Love Song — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

My wife and I drive by the place during the daytime a few times, thought it looked cool and finally checked it out on my bday with my mom. The place was surprisingly PACKED for a Thursday, we didn’t have a reservation but decided to wait since we always wanted to try it. They have a bar in the back so we went there, funny enough it was a bday party so I didn’t mind especially when they sang happy bday. It was about a 20min wait but it was SO worth it!!! You could tell our waitress/host was under the pump with it being so busy but she was super hospitable and friendly which we appreciated! Actually, all the staff seemed to be vibing - which coming from a restaurant background myself you love to see! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish we were so blown away! It’s shared plates style which we loved but the flavors…you can tell the chefs are passionate about what they do. It’s pretty dangerous that we live close by bc we’ll...

Our waitress had such a haughty, snotty, condescending attitude. She was so consumed with elevating herself at our expense. My niece had invited me to go Love Song to enjoy their olive oil cake for dessert. I had heard some positive remarks from one of the surgeons that I work with, so I had high hopes. As soon as we sat at the empty bar and encountered our server, all of my joy left me and room. I was anxious to leave so we did not bother to finish the cake. I couldn’t bear another moment surrounded by the negative energy and vibe. No LOVE Song there! I know and enjoy quality, good food and I definitely wish to support local businesses but I suggest you bring your curriculum vitae as Love Song is for intelligentsia not necessarily diners, so be prepared! I was hoping for delicious cake, happy, welcoming people and perhaps a new restaurant to support....

Thrilled I finally got to try out Love Song. I’ve walked past daily; always busy with a charming vibe. They didn’t disappoint!

Sitting at the bar felt like having a culinary front row seat; no barrier between kitchen and guest, just pure energy and creativity on display.The bartender was a delight, with plenty of good recommendations to guide the night.

Every dish was created with intentionality had flavor in abundance (sometimes a little too much, looking at you Dijon-packed clams 👀) Luckily the baguette balanced things out some.

But the star of the evening? The duck breast. Perfectly cooked rice, rich au poivre, and just the right amount of indulgence. Something I’d easily order again.

Great music. Beautiful vibes. Delish food. Superb wine selection. And truly wonderful people. What more can you ask for? Would...
