One of Norfolk’s most celebrated waterfront restaurants, Stripers Waterside sits on the downtown waterfront with sweeping views of the Elizabeth River and the Norfolk Naval Station — the world’s largest naval base — across the water. Fresh local striped bass and Chesapeake Bay seafood are the kitchen’s focus; the sunset views over the river and the quiet, often-overlooked drama of America’s busiest naval port make Stripers one of the most distinctive dining settings in Virginia.
