Four Eleven York

“We had dinner here tonight to celebrate my son’s birthday with my husband and his grandparents. From the beginning, everything was impeccable. We were served water immediately and our server, Brian was amazing. He told us about the calamari special which was to die for. The drinks we ordered were so good! I got the Tequila Spritz and my husband got the Pomegranate Daiquiri. We ended up sharing them because we loved them both so much. Our dinners were beyond PHENOMENAL. I got the salmon and my husband got the wild mushroom risotto. His grandparents both got the flounder. All of us couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was! My salmon was cooked so perfectly and the combination of flavors was INCREDIBLE. I couldn’t keep my husband off my plate! We also received little “treats” during dinner. A cucumber with salmon tartare and a lemon aioli and later, a plate of amazing cheddar biscuits with blueberry compote and salted cream butter. Both were very well curated and tasty. To finish it off, we got a citrus custard dessert with chocolate that was so interesting and yummy. During this time, we were asked if we were celebrating and we told Brian just celebrating our sweet son’s 1st birthday. He very sweetly brought our boy a little cake with raspberry sorbet on a plate that said happy birthday with a candle. The smile on our son’s face wasn’t something I’ll ever forget. Thank you so much to staff and chef for an amazing dinner and experience. Easily the best dinner we’ve had in a long time.”

“Located near Ghent and downtown Norfolk, this restaurant was a really pleasant find. The parking lot is small, but we had no trouble finding street parking nearby. It was a little chilly tonight, but I imagine the outdoor seating would be perfect on a warmer evening. We didn’t have a reservation, but luckily we were seated within seconds. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it’s thoughtfully designed and perfect for a cozy date night. Every employee who passed by greeted us, which made the atmosphere feel especially welcoming. We started with the octopus, served with potato foam, pickled pear, and chorizo. For entrées, he ordered the duck and I had the pork bolognese. Both dishes were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We also ordered drinks. I do wish they had come out a bit earlier so we could enjoy them sooner, but the selection was impressive. We chose the bartender’s choice, which was a really fun experience. The waitress asks a few questions, and based on your answers the bartender creates a drink they think you’ll love. We were too full for dessert, though they did offer four different options. Overall, we were really happy we tried this restaurant and will definitely be back.”

“Outstanding experience! Wonderful flavors, beautiful presentations and warm welcoming staff. One of the few accessible places left that believes in amuse bouche. Definitely a perfect place for a special occasion. They enjoy their patrons enjoyment. We’re absolutely going back. ****Back a second time: we LOVE this place!!!! Definitely on our short list of favorites in Norfolk.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great date night spot! We sat outside on the covered patio, and the fire pits kept us warm, which was a nice touch. The menu is smaller with just a few appetizers and entrées, but everything we had was very good. They start you off with a small fish dish, followed by biscuits that were really good before your main meal. Our reservation was at 5:30, and we left around 7:00—it felt like a relaxed dining experience and never rushed. Our waitress Carly was great and really added to the experience. Would definitely recommend!”

“Beautiful very nice staff, we had arrived just a few min early and the staff was so gracious to seat us. Menu is created daily. Presentation was beautifully done. The hot honey however didn't taste right. Did not need syrup with the French toast, it was not drowned in egg just the perfect amount. The blackened Salmon was lovely great taste, English muffin was a little spongy hard to cut. He said that the chicken sandwich was great, while he was worried about no mayonnaise he determined it was perfect the way it was and the pickles really brought out the flavor however he could have used a little more pickles. Upon asking for a To go box asked for more whipped cream, she came back and showed me the whipped cream before placing it in the bag. Much appreciated.”
