Crackers REVIEWS

Citysearch Editorial Profile – By Lesley Balla
Funky martinis and unusual tapas make this in bar a popular Riverview nightspot.

The Scene: This hip tapas bar fills with an ultracool crowd. Go with friends and share a table, or grab a bar stool and make friends with your neighbor. Half the fun is jockeying for room to chat over funky martinis and tasty tapas.

The Draw: The cocktail list is long and laden with fun names, like Southern Bondage, Marcus Welby and Purple Haze. Some drinks come with party favors: A popular quaff is the cosmopolitan made with Finlandia cranberry-infused vodka, triple sec and lime. Nothing goes better with the froufrou drinks than little plates of pork and ginger dumplings, fondue or homemade minipizzas. The best thing about the menu is that it's offered all night long.

Highly desirable...
This place has pizazz. Barkeep Steve Scott knows how to keep the patron guessing what's going to come next; try the Velvet Hammer with Vodka, Crème De Cacao and Cream "You won't feel a thing" to compliment that Filet Mignon tapa. Look for elbow-to-elbow conversation with some hip chicks or else come with a date for close interaction. This place is highly desirable and really cool. Your date, or that hip chick, might also be scored with the Smore's fondue grill. Go see.

Great place!
I tried this restaurant about a year ago and fell in love. Their tapas and martinis are amazing. Every plate I tried, I loved! When we went, we also got the smores platter, MMMMMM... This place is cool so you have to get there early.

My Norfolk Fav!
A tapas and martini bar on Granby. The environment is fun and energetic, the food is WONDERFUL, and the martinis are, well you be the judge! If that's not enough to entice you, try the smores served on a pu-pu platter - yum...and fun! If you are like me and associate a feeling with a place, you will definitely feel like you are at Crackers. The clientele is equally as eclectic as its part of town. The tapas and martinis are created with a flare of the unusualSbut oh so tasty! The menu changes seasonally so making a favorites list will repeatedly changeSand it¹s a good excuse to go back, often!
