   First of all, we have eaten at Saltine many times before over the years so I want to put this review in context. We came here for Thanksgiving dinner. I ordered the Thanksgiving special entree dinner which included dessert. The portions of each item were small for the price but they were tasty. The food was lukewarm though. The dessert came and it was a substitute for the advertised pumpkin pie. This was a problem because the server was aware that I was choosing the special entirely for the dessert. I expected that when I placed the order a serving of the dessert would be set aside. To make matters worse the server was extremely cavalier about it. The manager of the restaurant was called to address it and she was very helpful and adjusted the bill but we realized later that we were charged a tip on the full amount and it was the server’s fault in my opinion because she didn’t do her job well in the first place but she got a substantial tip anyway. The general atmosphere of this restaurant as an upscale restaurant for business people has declined significantly since we last ate there in the summer of 2022. I hope the restaurant will return to their previous level of professionalism and commitment because downtown Norfolk needs Saltine to be top notch again.

   We had a lovely Thanksgiving lunch. The hostess was kind enough to find us a quiet corner booth that was perfect for four seniors, especially our 92 year old mother. Bruce, our server was attentive without being intrusive. We all had fresh fish that was perfectly prepared and delicious.

   Was sat immediately upon arrival, service was great. The she-crab was great, the Wanchese scallops were alright- although, very salty, and the passion fruit chocolate bomb was amazing.

   Very small menu. Very few seafood dishes to choose from. I had the crab stuffed flounder special, and my wife had THE scallops. There was only one scallop item to choose from. I liked my meal. My wife so, so. The special cocktails were passable, not great. I opted for an old- fashioned for my second drink. If you're a foodie and are looking for risotto and Chilean seabass, go somewhere else.
