    Excellent 2 course lunch options. Flounder sandwich was excellent and fresh. Salad and dessert were outstanding. Server Ashley was exemplary and knowledgeable.

    Went for Mother’s Day buffet. Overpriced meal. Since it was late in the afternoon I suppose the breakfast meal and lunch was better and fresher. Would not return. Customer service was good. Cocktails are $18. In these economic times just don’t want to overpay for a mediocre meal.
    Waypoint Seafood & GrillResponded 1 day ago
    Louis, thank you for joining us on Mother’s Day and for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear the buffet didn’t match your expectations this time, especially after a better experience on your previous visit. That’s not the consistency we aim for. We’re reviewing the menu and value perception closely, and your input helps guide that. We'd love a chance to make your next visit a memorable one.

    We dined there for Mother’s Day. I was not expecting a buffet but that was my fault, I should’ve revisited the site after making reservations. Based on the regular menu, the buffet was fairly pedestrian, food was not that warm and service was relatively inattentive.
    Waypoint Seafood & GrillResponded 1 day ago
    Thanks for visiting us, Mike, and for your honest feedback. We’re always striving to improve, and your comments help us do just that. We hope to have another chance to deliver a stronger experience.

    Who was pretty good … service was OK moderate nothing wrong with her. Just she didn’t really come to our table as much so we had to flag a couple times to other wait staff just to add another plate and refill drink.
    Waypoint Seafood & GrillResponded 1 day ago
    Thanks for dining with us, Aaron—glad to hear you had a great time! If there’s anything we could’ve done to earn that fifth star, we’re all ears. Hope to see you again soon!

    Very disappointed in this Mother’s Day buffet. Very bad set up. I don’t think they usually have buffets because this was one of the worse ones. Most of the food was cold and in covered cauldrons. The serving spoons were shared between items so the spoons were covered with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The prime rib was the smallest prime rib I’ve ever seen. Also on a wooden carving board next to an ahi tuna? Only good item was the shrimp cocktail. I will not be going g back and I should have called the manager over. There were no chefs preparing fresh food or eggs. If you wanted an omlet you hsd to ask your server which I found out from another customer.

    Thank you, Bethany! We're so glad the mussels and steak frites were a hit—that means a lot. We also appreciate your note about the pear cobbler. That kind of honest feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

    My spring salmon salad was wonderful - salmon was grilled perfectly - lots of strawberries and blueberries. My husband's wagyu steak was fantastic - medium rare - great flavor. The other couple had crab stuffed flounder and the special - ahi tuna - they thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. My open table request of a table by the window was fulfilled.
    Waypoint Seafood & GrillResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you, Katherine! We're so glad to hear everyone in your group had such a great experience—from the grilled salmon to the wagyu steak and specials. And we're happy we could honor your window request :). We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    I had the shrimp and grits entree. It was the best shrimp and grits I have had in Williamsburg. The service was great, the drinks were just right, and the overall experience was very good.

    Thank you, Susan! We're honored to hear the shrimp and grits stood out—that’s high praise. Delighted to know the service and drinks rounded out your experience. We hope to welcome you back soon!
