This was the 2nd time I have been for Sunday brunch. My family went in honor of my mom who used to dine at Tradewinds each birthday until we lost her on Christmas Day 2 years ago. The food, the wait staff, and the environment were amazing. We'll definitely visit for Sunday brunch again.

Even though it was our 41st wedding anniversary, there was no celebration. We wanted a reservation at 5, but open table said there were no tables available. When we got there only 1, yes, 1 person was in the restaurant. 18 year old server Nick was wonderful, but was recommending sandwiches for our supper. We ordered seafood. Wrong choice. For a whopping $23.00 I got frozen, stuffed shrimp, by...

After 20+ years we will not return. Service has reached a new low. (think none). food now sub part and no selection. Was a nice quiet place. This visit a loud band that was pure agony to listen to. The only thing they could not down grade is the view. But after dark is of little value. Sorry ...this was our go to place bye bye.....

Went for Valentine's Day dinner. Food was very good however the service was extremely slow. Our waitress and all the staff were very pleasant but had to ask for plates for appetizer, refills on water, never offered any other drinks or refills after we asked, and waited 20 minutes just to get our bill. Beautiful view of the ocean!!! However, it was a restaurant thrown into a hotel banquet hall....

We're party of 3 there because it was my husband's birthday on Valentines. We made the reservations for 9.30 am , because the rest of schedule was booked till 12noon. Restaurant could have shared when cofirming that the brunch didn't open till 10. The service was excellent and the food was great when we finally go to eat. Not all staff were at their station, so we couldn't get the sushi.

This restaurant is always a just miss. We made our reservations about 5 days in advance. We came for the brunch and the view of the Chesapeake Bay for our out of town guests to enjoy. When we were seated, we were directed to the only table next to a wall with no view. The hostess told us that was what they could give us, even though the dining room was less than half full. We refused, so our...

I assumed that it was a much nicer restaurant than I got when I arrived. We were definitely over dressed in a dress and nice button down. The service was slow and did not come across as friendly. My wine that i ordered came with what looked like sand in the bottom of my glass; I was told they were crystals that form naturally in that type of wine, but crystals would only form if the wine was...

First the good; quantity and variety. Now the bad: service,quality,wait time and pretty much everything else! Have been here for brunch several times but had not been for a while and can only say that it has definitely slipped from what it once was. So there you have your trade off; if you want a lot of food and don't care about the quality or service this is for you-but be prepared for the...

Our reservation was pushed back an hour because of an earlier party. Only a two hour notice was not quite long enough to change the rest of the plans for the evening . Not that it would have helped anyway . Our server was so busy with other tables inside and all of the tables outside . Though he did a good job , he definitely needed some help as it took forever to get refills on our drinks and...

This restaurant was once in years past the elite brunch, however April 26th not so much. For roughly $30 a plate you get cold unattended food, poor service, with waiters openly debating on taking on new customers.

The view of the ocean is awesome. The place is a bit outdated and upkept for such a nice real estate location. Yet, they did serve good food for a fair price. Loved the seafood platter. Steak was overcooked. Server was very accommodating. We will visit again!

We tried one of their "lite entree's" for dinner on this occasion. I must say it was a smaller plate but there was still plenty of food. We enjoyed the ribeye steak, which came with vegetables and roasted potatoes. They were both very delicious. We look forward to our next visit.

when you are paying $30 for sunday brunch, you expect deveined shrimp that is not overcooked! Also, last seating is at 2 pm so why when my party arrived at 1:30, does my made to order omelet come out of plastic bags?

the Halibut was first-rate. One of our diners had a broiled seafood platter that was well prepared.prices are reasonable. The view is excellent.

Well, I liked it. Sunday brunch, with a group of friends celebrating our HS reunion. They happily accomodated us with a special table. The buffet was awesome and a good value for $27. Omelette station, sushi station, roast beef carving station, steamed shrimp, oysters on the half shell, smoked salmon, and the usual breakfast fare. The she-crab soup was good. The doughnut machine was a big hit....

Great view was the only thing going for this place. The service and food was horrible and not worth the 2 hours they made us wait during our time there waiting on food and service. Don't count on this place unless you want something to ruin your day.

Pretty, but . . .. After weeks of Sunday morning persuasions, I finally succumbed to Tradewind's Sunday Brunch. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by the ambiance of the place . . . particularly due to its setting on the beach and the huge glass window that allows you to look out across the water. The service started and ended well and the orange juice tasted fresh squeezed; though I...

Our first visit to VA Beach and we chose Tradewinds for dinner. We enjoyed the great view and service but the food was below average.
