Ordinaire

"What an amazing experience!! The food and cozy atmosphere made my dining experience a 10++++++!!! You have to taste the shrimp and grits, rockfish, fried devil eggs, fish and grits, and the die-for-signature sweet potato bread pudding!! I look forward to my next visit!!"

"We were walking through Norfolk, and stumbled upon this nice looking place. I was hesitant to go in at first, I was dressed too casual. They were very welcoming. The owners came out and introduced themselves. That speaks for itself, coming from an entrepreneur myself. It is good to see a women owned, black owned establishment with such quality and respectful staff. I will definitely be back. The hospitality was top tier. I ordered the seafood omelette, fried devil eggs, and the white linen martini. The chef killed it!!! The martini was perfect, light and refreshing. Hats off to you ladies!!! One of my new favorites in Norfolk…"

"For starters the light Dragoon punch (mixed drink) is light and refreshing. The white linen martini is smooth with the perfect combination of sweet and sour which leaves your taste buds tingling. The bartender is skilled at his craft! The Gullah peanuts reminds me of buying boiled peanuts on the corner of Rutledge Avenue and Grove Street at the Citadel baseball field with a unique twist! The turkey and collards added zest to an all time favorite. Tony, the peanut man, would be proud. Seafood platter with red rice and Mac and cheese. The seafood was fresh. It tasted like it was right off of the boat on Shem Creek. The red rice was on point. It was cooked just like in the low country with sausage and bacon. My husband had the fried chicken. Each of the four pieces were large, succulent, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was so inviting. The owners talked with everyone and the ladies at reception were pleasant and filled with joy. Although I’m hundreds of miles away from home, it felt I was just around the corner. Well Done ORDINAIRE on your soft opening!!!"
