Business Description from the Web

After 20 years of working for the man, brothers Roger and Tom Evans' dream came to fruition when The 219 opened its doors on July 18, 1997. Roger's mother-in-law, Marilyn Heilig, created a menu and several signature dishes that would rank her among the most highly touted chefs in Hampton Roads. Her softball-sized jumbo lump crab cake is quite possibly the best you'll ever have. Yeah, yeah, we... more

The 219 offers the best in trendy atmosphere and award winning cuisine. Seven year Golden Fork Award and best established restaurant in the Hamptons Roads area in 2004. One of their many specials is the Giant Lump Crabcakes.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Continental cuisine that's all in the family, and all over the world.

In Short Contemporary art on the walls (not to mention the traffic light in the bar) tease the eye, but diners focus primarily on a global menu featuring creative appetizers, gourmet pizzas, and specialty salads. Multicultural influences are evident in dishes like chipotle corn chowder and fried catfish with soy ginger-chive sauce. If you don't believe it all inspires world harmony,... more

Norfolk’s Granby Street is dubbed "restaurant row" and for good reason---the proliferation of fine restaurants along this stretch offers patrons a variety of cuisines. The 219’s menu is not extensive, but in this case, less is better. Many of the dishes use Asian inspiration to tease the senses with the smells and tastes of lemongrass, ginger, tamarind and wasabi. Owned by brothers Roger... more

A block north of The Blue Hippo, this casual storefront cafe was a pioneer in downtown's renaissance, and it's still Granby Street's top restaurant. In fact, its crab cakes are among the best in all of Norfolk. Asian flavors crop up here, as in the Napa snapper -- red snapper with Napa cabbage in a lemon grass broth. You also can opt for one-person pizzas with usual and unusual toppings.... more

Just don't go there for brunch. Food isn't bad, service is slow, but as a regular I've noticed most of the staff remembers me and they are usually short handed. Expect to take your time

I have never walked out of restaurant before eating until today.

My girlfriend and I came across this place this afternoon and decided to give a it a try. We were not surprised to find the place less than half capacity being that it was the middle of a Sunday and we were promptly seated in the front corner of the restaurant. There was a large table to my left that had all the evidence of its... more

I'm really tired of seeing such bad reviews of the place, a restaurant in such a prime location with such an eclectic menu shouldn't be talked about so bad. sometimes at a place that isnt corporate will slip, without business you can't pay for the quality items. I'm sure the cooks are aggravated as well, all cooks take great pride in what they make, and if money gets in the way of that... well,... more
