Reviews for Codex in Norfolk, VA
Best dining experience of my life. And we eat at a lot of restaurants. Service was PHENOMENAL. She made great recommendations... and asked all the right questions to help us find the perfect dish. We started with the Brussels sprout appetizer. It was so wegood we ordered another one. DO NOT sleep on the Brussels. I had the downtown revival cocktail- slightly sweet&sour and veryrefreshing. My husband had the old fashioned and loved it. He ordered the crab cakes which was a special the night we went andthey were incredible. I had the duck. It came with a vegetable medley and sweet potato soufflé. It was so tender and wellflavored. I savored every bite. It was food heaven. As for overall experience- the restaurant is well designed and styled. Wewent in the evening and the low light made for an intimate feel. Even the bathrooms were immaculate with a modern feel and greatsmelling candles lit. If you’re in the area, it’s a must. Read more
New favorite for a special night out. The vibe is upscale industrial hipster in an intimate dining room. The food is... imaginative. The service was excellent in every way. Will definitely be back. Read more
Ordered quite a few things off the menu. The fresh oysters were amazing and the anchovies and ham. The carrots and the... cauliflower were really good. However the main courses left a lot to be desired. The a steak was cold and the duck was sub-par.However the sticky toffee was amazing. Read more
My husband found this place from inspecting their kitchen hood. He said they had the cleanest hood and kitchen he has seen in... the Hampton Roads and wanted to try it out. I made reservations on the Resy app. Upon first impression the place is verymodern, clean, cute, small and intimate. We were sat down instantly upon arrival. Our waitress was Stephanie. She was so sweetand personable. She recommended a really delicious drink called the Jubilee. First we ordered oysters. When it first came out Iliked the presentation but a little sad there were only 3 for $9. However it was probably the best oysters ever. Whatever saucewas on it was sooo delicious. Then for dinner my husband and I ordered Rock Fish. We scrapped the plate, it was THAT good. Toend off dinner we ordered desserts. Olive Oil cake with lemon flavored icing which doesn't sound good but was to die for!!!!! Myhusband enjoyed his Pots Du Creme, rich in chocolate. Overall amazing service. Nice intimate atmosphere. Drinks on point. Foodcame out quick and soooo mouth watering. Definitely a 5 star experience! Read more
Everything we ate was delicious, the cocktails were great and our waitress, Brie, was super helpful in answering all of our... questions, and was conscientious of the fact that we wanted to be able to leave by a certain time to get to the theater. It wasour first time and we’ll definitely be back! Read more
Went to codex on their grand opening week and let me tell you!!! We started off with their scallops and the most interesting... toast i have ever had. Went with the half chicken. They cooked it to perfection!!! Well worth the wait!! Read more
Didn’t get a picture of the meal, but the menu has few options but they’re crafted with much love. I ended up getting the... burger and it was delicious. A good place to go if you want to pay a little extra but more delicious and more unique tastes. Theplace also has some good options on beers, wines, and IPAs. Read more
My review cannot do enough justice for this place. Went with a group of friends and ordered almost everything, sharing with each... other. Everything was amazing! My favorites and must try were the pimento cheese spread, and brussel sprouts for appetizers. Formain dishes, the ribeye was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth. The burger is easily in the top 5 best burgers I'veever had. The chicken was moist and oh so good! Go eat here, you will not be disappointed!! Read more
