The Best Fish and Seafood Restaurants in Virginia Beach

Along with the Hot Tuna Bar and Grill, seafood restaurants pepper the landscape in this coastal town, and it's no wonder, they can get fresh supplies right down off the pier! Among some of the best include, Harpoon Larry's where they offer daily specials. On Tuesday, clear the table for the Crab leg Special where you get to crack a full pound of buttery hot crab legs for only $7.95 (maybe they should call him Crazy Larry).

The dinner menu at Mahi Mah changes daily depending on what comes off the boat, but you can expect delicious hand-rolled sushi every time you visit. The Asiago and Parmesan Crusted Tilapia with Truffle Butter and Chive Oil will make you think you've struck a deal with Davey Jones himself to be tasting something so exquisite on your Virginia Beach vacation!

The Best American Restaurants in Virginia Beach

When you think about American cuisine, one food comes to mind more than any other, steak! At the Black Angus Restaurant, they've been mastering the art of steak for over 50 years. Try a cup of savory clam chowder, followed by a Hot Crab Dip appetizer. Then loosen up the belt for the juicy Black Angus New York Strip Steak or perhaps the Stockyard Filet of Sirloin. Either way, you can enjoy a belly-busting meal for less than $50 per person.

For a taste of traditional American fare at reasonably low prices, the Raven Restaurant fits the bill. A mouth-watering meal including an appetizer of Fried Clam Strips and a Raven Champignon Burger with a side of Giant Ravenfries and this will only set you back a little over twelve bucks. Finish that Raven burger and you may not have to eat again until three days later!

The Best International Cuisine Restaurants in Virginia Beach

If your taste buds are crying out for something a little more exotic, then Virginia Beach has a wide number of International cuisines to tempt your palate. For instance, the world-famous P.F. Chang has a restaurant in town. Relax in the gorgeous Oriental-themed bistro and give the Oolong Marinated Sea Bass or the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Lemon Pepper a try. You won't regret it.

Italian cuisine is one of our country's favorites, and you can get some authentic variety at Aldo's Ristorante. A fine dining experience begins with an appetizer of deliciously bright Tuscan Bruscetta or New York Strip Carpaccio. Choosing from among the house favorites can be a difficult choice, but picking the Filetto Al Cognac or the Bistecca Pizzaiola will bring a smile every time. No Italian meal is complete without some vino, and there's always a nice selection at Aldo's.

Many other international cuisines can be discovered just by taking a drive around town or asking your hotel's concierge.
