Anchor Bar And Lounge

The food is great. Mac Attack is very good. Service is on point and always attentive and kind. Great place to unwind before heading upstairs for the night.

So for a bar inside a hotel, this place has an awful lot going for it. First off, it's open yet cozy and decorated in a sea/beach sort of theme. Very inviting. Second, they have some INSANE happy hour deals! $5 burger? Yes please! And it was actually quite tasty! Some great drink specials and just generally a good vibe -- unlike some hotels where the wine by the glass is awful at happy hour, they had some nice choices on their menu. Since it's at the hotel, there are plenty of parking places.What wasn't great -- service. Our bartender seemed completely slammed and couldn't keep track of our orders appropriately. Maybe it was just our visit, maybe they were understaffed or something, but it was sort of off-putting that she blew past us several times in favor of other customers (maybe profiling us? Who knows. It was just weird). Also, I had a gift card, and on it, it did not indicate that you could not use it for alcohol. So I cashed in the entire $15, but it only applied $5 to my bill. The server could have just given me the $10 in cash that then I could use on my bill, but she didn't -- and there was no way to go back an retroactively un-use the gift card. So basically, I was just out $10 and still had to pay for my two glasses of wine. I guess now I know -- but it was still annoying that the staff didn't communicate that effectively to patrons.Based on all that, I might go back, but I'm also not jumping up and down to do it any time soon.

The anchor bar and lounge is a brand new restaurant located inside the new Delta Hotel on military highway in Norfolk VirginiaIt's a large restaurant with a well conceived menu open from 11 AM for lunch all the way to one in the morning every dayPrices range for a starter from six dollars for a cup of soup crab cakes around $12 lobster mac & cheese also at $12Salads are in the $10-$15 range if you add chicken or shrimp

Tired and really didn't want to venture out for dinner so I tried the hotel diner. The menu had changed greatly from what is currently available online. I ended up ordering the Delta Crabcakes. They weren't very big at all and the flavor bland. What was supposed to be a garlic aioli was simple mayo smeared on the plate. The "whipped potatoes" were a horrible combination of instant and boiled red potato skins. The veggies consisted of barely sautéed squash and bell peppers with over-sautéed onions and mushrooms. For $26 I should've door dashed.

This is a bar within the Delta Hotel by Marriott. The decor is nice and the furniture setup is inviting for anyone wanting to sit at the bar, a restaurant or even nice chairs for a semi-secluded date or work space. I was here for happy hour (4-7pm). The prices were very good and the bartender was very nice and engaging.

I enjoyed my time at Anchor Bar and Lounge like the decor and nice easy going Atmosphere.
