The atmosphere was quaint which is code(x) for tight, but it was very cute. We did not have a reservation but they accommodated us with bar seating. The bartender made 0 eye contact with me but insisted on making contant goo goo eyes at my partner as if I didnt exist. It was my birthday. I felt very unseen . Even when she checked back to see if the food was okay- only asked my partner. Yikes. Wasnt sure if it was just an attraction thing or a race thing but again since it was an intimate birthday dinner celebrating me, I couldnt help but notice the lack of attentiveness. Food was delicious. We had a couple of appetizers. The Brussel Sprouts are AMAZING. 10/10 recommend anyone trying them out.

The service was excellent, but the food wasn’t great (although it looked great). I ordered the Bread & Butter, the Oyster Mushrooms, and the Burger. The Bread and Butter was delicious. However, the oyster mushrooms tasted fishy which was off putting. I had high hopes for the Burger after reading other reviews online but it was underwhelming to say the least. The meat was not good and tasted overworked. What’s really annoying is they add a 20% gratuity to the bill without saying anything, and I didn’t notice until wrote in the tip for 20% and noticed the text at the bottom. So I ended up tipping 40% instead of my usual 20% which I do even if the food is bad. The service was really good so I just let it be but that’s so unheard of, especially for one person. I get adding a fixed gratuity on a check for 5+ people but that’s the only time it makes sense. It’s also worth mentioning that the restaurant is just generally uncomfortable. The seats are wood and it’s all one room so it’s loud. Overall it wasn’t a good experience.

My wife and I went here first time this past Friday evening. Small, intimate place. Service was top notch. Drinks and beer was excellent. The food? I cannot stop talking about how good it was. I had the Pork Shoulder. My wife had the Burger. The appetizer was Pimento with everything crackers. Like massive tortilla chips baked. Mmm.
There was definitely a chef in the kitchen.

Let me start off by saying the hospitality, and level of care the servers take for their patrons is unmatched for the 757. My short ribs were amazing! my wife’s burger was good, but nothing groundbreaking. I would definitely go back just for the service, and the quality of food that they put out. I would definitely try their more out there items you can tell that’s where the heart is at.

Upon walking in, it was packed so first impressions is the food must be good. I didn’t have a reservation but it was seating available at the bar like table facing the garage style door for 2. I tried briefly before arriving to find menu on the IG page, I didn’t see one. I ordered the pineapple ginger mock tail as they have a set non alcoholic menu. My friend order same meal and 2 cocktail as pictured. The bread and butter is an appetizer it was actually really good. Food got the beef ribs, with grits, and potatoes asked to whole the carrots. You can omit an item but no substitutions. The rib was juicy and tender the grits paired well with rib, but the potatoes are undercooked. The service from entire staff was great, very attentive. I came, I tried but not the place for a return for me.

We had such a wonderful dining experience. We opted for the 3 course pasta Tuesday night special. I had lemon drop martini. Best ever! Dinner was Cesar salad the cheese was so delicious. However the croutons stoled the show.lol. Dinner was a beef Bolognese. Hit the spot. Dessert was a Bananna chocolate chip cookie with homemade caramel sauce . Delicious. I do feel like the ice cream portion was off . However the combo was superb. The best waitress served everyone with enthusiasm and kindness! Adored her.

Top notch food and service! Everything delicious and well-executed, maybe a little expensive for what it is, but price aside a wonderful meal and experience. Peach and burrata perfectly complemented by pickled shallot, balsamela, and bread crumbs. House baked focaccia with whipped butter and just the right amount of salt is fantastic. Thai peanut salad is outstanding, dressing is particularly wonderful. Nduja flavorful and unique, especially over perfectly-toasted sourdough. Prosciutto and onion tart another exquisite amalgamation of complementary flavors, certainly not too blue-cheesy if that’s a concern like it sometimes is for us. Brussels perfectly crispy and savory with accompanying crushed peanuts and nuoc cham. Cauliflower a canvas for a balanced combination of robust, yet not overpowering, spices and flavors. Potato pancake was just a touch bland, the only source of disappointment with the food. Burger and Fett are must-try house specialties, both bursting with savory flavor and expertly-prepared. All three desserts are great options depending on your preference, especially decadent toffee pudding with perfect whipped cream and salted toffee sauce. Drinks were slightly disappointing, seemed like a small amount for the price point, with a neat but voluminous rectangular prism ice cube taking up so much of some of the glasses. Coffee Spritz, Algonquin, and Downtown Revival cocktails are all well-crafted, unique and carefully balanced with lots of flavors that work well together, each subtly present and not overpowering the others. Old Town Cider was a fun try, a bit on the sweeter side, but certainly not too much so. After Dinner Flight another fun try. Service very attentive, relaxed atmosphere, bathrooms clean. 20% tip is included on the bill, and they certainly don’t try to sneak this by you as some have claimed, they bring it right to your attention. Excellent experience all around, definitely recommend!
Finally made it in for brunch – food just as outstanding as their dinner menu! Chocolate chip French toast very nice, thick and rich with tasty embedded chocolate chips. Best quiche we’ve ever had – outstanding savory and thick crust, caramelized onions and gouda baked in, and accompanying smoked tomato cream sauce! Very nice sides of sausage and bacon, and vanilla and cinnamon cardamom vanilla lattes were both flavorful and excellent. Raspberry jam glazed donut focaccia an awesome and unique sweet treat! Very busy for brunch, and no brunch reservations, so definitely plan on either a long wait or getting there before they open at 10 to wait in line and snag an early table, maybe even 9:30-9:45. We got there at 9:50 and were lucky to get one of the last remaining tables before they all filled up. Service accordingly somewhat slow considering they fill right up at 10 AM, understandable of course.

If you only have one night in Norfolk, you should eat here for dinner! The staff were friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were amazing. Split the roasted cauliflower, bread and butter, and charcoal chicken with a friend. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal! If I’m ever back in Norfolk, I’ll definitely be eating here again!

WONDERFUL service & food! 10/10 experience. We will be back.
I always order Brussels sprouts at every restaurant & they all kind of do the same roasting or frying method with the glaze but Codex had a different spin that was yumm.
The hanger steak & burger both had so much flavor. Then the ending – carrot cake was very moist and had the perfect balance of flavors. Not too sweet at all!
