Most of the food was pretty good except for the scallops that had to be sent back because they were under-cooked. The problem is that the service was very slow. The waiter was working hard but had too many tables to serve, I fault the management. We never received bread or drinks that we requested. I would expect after paying $250 for dinner service would be a lot better.
Review Source:Walking in, I was very impressed with the place. It doesn't have the views One Fish Two Fish has nor does it have outdoor seating but it still manages to remain chic and upscale.The wine/glass list is okay (really, no unoaked chardonnay or dry white option besides one acidic sauvignon blanc?) but their cocktail list looked really creative and fun. There was some lavender citrus cocktail I look forward to trying once I'm no longer pregnant.
We ordered the gruyere flatbread and halibut ceviche apps. The flatbread was savory, although it got a bit monotonous towards the end but the ceviche was amazing and bursting with so many different flavors. This was a special, however, so it may not always be featured unfortunately. For entrees we ordered the scallops and trout. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the bed of spahgetti squash had bacon in it which I found to be a bit too tough to continue eating but overall it was a solid dish. The trout dish was beautifully prepared and had a bunch of different textures and flavors, also a standup dish.
The service, ambiance, and food all come together here for an overall delightful dining experience. They have a cool bar area that I will probably be sitting at the next time I return.
Thirty 7 North is really coming into its own. I had a business dinner there last night and I was absolutely blown away by what the kitchen produced for us.
I primarily eat vegan but don't get really excited when all a kitchen can do is throw a bunch of their sides together on a plate and call it an entree. That is absolutely not what they're doing at Thirty 7 North.
Last night they prepared a warm asparagus salad with shaved radish and micro greens for a starter and a main of morels, fiddlehead ferns, and ramps over a bed of perfectly cooked rice. Paired with a glass of rosé (okay, 2 glasses) it made for a perfect springtime meal.
The oysters and grilled halibut that my dinner guest had was equally well thought out and prepared.
The wine list continues to be a standout and the atmosphere of this place is appealing. Â I have nothing but good things to say about it. Highly recommended.
3.5-3.75. Fri/Saturday there is live music. We went for appetizer and dessert. It's a touch more fancy... Hence less "bar food" more small, artsy food. It was good though. Pretzel bites were tasty, not out of this world, but good. Fried goat cheese was def good, however it's just cheese. Much better if its spread on something... Like the pretzels or flat bread pizza. The flat bread pizza is fantastic. My fav app out if what we got. It's dinner size for a lady or guy who doesn't eat an insane amount. It's probably about 2.5-3 slices size of a regular delivery pizza. Our table also got olives, which I didn't try bc I don't like olives, but they were all eaten. For dessert we had bread pudding - it was okay, a little dry. Also had the apple crisp which was pretty awesome.
Review Source:I've been here several times, and have ordered the seafood, steak, and soups, and I have been happy with every item. Â The wine list is also great and seems to change frequently. Â They also have a great bar area so you can go and have an appetizer with a glass of wine instead of a entire meal. Â I am so glad this place opened!
Review Source:Wow factor! Â I was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge of our waitress Michelle and the use of locally sourced ingredients on the menu. Love the fact that there were dishes using fresh kale, oyster mushrooms, turnip and Swiss chard. Sauces were amazing and the sign of true talent! Oysters Rockefeller with kale and Parmesan melt in your mouth. Scallops over spaghetti squash were perfectly browned and seasoned. The bread is baked daily and on point! Dessert did not disappoint. Apple strudel with caramel gelato and house made granola made with VA apples to die for. Love the urban feel of this restaurant. Wine list is extensive but you can brown bag it too.
Review Source:Ate here friday night. Â Food was spectacular. There were 8 of us so we all, as good foodies, took bites of eeryones food.
APPS
The clam appetizer is scrumptious.
The oysters Rockefeller (on special) were the best i have ever had.
The fried shrimp app was great...big shrimp, great batter.
DINNER
I ordered the pork chop...it was very very tasty, well seasoned and cooked. The side items thAt came with it were also very tasty and accompanied it very well.
I wanted to order the flounder, but it has a red pepper cream sauce...which I'm not fond of.
The grouper dish was delicious
The chicken dish was delicious, great bbq sauce on it
Skirt steak dish was ok, the chimichuri paste green garnishment was over powering and detracted from the steak.
DESSERT
Coffee Pana Cotta : OMG to die for
CHAI something sponge cake: super delicious
CHOCOLATE tort: decadent rich and chocolately
STAFF
it is a new restAurant so they have a few kinks to work out. Our server, the doctor, was great. The whole staff work well together, EXCEPT when it came to table numbers and seating positions. Â At one point i was staring at a duck dish that was meant for the table behind me....they will get it, but they should already have table numbers and seating positions hammered out.
My experiences there have been absolutely horrible, along with the fact management simply does not seem to care...let me explain. Sometime in August I went there for dinner, I noticed a skirt steak on the menu, however, it mentioned it came with butter, I asked the server if the butter could be left off, she assured me that it would be, I emphasized several times, to please make sure to not put butter on it. Yep, you guessed it, the steak came with butter all over it...I immediately notified the server, she took the steak back to the kitchen, and yep, they brought me back the exact same steak, the exact same steak, guess they wiped it off .. I am certain it was the same steak, Â due to the facts that it came back in two minutes, and there was a telltale sign of small part I had cut off.
The next day I wrote to their website, and related this story, I did receive a reply form chef Eric T. Nelson, assuring me that this was not accepted policy for his kitchen and asked that I come back, he offered a refund and a additional $ 200. gifte certificate. I responded that I was happy to hear that the problem would be corrected and I did not want the gift certificate, I did not feel it was justly due.
I went back there on Wednesday, September 19th. I sat at the bar, I looked at the menu, I was undecided, the server suggested the skirt steak, I expressly told her that I did not want to take the chance it would come with butter. She assured me that it would not. She even suggested other items, that also come with butter, I made it abundantly clear, that I did not want want anything with butter, after numerous assurances by the server, I reluctantly ordered the skirt steak, yep you guessed it ..IT CAME WITH BUTTER AGAIN !!!!!!!! ...RIGHT ON THE STEAK . The server once noticing this grabbed it and started towards kitchen, I said no, I do not want another steak, " I have had this problem before", oh no, she insisted...since I was sitting at the bar, I could overhear and view the cook in the kitchen being upset and resistant to replace the steak. Stating that is how he makes them.....she insisted they make me a new steak, and she returned a few minutes later, with a near raw steak. Horrible !!!!!
Now here is the worst part ! THE WORST PART ! Â I wrote Mr Eric Nelson again, this time I did not even get a response, I wrote him again several days later, he emailed me back, saying his GM would contact me, of course no one did ! They simply do not care ...or worse yet, think its my fault that they simply ruined my eveing twice ...a attitude of " we are right, the customer is wrong " .
I paid both times for these meal, as well as tipping. But I feel fully disgusted that a restaurant insists on having such a cavalier and arrogant attitude.
Went for my birthday. Â The atmosphere is nice but not very cozy. Â Wait staff was confusing as we seemed to have multiple waiters. Â Food was over seasoned in my opinion. Â Two dishes were swimming in sauce and the serving size was small. Â My fish was the size of a pack of cigarettes. Â Also had to cancel my last beer order because it took so long to get and I was ready to go. Â Plenty of more established places for this price range.
Review Source:Anticipation was building prior to dining at our new local 'hot spot'. Â The newly designed interior was an organic modern feel, but the stark walls and openness lacked coziness...and the lights weren't dim enough.
Our service was done by a staff of 3, perhaps some were new and needed assistance - confusing having different servers, but very pleasant nonetheless.
The beverage list was exceptional and my martini was perfectly bruised. Â The lavender infused corn muffins were like a a southern trip to the spa - but after one, the fragrance became too much. Â The apps sounded divine, but was surprised at such small portion size. Â Don't misunderstand me, I don't expect an AYCE type dining experience like many Americans, but a plate with one jumbo scallop is ridiculous, especially when the manager serves it to you saying, "and the Scallops for you". Â Ummm no, don't you mean Scallop - singular? Â Yeah, yeah, it's a U10, but that's not singleton worthy.
On to the main course...crab cakes were delicious, but also small like the flounder dish. Â I'd guess the crab cakes and flounder portions were both 6-8oz of protein. Â Pretty small for 25+ dollars. Â Guests got the skirt steak which was tasty. Â Looking back I should have gotten the pork - Love pork belly.
Dessert was the best part and thank goodness for it because we were still hungry. Â The peach selection was fantastic and the crunch of the vanilla variety was very enjoyable.
To sum it up...great flavors, but I wanted MORE! Â Will definitely return for a cocktail or if someone else is picking up the tab.
Went there later on a Saturday night for dinner; party of 5 with 1 child. Positives: 1) great atmosphere; 2) very friendly; 3) interesting menu; 3) great wine list; 4) great desserts. Negatives: 1) service fair - brought child's dinner last; 2) some portions very small - had the barbecued chicken and had to look very hard to find the chicken. Portions about 70% of what they should  be for the price point. 3) food only warm, not hot. I will say that others in our party enjoyed their meals (grouper and crab cakes). But overall, this place seems to be trying to be something it not yet is. If they hope to be successful, they have work to do in terms of service, portion size and delivering meals simultaneously and hot. If they don't respond to this and other recommendations, I predict we'll see yet another eatery at this spot by 2014.
Review Source:This is my new favorite spot and I am sending many clients. Â 37 is fresh and new. Â The staff is well trained and very friendly. Â It is very open and the design is so unique. Â The price point is so reasonable. Â The apps are very fresh and different. Â Try the flat bread and the scallops, so great. Â The beef tenderloin was amazing and the scallop potato amazing! Â I loved the whole experience. Â It is laid back and very comfortable. Â This is a spot you will go many times. Â Dont forget to have dessert the cheesecake is to die for, very different....I dont want to give it away.
Review Source:Stopped by to check out the brand new 37 North. Â Â
As big fans of the previous restaurant in that location, La Marinella, we were hopeful that this would soon be our new favorite. Unfortunately it was not to be. The new place is more upscale with a more austere, formal feel. It was definitely not as comfortable. The wait staff was friendly, but not particularly attentive and we were never greeted by the manager even though there was little crowd. Surprising for a new place trying to build clientele.
We had happy hour drinks and a few appetizers. HH drink prices were reasonable, but not great, and they do have a nice selection of draft beer. Â The Appies we had were not inspiring. (not on HH either) They were small and not particularly flavorful. We did not have an entree, but the menu was not overly appealing. The menu states what is in the entree but not how it is prepared. Entree prices are a bit high at $22 Â - $28 ish. Overall we were not impressed. For the price, there are too many other great places nearby. Too bad.
The quintessential dining experience and nothing less. Â
This new hot spot is located next to One Fish, Two Fish right on the water--come by boat or car.  When you walk in, there is beautiful bar on the left  with comfy-cozy bar stools and a few cush bar tables.  The bar opens at 4 daily while the main restaurant is available starting at 5PM. Â
The main dining area is gorgeous and open. Â I love the modern chic light fixtures and the attention to detail on this renovation of the previous La Marinella. Â They have a lovely array of wine to start the evening off right. Â The chef prides himself in trying to use local ingredients, including produce and freshly caught seafood for this Modern American menu.
I was lucky enough try a whole spread of food--I went with about twenty people and, since they all know the foodie that I am, they were all kind enough to share with me. Â I find it hard to name a favorite appetizer--I loved the flatbread with bubbly goat cheese, yellow & red tomatoes, and shrimp. Â The tuna is nice and simple, diced into a generous bowl with a hint of arugula. Â The clams and scallops are also highly recommended but I didn't get to try these yet--now on my to do list.
Now on to the entrees. Â Since eating here last night, I have not been able to stop thinking about the pork belly, which compliments the pork loin--this is definitely my favorite entree thus far, but I am a huge pork belly fan so perhaps I have some bias-LOL. Â I had seen the menu ahead of time online, and knew instantly that I had to try the gnocchi (as I have appropriately nicknamed "Knock you socks off" gnocchi). Â This gnocchi is homemade and baked with goat cheese, divine oyster mushrooms, olive oil, spinach, and yellow & red tomatoes to give it a real burst. Â The crabcakes are lumptolumptuous and paired with coleslaw. Â The shrimp are kickin with polenta (way better than shrimp & grits). Â Our waiter said the salmon was his favorite--it looked gorgeous but I didn't get to try it myself. Â Everyone that ordered the skirt steak or the Hereford beef tenderloin was well satiated. There is definitely something for everyone in your party.
This place is perfect for groups, date night, or girls night out. Â Just what Virginia Beach needed.
