    Becca never fails to impress.. The ambiance within Becca at the Cavalier Hotel is refined and serene, providing the perfect setting for conversation, whether it be with a loved one of a business colleague. While the menu leans toward the higher end, it is ideal for special occasions. My wife and I had an outstanding meal served by Samantha, an attentive waitress who has been with the restaurant since it opened after the total renovation of the hotel over ten years ago. Afterwards we carried our glasses of wine a few steps away to the Raleigh Room for jazz night, which included two talented singers, one of whom was Miss Virginia 2024. All-in-all, there is no restaurant or venue in the Tidewater area of Virginia that rivals Becca.

    It was an excellent meal (I had Gnocchi). Our server (Saleema) was superb, attentive, responsive, in spite of a busy area being served. This was our third visit and quantity and quality was still as good as the first experience.

    This place is well worth the stop in. I was a server most of my adult life so I am a little critical. Service was spot on. The hostess was welcoming and accommodating. The environment is cozy. Huge beautiful fireplace when you walk in. The food was incredible. It’s pricey but well worth it. I couldn’t believe the amount of food I received on my plate. I highly recommend this place! Go today 😁
