    This is my 2nd time ever going to Eurasia in the 34 years that I've lived here in Hampton Roads. Each visit was as a gift. My daughter had treated me about 15 years ago (just her & I) for my birthday which was a wonderful experience. She had eaten at Eurasia before and she was excited to introduce me to some new (new to me) delectables. I don't remember exactly what she had ordered for us but they were items I had never tried before & I definitely remember how delicious everything was. This recent visit was also a gift to me & my husband from my daughter & son-in-law for Christmas 2024. We saved it for Valentine's Day & chose to go for a nice 12:30 pm lunch the day before hoping that it would be not be too busy so that we could enjoy our conversations & the amazing food that we were so looking forward to tasting...it turned out to be absolutely perfect. Our server Melissa was so sweet & took excellent care of us. She was right on time with checking in with us for everything (the food, checking on drink refills & if we needed anything...). We had not eaten breakfast so we were pretty hungry. What we ordered was more like a yummy smorgasbord which we enjoyed soooo much. Appetizers: Fried Eastern Shore Oysters with Old Bay Tartar & Oysters Eurasia with spinach, bacon, cream cheese, panko & parmesan on the half-shell. Our Entrees: #1 - Grilled 48-hour Short Rib with honey-roasted sweet potato, creamed kale, spiced pecans, & honey brown butter #2 - Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Israeli couscous, peas, shaved fennel, fresh basil, lemon pesto, beurre blanc. Melissa had given us some small plates so that we could enjoy a little bit of this & a little bit of that. We had so much fun taking our sweet time sharing our little Valentine's Day feast with each other. Everything was so amazing. Thank you! We will be back again very soon!
