Went 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.

As far as restaurant vibes go, this is one of my favorite places in the 757 area code. We have been here before for dinners, but never for the Easter brunch. It was phenomenal. The food was outstanding, and the servers were hustling to make sure that everything was full at all times.  Despite the fact that it was a buffet and we didn’t need much service, I still felt that our server was attentive to any of our needs.  Grain will continue to be a place that I return to again and again.

Chyna was absolutely incredible, so very sweet and helpful and attentive. She was very good with my kids and that means a lot! She always had a smile on her face and never made us feel like we were a bother. Oh yes, the food was very yummy too ☺️the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had.

This restaurant is our favorite place to spend an evening. The staff is welcoming and very attentive. The food is excellent and the seasonal menus bring a variety not found any where else.
