Nyada was great! We've been here for 5 days, the best service we've had since we've been here. Very personable, friendly, and spot on. Loved her, will come back because of her. Happy hour menu is good, worth a shot!
It was great!!!! Service was so friendly and once we found out they made their own Maker's it only got better. Good Food, Good Atmosphere and Good Staff. Not our first visit and it won't be our last!!!
Our family goes here for summer birthdays and it's always a hit with excellent drink, food, and top notch people watching.
Husband took me here for Valentine's Day. Ambiance was amazing. Next to the beach. Great for romantic dining. Service was great. The appetizer, artichoke dip, was delicious. The pan seared scallop lacked flavor. Was a little disappointed given the price. Will try this place again but will try something else.
Arrived on a Friday night during the off season, January 31. Seated immediately but before the dinner menu would begin with no crowd. Our server was quick, patient and efficient, I'm sad I didn't remember his name, but he said he hadn't worked there in a while or very often. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp from the raw bar as an appetizer, two pounds. Now, y'all know, I'm not a seafood eater, BUT, I tried the shrimp. They were big, puffy and tender...I had three, so THAT'S saying something!!!! The Honey Lavender Scented Salmon was nicely cooked and fragrant, She had the honey glaze on the side and if you don't like overly sweet salmon, I suggest you do the same and dip as you eat to control the sweet. Nice portion with whipped potatoes and broccolini. The Prime Angus Beef Filet was almost perfect as well as doneness as I prefer No Pink and the thicker portion was still slightly pink, even after I asked for it to be butterflied to help get it to my likeness. The roasted potatoes and broccolini were plentiful sides and well cooked. Over all a very enjoyable experience priced to keep the riff-raff out I guess but no real room to complain. This place is worth a try and for us, a revisit.
What a nice place to dine while in Va Beach. The restaurant is located in a Hilton. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant has a pretty expansive menu. The scallops were great. I also had the blacked rockfish as well. The portion was small, but the flavor was great It was served with wild rice and asparagus. The restaurant features a full bar. Also, the outside dining is great, too. Live music can be heard some evenings from the patio next door. Overall, it was a great meal and experience. I look forward to my next visit.
I've lived in Virginia Beach for 10 years and have always wanted to try Catch 31 so my daughter and I decided to dine in on a Thursday evening and I'm so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the interior was. Since we wanted to sit outside, we were told that the outdoor dining area was first come, first serve so we ventured outside to grab a table. I love how close the outdoor dining area is to the beach, the views were so nice! Our server, Nyada, was super friendly and helped us decide on what to order. My daughter ordered the Margherita Flatbread with a side of Broccolini and I decided on the Clam Chowder to start and the Pan Seared Scallops with a side of Truffle Mac & Cheese as my entree...along with a margarita, of course! The soup and the Margherita Flatbread came out fairly quickly! The Clam Chowder was amazing!!! It was very hearty with an abundance of clam pieces. The Flatbread was also just as good and very flavorful. The Pan Seared Scallops were cooked perfectly and paired wonderfully with the creamy orzo! I could not stop eating it! Unfortunately, the server forgot to put in the Truffle Mac & Cheese but since I was super stuffed, I was okay with that. Just another reason to return! The food at Catch 31 was definitely a 10/10!!! The margarita was also just as great! I highly recommend stopping in and trying their amazing food! I will definitely be returning!!!
