Restaurants near Fort Monroe

Christmas Day Delight with my sons: Orion's Roof is a beautiful rooftop restaurant nicely decorated for the holidays with gorgeous views of the ocean. Our server Dustin was friendly, helpful, and highly attentive. Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees arrived in perfect timing. His recommendations were highly accurate. The food ranks among the highest we have ever enjoyed. One of my sons said the food rivaled the Michelin 2-star restaurant he ate at in Argentina last week! We had the duck, Singapore noodles, prime rib, and an Asian alfredo type dish. All were impeccably prepared to perfection. The food melted in our mouths. The overall ambiance was so pleasant, and the manager had a good presence checking in as we arrived and left. While it is more than we usually spend, it was worth the extra money to have an incredibly high level of culinary ability and the superior waitstaff of Dustin.

Wife, son and I shared a wonderful dinner at Saltine after WinterFest at Nauticus. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our server Mattie was friendly, funny and attentive but not pushy. The food was served at the appropriate interval and temperature. The atmosphere is lovey and inviting, and although the restaurant was crowded, it wasn’t loud and we were treated as if we were the only patrons. We highly recommend it. Well done. Full marks.

Great food. Loved the prix fixe menu. Very well done.

Our server, Jeremy, was friendly, accommodating and ensured our dinner was exactly what we wanted, how we wanted it. He was moving quickly between tables, yet made everyone (we watched) in our area feel important and welcome. Chefs delivered our plates with a smile! Merry Christmas Cavalier! See you in 2025💕🤣

Fantastic for family gathering.
