- JJodieGoldVirginia •14 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 14, 2026Went for dinner and it was delicious! I had the beet salad followed by the pork tenderloin with Mac and cheese. The food was prepared to perfection. Not sure when I’ve had better pork. And my server was fabulous. Attentive but not hovering. I hadn’t been to the restaurant in awhile but I’ll make a point of driving to Norfolk again in the near future for another meal.More infoTodd Jurich's Bistro$$$$• Contemporary American• Norfolk•4.5
