    Our server was great. We both ordered NY strip. This place should take "Steakhouse" out of their name. The steak was terrible and they do not have any of the side dishes you expect to find in a traditional Steakhouse. Never going back.

    Ennis was the best waiter that we have had the pleasure of experiencing in the Virginia Beach area. He was extra attentive and added value to our first time dining at Gaston’s. We will definitely be back and owe all the credit to Ennis & his team.

    The food was wonderful and the service was good. I just thought they should have at least given my son-in-law a dessert for his birthday.

    My $53 steak was cold, it shouldn’t be. Period. We waited a long time for food so I ate it but that’s a bad sign for a steakhouse
