Monsoon Eclectic Modern Indian

Good Indian food, without the Indian experience.

Monsoon doesn't seem like a Indian restaurant. There's neon lighting, and it looks like a cool bar or night club. That being said, the restaurant caters towards a more western audience.

Some of the meat curries were good, but the Kolhapuri tasted like spicy tomato sauce with lamb (not recommended).  The vegetarian curries were great however such as the Chana Palak (recommended). The prices are a bit high for entrees ($15-$20)

Has a decent Indian beer selection, and great location if you're staying in the Hampton area.

Bali Hai Restaurant

This is for a DATE PLACE or Special Family Occasion only

My coworkers and I (6 guys) couldn't agree where to go to eat after working the whole day. Some one suggested Hawaiian (due to Yelp), and we ended up here.

The view is fantastic, as you get a view of the entire San Diego Harbor. The food is pretty good and fresh.. The Ahi Tuna and Poke were probably some of the highlights.As for drinks, the "strong drinks" pack a mild punch, well made enough to mask the rum and 151. (although as one co-worker pointed out, you get the Hawaiian prices, without the Hawaiian portions); which means, prices are a bit high ($20-$30) per plate and ($5-$7) per drinks, and the portions are kind of small.

So lesson learned...the one other co-worker who wanted to go to Tilted Kilt after work was a bit disappointed.

Freemason Abbey Restaurant

Just because you eat here doesn't mean you're a free mason.
Located in downtown Norfolk this place is pretty unique to the Norfolk area.

She crab soup is awesome: lots of crab, lots of seafood and creamy cost about $7-$8 dollars for a crock.

Crab Stuffed mushrooms were also decent, cheesy with crab chunks. Cost $9

Reason for 3 star is that not many beers on tap, however they have a decent selection of bottled Belgian beers.

Look out for the Wednesday lobster special.

Overall cool place to check out if you're in downtown Norfolk. Prices are a bit high, but worth a visit. It is a converted curch, so it seems like you're eating inside a medieval castle
