I am no stranger to fine dining restaurants and understand that this restaurant has been here for almost seventy years... but I can not honestly figure out why. The food... although descently portioned.. was horribly bland for the price paid. Their famous butterflied shrimp did not live up to the hype- even with their "secret sauce." All the food that I tried not only lacked taste but also imagination...after seventy years you would think they could come up with something with some sort of "WOW!!" factor. The ambiance was descent and the service was mediocre at best.... but I really don't see how it is a four star restaurant... there are way better local places in Norfolk and in Virginia Beach. The wine list was minimal for a so called "four star restaurant." Not the place you want to go to if you enjoy wine with your meal... and the server we had seemed to lack any sort of knowledge on wine that you would get a REAL four star restaurant. Overall... if you are looking for a good restaurant save some money and go across the street to Ruth's Chris.

While this was my first time dining at "steiny's", it will definitely not be the last. The food was extraordinary and the service was exceptional. Although we happened to arrive on one of the busiest days of the year (the Saturday before ?Valentines Day?), not only did the manager, Brady, take a personal interest in making this a very special evening by seating us at a table near the fireplace. But, while we were waiting in the bar area for the table to come available, the bartender, not only enthusiastically shared some of this establishments ?history and family values? (including employees that have worked here for up to ?50? years), but, also checked on the status of our table (without being asked to do so). All in all, we had a wonderful experience here at "steiny's", and would recommend this establishment to anyone desiring an evening to remember. Clearly, it is easy to understand why this restaurant is a favorite for the ?locals?, and worth ?searching out? if you?re ?visiting? Virginia Beach and get a craving for some ?extraordinary seafood? (especially the fried shrimp). Pros: Exceptional food, service, view, parking Cons: Worth the wait

While service is always wonderful here at "steiny's", everything else is a waste of time and money. My husband an I both work in the industry, and this is by far the most unsanitary, disgusting place I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Not only was our food thrown together on its plate without a hint of presentation, but a long blond hair garnished my filet, and au jus was sprinkled onto my husbands pants as it was dripping off the side of the plate. When the owner, Brady, came over to see how we were doing, I explained my discomfort with the hair and such. He gave me almost a dumbfounded look as if to say, "well what do you want me to do?", and didnt even offer something to take its place. Eventually his mother, Jeannie, offered to take off $20.00 from the bill. And expected this to appear generous. As a manager, I understand the needs and wants of those dinning and spending a lot of hard earned money. The last thing I would ever do, had I been in the owners possition, would be to make my guests feel like they were an unwelcomed burden. Clearly I will not be returning, and I sincerely hope that you take this into consideration next time you have a craving for fried shrimp. Pros: Parking, service, view Cons: Spiders in the bathroom, unsanitary, lazy management

Myself and my fiance dined tonight for to celebrate our second year together. The food was absoltely delicious and the service was impeccable. We were seated quickly and our waitress was about as professional as I have seen. The food came out quick and our bill was a lot less than we thought for the quality of the food and service. The location was very nice too. The only thing I would change is have the tables a little farther apart. I WILL definitely dine there again and recommend it highly to anyone looking for great food at a terrific price along with stupendous and friendly service. Pros: Great food, Location, Service Cons: Tables close together

Our table was in a great secluded area, but if we'd been seated elsewhere I may not have been as impressed. The tables are close together and don't lend to an air of intimacy. The food was impeccable and my fiance and I had a wonderful meal. I don't remember exactly what we ate.....could be the fact he proposed to me out on the lawn behind the restaurant after dinner has clouded my memory. Pros: Great food Cons: Close tables

My husband and I celebrated our 1st anniversary in July 2004 and will definitely be back! The other reviews (except for the unfortunate gentleman who spoke of his wife's "burnt, very burnt salmon"), say it all. Outstanding service, delicious menu (though it caters to those of more traditional tastes), lovely atmosphere...right down to the fresh flowers on each table. You will need to talk a little softer than normal unless you don't mind your neighbors listening in!
