    Beautiful, serene property on the waterfront, Riverwalk offers fine dining at good prices…read more The sea bass was flavorful but did not pair well with the onions and capers. The fried oysters were a little salty. The crab cake had lump crab meat but lacked flavor. The she crab soup was good. Service was a little slow but Erin was hospitable.

Situated right under the York River bridge, not far from the Yorktown museum, is the cutest village. I'm sorry, they can't claim it as part of the original Yorktown but it is cute. There is a lovely river walk...hence the name of the restaurant. They have some of the BEST views in the area being right there. We had reservations however it being the busiest day for restaurants, we had to chill our heels for a few moments before being taken back. I was more than ok with this as we ended up getting a window seat (see above for reference). Thank heavens they put the name of the server in the receipt cuz y'all know my Swiss cheese brain. Cara was the wonderful server who took care of us. She was always there ready for me to get my mum good & spoiled. Super friendly and very helpful. The buffet, it was impressive for a buffet and while not a big buffet, it was specialized. First up were 3 different kinds of salads, then a fruit platter, and bagels & cream cheese. They had a raw bar with shrimp & oysters next, then breakfast stuff (eggs, potatoes bacon etc) mac & cheese, garlic mashed taters & then a carving station with turkey, ham & lamb. Finally a small but respectful dessert table. If you couldn't find something to fill you, you weren't looking. The single sour note of the buffet was the salmon and Mac & cheese. I'll know better next time. Overall the River Walk has come back with perfect timing and style. I highly recommend a visit. Parking is a pain but patience will help

My only complaints which are very minimal -- #1: there was fresh squeezed OJ listed on the menu but is no longer served and I'm a sucker for fresh squeezed so it immediately grabbed my attention; and #2: I wish I'd known I could do half grits and potatoes - I should've asked, but I overheard a local/regular customer ask for that after I'd already gotten my plate of food in front of me. But 100% satisfied with the grits, so no complaints with what I ordered and ate, just would've liked to try the potatoes, too!

No, this is not your health food eatery. This is down home old fashioned good tasty delicious scrumptious no joke mama grandma cooking fill you up and give you the best knock out, sleepy nap food coma food! No hesitation here, come visit you won't regret it. Get the scrambles, the pancake is amazing. Complete with buttery crunchy edges, wow. Potatoes are perfectly seasoned. Don't check your blood sugar afterwards. Just enjoy it! I'm giving 185 five stars again, proudly! Thank you for keeping it fresh.

I…read moreoften see the parking lot full and there is line outside the door or others standing around. I can understand why, the menu is decent and the food and service is great. This is the brunch place to be. When you walk in , it is pretty open. There is tables throughout and it is fairly clean. We were seated quickly. Our waitress was fantastic at my recent visit. I was there with my friend and a teen who is special needs. Our waitress was very engaging with them and took her time with them. I was so happy about that. Our food was amazing. My husband was with me once and he had the scotch eggs and said they were some of the best he has had. My food has always come out piping hot. I enjoy my blueberry pancakes. I like that you can get one plain and one blueberry. The blueberries on my pancake were spaced out well. There is a nice large lot to park in. There are various other businesses around food craft that share that lot.

By the temperature I could tell the pancake and home fries had been sitting awhile. Eventually the waitress came to check on me and I told her about the temperature of the food. I had already ate some of the pancake but she brought me a fresh set of home fries.

I wanted to go back for my birthday so I went last week, it was during the week so it was not too busy. I am not sure if they were short staffed but I had the worst experience! We sat outside, we had to keep swatting away flies. Our server was the worst, she barely let me finish my sentence before she walked away. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay. Our food was not great either. This time I got the crab cakes, no sauce came with it and my mashed potatoes were dry. The seasonal vegetable was asparagus and it was not cooked properly, it was tough and fibrous. My husband got a steak, it has no flavor and his asparagus was the same as mine. I couldn't want to just leave. What a disappointment.

The staff is consistently gracious and accommodating, which really sets them apart from other restaurants that seem to dread large parties. Even on a busy Friday night, we were seated in under thirty minutes. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and handled multiple tables with ease. He stayed on top of our orders and refills, and he took allergies seriously, checking with the kitchen to make sure certain dishes were safe. That level of care is always appreciated. As always, the food was excellent. I usually go for the crabcakes, but this time I tried the special, a crowned salmon, and it was so tasty. They truly do seafood well here, and the portions are always hearty. Every experience here is consistently great. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the manager even stopped by our table to check in, which was a nice touch. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Williamsburg.
