We were a group of 10 and our service was fantastic with separate checks available. The view here from the patio dining area over the James River is wonderful at sunset. My lightly breaded fried shrimp though were more along the order of cocktail shrimp and for that reason disappointing. They were also out of their crab stuffed mushroom caps, which I've had there before and were delicious.
Super expensive! Quality was excellent! The host wasn't very welcoming. A wide open restaurant that night. And she put us right next to the loudest and obnoxious people there. When asked to move somewhere else, she gave a snotty response. My girlfriend was visiting from out of state which she didn't know, but wouldn't you think that a couple needs a bit of respect on a date night out! I'd find a new host and waitress. Didn't check on us but once. Other than that and the crippling market on seafood... Nice setting with the water!
This place was great! Clean, friendly staff, and awesome food! The views on the water were spectacular especially at night!!! The really amazing part is there was a lot of really great food and it was shockingly very reasonable!!! I loved it. I am already making plans to go back ASAP!!! And I'm a very picky eater. The only thing I was a bit upset about is that they did not offer sweetened tea...other than that, it was wonderful all around!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Service is wonderful but for the price...willing to make the shrimp myself. It has a somewhat sandy taste too so it was just okay. Probably not going back 😕
Great location right on the water and fishing pier. Service was great and the menu had a lot to offer. The oysters were exceptional!! The she crab soup was spicier than I was used to but was very good. Definitely bring sunglasses if you sit on the patio and are there around sunset. Highly recommend walking on the pier after. The crab pools were fun to look at.
