Coastal Virginia Culinary Awards Winner 2024
From the Nov.-Dec. 2024 issue of Coastal Virginia Magazine:
“Eurasia strikes a balance between chic elegance and casual comfort,” notes one frequent diner, making this near-Oceanfront fave the Philippe Petit of local fine dining. Poised staff maintain the high-wire act of refined yet relaxed service while conscientiously sourced, globally accented contemporary American food (Sesame-Crusted North Carolina Tuna in Vietnamese fish sauce, Lemon Ricotta Ravioli) holds equal sway with impressive wines (many accessible by the glass), striking whiskeys and mocktails on par with perfect martinis.
Choose indoors (at the upbeat bar or in the dining room with its airy botanical motif) or outside on the tented terrace: you cannot go wrong either way. Perhaps equilibrium should be expected given the razor’s edge nature implied by “Eurasia”—when Jerry Flowers, David Edelen and partners purchased the restaurant in 2007, retaining the name equaled money saved by not buying a new sign. Now, with The Atlantic on Pacific and Sorella’s, Eurasia has generated a mini-empire.
