About

Right from the beginning, we knew we wanted to bring an intimate American tavern to the newly reimagined Cavalier Hotel. We envisioned a refuge where patrons and guests could relax and unwind by the fire, sipping a handcrafted cocktail or sharing a meal with family and friends.

Sophisticated cuisine inspired by rustic, old world traditions as well as savory handheld masterpieces and perfectly balanced plates.

We’re proud to offer only the finest cuts and freshest ingredients, many of which come from local farms and fisheries right here in Hampton Roads.

"Tucked inside the heart of the Cavalier Hotel"

Refresh your senses with one of our original cocktails – featuring handcrafted spirits from Tarnished Truth Distilling, located right here within the Cavalier Hotel.
Discover classic revivals, smoked cocktails, and our stable of stallions. Or choose from a variety of carefully selected wines by the glass or the bottle, as well as drafts and bottled beer from just down the road or halfway around the world.

"Modern style is carefully infused with Southern charm"

Chef Zachary Melillo

Meet the Chef

Chef Zachary Melillo got his start in the “dive bars” of Fredericksburg, Virginia – his hometown – but later moved to Hampton Roads to attend the Culinary Institute of Virginia. He cooked his way from prep cook at our sister restaurant Becca, also located in the Historic Cavalier Hotel, to his current Executive Chef position here at the Hunt Room. Melillo has a talent for creating new and exciting dishes with unique, uncommon ingredients. Hunt Room guests can discover these dishes on the regular menu and in the Chef’s popular weekly specials.
