I had a gift card from a friend so decided to try lunch at the Hunt Room. The Cavalier Hotel is spectacular and the Hunt Room does not disappoint! Prices are very reasonable. We tried the honey glazed Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and they were perfectly cooked, light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. For lunch we ordered the French Dip sandwich and the Hunt Room Burger. Both with truffle parmesan fries. My husband said that it was the best burger he had ever eaten, which is a pretty bold statement. The French dip was huge, I was only able to eat half of it, but it was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. To drink I ordered a creamy Espresso Martini and it was delicious and ice cold, just how I like it. My husband ordered the Smoked Old Fashioned, their staple drink. Very happy with the service (our server Angelina was the best!), the portions large sizes, and the affordable price. Their giant wooden fireplace was phenomenal, we wish we could have stayed to lounge by it but it looked to be the most popular place to be that morning! I will definitely be coming back…

First, we came on a very busy night. It was hoppin in there but we found a seat at one of the couches. Angelina was our server and she was so attentive. We ordered drinks and food. Let me tell you – the bartender knew EXACTLY what he was doing. We ordered The fried shrimp, oysters Rockefeller, Reuben spring rolls and a house salad. All were good but my favorite was the oysters rock. There was a band playing “The Brent Shepherd and Mike Doyle Duo”, they were excellent. My only wish is that the restaurant turned off the overhead house music so we could hear the band better but I’m not sure how that worked. 10/10 service and food. Atmosphere was great and there is a good mix of ages in there. Also, I need to mention the doorman. He was exactly the definition of top tier service

1/10/26 – I went to Becca for brunch for my birthday, and we decided to check this place while at the hotel. I am so happy we did. Staff was super nice. Since we didn’t have a reservation, we could have placed our name to get a table or sit at the couches that were first come first serve. We decided to sit on the couch in front of the fireplace. It was very nice and love the atmosphere of the place. Our server, Debbie, was so amazing. She really made the experience great. She recommended drinks, gave us little history, and some other information in regard to the distillery. We tried 3 different drinks. I really loved the Cavalier soda, it’s basically like a mojito, but it’s so refreshing. We also got to try the nightcap in Naples, it had a great aftertaste of coffee. We had the huntsman as well, it was pretty good as well but mostly tasted of bourbon (at least to me). We got the apple bourbon cheesecake, and it was soo good. They even wrote happy birthday on it. Everything was great though and the drinks prices are decent. We did not get a chance to try food, but I would really love to come back again. I highly recommend their server Debbie as well.

This is a great restaurant on the lower level of the Cavalier, with a very different feel than the Raleigh Room or Becca upstairs. It’s styled as an old hunting lodge feel, with a few big oversized sofas and chairs around a huge fireplace, a bar, and then a traditional dining area.
We were in on a Saturday afternoon and while it wasn’t packed, they seemed to have only 2 servers working, which left them working really hard, but getting service/ drinks a little slow.
They have a large cocktail menu, but our favorites are just getting the Coastal Canned Cocktails which are made in their distillery. They also serve their other in house spirits under the Tarnished Truth brand name.
Our kids got a couple items of the childrens menu and they were large portions and well liked, and we tried the poutine and it was delicious.
If you stay at the sister properties on the oceanfront they will shuttle you back and forth to the Cavalier so you can enjoy their restaurants.

We celebrated our anniversary here, and it could not have been a better choice. The place was busier than the last time we visited, but the food was just as incredible, and the atmosphere made the night so special. Having a live performer singing added such a nice touch—it really made the evening feel even more enjoyable. The customer service is top-notch, and the menu is loaded with great options. Don’t miss the toasted Brussels sprouts, the venison (a must-try!), and their cheesecake-you simply can’t leave without ordering it. A special shout-out to our server, who went above and beyond by making me a mojito even though it wasn’t on the menu. That extra effort really stood out. This spot is one you cannot miss!

The service was great, however the food was very disappointing. There was lots of food left over. Most dishes were very poorly (not at all) seasoned and some dishes were sent back for tasting less than fresh (oysters). Additionally, the booth we were initially sat at had a long trail of ants marching down the wall. So we had to move ourselves to a table instead. Honestly, that should’ve been when we left, but we still wanted to give this place a shot due to such high reviews.

Their service is what’s expected on the Cavalier property. Exceptional. Our food was also delicious. We changed our reservation last minute and it was for the good. The salmon was cooked to perfection!

Just a unique and awesome restaurant. The atmosphere is great, all dining on one end with the bar on the other. Everything we ate was delicious! Specific call out for the Reuben spring rolls and the gold rush cocktail. You have to do valet parking for the hotel itself to go here and would recommend a reservation as the right way to go. Also, to get to the hunt room, you walk in and take the stairs immediately to the right down and turn right.

The Hunt Room was an overall amazing experience everything was great from the ambiance to the food and drinks. We had a very nice server who made the daily catch sound absolutely mouthwatering. The smoked old fashioned was a crowd favorite even for members of the group who don’t usually like old fashioneds. The food was all spectacular! I had the lobster Mac and cheese and it was definitely the best meal that I had on my trip to Virginia Beach. The peas and tomato’s added a very nice freshness to the rich Mac and cheese and it had a lot of lobster in it, I would definitely recommend. Along with all the other food we ordered like the Naked Quail, Grilled Pork Ribeye, and the Roast Duck.

The Hunt Room at Cavalier is a charming spot with an amazing atmosphere, perfect for a special occasion. We visited to celebrate our anniversary, and the cozy ambiance, complete with a real fireplace, gave the space a warm and inviting feel. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the setting made it memorable.
However, be prepared to arrive much earlier than your reservation time. The valet service took forever, and after a 15-minute delay, they gave our table away. While the staff did eventually find us another table, the host gave us a lecture about being late, which felt unnecessary.
Overall, it’s a lovely place with great potential, but the experience could be improved.
