    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our waiter was efficient and helpful. We had a reservation but got there a little early and got seated right away.

    We brought friends from out of town and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the entire experience. The food is thoughtfully prepared and plated. I especially enjoy the pace of the meal. So many places start bringing entrees when the appetizer had barely been delivered. There is no rush and it is possible to relax and enjoy the entire meal. They obviously don’t start the entrees until the appetizer is delivered and it is never rushed, even though they stay busy! This is our go-to restaurant to take guests who enjoy good seafood.

    Had a fun evening with friends. Sat in the lovely smaller room overlooking the front lawn. The service was great and the food delicious (raw oysters, mussels, salmon, trigger fish, mahi). Look forward to our next visit;)

    By far one of our overall best dining experiences during our time visiting Colonial Williamsburg. Most notable were the PEI mussels (plentiful, perfectly prepared, tender, & flavorful) and the flash fried oysters (easily the very best we’ve ever had, anywhere.. which is saying a lot given we’re from the coastal Northeast). 10/10, Highly Recommend!

    The crab puffs snd crab cakes were delicious. The fried grouper was extremely fishy tasting for grouper and disappointing.

    I always eat here when I come into town. Some of the best seafood you can get. Reservations are suggested as seats go early from locals and visitors. A lesson we learned the hard way a few years ago! I make them a few weeks in advance. We had a wonderful evening. Service was great. Oysters, crab puffs, shrimp, and salmon at the dinner table. Everyone enjoyed.
