Frommer's Review

This casual storefront cafe was a pioneer in downtown's renaissance, and it's still one of Granby Street's top restaurants. In fact, its crab cakes are among the best in all of Norfolk. Asian flavors crop up here, as in the Napa snapper -- red snapper with Napa cabbage in a lemon-grass broth. You also can opt for one-person pizzas with usual and unusual toppings. There's always a vegetarian selection such as tofu fried in a spicy chile-and-garlic sauce.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
