Blue Seafood & Spirits

Blue is one of my favorite restaurants for a special dinner. It is always consistently delicious and service is great. They open at 4 pm Tues-Sat and don't take reservations so we try to get there early. I love the Eastern Shore oysters, crabcakes and crab soup. It is a small and cozy restaurant. I definitely recommend!

This was our first visit to Blue Seafood but won't be our last. While waiting for our order, we enjoyed watching the TV screens showing underwater fish and turtles. How appropriate for a seafood restaurant! Our server was knowledgeable of the day's menu and friendly. The free appetizers were a nice touch. Prices on the wine list were reasonable for the quality of the wine. Our combo seafood (crabcake, flounder, scallops) was fresh and cooked to perfection. Enjoyed talking to chef Thomas after our meal Five stars across the board!

I can’t think of one single thing to say negative about my experience. The food was fantastic, the service was unbelievably good. Cheerful, attentive and friendly but very professional and the overall vibe of the place is positive and fun. I had the fried oysters and they were fresh, cooked perfectly and it was the perfect portion size.

We were looking for somewhere to eat on our last evening at the beach and based on reviews, we choose Blue Seafood and Spirits. What a great decision! Everything, from the cocktails to the apps, to the salads and main dishes were absolutely wonderful. Even the children’s menu is great! Our server was also awesome! The owner/chef/dishwasher 😁 came out to ask how everything was and then stopped by again thanking us for our business. If you are looking for great food and drinks and a friendly place, Blue Seafood & Spirits is the place!

Our family of 5 recently visited and we'll definitely be going back! We ordered the seafood combo, belle haven, and the pork chop - everything was excellent! Cocktails were great as well. Our server Jenny was super friendly and attentive. One of the best restaurants in the VA Beach region... I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

My husband and I ate there this past Saturday night. From the moment we got to the front door, the staff were polite, welcoming and so accommodating! We sat at the bar and Bridgett, the bartender, was great! The food was also amazing! EVERYTHING was sooo good! My husband has a gluten allergy and they were so accommodating and have many gluten free options. We have lived nearby for 5 years and can't believe we are just now finding this gem of a restaurant.

Per a friend's recommendation, we drove about 40+ minutes to get to Blue. The drive was well worth it. As you can see per the pics, the food looked amazing. It all was well cooked and tasted GREAT. The staff was very friendly and really took care of us. We never had to wait on anything.....even with it being kinda crowded. One thing I REALLY liked is/was how the Chef actually walks around and talks to everyone. If you happen to try Blue, get there early. We got there when it opened at 4pm and when we left, there were a lot of folks waiting to get in. If this place was just a little bigger, it would be that much more awesome. Other than the size of the restaurant, this place ROCKS. We will definitely make that 40+ minute drive again and again.

Had my birthday dinner here on recommendations of a local friend of the family, and it was a great experience. I do recommend that you plan ahead as there was a 45 min wait, but it was worth it. The free appetizer was delightful and a nice surprise. Dinner was cooked to perfection and the seafood was very fresh. The cocktails were perfectly made. The keylime pie for dessert was amazing as well and had a side of strawberry jam as a twist. The wait staff were very attentive, and drink refills were on point. We even got the host to take a picture of our dinner and got the chef in it as well. Perfect night, I will definitely be back.

I booked a weekend in VA Beach for my wife’s birthday. She specifically wanted seafood. I did a search on seafood restaurants in VA Beach and this place easily had the top rated reviews. I selected this place for our dinner and It did not disappoint! At first you may be skeptical as you first get there as it isn’t a large place and easy to pass by. It truly is a hidden gem! We got there and was immediately put on a waiting list was told it may take 30 minutes but it took about 15 minutes to get seated. They were packed which is generally a very good sign. Our waitress (Jenny) was at our table in a few minutes. She gave us great service always refilling our drinks before we ever even asked. We both put in order for the same seafood combo. Now I have to say we are trying hard to be as keto friendly on our diet as possible but we did splurge some here and if you have to splurge make it worth you while and we did truly feel it was worth it. We put in an order for appetizer Fried Green Tomatoes with Pimento Cheese. I wouldn’t have ever put the two together but it was one our favorites of the evening. Note: nothing here was bad. We had a hard time selecting our favorites of the dishes we ate. We also ordered a bowl of crab soup made with roasted tomatoes. This is another dish we wouldn’t have ever put together but it was also very very good. We both ordered the broiled seafood combo that has Scallops, catch of the day fish Flounder, and a Crab-Cake. All three of them were good and another hard choice as to which was our favorite. We chose the crab-cake 1st because you usually don't get a lot of crab-meat in a crab-cake when you order one and they were both loaded with crab, followed by the scallops, and the flounder. All were amazing! I decided not to order mashed potatoes or a sweet potato but opted for a double helping of vegetables. I could have just eaten those vegetables and could have been happy with just them. The vegetables had the best grilled taste. This meal came with a sweet potato biscuit and I have to say, I was trying to be hard to be good and push away the carbs. Okay so this little biscuit got to me and it's was sinfully good with a dab of butter. We usually don’t order dessert but hey we decided to share a slice of Key-Lime pie. I mean we already had that sinfully amazing little biscuit. The Key-Lime pie was absolutely perfect. To top everything off the chef stopped by our table prior to our appetizers arriving and gave us this amazing amuse bouche which was a peeled slightly spicy shrimp on a cracker with a sweet touch of a homemade jam. What a combo and it was a great kickstart to the meal. We had amazing service and overall there was absolutely nothing we could complain about. We both (my wife and I) would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely be back.
