First time at this lovely restaurant. Great customer service and the good was mind blowing. From the presentation to the mouth watering tast. Wow and agin WOW!! Had to park at the Main Hotel garage and work right across the street to the restaurant. It was very convenient $2.00 to park. Clean and inviting, its was a private birthday party upstairs. I will most definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Ordinare Restaurant offers a cozy, inviting atmosphere with affordable prices. The music was a little loud for my taste, but overall it added to the lively and enjoyable vibe. I started with the apple brandy sour, and it was outstanding—easily one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. For my meal, I began with the she-crab soup, which was rich and flavorful. My main dish was The Thick Shorty—tender short ribs served over pasta with a house-made sauce—and it was absolutely delicious. Dessert was the perfect finale: a sugar cookie baked in a personal-sized cast-iron skillet, topped with homemade ice cream. It was indulgent, warm, and the ideal way to end the meal. Before leaving, I had the chance to meet on

My fiancé and I decided to randomly go to Ordinaire for a date night and it did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Mrs.Green, the owner who immediately seated us. She made sure our table had intimate lighting and our server came shortly after to attend to us. The entire staff was polite and professional. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured and our server was very knowledgeable on every menu item we had questions about. The food was AMAZING!! OMG SO GOOD! I ordered She Crab Soup for my appetizer and for my entree; lamb chops, roasted brussel sprouts and mash potatoes. It was all seasoned to perfection and plated beautifully. I never ever ordered dessert at restaurants , but I decided to try the sweet potato bread pudding…LOST FOR WORDS! It was perfection! Overall Ordi

Stumbled across this place walking in downtown Norfolk. Had a quick lunch of she crab soup and a slice of rum cake. The cake was incredible, somebody's mama put they whole foot in there and wiggled her magical toes. The she crab soup was topped with a mini crab cake, and was so savory and creamy. It had a nice kick to it, just like in the Charley-O The atmosphere was a vibe. Great brunch spot and I am looking forward to my next visit already.

Dad and I stopped in Friday night, our 1st time. We ordered the Salmon Bites as the app and they did not disappoint! Dad ordered the Cajun Seafood Pasta, which he said was quite flavorful but a little too liquid for him. He needed a piece of bread to dip in. I had the Ordinaire Burger and it was delicious. The fries were good but not my favorite. Our server Amaya was nice and friendly. You should definitely stop by and try them out. BIPOC friendly and great music.
