- VValerieVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoEach time that I’ve visited has been an exceptional experience. Today was no different! From the Host and the grand entrance to each of my servers, everything was perfect! I was immediately greeted with a smile and upon prompt seating our service took our drink order. The food was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the salmon, crab cakes, and greens. No room for dessert! Simply the best!More infoFounders Inn Swan Terrace GrillPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Virginia Beach•4.2
- JJacquesVirginia •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was our 2nd time at Brothers, but the 1st at the new location. Amazing place, service & hospitality was on point. Even the owner stopped by our table to check on us & others…which is a big deal. The gentleman who provided the live music was great, love his rendition of all the hits he played. And finally, the food & drinks were outstanding!!! My wife ordered a Lemon drop cocktail & she said it was the best she ever had. Will definitely be coming back and recommend Brothers to our friends as well.More infoBrothersPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Norfolk•4.2
- RRachelVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time going. Was on our try list. Was not disappointed. Nice selection of spirits. They make some crafty cocktails but I didn’t try any. Just had wine on the mind. Creative main dishes. Ended up have the smoked Birria Mushroom Pappardelle and husband had the Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast. The Birria was amazing. Husband’s first time having duck and we weren’t sure on temperature. So he ordered it thinking steak temp. Big mistake! Came out dry and tough. One of the owners came out and talked to us. Recooked the duck the correct way and was perfect!! We insisted several times on paying for the second duck and we were refused. So note trust the chef to prepare the food. Lol. We had Oreo cheesecake for dessert . We also had oysters Rockefeller and tuna bites for appetizers. All the food was deliciously amazing. If you are looking for a special occasion place or some great cocktails this is your place. From hostess to owner fantastic people. You won’t be disappointed.More info508 CrafthousePrice: Expensive• American• Norfolk•4.5
