Quemar is now my favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach! The ambiance is perfect and the smoky aroma from around the restaurant is so unique. All the drinks and food were phenomenal and our waitress, Toni, was incredible and so friendly! 10/10 already planning the next time we come!
This place is definitely the place to be if you’re looking for something with great food, drinks and atmosphere. Also, it’s not noisy at all and I enjoyed that most. I highly recommend. I ordered the Birria Happy Hour Tacos, Birria Dinner Entree with a margarita and Veramonte wine!
A real gem for the area. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and vibrant, with a perfect mix of modern style and authentic Mexican soul. We tried the birria tacos, burrito, and enchiladas — and every single dish was phenomenal. The birria tacos were rich, flavorful, and perfectly crispy. The burrito was massive, packed with tender, seasoned short ribs and fresh toppings. The enchiladas were comfort food perfection, with bold flavors and just the right amount of heat. Service was top-notch — friendly, fast, and welcoming. You can tell the team here cares about what they’re serving and the experience they’re creating. Was pleasantly surprised when the general manager came out to greet us personally when he found out it was our first time visiting. A must-visit for Virginia Beach. Can’t wait to come back!
We made a reservation but our table wasn't ready yet so the lady told us we could wait at the bar while we wait for our table to be ready. I think while we were at the bar she had forgotten about our table so my friend had to ask her if our table was almost ready to which she looked around and sat us down immediately when she saw a table that was ready. She gave us menus and within 5 mins that passed she came to check up on us and asked if a server had come to our table, to which we responded no and she immediately got someone to come over to take our orders. The food was delicious, and so are their drinks. The vibes are unmatched.
Such a nice place. I've been there several times and it never disappoints. It's elegant yet not stuffy. Great rotating menu with lots of vegetarian offerings as well as great beef, chicken and seafood. Really nice "Spanish" vibe almost. It's hard to put a finger on it, which makes it fun. Great drinks, wine and desserts finish it off. This is a great place to take a date on a romantic dinner. But wait! That's not all! There is also a large beautiful bar. Last time we were there we saw a DJ setting up. So go early and hit the bar before dinner.
I enjoyed the vibe of this restaurant as soon as I pulled into the parking lot. There is valet parking. My daughter and I sat at 1 of 2 bars. I ordered the carne asada tacos medium rare. She ordered the smoked brussel sprouts. The tacos had a avocado cucumber relish, goodness they were phenomenal. Our bartender was Abby and she was great. It's not a large menu so be prepared for that. It's a wonderful place to go on a date or a girls night out.
Amazing staff, food, and atmosphere! It’s so hard to find a good quality restaurant these days, but this place is very good. A special thank you to Toni (toni with an i ) for taking such good care of us and making us feel special on our first visit (of many soon!). Highly recommend it here!
We were immediately greeted at the door by Jonathan, who also turned out to be our server. He was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable! He asked if it was our first time dining with them, and we both said yes. He answered all of our questions with patience and grace. He told the kitchen that it was our first visit, so they sent out two tostadas with their flavorful guacamole. We ordered that as well as the Queso Flameado to start. No regrets, they were both amazing! I ordered the Argentinian Grilled Fish with mashed potatoes, chimichurri, and a sprinkling of almonds. When asked about that specific dish, Jonathan double-checked that it was Rockfish, which I am a huge fan of. It was prepared to perfection. Our son, who was treating me to dinner, ordered the Boneless Rib-eye cooked medium rare. The temperature was spot on. He thoroughly enjoyed his steak as I did my fish! Before he even paid the check, he was talking about coming back with his dad when we visit together again in May. I will never say no to dinner at Quemar!! It was just dinner, it was an experience! 12/10 recommend ** We just had another beautiful meal served by our favorite server, Jonathan!! I added photos of the Potato & Chorizo Appetizer, Short Rib Burrito, Chicken Tinga w/Carrot side, and the Argentinian Grilled Halibut. Delicious as usual!!!
