My now husband, our son and I ran into this amazing restaurant summer of 2021. We met one of the managers, Kaitlin, in the gorgeous garden and found out that it was also a wedding venue. Fast forward a year later, we are back in VA beach vacationing, engaged, and KNEW that this was the place we were
Such a great variety of drinks and tastes. We tried a few cocktails, appetizers and a dessert. ALL were delicious. A great start to our Virginia Beach vacation. They were very busy but the bar tender was still attentive and giving us the best quality of what they offered. Highly recommend.
The menu at Esoteric is simply phenomenal. Don't be fooled into thinking it all seems like standard foodie fare—it's truly elevated. I appreciated the attention to fresh, local ingredients and plant-forward dishes. But the proteins! Lord, the proteins here are done riiiight. The ribeye and the duck,
The cocktails and service are stellar. We appreciated the attention to vegan vs vegetarian options. The buffalo mushroom bites were really fantastic in their texture and spicy sauce. We certainly come back for cocktails.
Great cocktails and we really enjoyed all the food we tried. Nice vibe and friendly staff.
This is my favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach. They have amazing cocktails and a diverse menu (including lots of vegan / vegetarian options, but also seafood, steak, etc.) they have a garden out back so always some freshly grown produce. Highly recommend the desserts as well!
Everything was perfect. Coming from philly suburbs we have a lot of great food options in and around the city. Esoteric is different. From the cocktails to the salads and entrees this place is special. We will be back before we leave. 10/10
Go here NOW! So good! I ate the burger before thinking to take a picture! The truffle fries are to die for and the burger was cooked perfectly!
Very impressive. While this place looks like a typical place to get some craft beer it serves up a very unique dinner. A mix of beer-partner staples and specials, with ingredients from their garden - the meal did not disappoint. The small plates, the mains, and the desert were all perfection. Dogs a
This place was fantastic. So fantastic that we went for lunch and came back the next day for dinner. The atmosphere is relaxing. I love their wood tables. The food was so delicious that I could barely get pictures because we all ate it so fast because it was delicious! Tried 3 different drinks and t
By far, one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach and is a traditional birthday dinner spot for my wife. We have tried just about everything on the menu with some of our favorites being their Charred Octopus, Pimento Cheese or the House Made Pretzel for an appetizer.
Tonight I had the Fresh
I went here with some friends a couple weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed! The food was insanely delicious and I love how they put unique, elevated takes on things like poutine and buffalo wings - or in this case, buffalo mushroom bites, made so well with oyster mushrooms that even I, a lifelon
What an amazing experience! Enjoyed some delicious beers; a sour by Precarious and another by Foam along with a Bourbon Barrel Aged PB Strawberry Stout to finish it off. The food was perfect in every way. Started our night off with buffalo fried mushrooms and a cauliflower noodle dish. We then crush
First things I heard of this place was the fried chicken was simply amazing and their beer selection was extensive. After going I have to agree with both. Their drink list was long and the fried chicken was so delicious. It was flavored so well and slight heat cooked into the skin fried batter. I wi
Definitely recommend for couples and friends. It's a fun venue. I got the daily special risotto and texture was on point!! Desserts were amazing too. I got the lemon tart. OMG the lemon filling is amazing though I wished the crust had more texture to it. The Apple rhubarb cake was amazing!!! So yumm
This place is absolutely amazing! Best service that we’ve have had all week in Virginia Beach. The food was delicious, and unique! All together we ordered the octopus tacos, house made pretzel, jackfruit tacos, grilled cheese, and grilled white peach salad. Everything was perfect, and our server was
Meticulously, crafted cocktails and seasonally inspired food. From bone marrow to duck tacos, everything I’ve had here is absolutely amazing! Happy hour starts at 4pm on weekdays where you can get $5 glasses of wine AND fifty cent wings.
You won’t regret ordering the truffle fries! They’re the best
Delicious duck! Heartwarming service. No dead soldiers. Sorry it's so good it's gone!!!
Excellent restaurant through and through. This place is a very trendy upscale restaurant located in an arts district near the oceanfront. Our food was great, we went for several small plates and cocktails and they did not disappoint. The duck tacos in particular were so good that we ordered a second
