Best Healthy Restaurants in Norfolk

I took my two daughters 7 and 10 on a date in the early evening after a play nearby. Our waitress Marilyn made the experience top-notch! The food was amazing and everything was explained to where my daughter felt very included, they even went into detail about the dessert making process and now crème brûlée is their new favorite dessert! Ultimately the service made the evening even more special for both me and my daughters! Thanks, Marilyn and the rest of the service staff at Ruth’s Chris! Happy new year!

I want to thank Saltine for coming to the rescue after my Christmas was almost ruined! My stepdad took us to another place because his hairdresser recommended it, but when we discovered that it was a buffet, we noped it out of there. So, my mom asked me to find another place, and I stumbled upon Saltine. When I told my mom about the prime rib dinner (good lord, it’s delicious), she and my stepdad agreed to go. Good thing we picked this place because as soon as we pulled up to the Hilton, we were impressed! Luckily, the wait wasn’t too long and we were seated right away. Though, I felt sorry for the lobsters in the tank. Anyway, we got seated in a pretty comfortable booth/chair area and we had Destiny as our server (she was awesome). My mother and I went with her recommendation of the Christmas dinner and the she crab soup! The prime rib came out ridiculously fast and right behind the soup! I didn’t have to ask how I wanted it cooked because it was as if the chefs read my mind and knew that I wanted it medium rare. The potato puree, root veggies, au jus, and horseradish sauce complemented the prime slice of ambrosia on my plate. Oh! And the plum toffee pudding! It’s probably the best I’ve ever tasted! All of it was house made, the toffee tasted just like Golden Grahams without the weird preservatives, and it was so good that it deserves its own paragraph on here. That and the darkening of the restaurant was the crescendo of the wonderful evening! It went perfectly with the elegant and chic Christmas decorations! Saltine saved my Christmas and I want to thank them for it! I hope to make their prime rib dinner into a new Christmas tradition. Thank you so much, Saltine! Lots of chef’s kisses!

Wow! What an outstanding find in Riverview in Norfolk. We drove from VA Beach to meet friends from Portsmouth to try this new place that just opened in October. The staff were friendly & prompt, but not hovering, and the chef/owner came over a few times to answer questions and actually show us some pics of the plates we were considering to order. If you like healthy Mediterranean cuisine and excellent wines, then we would highly recommend you try this place. We don't think you will be disappointed! Hopefully the word will spread!!

I had my proposal dinner here and it was absolutely perfect.

The food was excellent, especially the shrimp and grits... full of flavor and the right amount of kick. The service matched the food. The shrimp and grits alone are reasons to come back, but I look forward to trying something from the rest of the menu which looked appetizing.
