Sweetwater Cuisine

I'm giving 5 stars because the food is genuinely amazing. Everything tastes like heaven in your mouth. The chocolate dipped bacon cheesecake. Oh my. I don't even like bacon really, and this was spot on. I didn't get a pic of our entrees because we were too busy socializing, but here's one of our apps and dessert. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is intimate and quiet. It's a cool little place tucked away. Everyone that works there are very kind and sweet, but keep in mind that they do not hold normal restaurant hours. They are caterers for weddings and events. They are open for restaurant week and a few other occasions, as well as brunch sometimes. All in all, check this place out.

I didn't know if this was a restaurant, but Sweetwater Cuisine mostly does catering. They have an intimate venue that accommodates up to 70 people, based on the event I attended. There is an area set up for the food such as charcuterie, finger sandwiches, a fruit spread and drink station.There is little garden area you can view from the dining room that adds to the ambiance. The entry landscaping is very inviting like a cottage feel. There is a small bar area upon entry to the venue. They can provide an array of drinks for your event. They are located on virginia beach Blvd.

We had reservations at 11:45am and arrived maybe a minute late, and were not seated until 12pm despite there being an abundance of empty tables. The made to order omelets were included with the buffet, which was priced at about $40. My friend fell in love with the shrimp and grits and had about four servings, while another member of our party thoroughly enjoyed the bread pudding. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was a change from the normal restaurant scene, however I don't think I will be going again.

SOOO DISAPPOINTED! To start I had a reservation a week prior than Mother's Day and they cancelled our reservation the day before for an emergency. Forward to today which is Mother's Day. My husband made a 3pm reservation, we arrive 10 mins prior and was seated around 3:05. The setting is that of a house so you are in close proximity to everyone. Buffett style setup! Immediately I was turned off by the fact that there was no hand sanitizer anywhere in sight. Thankfully I carry. Everything on the buffet was almost out and/or cold. I guess they decided that the 3 pm reservations would just eat whatever was left. UNSAT! Don't book reservations that late if the food isn't going to be replenished and up to the same standard as it was when you just opened. Service was ok, they did the best they could. I'd say that the selection of entrees were ok, however preparation is everything! Especially on a Holiday when you know you're going to be booked. Multiple people were complaining about the same things I mention above. Cold food and empty dishes! I won't return bc first impressions are huge and for the amount of money we spent vs the quality of food, it doesn't add up! I came hungry and left hungry. Mimosa flight was ok. Oh and when we asked to speak to management, they sent the one AA server over to talk to us as well as every other AA table that had a legitimate complaint. SMH

I was here for restaurant week. I have been wanting to try this place for awhile so I am glad I finally made it. I believe that they are not an actual restaurant open 7 days a week. I believe it's more catering and maybe renting the space??? And Sunday brunch. They are right near Willis Furniture and there is parking. I liked the inside, they have a small bar area and outdoor patio. I did ask the hostess some questions but she knew nothing and said she only usually works Sundays. I was a bit disappointed in that answer. I ordered the house salad and shrimp and grits. I love that I could replace a drink for the dessert. I ordered the pineapple punch and it was delicious! I would go back just for that drink!! A little spicy, a little sweet....a perfect balance. The house salad was delicious and a good size. I got the shrimp and grits. Unfortunately it was way too salty. Almost couldn't eat it. I took home the leftovers and the next day ate a few bites but ended up throwing it away because of the saltiness. I couldn't taste anything but salt. Despite this I would definitely check them out again. There is no way this amount of salt is normal in their dishes. I do wish the hostess was able to answer my questions about the space. What if I was a prospective customer wanting information? And our waiter was very nice and helpful and answered all our questions.

Looove this spot!!! I remember having my baby shower here and the food was sooo good years ago. We had made reservations for Easter brunch and so glad we did. Everything was so cute from all the Easter decor with eggs hidden everywhere and bunnies and signs. They had their food stations outside in the hall and also inside once you walk in. It was all over the restaurant really which made it easy to get to and not be tied up with long lines or groups of people standing around waiting. During brunch they had a lot to choose from- mto eggs, omelettes, crepes, chicken, waffles, grits, shrimp n grits, salads, fruits, veggies. They had a lot. The dessert table had a ton of options too from cakes, cookies, brownies and my fave was the hot bread pudding, just wish they had ice cream to put on top of it. Lol. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Towards the end of our meal one of the staff members came to our table and told us that the kids can go pick out their Easter basket when they have finished eating. My kids were so excited!! It was so cute how they had Easter baskets for all the kids, inside it was filled with candy and a stuffed animal rabbit. Great restaurant, delicious food, and friendly people. Always love coming to this restaurant!!

Let me get right to the point...BREAD PUDDING. There, I'm done. That's my whole review! Yes, the chicken and waffles is epic; yes, the roast beef grits will make you cry out in sheer joy; yes every. Single. Thing is perfect...but that BREAD PUDDING will make you come come back to this post and agree with me...in fact, I will wait right here until you go to the Sunday brunch, eat the bread pudding and come back!!Hurry up, I'm waiting!

Sunday brunch for 2 please Jodie is awesome this establishment is so gorgeous. I loved the ambiance for sure. Buffet style with a variety of food options and very tasty. You need to call ahead or reserve your spot because it gets crowded and they also are closed on certain Sundays due to parties or etcI loved everything I tasted from breakfast to lunch They keep the buffet nice and hot and stocked up for sure. My favorite options were the Mac and cheese, salmon and rice and all t breakfast options available (I'm the queen of breakfast/brunch) also the dessert menu was on point. I really liked the chocolate pumpkin mousse. I definitely enjoyed my time and definitely can't wait to come back for more !!! Or have a small occasion here. If you are near town center area definitely try this place out!!!

The place set up is warmly. Rather than walking in your average restaurant it was set up like a hotel lobby and was more homely. The food was good; I like that they had turkey options because some restaurants don't. There shrimp pasta, shrimp and grits, and chicken was soooo amazing. The mimosa flight was great too. The ambiance was nice, the set up was cute. The food did run out quick and took a little time to refill. The busser dropped a dirty plate extremely close to someone in my party, thank god it didn't hurt her. The bathroom didn't have paper towels or a dryer in it. Our waitress was okay, she was slow with getting drinks and water; but she was very friendly and engaging. Would go back to try again

Need to improve their reservation process! Very unfair to customers. I called AND texted to make a large party reservation for Father's Day brunch a month in advance and was told I'd be put on a waitlist. I even checked back a few days later and was told again that I was on the waitlist. Now, just 4 days before Father's Day I finally get a text response that they couldn't accommodate me. If it was truly a waitlist and customers were given reservations based on first come first serve, then they should have known much sooner about whether or not they could accommodate my group. It shouldn't have taken 3 weeks. And I have it all on text as proof.Bottom line: I had requested a reservation so far in advance but now I'm stuck with no Father's Day reservations. If I had known of the potential risk, I would've booked elsewhere. So just giving all other customers fair warning. Note that I have never posted a negative review, only good/positive ones; but this has gotten me so fired up. They need a new process.
