What Skip doesn't like about Eat An American Bistro:
Overall, it tasted great. The portions are small. So just be ready for that. We bought our kids and they were very accommodating to our stroller and car seat. I would eat here again. But be ready to spend some cash and try a few different things off the menu.  View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about Eat An American Bistro:
The **** Mary gazpacho soup was incredible! Appreciated our server, Coral. She was personable, knowledgeable about menu selections, and efficient. Although we selected a Cabernet that we really enjoyed, the selection seemed too limited. View all feedback.

Coral, our server was fantastic!! Food was good. The

This restaurant brings unique and delicious flavors to Virginia Beach, despite being a bit pricey. While some dishes fell short, the soft shell crab and crispy rice paper halibut were highlights. The cozy atmosphere and exceptional service were commended, with standout dishes like the Fire and Ice appetizer and toffee dessert. The lack of parking is a downside, but the overall dining experience is a must for those seeking a fine culinary adventure. Whether enjoying fresh seafood or savoring creative cocktails, this restaurant promises a memorable evening and will have patrons eager to return for more.
