Foggy Point Bar And Grill

The food itself was magnificent - service, eh, not so much. The waitstaff are severely untrained (my waitress/the bartender literally left the bar for 15 mins without checking back on me- and I even walked around the bar area to search for her, and couldn't find her. I was like, does anyone work here??)The Roasted Brussels Sprouts were perfection- crispy, but not too oily, sweet from the dried cranberries, and tang from the goat cheese.The next night I got the seafood special, which was a blackened Wahoo atop sticky coconut rice (exploding w/flavor) and my third night staying at this hotel I got a simple House Salad w/ chicken since I wasn't too hungry. I opted for olive oil and vinegar on the side as my dressing to avoid their seed-oil ridden pre-made dressing.As another reviewer mentioned, the tables were always sticky/somewhat dirty, and some nights there was competing loud music from the live guitarist indoors and the electronic-dance music blasting outside, since the door was open. It makes me sad to only give this place three stars since the food was outstanding, but there's plenty room for improvement on overall experience.

Pretty nice hotel bar. Wait staff were all very friendly. Martini was a bit weak, but, all in all, a nice place for a quick drink.

The restaurant is inside the Renaissance Hotel in Portsmouth Virginia right on the riverIt's pretty much what you would expect from a hotel restaurant fairly standard menu and everything of just a few dollars more than they should beGreat waitstaff and very friendly bartender's that are highly attentive and provide great serviceThe she crab soup is really good one of the best around and I personally like the short ribsLikely not a place you're going to drive to especially since now they have valet parking at $19 overnight or $10 for short term but maybe worth taking the water taxi over from downtown Norfolk for something different especially if you want to come for a beer and light snacks

FOGGY POINT BAR & GRILL(Inside the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel)Is the OLDEST Hotel in the entire city of Portsmouth. We did not plan on going specifically to this location after dinner, although I did wish to take my Sweetheart to some place special for Veterans Day. And I just love to go to two different places (one for our main course, and another location entirely for dessert). The FOGGY POINT BAR & GRILL, was romantically located on Ocean Dr. right on the water. Dessert was an adorned chocolate cake, rich and fluffy (not heavy like cheese cake). The decor was so beautiful, as we cuddled up on a soft, round leather loveseat. A fireplace all to ourselves, and antique paintings that seemed to echo from days long past.

Excellent food. Great atmosphere. Exceptional customer service. I am sorry I was unable to enjoy the full extent of the restaurant.

Inside the Renaissance Hotel by Marriott. Hotel is nice; rooms recently renovated. Bar/Grill is a complete catastrophe from start to finish. One of my worst experiences "all time" with a venue associated with the Marriott brand. Just awful! Bar area is filthy and sticky. Staff is apathetic, rude, and untrained. Trust me on this, go somewhere else for drinks/dinner!

Stayed in renaissance hotel and thought I would try this restaurant. Everything was excellent. Food presentation and taste were wonderful. Staff and chef were great.

When I go to Norfolk for travel I stay at the Renaissance in Portsmouth. It's a nice big place with a short shuttle ride on a ferry to Watersides. The restaurant is awesome. The chef is A plus. He will actually create a meal for you if he has the ingredients. Service is awesome. Tonight Zoe was my server and she was dialed in. This is a great restaurant in old Towne Portsmouth that I really love. The view is second to none. The food is fresh and zesty.

Hear me out! The food is great, the chefs are amazing! I love to come sit by the fire and have a drink, the reason I'm giving 1 star is because it's roach infested, the couches are cloth and look like they've never been steam cleaned, I've even told them about the roaches, they're all behind the bar on the glass, on the seats your sitting in, I wouldn't put my bag down in there you might take a roach home, they don't care I went back months later and seen roaches in the same spots it's disgusting

We were guest at the hotel, beautiful views, clean rooms, nice staff! But back to the restaurant, specifically breakfast, was great! Our waitress Shawn was very pleasant! The buffet style breakfast did not disappoint at all! Everything was fresh, best fruit I've had from anywhere (melons were ripe & sweet, not bland & stale). Pancakes were perfect! Wish we would have eaten dinner, will be back to try!
