Gershwin's

I've passed this place many times over the years. Fiance decided to make a reservation for Valentines Day. We had a 5:30 reservation and the table the host put us was close to the door. We did NOT like that seat. Thankfully, we voiced our displeasure and were moved slightly further in. The seat wasn't much better but they brought us champagne on the house so I forgave them.This place is know for their cocktails, with good reason. I loved my cocktail and my fiance was impressed by their whiskey list.The food we ordered was good. The only thing we didn't like was their lobster bisque. I'm not sure what region that recipe is from but I've never see lobster bisque like that before. I do intend to return for more cocktails.

We got tickets to SIX tonight for opening night at Chrysler Hall, so we decided to have dinner At Gershwin's on Granby Street in the heart of downtown Norfolk.It was raining so I dropped my Wife off at the door while I parked the car. Fortunately, I was able to score a great spot across the street in the parking lot. I made a reservation so we were seated at a nice table in the back of the restaurant. I noticed several people dressed like they were going to a show, so maybe that's where they normally seat the attendees.The menu has changed quite a bit since our last visit so the only thing that I found that looked good was the Pork Chop. We both decided to order that and we were not overly pleased. It tasted dry but the sides were quite good. The service was excellent but I doubt that I'll be coming back again.

This piano bar is a must visit when in Virginia. The food was so delectable, the service was absolutely out of this world! We were a bachelorette party of 8 which meant we were running a little late to dinner! Toni and Marcella truly went above and beyond for us to ensure an amazing evening. The ambiance is fit for a night on the town, dress to impress and let Gershwin's do the rest!

Had a date night here recently, and the atmosphere was great for that - dim lighting, fancy chandeliers, and lovely live music. The service was amazing too - our server was wonderful and sweeg, and even other staff not assigned to us were very nice and helpful. The food itself was just less than stellar - flavorless escargot appetizer, mid crab dip, and very sour French onion soup with a bold statement of being the best in the state...not even close. Our favorite things were the mushroom ravioli with a side of grilled chicken, and the chocolate martini I had for dessert. The place is quite small, so make a reservation, especially if going on the weekend. Also parking downtown can be a bear - we ended up paying $15 at a parking lot directly across the street.

Stopped by for drinks after dinner with my boyfriend, and it's honestly the most romantic spot we've been to in a while. The live piano music creates such a great vibe, making you want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was also top-notch, 10/10. We didn't try the full menu, but we did have the flourless chocolate cake, and can I say-YUM! Definitely need to come back and try the food next time.

I've always heard good things about Gershwin's so I looked forward to the opportunity to try it out for myself. I sat at the bar with one other person. This was on a Sunday evening so it wasn't busy. We were quickly seated and served. There's a pretty good mocktail selection. I asked the waitress which one she preferred and she suggested the Cinderella. It was okay. Nothing particularly special. I'll try something different next time I'm there. However, the crab mac and cheese was on another level! Definitely one of the best restaurant mac and cheeses I've ever had. Perfect flavor and generous with the crab meat. It's on the appetizer menu so I don't wasn't expecting it to be so good. I'll definitely be back for it specifically!

Gershwin's has a beautiful atmosphere and beautiful decor- however, the food left me in want of just a tad bit more... I will say that the drinks were fabulous. I just think the food is a bit overpriced for what it is. The short ribs were just.. not what I was expecting... They were out of the lamb that I wanted to try (not anyone's fault, of course)...maybe I'll come back to try it. I liked our server, service was good.

I had an amazing night at Gershwin's. I love the decor and the vibe . They had cool jazz playing in the background. I just went in for the Valentine's Day drinks. They had some really fun options to choose from. I chose the Cupid Spritzer one. It was a nice drink , pink, and with a heart shaped strawberry. Service was great, everyone was super nice . Place was clean and organized. The place wasn't too crowded. I really got opportunities for some fun pictures . I recommend this place if you want something different and fun!

Super cozy bar with a cool vibe. They have live jazz music or piano sometimes. The large long bar is very pretty which is where we have sat a couple times. We only got a drink this time but it was good. They have lots of different bourbons and whiskeys. I have never had food but it looks good. A great place to grab a drink!

I have been to Gershwin's before and was excited to bring my husband to celebrate our anniversary. They offered us complimentary champagne and had special heart shaped napkin holders which was a special touch.The waiter and bar was fantastic. Food service took way too long. We chose food from the show menu and were there at 5:20pm. We didn't receive our entree till 7:25.Food was good but we had to eat it so fast in order to make our show. Very disappointed since I really like this restaurant.
