   We love the seafood at Seafare! The best crab cakes in town! We take visitors and family here and they love it! The service is excellent as well!

   We have been here several times here. Great food and portions, skimpy on bar drinks, new server was not well versed on menu. and service. A little disappointed this time.

   The super sauton was delicious. My whole family really enjoyed their meals. We really enjoyed our evening here. The restaurant is quiet and peaceful. They provide beautiful, classic service that is also friendly, attentive, and unpretentious. The server was very attentive to my multiple allergies, which I of course appreciated.

   Not great. Food had little flavor. Decor was from the 1960s. The wait staff was very nice and we didn’t have to wait long for our food.

    We enjoyed a reunion of longtime friends (8) gathered from three different states with good food and drink, wonderful ambiance, and terrific service. Kudos to our server, the staff, chef, and proprietor for making us feel at home! We highly recommend that you try this restaurant during your visit to Williamsburg.

    As ever, our wedding anniversary dinner was so special! We were celebrating our 65th anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. The Wiener Schnitzel is a particular favorite and the Rice Pilaf with the tiny asparagus spears were perfect. Our intention is to find other occasions to visit Seafare as we are always treated as special customers!

    Everything was very good, especially the cornbread. However, the stuffed flounder needed to be cooked a little more. Other than that this is a very nice place and we will return next time we are in town.

    There wasn't too much more that could have gone wrong. It was a pretty bad experience, especially on Father's day. We will laugh about it for years to come.

    Very pretty inside. They pay attention to detail. The house Merlot was delicious. We ordered stuffed mushrooms which were wonderful. The French onion soup was really really good. I ordered the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately it didn’t come me with the choice of mashed potatoes so I ordered baked. Their bread was great. Our waitress was very experienced and added to a very enjoyable evening.

    We had a party of 7 at a large round table. We had to be pretty loud to talk to persons on the other side, so I am sure we upset some other diners with more intimate seating. The service was very good - almost excellent. The demeanor and professionalism of the staff was excellent. The food, in my opinion was a little mixed in terms of success. The sweetbread served as a starter was dry and cool. The dinner rolls were very good, but just lukewarm. Same for corm muffins served later. Vegetables and potatoes were cooked perfectly. We had sautéed grouper, fried flounder, and stuffed flounder. A teenager had chicken strips and fried shrimp. He said the shrimp was good but the chicken was overcooked. The stuffed flounder was very good. The fried flounder and sautéed grouper were good, but not what you would expect in this setting and price point. Would I recommend? Yes, but no fried or sautéed fish - go to Surfrider for that!

    The atmosphere was good with the Sea and Ship themes. The waitress was good. As for the food, it came out with no and I mean NO seasoning. Tasted like you were in the hospital and eating hospital food. My daughter's plate the steak was filleted and had NO seasoning. The price for the food was way overpriced for the area and was not worth it. We are in this area at least 6 - 8 times a year and would not ever go back to The Seafare of Williamsburg nor can we recommend it.

    The live lobster was frozen and poor quality, overcooked and badly presented. I wanted to trade both sides for a house salad and was denied until I got up from the table and found the manager. Then the salad was served with the lobster. Once served I had to wait several minutes for them to bring the tools to eat it with. The lobster was cut in half down the middle, dry and falling apart. When the bill came, market price was $75.00. Outrageous for a dry terrible frozen lobster. My son had veal with a hollandaise sauce. The sauce had curdled egg in it, yuck! The rolls were so hard that you had to use a knife to cut into them. They seemed stale from days before. They offered a second round of breads after the meal that was muffins - we passed. Service was polite but incompetent. I order a cocktail made with diet soda, it was not. I asked for limited ice. It was full of ice,and the list goes on. It really appeared that they had been having difficulty hiring waitstaff so they settled for foreign speakers with no experience. The decor was fun and reminiscent of the 60s and 70s. Carpets and seating were tired bordering on worn out, but clean. It made us wonder if this was once a top notch fun, fine restaurant in a tourist destination that had suffered and was in a final decline. I sure hope they can revive this place. Hello Gordon Ramsey? Our bill was over $200 dollars and truly it wasn't worth 50.

    We really enjoyed our dinner ar Seafare, on a Friday at 6:30. The restaurant was not crowded and was very quiet. waiter very attentive we both ordered blue point oysters as an app and crab cakes as an entree. The food was excellent , we are Marylanders and are very picky when it comes to crab cakes and these passed the test with flying colors.

    This looks like a old diner that the locals frequent. The seafood was good but nothing extraordinary but the prices were also lower. Not bad--just not memorable.

    It was okay. My husband got the crab cakes which were delicious. I got the steamed seafood, which was disappointing. Ambiance was neat, quiet. Seems to cater to older folks (we are late 30/early 40s), most guests seemed much older. Overall, it was nice, but a touch over priced for the quality. We were there on a Friday night at 730 and there were only 4 other couples.
