Orapax Restaurant and Bar

Stopped here for lunch before checking out the Chrysler Museum. Friendly service. Nice variety of food options. We tried the fried flounder, the spanakopita, the salmon with lemon dill dressing , greek eggrolls, and baklava. The salmon and orzo were well cooked although I didn't love the lemon dill dressing. The flounder and spanakopita got two thumbs up. We would not get the eggrolls again - but at least they were on happy hour special (Sat 12 to 3!) so we didn't pay full price. They don't have the baklava cheesecake any longer per our server :(

Nice spot to try some Greek food. It gets busy but the service is quick and exceptionally friendly. The interior is so pretty and cozy. They have a good variety of apps, drinks, and foods like wraps, bowls, pizzas, gyros, vegan, etc. They don’t skimp on portion sizes here and you get plenty of food for the price. I had the shawarma bowl with falafel and I was impressed with how full of flavor and filling it was. Drinks were strong enough. The parking lot behind the restaurant fills up quickly but there is plenty of street parking. It’s tucked away in the quiet neighborhoods of Norfolk and worth the trip.

SOOOO excited to see the all vegan menu here. Decided to try it out on a Saturday night. It was crazy busy, but there was a neighborhood feel to the atmosphere that I really enjoyed. Our 10-minute wait was actually more like 25-30min, but that's ok (like I said busy). The food was mostly delicious with great flavors. My side of Greek potatoes were almost raw, but that was the only negative. Thankfully, you're provided with bottles of water on the table because we didn't get the drinks we ordered (coke/lemonade) until our meals. Loved that they have high chairs/boosters readily available and a changing table in the bathroom (women's not sure about men's). Our server was friendly. Overall, it was a great night out. Vegetarian options: Many vegan options that are clearly labeled in their own section on the menu. Parking: Parking is tight, but that's just how it is in that whole area.

Greek salad is so good! Pizza is vert tasty and delicious

Very good place for authentic Greek cuisine. Largest variety of choices for Greek food. This is a family-friendly as well as date- night environment. Options for bar seating, high table, and outside seating. Looks to maintain an older theme, but well maintained.

Over peppered and over salted two different dishes. The kids pizza is very tiny
