Came here for appetizers and some drinks. Great ocean view. Phenomenal service, our waitress was very attentive to our needs. The appetizers were good. Crab dip could have more crab, it was too soupy for our liking. Everything else was delightful. Definitely try this place out if you want ocean breeze and the spot across them had a band playing while we were eating so it was win win with a great view. You can choose to eat inside or outside (recommend eating on their deck).

Fancy dinner, fancy service, fancy atmosphere, fancy price. The food, service, and atmosphere is great, and I would hope it would be for the price tag. My wife got the surf and turf (8 oz filet mignon with 6 oz lobster tail) and I got the cowboy ribeye with lobster tail add on. We also tried the lobster bites and creme brûlée. All were amazing. My only complaint is that they asked if we were celebrating anything (which we were celebrating our anniversary) and we didn’t get anything. Why ask if there’s no reason behind it? Maybe next time we’ll try asking if they have any offerings. Overall the experience was very pleasant along with the food and service. Would strongly recommend for special occasions.

Great food and fantastic service! Fun and well-balanced drinks – fruit flavors in the passion fruit and black cherry rum drinks really came through in a nice way. Excellent bread and salad options – appreciate them splitting our Oscar’s salad for us. NY strip was cooked perfectly and paired excellently with the sauce, and my wife loved her shrimp risotto with the addition of expertly-prepared scallops. Very nice blueberry crumble NY cheesecake for dessert. Classy establishment, well worth the price tag.

Obviously a fine dining establishment, so you go in expecting prices to be high. No problem there. With high prices though, one would expect the food quality to match as well as the drink quality. Food isn’t bad, average at best. Same thing with the drinks. Flat beer. Notch 3 (I think that’s the name of it) was horribly flat and disgusting and shouldn’t be served. Service is pretty good, atmosphere is beautiful.

A nice restaurant right on the boardwalk! Nice atmosphere ! Live band was playing across the way! Food is really good, but a tad pricy. We had the Mahi Mahi, and a side of the real rubberized mushrooms, and some new fangled anchovie Caesar salad. The fish tasted like a block of deer salt that Bambi would have had to get up at midnight to pee, and a bit parched! Lay off the salt and bit! Our server, was Jade, nice and just maybe a bad night but not the most attentive today, but she was nice. It was slow for a Wednesday. But “Hannah Montana” was a great server who greeted us with a smile at the door, and was super nice to help us!

Please do not be fooled by the five-star reviews. I am sure the staff’s friends are writing them because the service is the worst in Virginia Beach.
On our last night in Virginia Beach celebrating our anniversary, we decided to end our final night at Oscar’s, and what a major mistake.
We had an 8PM reservation. When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty. We sat and waited over 30 minutes before someone came to get our drink order, and that was after my partner went to say something. After getting drinks, we waited another 20 minutes for someone to take our food order.
While we sat waiting for service, the servers and host sat at the bar and had friends come in and join them. It was the worst decision we ever made to celebrate our last here. There is nothing luxurious or admirable about this place.
It is 2024, and they are charging like a gas station. If you pay cash, you pay the cheaper bill, but if you use a card, there is a surcharge. It doesn’t make any sense. What nice restaurant does this??!! I have never had this happen and will never be back. There are so many better options on the beach, and this place is not it. Please do not be fooled by the 5-star reviews because that is not the level of service or quality you will receive.

We had a reservation and arrived on time. Saturday night at the waterfront… This place is empty. And they make people wait. The service was beyond slow. Our food came and we had no place settings. Maybe a victim of the labor shortage… But mediocre food and absent server. Orders came out wrong. Scampi came with two kinds of pasta. For 18 dollars should not be random noodles.

By far and probably forever: best mashed potatoes in the world. Janine and Taylor, along with everyone who took care of us the entire time we were there, thank you for your hospitality. The ambiance was nice, we had a view of the beach. I tried a couple of their port wines, which I found penfolds very pleasing. Their burrata was delicious. We also ordered their specialties that night which was fresh mahi mahi and fillet mignon with lobster. I think what i loved from this restaurant the most is how they engage with their customers + mashed potatoes

This restaurant was AMAZING. We showed up to our reservation 30 min early to just grab bar drinks while we waited, but he instead was able to seat our party early since there was an opening! Very polite and well-staffed team who frequently checked on us. The host stopped by midway through the meal and we found out they’re a relatively new restaurant in the area! Drinks were phenomenal, and the food was delicious. You can easily eat a 3 course meal deal they offer for ~$50, but of course we had to try a bunch of their signature dishes, so WELL WORTH the price of the meal overall! Definitely a must-visit for a finer dining experience. Pictured are the Lobster Bites, Shrimp Risotto (with freshly ground pepper from the wait staff), and a Cherry Limeade cocktail

Choose Oscar’s for a friend’s birthday dinner and glad we did!! Warm welcome and seated upon arrival for our 7pm reservation. Our wonderful server was MACKENZIE – great drink recommendations: the Sangria, Oscar’s Tini, & Hurricane Oscar!
Starters include SNOW CRAB LEGS, steamed with old bay & drawn butter & CLAM & BACON Soup of the Day. Beat crab legs I had for quite some time…steamed PERFECT!
LAMB LOLLIPOPS with
mashed potatoes & asparagus, SHRIMP RISOTTO with lemon risotto, large shrimp & goat cheese, and LOBSTER TORTELLONI with lobster, scallions, oyster mushrooms,
capellini pomodoro béchamel sauce, cheese tortelloni. All cooked perfectly!
So many seating options, great bar & when the warmer weather arrives, GREAT outdoor patios on boardwalk!
Highly recommended
