- KKathyVirginia •25 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe only negative thing was that the rockfish was a pretty empty plate— that was a lot of money for a lot of mashed potatoes.The Grand Marnier cheesecake was out of this world.More info456 FishPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Norfolk•4.6
- LLindaVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a delicious dinner before the Broadway show Tina Wednesday. Service was great and at times we had to talk a little louder to be able to hear each other but so enjoyed our selves. Can't speak for the other 5 ladies but everyone cleaned their plates and some had dessert. I think that says it all.More infoLeone'sPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Norfolk•4.6

- RRachelNorfolk/Suffolk •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025I will confess that the menu was much smaller than anticipated and we got the brunch menu, which I understood because of it being New Years Day. I saw this as a good thing because to me, the smaller the menu, the better the food is going to be. Boy I was right and my gut told me to get the risotto. While my mom and I waited for our food, we were taking in and enjoying the quiet ambiance and we did get to enjoy the Perry Glass exhibit after we finished. It’s worth checking out. When our food arrived, I already knew I was in for a treat because the earthy, cheesy and creamy aroma filled the air and I couldn’t wait to dig in. The presentation looked like an art piece and I knew I was in for a treat. OH. MY. GOD. It’s the best risotto I’ve ever tasted and according to Shantal, our server, it’s not a regular menu item of theirs, but it should be because the little mushrooms on the top were crispy like bacon and I had a take a picture of the masterpiece because I knew it was going to vanish in minutes. If the chefs are reading this, please make it a regular menu item. My mom was disappointed in her steak, but she was already in a bad mood. However, she enjoyed the Perry Glass exhibit and agreed to come back when the Glass Light offers their regular dinner menu. We will be back to enjoy the bougie elegance and masterpieces of the Glass Light and dig into more of its ambrosia in the future!More infoGlass LightPrice: Expensive• French American• Norfolk•4.5
- AAmyVIPSouth Carolina •4 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 28, 2024Enjoyed a delicious anniversary dinner last night at Byrd and Baldwin! It was our third time visiting and does not disappoint. We shared the crab cake appetizer and each had the fillet mignon. The crab cake had minimal filler (if any) and the steaks were tender and cooked perfectly. This is a go to place for a special evening out!More infoByrd and Baldwin Bros. SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Norfolk•4.7
