FAB - U - LOUS

by rayray1060

We took my friend for her birthday and had a fabulous time. The food was superb. I liked everything, even stuff I normally detest. Everything on the menu looked yummy, ended up choicing the beef tenderloin, perfect even at medium heat. Get the spring roll appetizer and a martini. Trust me, it's all worth the price. Treat yourself.

Very hip, urban atmosphere with excellent food

by taylorsl

Very chic, hip atmosphere with great ambience. Love all the cool blown-glass light fixtures and mini lights in the floor. The food was creatively presented and excellent. Very extensive wine menu. Good cocktails too. Great place for a small group or a date. One complaint: the service was on the slow-side.

• Pros: Atmosphere, food
• Cons: Service

This sexy, upscale space with high-class snacks is known for its singles scene and cosmopolitan flair.

In Short
The sunny upstairs with its hardwood floors, and the dimly-lit downstairs with its moodier ambience each offer seating for about 50, between the bar stools and the booths. Those choosing to sit in the high-backed, velvet-covered banquettes that front the plain brick walls will find crowd-gazing is mandatory. This is the place to be seen in downtown Norfolk. Sup on crab-encrusted rockfish and beef tenderloin as you revel in the view.

7 Eleven is down the street

by strinos

A native New Yorker and restaurant owner, I was rather impressed with the atmosphere, drink selection and crowd at Club Soda and considered myself a regular there. I was appalled with the service, though, and now refuse to patronize the establishment. A friend of mine ordered a Red Bull w/ Vodka and recieved the following response "7-Eleven is down the street...We don't serve that stuff here." What kind of elitist response is that? Who did this bartender think he was? Is a Red Bull and Vodka not up to the high class standards of this upscale Norfolk martini bar? Give me a break. If you don't serve the drink, fine. Just say so. Do not belittle the guests. That's bad business. You probably think that my friend probably didn't belong in a place like this, but he is owns a golf course. He is no stranger to up-scale.

Club Sode - Outstanding!

by craiginsd

I have eaten all over the world, and am constantly seeking creative foods exhitbiting extraordinary prepartion... Club Soda is equal to or better than ANY place I've EVER eaten. I look for every opportunity I can to cross the country (I live in California) to eat there... it is that good.

• Pros: Food Quality, Creativity, Uniqueness

Love at first sight

by msnay

When you walk in you are reminded of the restaurants you've seen on tv...very hip, happening and now. You now have that chance to experince what cool really is; the atmosphere is on point and wonderful. The wait staff treated me better than I've ever been treated before. They remembered me and even remembered what I had ordered on my first meal with them, when I returned on my second visit at this wonderful establishment.

• Pros: great drinks, seasonal menu
