"Delicious cuisine. Fast, friendly service. Comfortable, pleasant atmosphere for a date night. Cheese board with tasteful offers with beautiful pairings. Good craft beer selection. Quinoa salad was light in texture, but surprisingly filling, with sweet and hearty notes. Cannolis with fresh mascara cheese and delicate crispy melt in the mouth shells."

"What an experience! We went for an anniversary celebration on a Sunday evening and chose The Colonnade at Hope and Glory for our special dinner. Knowing ahead of time that it was a prix fixe menu my husband worked with Heather to discuss some food intolerances limitations I had and prepared some alternatives to the menu. I could not have been more thrilled with what Chef Crockett chose. They are incredibly conscientious of peoples particular requirements and are more than happy to accommodate specific needs. Fresh made rolls with butter and rosemary from their garden, baked oysters with pesto and asaggio cheese melted on top, and vichyssoise soup with fresh chives, also from their garden to start. Our entrees included lump meat crab cakes with only a delicious aioli to hold it together, no fillers. For me, salmon with a delicious lemon and mustard sauce, both entrees accompanied by ratatouille and also glazed carrots for my husband. And to complete the meal, for desert a chocolate mousse with fresh whipped cream for me and a fabulous raisin filled bread pudding with sauce drizzled on top for my husband. Each course was paired with excellent wines and a bit of tawny port at the end to sip with desert. We have lived and traveled outside the US numerous times and we are hard pressed to think of another dining experience that compares to the ambience, the service, the quality and presentation of the food and the total experience that we enjoyed at The Colonnade. Once dinner was complete Chef Crockett came out to introduce herself. She could not have been more delightful, sharing that she began her cooking journey in Vienna, Austria where we discovered we lived very near where she had also lived, just a few years prior to us. From there it was on to formal French training and eventually on to Irvington where we were very lucky to meet her. If you ever looking for an opportunity to celebrate a special occasion, want a wonderful, intimate restaurant to enjoy a fine dining experience then look no further than The Colannade at Hope and Glory in Irvington, Virginia. It created a wonderful memory for us that we look forward to returning to on another occasion."

"Lovely service, great food! We stayed at Tides Inn for our anniversary weekend and restaurant is part of the Inn. Definitely make reservations in advance! Excellent fried oysters appetizer, nice plump oysters in light batter. We got complimentary champagne for our anniversary and also their bread rolls and butter were warm, crusty and a bit sweet Tried seared scallops with creamed corn scallops were delicious!Also had filet that was cooked to perfection!Everybody was so nice and eager to please!If you're there celebrating at the end of dinner your waiter gives you a locker key and on your way out you open corresponding locker that are located next to the bar and you'll find small box of tasty chocolates or macarons! That was nice surprise! Wonderful sunset and water views if you get seated at the table by window"

"There aren't that many dining options in the area so the Chesapeake ought to be the top choice for a nice dinner. It was certainly a rewarding change from the disastrous meal we had at another local eatery the previous evening. There are sufficient options on the menu to satisfy most people. The food was excellent nicely presented. All the servers were friendly helpful, but the lack of fine restaurant experience on the part of some of them was evident while the lack of a deep pool of experienced wait staff in this area is understandable, management could do a better job of training. They were all quite attentive however. Sufficient COVID precautions were in place and most diners wore masks when not at a table eating. Overall, this was a very good dinner we recommend it as the place to go when in the area"

"Unusual decoration for a restaurant, you are welcomed by two toothbrushes columns as you enter. Apparently the office was a dentist office before he became a restaurant and the owner decided to keep some of the motive. In any case, have visited several times and their food and service is consistently excellent. They can say that they are great pride and care in what they serve. It is a very popular restaurant and reservations are required. I occasionally had to book a few days and summers are particularly busy during the tourist season. They offer a variety of options and if you only get sick of fresh seafood that often offers the area, they serve excellent steaks. The bar is well equipped and they can do everything you can think. While the menu has a lot to offer, I almost always order one of their specials that add to diversity. It is a little pricy, but it is worth saving for a visit."
