Chartreuse Bistro

Incredible, outstanding, unique. Reserving a table was easy. The atmosphere was very quaint and calming; just what I needed after a month of chaotic work. The customer service was exquisite, especially as E was waiting on three tables and K was cooking up magic in the kitchen. The food was so good!! Left feeling more than satisfied; no evening snacks required tonight. Then finished the night with a few cocktails, including an off-menu cocktail that E made up on the spot and wow; it hit the spot. The perfect warming cocktail to finish the night on. Amazy!! Thank you and see you soon team!!

I sought out Chartreuse Bistro based off of reviews prior to visiting the Norfolk area. I am really glad I was able to stop in for lunch. The service was incredible & the menu was unique in a way that makes you want to go back to see what else they come up with. I had a great time & wish the owners the best to keep doing what they do.

Great time here as out of towners from New York. Feels like a spot in Brooklyn nestled in Norfolk

May be the best restaurant in Norfolk. Food, service, atmosphere and wine were perfect.

I love this place so much! Probably my favorite restaurant in Norfolk. Incredible food that’s always fresh and surprising. Great drinks (get the DC Gin and Tonic if you’re a G&T fan) and very personal service. We love coming here.

The staff was so personable and made this restaurant seem like a fancy night out but also as comfortable as if I was at home on my couch. The food is incredible and I love how the menu changes everyday based on what is fresh and locally available. So fun!

What a wonderful experience. My boyfriend surprised me and took me here to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We both left very happy, I would highly recommend.

Chef Chris is an inspirational person. He without question loves his cuisine, the taste of the food is very unique and deserves attention. I was served a pickled jalapeno club soda, a very airy and well seasoned focaccia (if you enjoy a cheese pizza with no sauce you will greatly enjoy this). The Faroe Islands Salmon was perfectly cooked, the crusty sear, medium rare, the chocolate hummus I'm not gonna lie sounds like a crazy idea, but the bitterness of the chocolate blended well with the fish, the radish, and the pesto. Finished lunch off with a slice of almond orange cake, dark chocolate ganache, covered with a homemade whipped cream. It was so amazing, the chocolate was very vibrant, the cream made it obviously creamy, but then you got this pop off orange, all without it being overly sweet. I don't know if these recipes will ever be there again since they change their menu daily and get deliveries from local farmers (Mattawoman Creek Farms was one of the names) also the fish is also locally sourced. Don't miss out on what could be a one time experience.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Chartreuse. The outstanding service began with the call for reservations and didn't end until we left that evening. When making my reservation, I explained to the hostess that my husband had a food allergy and that it was a special night for us. When we arrived, our menus Were made just for us with "Happy Anniversary" printed on them. While ordering with our server, he was aware of the food allergy and made sure to communicate it with the chef without needing a reminder from us. The food was incredible! It was quiet in the restaurant (we were there on a weeknight). The dining room is open and Modern. The meal was a bit on the pricey side but it was worth it and we were celebrating. we will surely return there for another amazing meal. Chartreuse, if you are reading this, thank you for making our anniversary even more special!

Love the food and the service was excellent
