Pretty decent breakfast right across the street from the beach. The cook has phenomenal "flapjacks" which I didn't know was a different thing from pancakes until eating here - but IT IS.

Little Tapas and decent drinks 5pm-2am most days of the week, probably like 6-7 minute drive straight down Granby Street. Pretty decent happy hour

Pretty chill place with good drink specials on weeknights. Everything comes with really delicious toast. You can sit outside in a little garden-y area. It's not the most vegetarian friendly restaurant if that's your thing, but they do have veg. chili.

Rooftop restaurant in downtown Norfolk overlooking the water and the marina. They have a decent happy hour with $4 local beers & $5 glasses of wine and half price appetizers. Also not very vegetarian friendly, but lots of potato-based apps that could suit your fancy. Or just come here to sit on the patio and enjoy the gorgeous view.

I mean the food's not that incredible, but the spot is pretty chill and is on the water. (like physically over top of the water)
