As for comparison, this ranked a bit below what we have tried in the area, but the staff were friendly and the food solid. I... would say the caliber is a bit lower than expected, but still a solid choice. Read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the soft shell crab sandwich. It was excellent. My server was just right, and the lemon crunch ice cream was... something special. I would happily go here again. Read more

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful (not only did they have a proper high chair, they helped us sort out which table would... best shade our bebe) and the food was exceptional. We started off with the fresh local Rappahannock oysters and they were justamazing. Big, juicy, and buttery. House Champagne Vinegar Mignonette was tasty as well. Wife- Fresh Catch Tacos, blackened,"perfection" ???? Me- Roasted Cuban Pork with black beans and rice, perfectly faithful incarnation of the Caribbean staple,???? Toddler- 'Viet-Cajun' Udon with veggies & grilled shrimp in a house soy, just delicious! She loved it as well. We woulddefinitely come back here in a heartbeat should we ever find ourselves once again spending time in the Northern Neck of VA. Read more

Local buzz and anticipation were in high gear awaiting the opening of Dredge, Irvington. Irvington you may know, is becoming... quite the place for Foodies with a flurry of recent eateries that now include well known and respected Chef/Owner Bryan Byrd'slatest restaurant, Dredge. I recently had the honor to meet Bryan and Phyllis at Dredge while taking a look around and chattingabout his extensive local background in the seafood business. From a family of waterman, to his upbringing right here in theNorthern Neck since age 7, then working at the local country club, a jaunt to Key West, plus his interest in Cuban and Caribbeanfoods ...those influences are revealed in his flavorful food. The portions are well sized, and the plates set attractively withgarnishes. My Jambalaya was nicely filled with the mix of spicy flavors sure to make you feel you were back in Louisiana. Thefish tacos, fried oysters or soups, and Rockfish dishes, were all delicious and customer favorites. It's the kind of place wheretrying new things or having old favorites is surely in order. I found the clientele as interesting a mix as some of the foodofferings..young or mature, you'll find them there! There's an active vibe that the summer season will surely only enhance. Sofor super fresh farm or boat to table, Dredge is terrific choice. If you havent been there, Go! Update.. The mojitos were a bighit at this very popular bar. I ordered one...soon after there were 8 other people buying them around me! Try one..perfectwith seafood! Read more

Pretty good food, very nice service, and a fun menu. The fried oysters have a hush puppies batter on them. I think they could... add some of the cabbage from the tacos to the pork egg rolls. Drinks were fun and varied. Read more
Extremely disappointed. The roasted pork dish was served cold, rice and beans were bland, presentation poor. The Mahi Mahi... dish was also bland, portion size small and rice and beans were bland, pricey for bad quality food. Read more
