My family and I took a drive into downtown Norfolk last night and decided to drop into Freemason Abbey at the corner of Boush and Freemason Streets.
The atmosphere is absolutely awesome (a church converted into a restaurant), the service was terrific (thanks, Chris!), and the food was just perfect.
We started off with calamari over a marinara that melted in your mouth. Then, for a main course, my wife had the free range buffalo steak (medium), which she found absolutely phenomenal, and I went for the prime rib au jus (medium rare) that was tender and flavorful. We closed with a sinful dessert and coffee.
Freemason Abbey also offers great steak, lobster and pasta dishes, in addition to some unique cuisine such as alligator and quail.
We were lucky to walk in, and, if you go, I’d recommend reservations. They’re open from 6 p.m. – midnight.
If you want a great dining experience for any occasion or just a night out – choose Freemason Abbey.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and not an advertisement. We went in, ate, paid our bill in full, and left (very happy and full, I might add!).
