    I made Christmas Eve reservations for my husband and myself. Everyone from the hostess, to the food runner, and the our waitress were fantastic! We did have reservations and were seated upon arrival. The appetizers were excellent, we enjoyed the fried shrimp and the deviled eggs. For dinner, my husband had the rockfish special over house made fried rice, and I had hoped for the short rib dinner, however, it had just sold out so I opted for the New York strip dinner and substituted the sweet potatoes and the other side for the wasabi mashed potatoes and cream kale, which were superb. The portion sizes were great, I even came home with leftovers to enjoy the following day. For dessert, my husband ordered a slice of carrot cake to take home, which was outstanding. I can’t wait to return. The food was delicious and I can’t wait to return. Thank you so much for a memorable Christmas Eve.

    Only one little negative mark, I felt their Hot Tuna signature dish should have been plated with a small side of vegetable. I was surprised when it came without, so my table shared their veggies with me. I missed it on the menu, maybe it was too dimmly lit, but I assummed it would come with a vegetable. The food was fabulous tho!

    Our reservation was for 6:15; however, our event prior ended early and we showed up about 45 mins early. Aldo’s was happy to accommodate our party. Vinny was our server, and we had a wonderful evening! Thank you, Aldos is one of our favorite go tos, and we appreciate the quality, the longevity, and the wonderful atmosphere. It made our evening fantastic and memorable!

    A true gem in the heart of Virginia Beach, Crocs 19th Street Bistro delivers an exceptional dining experience worthy of its reputation. On our second visit, the bistro exceeded all expectations yet again, earning a well-deserved 5 stars. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The triple-cooked wings were the best I’ve had in a long time—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The menu’s subtle Mediterranean touches were a delightful surprise, bringing a unique twist to the dining experience. Add to that an impressive wine selection, and you’re set for a perfect meal. For me, their expertly crafted Old Fashioneds were so good, I couldn’t stop at just one! But what truly sets Crocs apart is the service. For the second time, the staff delivered warm, attentive, and top-notch care, making us feel like cherished guests. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevate this bistro beyond comparison. If you’re looking for a spot where impeccable food meets outstanding service, Crocs 19th Street Bistro is a must. From family outings to special celebrations, this bistro hits every mark. We can’t wait to come back!
