Wow! Can’t believe this place does not have a higher rating!! First time here for our anniversary but it will certainly not be our last! While the menu could be described as simple, I would say that makes the execution even more difficult. The chefs here did an amazing job at delivering well crafted, seasoned, and harmonious dishes. Add the more upscale atmosphere and service, it was a delightful evening. A special thank you to Alea, our server, who was so sweet, knowledgeable, attentive, and caring to make us feel special both as guests and for our anniversary. More on the food - We opted to go for the 4-course tasting menu (x2) and enjoyed: raw oysters, homemade burrata, linguini w/ clams, short rib rigatoni, lamb lion, chicken piccata, tiramisu, and valhrona chocolate pudding. We left stuffed to say the least!! Felt it was worth the price and would do it again! If your looking to save a bit though while still getting to go out, they do have a very nice selection for happy hour at a lower rate! We don’t get out often, so thank you Terrapin for a great evening!!

A perfect choice for a small business dinner. Tasty and interesting food, from appetizers to entrees to desserts. A mixed crowd all found something to enjoy. Fun drink options and excellent wine by the glass options. Service was prompt, happy and informed. Close to the water, but far enough away to quiet down. I'm tempted to return tonight, since I haven't seen anything close to this experience elsewhere in VB. The "outdoor"patio was covered.

I’ve been here twice! Recommend the shrimp tagliatelle - it’s my favorite and I go back just for that! The service is great as well. Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable! Definitely give this place a try! :)

The food was the BEST I have ever had. We chose the taste option and got pasta, filet and desert for a very reasonable price. The service was PERFECT as well. It was our anniversary, and they printed the menus with our names on the top welcoming us. We also got one to take home. My wife never eats desert, but she devoured the Pear dessert. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for anniversaries or romantic dinners. WOW

This restaurant never fails to amaze my wife and I. We have ordered many items and it has always been delicious. I Highly recommend.

Excellent experience! Food was great and eye catching. Oysters are the best in VA Beach. The Dumplings with Kimchi were delicious. The Beet Salad was outstanding. Sourdough bread was hot and fresh!! Courtney was a very communicative and responsive server, very friendly! We will definitely be back.

Excellent from start to end!! I have say, this probably the best food I EVER tasted, especially in this area. I’m not even exaggerating. I made a reservation for my boyfriend. They surprised us by printing his name on the menu wishing him a happy birthday. The food was so beautifully made really and truly. And for dessert- I HIGHLY recommend “The Pear”. Beautiful experience. You will NOT be disappointed.

Logan, Brian and the Chefs were great and did not disappoint! We had our anniversary dinner there and we will be back regularly! Halibut and ShortRib Rig was the best! Bouillabaisse was rare and tasty too! We love it! We will be back more often!
