Outstanding food, great chef!

The unfortunate closing of Sterling's Steakhouse has allowed Wane to show what he is truly capable of!

My wife and I went for dinner. The owner was rude to both of us. Our waitress did not know what side items came with each meal.
Terrible experience. Glad they are closed.

No. Just no. Please let me start by saying that I'm not the kind of person that sends food back or overly complains about their dining experience. I have worked as a waitress and I am familiar with customer care and the food industry, so it's not like I'm some type of bratty customer. Anyway, we were looking for a...

We had passed this restaurant many times and never stopped. We finally stopped and we were pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was excellent and the owner came by the table to welcome us and see how our meal was. My wife had the salmon and I had the rib eye. Both were excellent. I know that it is hard getting into...

I'll start out by saying that our waitress, Erin, was excellent. She did everything correctly and in a timely manner, it's not her fault the food wasn't that great.
We started with the Cubano spring rolls, which were very tasty(if a little greasy and a very small portion). The sauce served with the rolls was a very bland honey mustard...

I have been here before and loved it. Went again for a private affair on the 12th. Let me just say..wow! You will have the hardest time trying to decide what to order on their menu! It all sounds so good, but just sit back, relax and wait to hear the evening's specials For appetizer, I had oysters rock and...

We visited on a Friday evening, which is a busy time for every place in Chesapeake. After waiting we got a table . The waitress was young and inexperienced but cheery. The crab corn soup was very good but the crab cakes were the worst I have ever had!! So bad that I won't give this place a second try.

They served some awesome appetizers for a booked wedding. Shrimp kabobs were perfectly spiced. Jalapeno chicken was not hot but just tasty. Oyster Rockafella was great but just needed a splash of hot sauce to make it terrific. The filet was terrific even if served just medium rare.

It's so nice to have a local dining option in Chesapeake that has excellent food and ambience. I've never been disappointed with any entree! The chef and staff are very personable and go out of their way to make your dining experience pleasant and memorable. It's a great restaurant for a ladies' night out, book club, or special occasion.

After reading the reviews decided to give it a try. Not much to look at on the outside but very nice inside. Great menu selections, more in the $20-$27. dollar range. The review must have been for the lunch menu. Anyway, that said, I would not go back because it smelled like a stale ashtray in the place, too bad....

This restaurant is fantastic for date nights and number one in Chesapeake in our opinion! My husband and I barely get out and when we do we always come back here either on a date or with friends. We really consider ourselves food snobs but there is nothing on this menu that has disappointed us so far...It's DELICIOUS! It's just...

Having been "invited" to have dinner somewhere other than home (as a consequence of my wife hosting her bunco group at our house), I headed down the street to Julieann's for a bite. Although my intent was to enjoy a bistro burger and a beer (& stay away from home for an hour or so), I got diverted by the...

Once again a wonderful meal and evening at Julianne's! Great meals, fantastic specials...lobster spring roll was amazing. Ribeye, cooked to perfection. Crab cakes off the hook...no filler! Gluten free!!! Very friendly staff. To the person that didn't get olive oil...just ask and you shall receive!

Loved Julianne's a couple of years ago as we passed thru Chesapeake. No so much this time. Online menu has not been updated to reflect the actual menu. Also some of our favotites from last visit that I was yearning have been removed from the menu. It was very quiet for a Friday night. Lots of their wine selection was...

We stopped at Julieann's on a weeknight - it was very quiet. The service was efficient and personable. They have an attractive dining room which might be noisy when the place is crowded. Our meals (frutti de mare and a roasted cod special) were very good, and we found an interesting wine on the wine list. We enjoyed our meal,...

We dine out often. Finding good restaurants in Tidewater is a challenge, but we have a few on a rotating list of the best. Our first visit to Julieanns a few months ago was nice and our dinners were good enough to warrant a return visit. Last evening we drove an hour from the Peninsula to Great Bridge with great...

Loved the setup inside the restaurant, very relaxed and comfortable decor. Don't judge this place from the outside! Tried appetizer, entree and desert. Some of the food was excellent and some good. Quite a pricey place but you get what you pay for. Service was excellent, professional and efficient. The owner/chef came out and introduced himself which was a nice...

I have driven by this place for years and had no idea that a good restaurant lurked behind its very modest exterior. We enjoyed the wild mushroom ribeye which has blue cheese - it was cooked to perfection; and the flounder imperial which was also cooked perfectly. This a restaurant where you enjoy wine with the food and not beer....

We shared the calamari and could not eat all of it for fear of not being able to eat our entrees. I had the Salmon and...

Not much curb appeal, but go in anyway, trust me. We went out with friends and were determined not to go to a chain restaurant. Encouraged by the excellent reviews, we were not disappointed. Service was impeccable, food was even better. I need to go back soon to try the rest of the menu!

Great Atmosphere and Delicious Food

I have seen several restaurants go in and out of this location and am happy to have a place that is doing so well. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is delicious. There is a wide variety of selections so a perfect place for a large party but quaint enough for a romantic dinner.

The atmosphere alone is amazing. I enjoyed being able to meet the chef (who is an owner) as well as his partner. The food was outstanding and the service was nothing less than that. I will definitely be coming back.

We tried Julieann's on Saturday night. The food was excellent and the prices were not unreasonable. Where we found Julieann's lacking was on atmosphere. The place really lacked a feeling of intimacy for two people at dinner. First of all, they seemed to be seating all of the couples back near the kitchen. The restaurant would also benefit if they...

As in fine wine is placed on the top shelf for sale, Julieanns is on the top shelf of restaurants in South Hampton Roads.
The atmosphere is elegant and clean. I always check the restroom for cleanliness. I feel if the owner can't keep the small restroom clean, then they can't keep the large kitchen clean and sanitary. I was...

Visited this restaurant twice this month. Once for girls night out and with my husband for our anniversary. Thoroughly enjoyed it both times. First time I had a chicken soup which was delicious. For a main course I chose the wild mushroom ravioli. I had a choice of sauces for that and choose the marinara. It was great. The marinara...

Everything about Julieanns At The Lochs is teriffic! Great food, friendly staff, nice decor. Chef Wayne always finds time to stop by every table, every night and make sure everything was to the guests liking. Julie works the front of the house like nobody! Together with the rest of the staff, they have made Julieanns a winner!

Top notch service from co-owners Wayne and Julie and did I mention over-the-top food? I love the cubano eggrolls! And ask about the specials! Even something basic like the burger is a total treat.

A must try if you are looking for fine dining in Great Bridge.
Passed by it most days on way home from work and never thought to stop since this is about the 5th restaurant to occupy that building and all the predecessors weren't very good.

We started with the Cuban egg rolls and after the first bite, we figured we were on to a good thing. The flounder over risotto with roasted vegetables was so good, I didn't want the meal to end. Admittedly, the place looks so plain from the outside, but trust me, don't that deter you. Go!

OK, it's already ranked #1 so why bother to write a review? Well, when we have great and unique food, with excellent service, we write about it! We live in Norfolk and to be honest would not travel to Chesapeake for food - who needs chain/corporate food served by workers who could care less - we can go to Virginia...

We were traveling through Chesapeake VA from PA and ate at Julieanns. This place was amazing. We ate there with four other friends and our meals were out of this world. The food was Great! I just wished we lived there so we could dine there more often. Don't miss this place.

This pains me to write this review but I feel I must. Hopefully, the owners will see this and take it as constructive criticism. I want to support local restaurants over chains and when our local newspaper gave Julieann's glowing reviews this week, we quickly made a reservation for 4.

Traveling on business and selected this spot due to the Trip Advisor reviews. So glad we did!! We would have driven right past it without the reviews. The food was excellent.

We found our way to Julieanns last Thursday night thanks to Tripadvisor reviews. What a great find! All four of us had really memorable meals ... perfectly seasoned, creative, and expertly prepared.

Based on the reviews we thought this was guaranteed to be a great meal, absolutely not the case. The server seemed annoyed when we inquired about the beer selection.
