More like a 3.5 star restaurant. Service was very fast. We tried their nachos, oysters, mozzarella sticks for appetizers. All... were delicious. Entrees were average. We tried their fried oysters, fried shrimp, fish tacos, and crab cake sandwich. Friedoysters were to breaded and did not feel fresh. Fish tacos were average. For some reason the restaurant really likes to useTexas Pete hot sauce in their dishes. Mac and Cheese on the kids menu was good. Read more
I have been going to Cape Charles with my family every summer for 4 years now, and this was our first time here. Good food,... great service. Particularly enjoyed the clam chowder most! Picked the outdoor dining area and it was a great view. Willdefinitely be part of the Cape Charles getaway tradition from now on! Read more
Some dishes were fantastic, others not so much. Overall, not a great meal for the price. The local oysters with shallot... mignonette were very fresh and good, as was my crab cake sandwich with Old Bay fries. My boyfriend?s fish tacos, on the otherhand, were extremely underwhelming. The tortilla tasted bland and old and there was so much hot sauce added that it completelyoverpowered the taco. Although the fish was well cooked, you couldn?t taste the blackened seasoning because of the hot sauce.Not a balanced taco. Even the tortilla chips were stale with a weird, bitter aftertaste. The best thing on that plate wasdefinitely the guacamole. The service was fast and friendly, but we did leave feeling a bit disappointed. Read more
Good parts first- food was pretty good! Crab dip was VERY good. -beautiful view. -fun atmosphere Bad parts- We had to wait for... 20 minutes to get a table just for them to take us to a table that had been open the entire time. -It took over an hour toreceive food after order was placed. -the portions were ridiculously small. (The side of Cole slaw was in a small ketchupcontainer) - sauce was ordered ?on the side? but was not prepared that way. - waited 15 minutes for box (crab dip)and bill thenhad to flag waitress down to remind her again. -many items were unavailable, including all fresh seafood and guacamole dip. -many menu items do not have prices listed. - VERY expensive!

This restaurant already has tons of quality reviews, but I had to contribute because I liked this place so much that I ate here... three times in one week. Every single menu item we ordered was delicious. Everything. -The crab dip and soft, toasted pita -Theclam fritters with old bay aioli -The wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and balsamic reduction -The fish & chips (the mostperfect, tender cod I?ve ever had) -The bang bang shrimp bowl (amazing flavor, rice cooked perfectly) -The sesame seared tuna(cooked rare) changed my life, comes with local, seasonal veggies -The scallops were soft, tender, buttery heaven -Amazingsides: basil mash and paprika fried Brussels The waiters who served us were friendly, attentive, and well-informed (Chris andAlex were great). The owner, a nice guy and a hard worker, also said hello and asked if we needed anything. I would absolutelyrecommend this place to anyone visiting the area. It was my favorite restaurant in Cape Charles, and I tried at least sixrestaurants while I was there. (It?s better and cheaper than The Oyster Farm.) Read more
