“ What a fun place!!! We came here for Sunday brunch to celebrate a friends birthday and it did not disappoint!! The food was great, drinks were amazing, the dj was fantastic, the staff was great ... just an overall great experience for brunch!! ”
“ Celebrated a friend's birthday here. The service was amazing!!! The cleanliness was amazing!!!! The DJ was really good!!! The atmosphere is so nice. Shots on the ferris wheel were too cute. The food...WHEEEEEW LAAAAWD. SOOOOO...I am from Mississippi. I have only been in VA for two years. I have had any good food, from privately owned restaurants. I tried lambchops for the first time, and their crab egg rolls Let me say, the chef deserves every dime plus more. I am going back for takeout. Did I mention the lambchops and eggrolls You definitely need to make reservations if you want a table. My ticket was 70, with gratuity and whatever else they charged. AFTER EVERYTHING...it didn't even matter. For the record, yes, we have been given plastic to eat with, but we preferred it. I have not eaten from restaurant silverware since covid. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN EXPERIENCE AND PRIVILEGE ”
“ I love Privilege for the most part. I have had three parties here since they opened. I didn’t give 5 stars because some of my party had issues but for me everything I had was great. I highly recommend the snapper and salmon bites. This is a nice spot for a birthday celebration or girls night. They have a DJ and they even bring out the cake with sparkles and have you all hyped up and having a good time. ”
“ This was my 1st time here. Beautiful establishment. Great customer service. The waitress checked on me at least 4 or 5 times to make sure I was good and taken care of. That's something very important. Also the owner came by and checked and made sure everything was good. I saw him checking on the other guests also. That's a plus when the owner takes time to greet and check on the customers. Food was really good. I had the lobster and Waffles, eggs scrambled with cheese, French toast and the cooked apples. It was all good. The lobster was fried and seasoned to perfection. French toast were great. The cooked apples made me feel like I was at my aunts house in NC. Eggs were good also. In addition I had a OJ and Mo Money Mimosa. That was good also. I definitely recommend this establishment and I will me coming back again. ”
“ We had a ladies night out. So just to let you know, this is sit down atmosphere with a good social vibe. This place was very nice, our waiter Scooter was the best. He was friendly, accommodating and professional. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the salmon bites and the lamb chops. I will be returning for brunch. The lemon drop was delicious. ”

The food was amazing( compliments to the chefs.) They really came through with the food. And the drinks were good as well. The atmosphere was really nice. My daughter really enjoyed her day. Plus, the Dj was playing the jams for sure. Everything was definitely a vibe. If you haven't been, you definitely should go check them out. I definitely recommend these places. ”
“ Went there for a friend's birthday dinner. I arrived 30 mins early and was able to park out front...others in my party parked behind building. The host, who was sitting down on her phone, acted like she didn't want to be there and said she would have to put the tables together, give her 10 mins. We were seated directly in front of the door, so we kept feeling the draft of the cold air. The server was pleasant and patient. We were given water and time to review the menu via QR code. We ordered, and our mixed drinks came out first 10/10. My Caesar salad was heavily dressed, like I like it 10/10, but was given a To go pack of plasticware....wth! 10 mins later my Tuscan chicken, herb rice, and brocolini came out 8/10...flavor was there, broccolini too hard to cut with plasticware, and rice was crunchy...the person beside me had the same issue. They sang happy birthday, and the strawberry crunch bundtini was 8/10. There was a dj there along with a full bar and hookah. Overall, the place would get a 4.5/5 for me points taken away from crunchiness of rice and broccolini. ”
