ambiance reminded me of très chic clubs in old 1930s movies. We started with a half-pound of peel-n-eat shrimp from the Raw Bar. Nine big plump fresh shrimp covered in Old Bay, served with cocktail sauce and lemon. Wonderful. My wife had the Catch 31 Crab Cakes, two big lump cakes with just enough binder to hold them together, they were delicious. Her crab came served over cubed roasted sweet potatoes and roasted halved honey glazed Brussels sprouts. This entree is a winner. I decided on the seared pork loin cooked medium. The loin had a nice grilled bark on it. The tarragon mustard cream sauce over the top was delicious. Unfortunately, my pork was overcooked. My arm and steak knife sawed our way through the meat. The pork loin was served on a bed of whipped mashed potatoes and grilled broccolini that were both delightful. Another surprise for us both was no she crab soup nor shrimp or oyster entrees on the menu. Standard bill of fare in most Virginia Beach seafood restaurants. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Our waitress, Lauren, was fabulous. The food was excellent, tasty, warm and just as ordered - and expected. The breaded mozzarella sticks were just OK - not crispy and barely warm (not near as good as Waterman’s) restaurant and the Bread served with chopped garlic/tomato topping while we were perusing the menu (sort of a combo between Nan and Pita bread) was good, but you really should serve a tasty Italian or French bread with the meal. Those were the only minor dings. Overall a really good experience. We’ll be back.

Amazing once again! The food and drinks are so good.

We had a awesome time waitress was awesome food was great
