Interlude Restaurant & Bar

Decided to take my family (6) for Valentine’s lunch here since i had a $ 25 certificate to use. This is a bar/​restaurant settings inside Westin hotel with a few tables & nice atmosphere. There was only one cool waitress working & i guess a manager (the place was not as busy as the others thank god) that greeted us as we walked in. We started with appetizers (3 salmon tacos, 3 steak tacos) at $ 24 total i thought was a bit pricy but delicious. We followed our orders with entrees… Pork chop, short boneless ribs, buffalo chicken flatbread pizza, waffle chicken sandwhich, and cobbler chicken salad were all delicious with enough portions to enjoy, and served in a timely manner. Our server took care of us very well.

My husband and I chose to celebrate our Valentine’s Day dinner date at Interlude. Located inside the Westin which provides for convenient parking options in Town Center in Virginia Beach. The décor is modern with a nice bar area. Guests seat themselves. We were greet by a friendly waitress named Jess. She gave us the dinner menu and also showed us the three-​course meal that was offered. We had a Groupon, so we asked it could apply to the Valentine’s Day special and Jess said that was fine! My husband and I were thoroughly satisfied with our entire meal: appetizers– spinach salad and bacon covered shrimp; entrée– prime rib and rockfish; dessert– coconut cake and molten lava cake. We also had amazing service from Erin! She was very attentive and came to check on us at appropriate intervals. Our dinner course flowed smoothly. We will definitely be coming back to Interlude! Thank you for making our dinner date so enjoyable!

Friends from out of town came to visit so we went to Interlude to hang out and eat tonight. The food took awhile to come out. No biggie. Then the manager turned the TV directly above our heads on full blast (literally the volume was maxed out on 100.) When we asked her to turn it down, she did and stated «oh I didn’t think about you all.» It’s a bar. Bars are loud. Again, no biggie. The same manager delivered our food shortly after. The $ 18 salmon was about 2 inches long and about an inch wide, poorly plated and under seasoned. When asked if that is the typical size, we were told its prepackaged. The other 3 orders were veggie burgers. Specially requested items were missing from each (add pickles for example) and my plate had a dried smudge of unidentified food. I reported it the manager who was serving us and she said «it looks like a dirty plate, I can put it on a new plate for you.» I frowned and she asked what I wanted her to do. It was a series of disappointing encounters. The reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is because all of the food was comped by the manager without us asking. But it was done so through a message from our original server with no apology or discussion from the manager. Overall, it was just not a great experience, especially considering it’s the Westin.

It’s a hotel bar… But that being said it had a calm atmosphere, really good food and amazing service no real complaints. Missing the last star because we thought it was more of a traditional restaurant. My wife had the sesame salmon with Asian slaw and it was a great portion of salmon. The only thing she said that should be different is pair everything together with a sweet balsamic reduction. I had the philly steak flatbread and it was great!

Interlude has a new menu as of today, so I was told by the concierge. Deciding to take a chance on them, I went in and was greeted right away with friendly smiles and a wave: «sit wherever you want sweetie»! I looked through their menu and decided on the Pork Chop. H e a v e n l y ! ! ! Perfectly grilled meat and vegetables. The grilled butter squash just about melted in my mouth and flooded it with flavors. Pan-​fried onions were caramelized and tasty. The grilled vegetables were crunchy and soft at the same time. So glad I «stayed in» to dine onsite as I was staying at the Westin’s anyway. Best of all — checked in on Unilocal!and got 10% off.
