An excellent place to come and eat. The service is more than outstanding; they truly provide the best care and make you feel as comfortable as possible. If you are looking for a romantic, calm atmosphere with excellent service, don’t hesitate to come here. Kyle took care of us today and made our experience so much better. Everyone here is attentive to you—honestly, the best service I have ever received at a restaurant.

Our favorite steak restaurant in Hampton Roads is Ruth Chris but it’s a little farther away from us so my husband took me to River Stone Chophouse for my birthday. So our benchmark starts from Ruth Chris. River Stone was nice but didn’t match up to Ruth Chris. The bill was much higher but the quality was lower. First, the filet does Not match up. When our food arrived, the filet was flat and not thick and then my medium was so well done it was hard to cut. Yes. I returned it. My husband ordered the aged rib-eye also medium. He liked it until as he cut closer to the bone, it was too rare so he left that (see pic). My husband finished his rib-eye and I still hadn’t received my corrected filet. After about 30 minutes, it arrived better cooked and it did taste good. The mashed potatoes were cool and the green beans were tough so we didn’t eat. That was very disappointing (especially since the bill was over $200 and no, we don’t drink alcohol so with the two sides and appetizer, we only had sodas). For that amount we’ll have no problem heading back to VA Beach Ruth Chris! Additionally, the service was nice but Again, nothing compared to Ruth Chris who upon arriving the last time we went for our anniversary, the maitred surprised us by decorating our tzble as we sat and a sweet desert. We received no such warm consideration at River Stone. The atmosphere was okay. I’m sorry I cannot recommend this restaurant.

The short rib mac and six-cheese was solid and satisfying.
The lobster stew came in generous portions—definitely hearty enough to be a main course rather than an appetizer.
Brussels sprouts with bacon-onion jam were expertly prepared but just missing that extra spark of wow.
The 7 oz sirloin with veggies was tasty overall, though it leaned a bit too salty for my taste. The raw and steamed oysters, however, were outstanding—fresh and perfect.
Clearly a local favorite; the place was packed. That said, we were unexpectedly asked to remove our hats while seated—something I’ve literally never encountered in a supposedly “casual” spot. First time for everything, I guess!

Highly recommend their scallop entree special and spiced peach cobbler cheesecake! Scallops were the best either of us had ever had. NY strip steak with garlic green beans was also delicious! Our server, Rachel, was great and welcomed us to the area.
We’ll definitely be returning.

If I could give a higher review, I would! The service was impeccable! Hailey was amazing and attentive and so knowledgeable and helpful seeing it was our first time there. The Charred Greek Salad was insanely good even my 10 year old daughter enjoyed it. Highly recommend their desserts as they have a new pastry chef in house now (thanks for the recommendation Hailey). Steaks and sides were awesome as well. This was a birthday dinner for my son and they made it beyond memorable. Highly recommend this place and ask for Hailey, you won’t be disappointed!

I want to like this place. I came here twice in a span of 2 days. Both times I came alone. The first time I sat at the bar. I ordered a glass of wine, raw oysters and salmon dish. I ordered salmon medium rare it but it came more on the medium well side. Nevertheless it was very tasty. My oyster order was forgotten and it came after I reminded them, but it was in the middle of my main course. The food was good just the timing was off.
I gave it a try again (came alone again). This time I made reservations. It took a couple min to be seated but not bad at all. I ordered house salad, oysters, crab cakes and wine. The water had no ice which is a sign of a good restaurant. I hate ice in my water. The garden salad had appropriate amount of dressing and greens were bite size so I didn’t feel like I was a rabbit. I was happy with my salad.
What I noticed is that the table was sticky. My phone actually stuck to the table. Maybe it’s just finish of the table plus their cleaning stuff: still not good. My wine came 20min after I put in my order, not good again, especially when you dine alone. You need booze STAT.
The main course came right after my appetizer.
Crab cakes were good, slightly too salty for my taste. A small complain I have is that they were luke warm, I would enjoy more if they were hot.
The atmosphere of the restaurant had a good vibe, not loud, lighting was slightly dim but you can see the menu and your food (even without reading glasses). For dessert I had hazelnut gelato. It was very good and enormous amount.
To summarize, it’s a good restaurant but need more attention to details.

We were looking for something special for our anniversary. The atmosphere is nice and service good, but the food was not special. For a $45 filet there was a lack of seasoning. I did like the spud sundae. I was disappointed at the limited dessert menu.
It was very busy when we arrived and the bar area was very noisy, so we opted for outdoor dining and that was pleasant. The ladies room had only one working stall.
Overall we will not be returning.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary and enjoyed our experience. The service and atmosphere were great. We had a small issue with our meal but it was corrected and did not have a negative impact on our experience. The prices of the steak were a bit high and honestly were average quality but seasoned and cooked well. Overall we would return.

I recently planned a surprise birthday dinner for my wife, and despite the last-minute arrangements, the team at Riverstone Chophouse delivered flawlessly. The service was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our party had adequate seating, even with a fairly large group.
The food was phenomenal — every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The drinks were top tier, and the overall atmosphere made the evening feel special and seamless. I truly can’t say enough about the level of professionalism, hospitality, and quality we experienced. I highly recommend Riverstone Chophouse for any special occasion or night out — they will not disappoint.

EDIT: Emailed the management (as per the response from the restaurant) and received no response. Safe to say their response was simply to save face, not to actually improve their business.

This place is wildly over-priced for what you actually get. The atmosphere is decent, I’ll give them that, although one painting was crooked on the wall and I swear it stared at me all night like it knew something I didn’t. I almost got up to fix it myself. Missed opportunity for community service.
The real problem was the food. My steak was supposed to be medium well and came out well done, then kept going just to make sure. Another steak at the table was ordered medium rare and showed up looking like it still had future plans. The vegetables were so crunchy I briefly wondered if we were being tested for jaw strength.
Overall, it was a letdown. We walked in with High Hopes like Panic! at the Disco and walked out feeling Disappointed like Death Grips.
Honestly, we probably would have been better off at Texas Roadhouse or Outback Steakhouse. At least there you know exactly what you are signing up for, and the steak does not come with an existential crisis.
Avoid at all (way over-priced, I reiterate) costs.
PS: the waitress had zero sense of humor, as well.
