No wonder Blue was rated Number 1 by Yelp reviewers as the best seafood restaurant in America. I knew it was special when I first saw dry packed scallops on the menu. No other restaurant that I've eaten at has offered dry pack scallops. I was in Virginia Beach visiting my brother and my sister had flown in from Austin and I said I read a review of a restaurant that served dry packed. She had no clue what that meant but I did. Blue doesn't take reservations so we were there shortly after it opened... so we could get a table. The restaurant only has about 15 tables and about the same at the bar stools. We were treated with a small sample of gourmet cheese and toast ends on the house. We shared a bowl of the soup de jour which was cream of lump crab and it was outstanding. Then we shared a micro green arugula berry salad with a in-house dressing... phenomenal. For entrees I got what I was coming for the scallops and I was not disappointed... the taste of dry-packed is so much better than scallops processed and shipped in water. I was in gourmand heaven. All the sides are locally sourced from farm to table and bursting with flavor. My sister got fresh stuffed flounder and raved over it... I did get a taste... and I agreed. Charles the owner and head chef makes the rounds to every table to make sure everything is perfect... and it was! I've been back twice since the and I will not leave VB unless I make a trip to Blue Seafood and spirits! BTW that's Charles photo bombing us in front of the restaurant... unannounced!

My family and I went last night for my mother's birthday and we heard amazing things and definitely lived up to it and exceeded the expectations. Great service, the owner/chef came by and dropped off some goodies and said hi, made us very welcome right from the start. After our dinner he stopped by again and as we were talking you could feel his passion about his restuarant and his food. We tried what we heard from others who've recommended, the Hibiscus martini, chocolate bread pudding and multiple seafood dishes. Everything was so super fresh and amazing!! Even though it's mainly a seafood known place, the porkchop is the best I've ever tasted! The seafood is spectacular and we are all still thinking about that pork chop! Delicious and delightful restuarant.

I can't praise this place enough--it was fantastic! The food and the staff were outstanding. The chef and our waitress checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were happy with our meal and experience. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to my friends. It's a great spot for family, friends, or a date.

We recently had dinner at Blue Seafood & Spirits in the heart of Virginia Beach. This is a fantastic seafood restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable with menu questions and suggestions and the prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Admittedly, they are a little off of the beaten path, but it's well worth the drive. A word of caution, they don't offer reservations so if you are a table (or even a seat at the bar) please arrive early. They open at 4pm and folks are standing in line outside as early as 3:15 or so. Believe me, it's well worth the wait!
