    We joined friends for dinner Saturday evening with mixed results. The owners are trying hard but…read moresometimes miss the mark. Much is easily to remedy. Live entertainment was greatly appreciated; the singer was good but way too loud. We had to shout to be heard at our table near the back. When asked to turn down the volume, it appeared to increase. We question why in such a small room any amplification is needed. The food was good but uneven. The puppy drum was the hit of the evening. The pecan pie suffered from lack of pecans. The chef's rendition of French onion soup was puny and missed the mark. The carrot side dish was heavenly. Service was attentive and professional. Dishes were removed promptly. It was unclear why no effort was made to bus the other tables. After guests deparated, we were left sitting in a sea of messy tables. We will give them a few months to get established and try again.

    The new Yankee Point Marina is something to check out. I took my boat in for some repair work and…read morethe yard master worked with me on finding an economic solution. (My original ideas would have cost thousands of dollars, his suggestion put it at less than $800.) I appreciate his willingness to work with me and explain the reasons behind the costs. The new restaurant, The Captains Lounge, is so much better. I recommend both the grilled wings and the steamed shrimp. They also have new pizza oven. And, they were really accomodating, adding NA Beers to their supply for those us that are looking for a healthier alternative. It really is nice having a place to eat on this part of the Northern Neck and you cant beat the view.

Each time we have needed something done, the work is well done, the boat is tidy, secured and clean. We have always been dealt with professionally and fairly. Consummate professionals.

    Unless you have months to wait for your boat and have no regard for your money go someplace else…read more There are many boaters who do drop off their boats for six months and are happy to spend excessively on boat maintenance but if this is not what you want do not go to this business. There is not much competition in the area and I have gone here twice. Both times were for 2 week or less jobs that ended up being over 2 months. Rain, holidays, sick employees are all excuses for delayed work. This is an hourly business and a task that should take one or two hours will appear on the invoice as a ten or twelve, or more, hour tasks. Tasks where a power tool could be used will be done with a hand tool. Think hack saw instead of reciprocating saw and picture two employees operating the hacksaw at one time. It really happened! Your boat will be dirty, inside and out, when you finally get it back. Vendors who come in to do wax and bottom jobs are good and work very quickly and use time saving electric and pneumatic tools. Check everything before leaving. Look for tools and parts in the bilge. Check that everything works correctly like bow thruster pushes in the right direction and not rigged backwards. The invoice has been a jaw dropper both times. About a 30% charge above whatever a generous estimate would be for the work. The hour totals are unbelievable, if true then there is a very serious time management issue or there are integrity issues. I checked progress on the boat every other day based on my first experience and did not see the effort match the hours on the invoice. Little to no communication re the pace or work unless you initiate it. The yard is organized and customers are allowed to work on their boats while here, which is nice, but your boat will be there for a long time. Address every issue, delay, or questionable time management and status of your invoice frequently during the process because once the invoice is written the owner is not open to a discussion and will resort to the old chestnut "if I give you a discount, then do I have to give everyone a discount" as a response to a question about charging 24 hours of work to remove one part. Avoid this business if you plan to boat in the same year you want to get work done.
