Hampton Roads Club Mini

We came back from eating here at Surf Rider Bluewater in Hampton.

I see they have Surf Riders in Va Beach.  If you haven't eaten there before  it's  a great place to go.  The 3 of us have different tastes and this was one of the rare places everybody left FULL and HAPPY. :P

Well I thought that might be cool    We do not eat out as much as we used too.

1.  It seems eating out has gotten real expensive. Food Tax I beleive.

2.  We were eating at the same places all the time.

3.  Surf Rider gave me the idea.  It was new to us. Everyone enjoyed it. Ordered 6 meals - 3 deserts (not all for me) for $100.00  and the atmosphere was fantastic being at the Marina.  Next time I like to go during the day. I think the secret is to have 5+ people to get the cool room looking out at the boats. :P  You up for lunch sometime  :D

Chester & family are always up for a lunch date too!  Just name the time & place and we'll be there!

Well; if yall ever come to the outskirts then try here:
Malibu Macs...for Pacific Coast Cousine or BoardWok for Asian Eats. They are both GREAT!! service to die for.......

i'm hungry...who's planning dinner???

My ZUSHI review     (I zuppose this is the right place for it)

Zushi- a Japanese Sushi Restaurant in Towne Center VB

I've been a major sushi fan since my Miami Beach days in the 90's...

Positive:
Went to the movies with a friend, Regal Columbus 12 is my favorite theater, not too crowded (like Lynnhaven is) or too high schoolish (like Greenbrier is) and is nearby for me.. parked for the movie and Zushi is a block and half away, very convenient walk

atmosphere was upscale minimalist, polite and attentive service; we went about 6pm on a Saturday, it was largely empty but filled up in the hour we were there

had 2 cocktails with dinner, but they cost as much as dinner did (they were quality at least!); had 2 sushi rolls, a small salad and an appetizer, was about $20 for food, but $40 bill b/c of drinks (for 1)

THE SUSHI WAS EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!

Negative:
I thought they need some better atmosphere music, or if they had it it was down too low, didn't notice it

the chopsticks were round stainless steel, and I (not being a zen master) had difficulty with them, since there was no friction (they were kind of pointy and slick, I almost sent a tempura shrimp whizzing across the room  )

could be considered pricey, but then the m&ms at the movie were about the same price lol

Overall:
I liked it, it was upscale, calm, formatted, adult-oriented (and bargain-basement sushi isn't smart anyway)
Probably not good for small children, but I did notice there were some families eating when we were leaving.

I'll go back again I'm sure.     

(( it takes me maybe 10 minutes to write, and then 15 minutes to correct all my spelling errors lol, TG for teh :edit: button  =))

hey that's actually about 1 mile away from me... I must check that out!!

(I usually don't go in that direction for whatever reason)
