Mathews Restaurants

My husband and I were in Williamsburg for the 4th of July and wanted to find a nice brunch before heading home. We found The Riverwalk in Yorktown, and it was the perfect choice. The brunch buffet was fantastic—fresh fruit, cheeses, made-to-order omelets and waffles, and the best grits I have ever had. The shrimp and grits entrée was outstanding, but it was the grits themselves that truly shined. Beautiful setting overlooking the water, good and friendly service, and everything was clean and inviting. We definitely recommend!

Wonderful experience amazing views and food that is a chef’s kiss 😘

One of my favorite restaurants in the middle neck of Virginia, always a pleasure to go

Food was exceptional as usual. Seemed like they were short on wait staff we were there on 7/1/25 during lunch time. Waitress did an ok job, but never wrote anything down and had to come back to the table multiple times to confirm drink and food order. Also one of the drinks had the wrong requested alcohol. on

Celebrated our anniversary at The Tides Inn with our anniversary dinner at Salt & Meadow. Seated 20min early but were offered the option of waiting. Got the best seat in the house, a window table overlooking the docks and treated to a colorful thunderstorm. Cocktails: A perfect martini for me. My wife had the “Northern Neck” (vodka, mint, lime juice and cucumber) which was a bit too tart (different bartender than Peter who made a great one the evening before). Fabulous burrata and green goddess salads. The fresh catch was cobia, served over pearled couscous and buttermilk cream sauce. My wife loved it. I had the seafood paella; mussels, clams, and shrimp over bomba rice. Seafood was cooked delicately, with the taste of the brine still there. The have a nice wine list and we enjoyed a bottle of the Pouilly-Fume’ at a very reasonable price. We went into the bar after dinner for a nightcap and to listen to the very talented woman singing and playing guitar. Unfortunately, the place was jammed with too many children and, presumably, their parents. Suggest they should make the rather small bar for adults only and let those with the kiddies go into the card room just off the lobby. Salt & Meadow is a great special occasion restaurant and definitely not a cheap date, but everyone…I mean everyone…treats guests like royalty. Very friendly and very attentive. Dinner there is an event!
