Off The Hook Seafood Chophouse Norfolk

This is a lovely upscale restaurant. The food was outstanding, and our waiter, James, was fantastic. He informed us about the specials and drink options available. It was my first visit, but my sister-in-law and her husband had been here a few times before. After we placed our orders, they served us delicious hush puppies. I had the shrimp and grits, which were exquisite. We will definitely return on our next visit!

So I had the seared tuna for an appetizer and the crab stuffed salmon with fingerling potatoes and risotto. The tuna was fresh and tasty but it was cut a bit thicker than I'd like but that's a minor issue. The salmon and the potatoes and risotto was all cooked perfectly, my only complaint is that it was all under seasoned and a bit underwhelming. The inside and atmosphere was very modern and chic. Not a bad experience, just the food needed a bit more love.

Food is good and consistent for the most part. The reason I give three stars is because service will vary. I have visited and had servers that are are somewhat rude and/or not attentive even when it isn?t busy. Other times I have had amazing servers. All and all I like this place but training for servers needs serious work to have consistency across the board.

The atmosphere at the restaurant is lovely, and I had high hopes that it would be reflected in the food. Although it wasn’t terrible, my chicken was overly dry, and I could almost count the number of fries I received. I was quite hungry, and that small portion of fries just didn’t cut it. It could have been due to it being a slow day, so perhaps they weren't at their best.

My friend took me out to dinner after a rough week. When we entered the place looked gorgeous. We were seated immediately as she made reservations. However, our waitress took a rather long time to arrive and greet us. Then we asked her about drink recommendations and got nothing. So we guessed and placed appetizer orders. She took very long in between to take our main entree orders. The waitress stated that the flounder was a special of the day. My friend and her daughter
