Waters Edge Wineries

As I sit here and eat this AMAZING lunch at Waters Edge I really need you all to understand how mouth watering this plate is. First, as soon as I walked in was greeted and asked to sit where ever I like! The service was great as well! Food came out in a timely manner. Young lady and young man that helped me were extremely friendly! I am a wine club member here and I am really ashamed of myself for not coming so often! I am going to come more often! Ohhhh ohhh and don't let me forget the WINE!!! I can taste the fruits. It's soooooo good!!!!

Amazing date night location! Locally veteran owned business that impressed me from the moment we stepped in the door. We enjoyed a pick your own wine flight and two of their entrees. The staff is very knowledgeable and explains how the wine is made at the winery. Amazing wine from all over the country and the food was delicious too. This is the perfect location if you want to try something different in the Norfolk area!

This is my second review after dining here three more times in the past year. Honestly, its location gets five stars since it's easy to meet people who come up from Ghent and down from Ocean View. And the decor is good. That's the main reason we've gone. The wine: I am no expert. My party of four on a recent night shared a flight of white and red wines. It's just not very good, especially for the price. Of the 8 glasses, 3 were not good and 5 ok. We ordered a bottle of Tempranillo (the best of the tasted) after the flight. Gosh, the ones I get from Spain in a store is better. That seems weird. I'm sure they don't want guest wines, but...The food: I've had several things there. Good was a steak salad and a flatbread. Bad was a crab cake, which was presented unattractively and seemed thin on crab. Service each time has been slow but ok. Anyway, they seem to be doing ok and I like the concept.

I've been back a few times since my initial review when they first opened.For this review covering the past year I would give them 3 1/2 stars.A few things from my visits:Lunch visit: I sat out on the patio with a group of 6. Our waitress was not good. Maybe she was new and inexperienced. Food took a while, waitress could not answer questions, and wine was disappointing to especially one in our group. Her Chardonnay was not to her liking (too sweet) so she did not drink it. No replacement was offered and her full glass just remained at the table. Food was "meh" this day for all of us. At one point the waitress told us she could see some of our food was ready in the kitchen and wanted to know if she should bring out what was ready or leave it back there. The owner came by the table to check on us at the end of our meal. He obviously understood that things were not going great for our table but he didn't ask what went wrong or what could be better. Missed opportunity for him.Dinner: most recently we went as a table of 4 for dinner. Everyone was pretty happy with their meals. I had the peach glazed salmon which was plentiful. Another guest at our table was happy that the flatbreads were gluten free. Unfortunately, after a guest placed their order the waiter returned 5 minutes later to say they ran out of that item.When we were choosing our wine for the meal, our waiter was not very helpful or knowledgeable. We wanted to get a bottle to share and he was very hesitant to ask the bartender for a taste before we purchased an entire bottle. They hesitantly brought a splash but it seemed like it was an annoyance.I would probably recommend doing a flight tasting unless you really know you would like the wine to get a bottle. Their wine seems much lighter and not as full bodied in comparison to wine that we normally drink (red wine).The ambiance inside was nice and relaxing. Our table was comfortable and clean.

Pretty and quiet place for an unhurried chat over good food. Despite the name, fairly limited wine list.

I'm in LOVE! Waters Edge is just what Norfolk needed! I'm from out of town, but visit the Hampton Roads often. They've only been open a short time, but the owner welcomed us and gave us a lovely overview of the restaurant and the wine club. Do yourself a favor and sign up on Mondays for a discount!They've got a private room for special events, and a beautiful dining space with a balance of casual and intimacy. Great for friends or a date!Now to the food: my goodness it was divine! I ate too much food and didn't even snag pics! The Brussels sprouts weren't over seasoned, yet flavorful. The salmon was the star of the show! And the risotto was sensational! The wines were amazing! The Bordeaux is the star! My family enjoyed the red wine flight (you can customize or get the wines they recommend). Overall, Waters Edge is a 10/10! I cannot wait to return!

Met a few friends this was a half way meeting point. They have a wonderful menu and we each ordered a different flight and so enjoyed them very much Ordered: Sparkling Wine Flight Virginia Hot Crab Dip Italian Burrata Parmesan Truffle FriesSangria FlightWine Flight Charcuterie BoardThat gave us a large sampling of the menu and we shared almost everything That Burrata Salad was the best I've ever had.Our server Meagan was very attentive and did a great job.There's also an outside seating area

This place is worth all the hype that it has been getting. First of all, love a place that has a family-friendly atmosphere. I was there with my large family and another large family came in... we were all just vibing. Our waitress, Amber made us feel like we were at home. Second, I love that we went on Saturday at 11:30 AM and we beat the Saturday lunch rush. Third, absolutely love their wines and will be back for more!!!Their wines have unique flavors. Most are light, pack a great fruity flavor, and are strrrroonnng! I highly recommend their wine flight and mimosa flight to try all of what they have to offer seasonally. That blackberry mimosa... I hope that stays in season forever. lol.I did love the food that we had. I had the chimichurri steak frites. It was light on the flavor but hearty. I didn't feel like anything was over or under seasoned. It truly was light. I love the way they make their fries which is important for someone like me who looks for the perfect crunch each time she eats fries. My brother had the Mediterranean salad with no protein and he really enjoyed it. It was delicious. The crab cakes seem small but MY GOD they are pretty dense and packed with crab meat. So so good. I would have preferred less onion in it but otherwise, a must try. The tortellini which I failed to take a photo of was also reeeaalllyyy good!!!!!!!! I definitely recommend ordering that if you're a pasta lover.The charcuterie board was pretty. I loved the mixed berry jam. It paired well with their house bread. I was sad that all the meats were pork since I don't eat pork. So I hope that they consider adding a beef option in the future. Everyone enjoyed the meats that were on the board. They felt that the cheeses were perfect pairings for what was there!This place is definitely going to be a "go-to" for my family when we dine out. Quality and service are both absolutely there!!!! I hope you can get yourself in here soon.

This was my first time visiting Waters Edge Winery, I loved the decor and ambiance there. I met there with my soror during happy hour and there were only a few other people inside dining, so it was nicely quiet. Sangrias were $5 by the glass and the flatbreads were 1/2 off during happy hour.I started with the White Cranberry Sangria (10/10), Virginian Crab Dip (7/10) I enjoyed the taste, but wasn't overly satisfied as I hoped, BBQ flat bread (8/10) yummy, but needed more toppings, and the Black Raspberry Sangria (10/10). Overall, I enjoyed everything I ordered, but I do wish there were more options to choose from under the happy hour specials though. I am definitely going back as I really enjoyed my first time at the winery.My overall rate of experience : 8.5/10

Amazing food!!! We called for takeout and it was SO quick. Ordered the short ribs & risotto and Norfolk brussel sprouts. Loved both!!! We had come to waters edge when it first opened and were not impressed with the menu/our food then, but WOW this menu update is SO GOOD! If you live in Norfolk, you need to go!!!
