Restaurant at the Founders Inn features fresh seafood, prime beef, lamb and pork dishes served in an intimate fireside setting.
Went to the Swan Terrace after a wonderful stay at the Founders Inn. Food was delicious and very affordable. I really like the ambiance in the restaurant. I would like to go again. It took a while for us to be greeted initially but once we were greeted, the service was consistent.
I have eaten in the Swan Terrace before without any problems. But tonight they weren't on their game. My boss and I had dinner tonight in the Hunt Room. My boss ordered the "Best Meatloaf Ever" and I had their Hunt Room Burger. Both of our dishes were cool,as if they took our orders on a long journey to our...
Two weeks ago today, my husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day dinner at the Swan Terrace Restaurant at The Founders Inn. I love this place! We held our small wedding reception here 17 years ago, spent our first night as husband and wife in one of the hotel's beautiful guest rooms, and often bring friends and out-of-town guests to the...
This was one of the best full gourmet buffets we have had, reasonably priced. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared by a first-class chef with first class service. We sat in the recessed dining area by a roaring fireplace, outside was frigid with sparkling golden lights for a view. We'll be back and highly recommend it to our friends for a...
I had Valentines Dinner at Swan Terrace and Never have I had a Meal As exceptional as this 5 course meal ..From the Appetizer all the way to the dessert was outstanding .I consider myself as a Foodie and I can tell you this meal was Quality!!!And well put together. I would of easily paid
much more than the 129.00...
Wow. I am so impressed right now. I just returned from New York City where I ate at some of the finest restaurants you can eat at – but this blows them away! Executive Chef Darren Scott has re-crafted the menu in such a way that will leave nobody disappointed. The best filet I have had in years! If you...
With Benham Brothers for 700 Club book reviews. Dinner at Swan Terrace is remarkable! fantastic. Can we say Michelin worthy? ***** Alveda King
The Swan Terrace chefs have been extremely accommodating when it comes to being Gluten Free. I have never had another restaurant want to please as well as Swan Terrace when it comes to my GF concerns. When making a reservation they ask if there are any dietary concerns (no other restaurant that I know of does this) and then you're...
If you spend two hours at this Sunday brunch you still would have food that you didn't have a chance to eat. Seafood, side of beef, salads, salads, salads, desserts everything you would expect and then some. Great. Best I have had.
Swan Terrace offers Sunday Brunch that can be considered one of the best in Hampton Roads. Although they accept walk-ins, to make sure you get a table, better call to make reservations. Sunday brunch is priced at 29.95 per person. But don't fret about the price, the selection is well worth it. During my visit with a friend, the buffet...
We stayed and dined here many times and were ALWAYS satisfied which is exactly the reason why we keep on coming back. BUT, this time was very different. Food was still great but the rest was an absolute disaster...
To start, there was nobody at the door so we sat ourselves as the staff who saw us standing there also...
It's a tradition, in our family, to have a stress free Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner at the Swan Terrace. We love coming here! The food is top notch, the staff is always excellent and helpful and easy to talk to, and the atmosphere is wonderful and sparkly - especially during the holidays. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!...
My husband and I arrived at Regent University for a conference this fall. We were hungry and tired. The restaurant was closing. We prefer vegetarian food and thought we would be eating crackers for dinner - not so! Amazingly, Chef Darrell made us an incredible vegetarian meal from a wonderful combination of fresh fall vegetables and a light teriyaki sauce...
Our company had a dinner party planned at one of the Founders' Inn Christmas events, but unfortunately the event was canceled, so the planners moved our group into the restaurant. While we were very disappointed over not being able to celebrate Christmas at was would have been a very festive dinner event, we were all very pleased with the way...
The breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs, real bacon and sausage, fried potatoes, oatmeal, grits, all my favorite cereals, homemade pancakes, made to order omelets, and delicious fresh fruit were scrumptious. And just when I thought I had been treated just enough--at lunch buffet there was a literal smoked pig carved to perfection, tasty sole in a red pepper sauce, turkey...
Have eaten at this restaurant more times than I can count. The staff is usually on top of things with efficient and friendly service. Dont visit during the holiday parties as service is very slow at this time. However the decor is simply beautiful and they do an excellent job of decorating for christmas. Go at night and get a...
We've had brunch here about four or five times and every time it is simply amazing! Great service and food selection. The decorations for Christmas added even more to the already pleasant atmosphere. Brought my wife for her birthday and the Chef was kind enough to bring out a special dessert for her. It's also my go to place when...
We also dined onThanksgiving...I'm shocked at the positive reviews, ours was quite the opposite. We have attended holiday meals here in the past but feel sure there has been a turnover. first, knowing we had a large party, 12,I called THREE times during the month to make sure our reservation was ok. Wee arrived, got called into the ballroom, waited,...
My wife and I have gone to the Swan Terrace at Founders Inn in Virginia Beach many times over the years especially for special holiday meals. This Thanksgiving was over the top!! The food was excellently prepared and presented nicely. The chilled seafood bar contained large raw oysters on the half shell, jumbo boiled fresh Bay seasoned shrimp, fresh chilled...
Had Thanksgiving here. Good food. Great, friendly, attentive staff. Band. Kids face painting. Charlie Brown movie playing for kids. Pricey.
My wife and an I were spending a weekend in Virginia Beach to relax and sniff some salt air. Friday evening we had dinner at the Swan Terrace and what an amazing meal it was!
The service was outstanding (thank you, Heather & Tyler!) and the meal was four star, No exaggeration, this compared to anything in NY or LA....
This restaurant here...super yummy! A bit pricey, but when the food is great, you don't mind paying for quality!! Well at least I don't.
The staff was super friendly as well. I met Chef Darren and he was such a pleasure. He even invited us back to try the Sunday brunch. How he described it, I wished Sunday was the...
My cousin and I meet yesterday for lunch at Founders Inn to celebrate our birthdays. We had decided to enjoy lunch at the Swan Terrace. It was a wonderful experience. We both enjoyed the chicken salad and to our surprise they served us a wonderful birthday dessert. What a way to make memories. Founders Inn has already started decorating for...
Quality, variety, presentation, service, atmosphere and location were great. We not only enjoyed but anticipated 4 days of meals 3 times a day at this excellent restaurant. Every meal offered something new and delicious for 2 people who enjoy a great steak or something more unusual. Presentation made choosing difficult. From the appetizer to the dessert everything offered was visually...
We had a delicious dinner with great service. Meals ranged from scallops to the beef brisket. The vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. The chef came around each table to check on every patron. I have not had this service before. I look forward to returning to this restaurant and hotel.
My husband and I are staying at The Founders' Inn and Swan Terrace restaurant is located within the I have to say that is one of the best restaurant experiences that I have ever had! I NEVER eat at hotel restaurants but in this case, even if you are not staying at the hotel, you have to come here and...
Hail to chef of the Swan Terrace! I recently attended a conference at the Founder's Inn. The food was the best food I have EVER eaten on the East Coast.
I only had breakfast, but it was buffet style and everything was really good. The stamers had to be turned on but outside of that everything was fine.
My wife and I have eat at some great restaurants in Virginia, But nothing Like the Swan Terrace, this is the best 5 star hidden secert in Virginia Bch. Its not only the food, Its the SERVICE, for the time you walk thru the door you are treated like a King. Hats off to the management and staff, I will...
The food was excellent. Good variety, good taste. Pleasant and attentive wait staff. They make an excellent, most and flavorful turkey. The beef brisket is excellent.
My husband and I have been dining at the Swan Terrace for over 20 something years. I know of no other dining venue in the Coastal Virginia area where the quality of the food, ambiance and 5 star service compare to this very lovely and unique restaurant. We particularly enjoy their daily lunch buffet. Chef Sean meticulously prepares dishes that...
The subdued atmosphere at Swan Terrace complements any special event. This was our 47th anniversary, and the seating by the window was perfect. Our waitress gave us personal attention and checked with the kitchen several times to get answers to our questions. Since we are vegan, it's hard to find meals beyond drab pasta. But the chef came through with...
The food is always amazing at the Swan Terrace. I usually order from the menu for breakfast since I would never be able to do justice to the gorgeous breakfast bar. Dinners have never failed to impress. The best ingredients handled with care and skill keep us coming back!
Swan Terrace is a wonderful venue to enjoy a relaxing lunch. The décor is lovely, and I always request a table with a view of the Founder's Inn beautifully manicured garden. Yesterday we saw two lovely brides being photographed before their wedding ceremonies. This was a day of truly joyful celebrations. My friend and I celebrated her 76th birthday in...
I recently had a 2 night stay at the Founders Inn. I've enjoyed breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner on both days in the Swan Terrace and the bar adjacent to it. The food for all meal periods was terrific. Wide assortment, many choices and also nice that they use a lot of local produce. The chef came out to check...
On the last evening of our vacation in Virginia Beach, my fiancé and I had dinner at the Swan Terrace Grill at the Founders Inn & Spa. The ten course meal was prepared by Sous Chef Darren Scott and his team. This special meal was absolutely delicious! We were presented with our own personalized menu. Each course was especially thought...
Swan Terrace is one of the undiscovered food places even locals might have not tried. Yes, it boasts of winning so many culinary awards, and yet, a lot of people have not tried the place. I am one of those until this month. And I must say, I am a fan. You should definitely try to visit this place and...
I went to Sunday Brunch at this restaurant for my Birthday. I received the best ever Happy Birthday Dessert. It was presented to me and made by their Sous Chef Darren Scott. It was delicious. It was a chocolate dipped strawberry on one side and a chocolate covered chocolate mousse-like dessert on the other side of the plate. Chef Scott...
We had a wonderful girls day out, stopping to have Saturday afternoon Tea at the Founders Inn, Swan Terrace. Staff was exceptionally friendly and was there at your beck and call. I would recommend for everyone to try this at least once (even if you don't like tea).
I liked everything that came across my lips at brunch and dinner. I really enjoyed the personal teapot you received when you ordered tea. Most times you are not given enough hot water but this allows you to have 2 nice hot cups
This is one of Hampton Roads best kept culinary secrets. With food from local farmers and a twist of high class excellence: the chefs at Swan Terrace are definitely doing something right. I'll let you in on a little secret: They have the best lunch buffett in town. When I say good I mean SUPERB!!!. Great staff, always wonderful professional...
My wife and I waited 7 years to dine here,
Food: slow-cooked brisket. Served with string beans and mashed 'taters. First, I expect my string beans to be SOMEWHAT firm, these were almost like they were barely thawed. In other words, HARD AS A ROCK. The brisket: Served as 3 strips. One strip had actual meat, which, yes, was tender....
As part of my work, I am always hosting clients for lunch and dinner. I can always count on Swan Terrace for excellent food, service, and ambience. Their food, whether from the menu or the buffett is always a fine quality, well presented, and delicious. This is my go-to spot and my clients always feel special when they are invited...
OK, here we go, my first negative review. Ouch! I stayed at the Founders Inn and ate 3 meals at the Swan Terrace Restaurant. Both breakfasts were great. For dinner I chose the 72 hour beef brisket and it was at least 1/3 fat. I know beef brisket isn't filet mignon, and it was tasty, but way too much fat....
I just felt that the menu needed more...it is a very grown up menu but I eat like a child and I was sort of stuck...I had a delicious Mahi Mahi (which is very grown up) but I would have killed for a hot dog or the option of something, anything that wasn't so fancy.
Great staff; varied, fresh and tasty food; 'Tuesday on the Terrace' is a must.
Evening time mid-summer on a terrace in Virginia can be warm, but just sit in the restaurant when you need to!
Me and my then girlfriend of three years went here on our 3rd Anniversary.
Let me start by saying the atmosphere is excellent. Beautiful surroundings made a strong first impression.
The food was nothing short of amazing. We both had the 72 hour smoked brisket and it was easily the best I've ever had. The chef came to our table...
I stayed several nights at the Founder's Inn for business and the on-site restaurant Swan Terrace was fantastic. Their buffet lunch provided hand-crafted soups that melt in your mouth, meat/fish dishes with succulent sauces and a great dessert selection. This was not your normal buffet. The restaurant has a bar area which provides a nice relaxing environment (with a pool...
I had another great evening at Swan Terrace! I continue to be surprised by the amazing events Swan Terrace comes up with. This time it was amazing night of learning about and sampling great beef dishes all paired with great craft beers. I can't wait until I get back again.
The Saturday breakfast was good with omelets made to order and not at all a bad deal for $14 each (oddly only a dollar less than the lunch buffet, though, which we didn't get to try), but the Sunday Brunch for $29 each was fantastic! Best cheese blintzes ever (with chocolate and raspberry sauces drizzled on them), and delicious pancakes...
My wife and I have always loved the place. Its Fathers day and we will be there today, to enjoy in the fun.
Nice place to celebrate a birthday.
Second time we go to this place and we still really enjoy it. Crab cakes are perfect !
I cannot wait to go back to the Swan Terrace. This was one of our best dining experiences since moving here from New York almost 4 years ago. The service was excellent,Rachel was the waitress,the ...
We came here for Valentines Day & was our first time here.It was truly anexperience.We arrived & were greeted w/a table of champaign & stuffed strawberries. We walked through the garden w/our cham...
Food was amazing. Very friendly and responsive wait staff. Would definitely return.
Spectacular Dining experince overall!! Fantastic Food, Atmosphere, service, etc.... This is a place I LOVE to dine as often as possible, especially for special occasions!!!!! ♥
Best place we have been to in a while...go while they have the Christmas decoration is still up. Visit the Spa which is AMAZING!
The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointing as it seemed to be more of an expanded continental breakfast. Choices on the buffet line included juices, fruit, oatmeal, toast, cereals, and a few hot entrees such as scrambled eggs, pancakes, meats, and potatoes. I have seen the majority of these items at an expanded continental breakfast. Besides the made to order omelets, there was not much of a...
Sunday brunch. We were the first to arrive at 11 am, but the dining room quickly filled up with the after-church crowd. The food was excellent...good selection of what seemed to be a New Orleans themed menu, including sauteed-to-order crabcakes, cajun salmon cakes, corn chowder, roasted porkloin, beef flank steak, oysters, steamed shrimp, and an array of salads and desserts. Service by a Regent...
We went here for one of their Pasta Buffet Thursday nights for $15.00 (I guess you get what you pay for). Quite possibly one of the worst pasta I've had in my life. I politely asked for Alfredo…
We went there on a Saturday and had their $15 lunch buffet. It was delicious! There were 3-4 salads, buttered asparagus, rice pilaf, pork tenderloins, braised beef (just melts in your mouth!) and…
We loved their Pasta night (every Thursday). Just $15 for adult and free for 12 years and under! There were many topping choices for pasta.Tiramisu was great.I'll definitely go back.
In recent years we have looked to The Founders Inn to cook our Thanksgiving dinner for our family and we love it! The menu is fantastically seasonal and it's served buffet style. It's quite likely…
I just had the most incredible lunch here...and it was vegan! Apparently if you call them ahead of time (as my vegan friend did), they will hook you up. The same is true with vegetarian or other…
I've been here several times and have always had a wonderful experience. Food- delicious, Wine- great, Dessert- yum!, Waitstaff- extremely friendly.Founder's Inn really steps it up when it comes to…
One word review of the Sunday Brunch. Meh.OK, if you insist on more. DW is out of town -- chance to go to the places I have to go alone -- like Sunday brunch places. Off to Founders Inn and the Swan…
The splurge here is definitely worth it. The food is freshly prepared and the selection is fantastic. It is fancy yet casual at the same time. A lunch outside on the terrace is one of the best ways to enjoy this restaurant!
The brunch is wonderful, but dinner here is worth the splurge. The chef does a great job of preparing fresh food with quality ingredients. The wine list is extensive and the desserts are amazing. The servers are always attentive.
