We have lived within a short distance of 99 Main for many years but have never given it a try. I have heard people say it has become dated or tired so I wasn't anxious to try it out. We went on a whim when we got an unexpected babysitter. We had a DELIGHTFUL dinner. Our waitress was charming and... More

Visited 99 Main for my hubby's birthday dinner on Feb. 1. Our reserved booth was decorated with confetti and ribbon. Hostess/server greeted us with a Happy Birthday wish for my hubby. Very nice touch. Restaurant has two dining rooms...one with booths/tables and looks in to open kitchen. The other a little more formal with tables/cloths. We preferred the relaxed booth... More

We went to 99 Main for the first time this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the French onion soup and the filet with bearnaise and my husband had a ribeye with a mushroom sauce. The soup was good and the steaks were excellent. They were cooked perfectly, the sauces were delicious, and the sides were just right. The... More

I love the intimate atmosphere. This is a small restaurant with fantastic food. Some of the food on the menu is unique to other restaurants in this area such as "Coq au vin" and "Roasted Duck." I was there on a Wednesday and bottles of wine are 20 percent off which is a great deal. I highly recommend 99 Main... More

99 Main, in Newport News, is my favorite restaurant in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, area. It is a non-assuming smallish bistro style place with understated elegance just off Warwick Blvd. The emphasis is French and always great. They have an oyster appetizer ("99 style") that will knock your socks off, a superb shank of veal and a wonderful beef tenderloin... More

There are two good restuarants in Newport News and this is one of them. It has a bistro style with a continental focus. Good wine choices.

At our waitress' suggestion, we ordered the... More
