Went with some friends to the Isle of Capri Italian Restaurant, located atop the Holiday Inn Sunspree on Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach VA.
The atmosphere makes dining a pleasure. I ordered the veal marsala ($18.95), while Randy ordered the Chicken Milanese ($15.95), and Nellie & Louise both ordered the veal chop ($27.95).
Most things on the menu are a la carte where there are bountiful appetizers and salads (the Caesar salad is prepared tableside and is $6.95 per person (minimum 2 persons)).
Since it was Louiseās 85th birthday, she indulged in a bottle of White Zinfandel ($20) which she found crisp and delicious. The servers kept our glasses full, the bread plate replenished, and we never wanted for anything.
Our server even surprised Louise with a special piece of birthday cake that was served with a raspberry reduction.
The cost for the dining experience for 4 was (after tip) $160, but it was a night to remember.

The Isle of Capri is more interested in making pretty numbers on the books to show their investors and board of directors, than it is interested in running a profitable business and taking care of their guests (or their employees). I personally have never been treated so badly at a property that I built with my own hands. The Isle encourages harassement of their senior team members as a way to reduce staffing (pay roll) without having to pay unemployment or severance benefits.
Beware of investing in a company that has no proficiency at functioning in a competative market.
