Help us make it rightI expected more because of the reviews. It was hard to find, then you had to walk in the cold a mile it seemed. Parking was awful. The restaurant was drafty. They didnt serve iced tea?! They didnt have crab legs, or twice baked potatoes, (how hard could that be to make?!) And to top it all, it was over 23$ a plate!! Dont waste your time or money! SOOOOOO NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!! Also the service was slow and to top it off, we both got sick after spending the evening in a drafty "bar" disguised as an expensive restaurant.
I expected much better from this restaurant based on their website. High prices and elegant preparation usually means quality food and good ambiance. What I received on my 16th anniversary night was poor service, average food and karaoke night as a backdrop. We told them it was our anniversary, and still had to ask for a decent table.
If their website had mentioned it was karaoke night, we never would have gone there. Because we wanted the smoking section, we had to sit in the bar side of the restaurant. We dined as the would be singers wailed and screeched away.
The stuffed mushrooms were tough, and the portion sizes on the salad and soup were very small. The food was not presented on the plate as shown in the pictures. Make no mistake, this is a bar pretending to be a restaurant.
On the plus side, the view of downtown Norfolk was great, and we enjoyed our walk down the pier. Maybe a better place for lunch or late night appetizers instead of a romantic evening out.
Company treated us right this year at the Christmas party. Heavy hors d' oeuvres for party but we stayed for dinner and had a surf and turf special and it was out of this world. New York strip cooked to perfection with scallops blackened just right. We will be back. A great find.
Went to company christmas party and wow what a view. Food was excellent. Company had mostly heavy appetizers, but I can't wait to go back for dinner, perhaps a New Year's place to celebrate. Give this one a try.
The seafood served here is very good. It is located at the end of a fairly long pier with stairs to take you up to the restaurant were the view is very pretty. That said, I found the service only fair and the atmosphere poor. I felt like I was interfering with the employees gossip time. I'm in no hurry...
look up this restaurant under the new name for accurate info. It has been through transitions and is on the way back.
This needs to be updated. This location has hosted some very unremarkable restaurants in the past. Finally, we have something to brag about. 757-CRAVE on the Harbor took over this place late last year, and it is our favorite place. Mostly, because we can go by boat. But the food is great. The daily menu of shrimp/fish baskets, wraps, crab...
Came here with my wife for a meal. Saw the food people had at the table and wasn't impressed. Then when getting the menu and seeing the ridiculous over priced food. We left to find a new place to eat. Restaurant may have a nice view but it's basically made on the pier for people in their yacht's to get...
If there was option to post a Neg Star that would better suit.!!!!Soo Disappointed X3!!!1st Visit: Went in for advertised seafood special -none of seafood options advertised were available...
Stayed at the Marina on a trip South, the Marina facility was excellent as you enter the Bay and near the beginning if the ICW. The dining was convienet and there may be better places to eat near by.
We chose the Deck Restaurant to host our rehearsal dinner because of its great location on the Elizabeth River and great food. We wanted to have a more casual dinner, so we chose to have BBQ pork, potato salad, cole slaw, and all the fixings. Everyone thought the food was absolutely delicious, and the scenery was amazing. They were able to meet our requests and were very helpful in recommending...
We chose The Deck for our wedding reception because of it's beautiful location on the Elizabeth River. After speaking with Kevin Young, the manager, I knew this was the place for us. Nothing uptight, very flexible, and wonderful food. Though we couldn't fulfill the desire for an outside event due to the rain, the staff accommodated over 100 family and friends in their dining room upstairs with...
We were so happy to choose the Deck Restaurant for our rehearsal dinner venue. The food was excellent and the value was great. The location overlooks the Elizabeth River and was within walking distance of the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel.
The view of the port is the best in the area, the service is very good. To get here drive into the dock parking area and walk past the boats.. If you have not been here before, it's worth the trip. The She Crab soup is amazing and anything Crab is great.
This place is close to the hotel and sits right in the middle of the marina so I thought - why not? You can choose from the deck, dining area or bar. I chose the bar for the A/C and view, both were great! I ordered a basket of hush puppies and the fried seafood platter. The hush puppies never...
I was at "half shells" today for a drink and was so dissapointed! A friend sat down and ordered a finer ale and certain vodka. The didn't have enough of. The vodka and said they were out of ginger ale. She asked for certain clams and they were out of them as well. So she ordered regular steamed clams which...
Chill little place for a Harbourmasters View of the River, Marina and Norfolk Waterfront....
Excellent Happy Hour Prices on food and drinks!
We had several items on the appetizer menu and they were all very good...we liked the Tuna Bites a lot!
Servers and Staff were Very Friendly!
Excellent Place to go if you want to relax and enjoy...
Went with a group. Ordered the Deck Benedict...texas toast (thin white bread toasted) crab (no crab was present) ham (deli meat ham) poached eggs (overcooked) hollandaise (very thin and runny) spinach (okay) When I brought their attention to the fact there was supposed to be crab, they went back to the kitchen and said they were sorry but the truck...
DO NOT HAVE A PARTY HERE BECAUSE THE OWNER WILL NEVER GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU....AND HIS MANAGERS HAVE NO SAY SO......I wanted 2 give my husband a SURPRISE birthday party at this establishment....I gave them a 2month notice....The managers At the Deck said everything was a GO!! sooo....I give out over 100 invitation to my family and friends.....2weeks before MY EVENT...I still havent heard...
My sister, brother-in-law and I decided to try Half Shells. We arrived at 7:45. We ordered chicken wings for an appetizer and placed our main order by 8:00. The chicken wings came out raw. We waited for about 15 minutes and never saw our waitress. So we asked another waitress to come over. Apparently our waitress walked off the job,...
Food was terrible! I ordered a burger which is difficult to get wrong... ordered medium rare and got a well-done burger. My wife had a seafood dish with overcooked scallops and overcooked vegetables. The service was slow; getting our meals as well as getting water and drink refills. Overall THE worst restaurant I have ever been to.
This is such a great location but they just can't seem to get it right. The service is slow and they are usually out of many things on the menu. The food is fair at best. This marina location deserves a good restaurant and for some reason no one can seem to make it work.
A group of us (8) had lunch here on a Tuesday,and we were all very disappointed with the food and service. We arrived at 1:30 in the afternoon and there was one other table of customers. There was only one waitress working and obviously she could not handle the eight of us efficiently. She took our drink order without even...
Old, smelly, overpriced and just not worth it. Upside, beautiful view of the Norfolk side.
We tried lunch at this restaurant inside of "Tidewater Yacht Agency Marina" yesterday. What a dump! Their kitchen is ill prepared to handle more then 5 tables at a time. They ran out of french fries, tuna steaks and a half dozen other food items. How does a restaurant run out of french fries in the middle of lunch??? I...
This place is awful. They changed the name last week to try to escape their reputation, but the management is the same. We were there recently with several friends and it took forever to get our food.
It was ok, I will visit again the staff was friendly. The table cloth was dirty. the drinks came out with the straw already in it. The appetizer was over priced for the portion. we had crab balls. the burger was served with just cheese . My daughter has a shrimp basket it only had 6 shrimp. The fries were...
This restaraunt was not worth the $250 we spent between 6 people. The food was either cold or tasteless.
Arrived with a friend with intent to have dinner. The prices were high and the smell of cigarettes from the adjoining bar made us decide to stick with appetizers only. The cajun tuna was a good-sized portion but it was way too salty. The ladies had crab soup which was rich and large. They ordered a cup but the waitress...
Set out in the middle of marina. A great view of the harbor. The food is basic, but good. Okay for a basic lunch or some social time with friends.
Our trip to The Deck Restaurant this time was a disappointment. We love the atmosphere but the food and service are enough to make you not want to come back. We sat in the bar area (which is smoking), we ordered Seafood Dip and Fried Scallops (appetizers), Crab Au Gratin/Grilled Rare Tuna (Entrees) - Our appetizers were put in the...
Our only problem was that service was a little slow, but we were not in a hurry. The food was excellent. It was too cool for the deck but the view was good. My seafood combo (shrimp, scallops, oyster, fish and crab cake)was tender and delicious. My husband enjoyed his broiled tuna.
Heard about this restaurant wanted to give it a try because it was right on the water and thought it would be great for a romantic evening and I love fresh seafood.I walked in and found old dingy tables but still remained optimistic because it was on the water. I ordered the oysters and the catch of the day this...
ordered steamed crablegs, clam chowder, and seafood nachos. I couldn't even eat the soup b/c it tasted like they chopped potatoes threw in canned clams and swished it with salt and lukewarm water. Worst seafood nachos. The only edible item was the stemmed crab leg but served w/o shelling tools.
The restaurant owner refused to honor the restaurant.com certificate due...
I'm sort of surprised by the mediocre review this place has gotten on here. My mom took me here for a birthday lunch and I thought the place was overall pretty excellent. The seafood was fresh and…
I was invited to a networking event at The Deck after work, and headed over to Old Town Portsmouth from downtown Norfolk on the Paddlewheel Ferry. It was nice meeting place for cocktails, because we…
Drove 45 minutes to try a waterfront restaurant. Dirty everything, even the hostesses shirt. She looked like she had been doing the cooking. I ordered a flounder sandwich and fries for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The flounder was lost on the bun. If I wanted a bun, I would have went to the bread store. Tiny, tinee piece of...
Aside from the nice view, absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever seen. The service was horrible, the wait staff tried hard but basically they had no clue when it came to customer service in a restaurant/bar setting. The fact that the kitchen couldn’t keep up with their orders didn’t make their job any easier. It took forever to get...
Not a fan of this place. Have been there twice now (both times in January) and it's just okay. With more places downtown to try, I won't be going back to the Deck. The food takes forever to arrive if you're in a group (we had ten). Mine was cold tonight when it arrived, and they ran out of shrimp before 7:00. Half our group had to make subsitutions on our orders.
First time going to this restaraunt in a very long time and I guess they changed cooks since then. I knew that it would be pricey but had no idea that the portions would be so small and even worse the food was very bland to very bad. Also service was extremely slow. Save your money.
What made this trip special is that we went to the site of restaurantdotcom and found them...we went for lunch, had our gift certificate that we purchased through the site I just mentioned...great deal FYI, and wow, were we treated well. We showed up right when they opened...best seat in the house, loved the view, friendly and professional staff, and the food was very very good! It was just a wonderful day and we never expected anything like it. Can't wait to return. Two thumbs up.
Pros
+ Quality food, great staff, what a view!!!
Cons
- It would be great if they baked dessert fresh...
Nice place for a girl's night out! Went on a Monday night- NOT BUSY! We were not rushed, had good service, food was delicious! thoroughly enjoyed ourselves- beautiful view! Delicious NY strip with…
Ah, mediocrity, The Deck is your home.For so much potential, The Deck is a waste. Fantastic setting, on top of the store at Tidewater Marina, it has wonderful views of the Naval Hospital and downtown…
Went here for a ladies night out dinner last month. It was a quiet weekday...
I had not been to the Deck since I was a child and looked forward to our dinner there last week. The service overall (including being seated) was suboptimal. The tablecloths were dirty. My flounder was mealy and inedible. The snow peas were stringy and also inedible. My husband did not finish his clam soup (a first). The hot rolls...
my wife and family came over to pickup order..local guy recomened it..went it on friday nite around 830pm and the place was empty. 6 people total..I told my wife that is odd i have yet to see a great restaurant not have anyone there on a friday nite. Maybe we got lucky..boy was i wrong. we were very hungry and...
nice place to have happy hour.
Don't go here. Ever. My boyfriend made reservations for Valentines day. We get there and are not seated for a full 10 minutes with no explanations. We sit down and wait another 15 minutes for anyone to come to take drink order. We place our order (the menu was a 4 course meal for Valentines Day). We wait another 15-20...
Took 30 minutes for a caesar salad, which was warm, with soggy croutons. I also ordered an appetizer side of fried oysters, which after asking the waitress 3 times if they were still coming out, eventually had to cancel the order after an HOUR AND A HALF WAIT!! I was with a party of 12 for my birthday, and we were the only table on the floor. They could not have been that busy!
2 others at...
Good food, a little pricey but a fabulous view.
When no one is there on a Saturday afternoon...you should probably just walk out....luckily we split an entree, but the salad was $6.95 for just a side salad. We ordered a "sampler" with oysters, shrimp and some kind of very fishy tasting fish that we couldn't identify nor actually want to consume. It just wasn't good at all...nothing about it...
Nice view. Nice for a date. Pretty good food, but pricey.
During our stay at the Holiday Inn on the waterfront in Portsmouth we walked over to the Deck Restaurant one evening located in the Tidewater Yacht Marina next door. We arrived early about 5:00 and had no trouble getting a table. The front part is a bar and the restaurant wraps around the kitchen toward the back. Large windows frame...
I had reservations here for dinner on New Years with my boyfriend. The restaurant is located within the marina so you have an excellent view of Norfolk and it is romantic at night especially. The food was delicious. However, we had the worst service ever. They put a brand new waitress on New Years! It took her close to an...
