Sunset Grill - Norfolk

Walked in and got the stink eye because we wear masks. No music, no ambiance, no style. Extremely small dining area. No one greeted us instead another customer told us to sit wherever. Didn't get service for 10 minutes. I was ready to leave but my husband convinced me to stay because we wanted seafood. Bars on the windows, exposed pipes, uneven floors.. Felt like a pawnshop more than a restaurant. Idk who eats here but if you're younger than 60, avoid. We were by far the youngest in the place at 30 besides one waiter. The food is not great. Under seasoned and they don't supply salt, pepper, or anything at the table. Will not be back. Edit: $113 for two people, mediocre food, no music, barely any service, not even at GD salt and pepper on the tables???!!! AVOID. Gent is right down the road and even fast food seafood would be better.

Pretty good food and fun place. We came here before an event at the Chartway Arena as it was walking distance. The place is very clean and cozy, with a variety of menu options. We tried the smoked oyster dip and also the trio shrimp platter... then had the coconut fish and shrimp and the fish and chips. Everything was very tasty and fried perfectly. Our friends had the shrimp platter and the grilled taco seafood trio...also very delicious. Service was friendly and quick.

Very cute, intimate place serving excellent seafood! We stopped by for lunch and were greeted cheerily. Menu was not huge, but plenty of options. Unfortunately, no soft shell crab available currently, so we settled for starting with a dozen oysters. Their version of a dozen was 14...New Math but not complaining! Fresh and briney from Eastern Shore; we devoured them. I has fish tacos, fresh fish with blackened seasoning, wife had fish chips. The fish was fresh, local rockfish, and didn 't need vinegar or sauce of any sort. Owner/cook was pleasant to talk with, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Apparently some evenings they have music, open mike nights and other fun, which we will have to come back and try.

We found the Sunset Grill while visiting Norfolk. I've eaten seafood from all over the country and Canada. Hands down, Kathy (owner) and her team make the best seafood I've had in North America. The restaurant is a hidden gem. Do not miss your chance to have the fried oysters, tuna bites (OMG! phenomenal), and just about anything on their menu. We will be going back again and again. And. Again!

Amazing gem found by Yelp reviews and YES the seafood is so fresh it could still be swimming! We started with a dozen oysters on the half shell, Eastern Shore and yummy. Lip smacking great. Then Hubs had fish tacos while I had fish and chips. First time I didn't need malt vinegar for the fish which was a sea bass that was so fresh it flaked off my fork. Incredibly fantabulous food!
