We came here for dinner after rehearsing for a wedding. They accommodated a party of 30 for dinner. I ordered the vodka pasta with chicken and it was really good. Our waitress, Regina, is a sweetheart. read more

Coach House Tavern - Vodka pasta with chicken - American Near Me - Cape Charles, Virginia

Golf club tavern & restaurant. Service friendly & food was good. Popular place that gets busy as the season gets going so reservations good idea. read more

The prices are definitely reasonable but the execution of the food was just not great. Every single dish is covered with parsley (I hate parsley and know to tell the waiter when I'm ordering at Italian restaurants but didn't think to here). We ate breakfast and dinner there on the same day. I had biscuits and gravy (I love biscuits and gravy). There were some chopped up pieces of sausage along with crumbled sausage but I just didn't like the sauce. For dinner, I had the Philly Steak Quesadilla and it tasted like chopped roast beef or maybe steakums. It didn't taste fresh. But as a bar, it's cute and has its charm. read more

The reservation phone says it is for Bay Creek members and guests ONLY. The food has improved with the arrival of new chef. Beautiful golf course view, fair prices but excessive NOISE, especially when people come in from golf course. Seems to be a work in progress! read more

I admit I wasn't expecting much. The menu for breakfast is very small but it wasn't crowded and the service was good and the food was excellent. Now - to set expectations properly, this is not a bougie brunch spot with inventive lattes and instagrammable açaí bowls and other cute items. They have a simple, basic menu with breakfast fare. But the food was fresh and tasted good. And prices are unbelievably cheap for such a posh place selling $200 Peter Millar golf shirts across the hall. The ambiance and location is gorgeous. It's in the exclusive golf community of Bay Creek right beside historic Cape Charles and is nestled back past a 24/7 manned gated entry. The building is very pretty and harkens back to huge old wooden and brick barns of the 1890s. Reminds me of something you'd see at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C. This spot has gorgeous windows all around and overlooks the driving range. Vibes are laid-back and restrooms and the Pro shop are located just outside the restaurant. Our server was a very sweet college gal who took excellent care of us and kept the coffee refills coming. The menu isn't large but it has all the basics to take care of business: eggs, omelettes, pancakes, oatmeal, build your own breakfast sandwiches, Benedicts and tons and tons of sides at very fair prices. My husband built his own breakfast sandwich which was ham, bacon, cheese and eggs on a soft warm brioche bun. He added a side of breakfast potatoes and fruit to his order. I chose the more adventurous route and did the oatmeal bar. This is a small bar off to the side of the real bar - a table with a warmed tray of oatmeal and some bowls with almond slivers, brown sugar, dried cranberries and fresh blueberries you can fix and top as you'd like. The oatmeal looked like no one had touched it since they opened, but I went ahead and tried it and it was steel-cut, perfectly cooked, and very fresh. I added a generous portion of blueberries and almonds with a small sprinkling of brown sugar and some honey and it was delicious! I chose to add sides of biscuits, fruit and sausage and all my sides were huge! I got two biscuits and two pieces of sausage for about $2 each as well as a huge bowl of mixed fruit. Very pleasantly surprised by the quality and prices and food here. Would absolutely dine again. Coffee was a bit weak - but that's not a huge issue. Everything else was great! read more

We were staying at the resort and were told we had until 6pm to order carryout. At 5:05 we called to order, only to find out the first 3 items - and two others - were no longer on the menu. We were basing our order on the Bay Creek website. The staffer who took the call was nice enough to text me the new menu; we tried to order 20 minutes later and were told they were no longer taking carryout for the night. The person who took the call seemed annoyed and stressed, but not apologetic. And with a group of 7, getting into a restaurant at this time of night on a Friday would be impossible. Just not a great experience. read more

I was really hopeful about this place given it sits on the beautiful golf course and has a cool decor! Unfortunately it was not a hole in one for us and we left unsatisfied with our meal and experience! The meal did start off fine as we ordered the wedge salad and nachos to split! Both were tasty though they did forget the fried goat cheese medallion we ordered as an add-on! Service was very slow and the first chance we had to tell them about forgetting this was long after our entrees had arrived! As for entrees, "A" ordered the flounder tacos and liked them and I ordered the buffalo shrimp wrap which was the entree we were most disappointed in! I guess because I asked for no hot sauce on the shrimp, that meant that the shrimp had no sauce on it at all which was unexpected! The shrimp tasted very fishy and unlike any shrimp I've ever had-seems like it must have been frozen and undercooked! My fries were also served undercooked and were not edible though "A's" were just fine! I even had him taste test everything to be sure I wasn't just being picky and he found everything just as bad! For the record, this is the first I've ever not been able to eat a meal served at a restaurant so I think that shows how much I really dislike not being able to at least eat some of a meal served! Thankfully, they took the entree off the bill and our server was very apologetic about it! Overall, service was extremely limited, the food was underwhelming and the experience was mediocre at best! I am hoping we were just there at a bad time and that this isn't their normal experience-giving them the benefit of the doubt! read more

Talk about your hidden gems. This is in every sense of the words hidden for non locals. It is listed on the yelp system, but most reading even the reviews would not know the best thing about this find is it's open to the public, that's right! This is a swanky gated golf course neighborhood and you can gain access to the club restaurant. The Coach House Tavern is the club restaurant for Bay Creek Golf on the Eastern Shore which is home to not one, but two signature 18 hole courses. Both Palmer & Nicklaus each came in on the ground level to design the first ever joint venture in the USA. It is magnificent and nothing was spared at making these premier courses. However, there was something that had to be spared for the club. The huge fancy club house with fine dining would prove too costly in a downturn economy around 2005. So the Coach House was elevated to a combination of both casual and fine dining. Non members can access the restaurant during their hours. The location is not far outside of downtown Cape Charles and close to the old Marina. GPS works very efficiently and will take you to the gate. Once at the gate you will need to stop and let them know you are a visitor and plan on dining at the Coach House Tavern. A hang tag will be provided for limited time to be in the club. The drive up to the club is not difficult and there is great signage that you direct you to around a mile to your left turn into a parking lot and the clubhouse. I was blown away when arriving just before sunset at how beautiful the club and grounds were. Everything was clean appeared almost brand new. There was plenty of parking and many of the spaces oddly enough for me were taken by high end fancy golf carts. Custom golf carts are a trademark in Cape Charles, they are every where. It was surreal to be here and not members, it seemed that special. The exterior has a cottage look and is adorable with warm beige wood plank and brick. The sidewalks were spotless and we entered at the sign for the restaurant. The lobby was again a shocker and had beautiful slate flooring with the cottage theme continuing. Lots of cool vintage pics of Arnie and Jack. The restrooms are up front. I utilized them and was floored by how clean and cool they were. The decor continues with a cottage feel and is winning! My wife even commented when exiting how much she liked it and she usually never says anything about a restroom facilities. The check-in was just through the door and a hostess was on duty. The place was probably over half full, but they did say reservations are recommended. It appears that they did not have enough staff and was attempting to limit access to make sure service was up to par. After a little discussion they agreed to seat us on the patio which was what we were hoping for. There are around six table right off the greens and it was an incredible view. Our server took longer that what I hoped for to get drinks started, but then never missed a beat. The menu was looked over and it was shockingly reasonable for they type of atmosphere. Average meal price was probably around $15 which I'm including there sandwich side that is available for dinner as well. I got the mango fish tacos with rock fish, my wife the halibut and my daughter and kids chicken fingers. It did not take long for an older couple who were members of the club to strike up a conversation with us and provide a little background that I have used for this review. Based on their experience every Friday night the food is consistently good and the service is friendly and welcoming to members and non members alike. They said the Sunday brunch is legendary with lots of offerings and a great deal too! Our meals came out at a respectable 20-25 min and was correct. My wife enjoyed her meal the most, the Halibut was huge and sides good. I also enjoyed by tacos, but thought the rock fish was a little bland. But I did enjoy and thought the mango gave a nice balance of flavor. The side of onion rings were yum! My daughter enjoyed her meal too! A check-in of how everything was by our waitress was done, but could have been done earlier in my opinion. Overall we really enjoyed her, she smiled and was friendly the entire service. Our bill was delivered in a timely fashion when it was obvious we were done. A to go box was given for our daughter's meal. The total was shocking awesome for three meals. Keep in mind no drinks, appetizers, or desert...but it was $45 with tip. I call that a bargain for the food quality and high end surroundings. I did not touch on the indoor dining room and bar since we did not eat inside. It had a casual table and chair tavern feel with several taps on hand. It was cozy and the crowd was enjoying themselves. This visit was just what we were hoping for. It offered great food, quiet atmosphere and beautiful grounds. To boot if also offered wonderful company that was not expected. I will plan on making a trip back read more

We have been going to this restaurant for 3 years. Solid breakfast, and service is good. Nothing spectacular, but not bad either.

I'm not sure I've ever been to a restaurant at a golf course/club (been to a few) that makes it so difficult to get basic food and drink service in anything that resembles an acceptable amount of time. The wait staff is always disorganized and generally clueless. Simple requests at other restaurants become huge challenges at this restaurant. You'll wait at least 15 minutes to pay your check on top of the long wait. A few burgers and three orders of chicken fingers for lunch took nearly two hours. Thank goodness the older members have nowhere to go or be - they've become accustomed to a lackluster experience. If you need something before your round of golf, best to build in another 15 mins of wait time for your Arnold Palmer and hot dog. read more

Looking for a decent place to eat in CC I figured we couldn't go wrong eating here in this beautiful country club. Wow was I wrong. One of us had a sandwich which was just ok The two of us with entrees were asked if we needed a box for our uneaten meals. Service was just fine. Menu was missing key items, crab dip was bland, fish tacos were awful, sweet potato fries were loaded with cinnamon which I've never heard of and should have been warned of. Lack luster dining room in what otherwise was a lovely building. It was clear it wasn't just an off night. Especially being one of only 2 tables in a large empty room. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Great view of the golf course. Great selection of beers. We had gone there with expectation of eating lunch, but ended up only ordering a drink, as the lunch menu consisted of some sandwich options and maybe a few fried fish baskets. According to the waitress, plans are to expand eventually, and they do have some dinner specials on Mon/Tues and Fri/Sat, but we happened to be there on a Wednesday, our loss. The view of the golf courses and the atmosphere in the tavern makes it a go to place if you're around Cape Charles. read more

Group of 7 with a reservation. No problems with a group of This size. My daughter enjoyed the chicken salad, which was quite large. Other selection by our group: meatloaf, Reuben, crab cake sandwich, chicken fingers. The fish tacos wee available with shrimp, bay scallops, or the fish of the day ( there were 3 selections)--2 on flour tacos with a pineapple salsa. Doused with Tabasco, they were pretty good; included a side, and I chose the bleu cheese wedge for an additional $1. Service was acceptable, and all staff were friendly. Although our waitress was wearing what appeared to be a yoga outfit. My kids and niece really liked the crab dip, but it was nothing special to me; served with toasted pita (and an extra helping of pita upon request). We have had bad experiences in Cape Charles with parties larger than 4, and we will return to the Coach House again when we have the 3 families together again. read more

The owner was very racist. He could not handle the argument professionally and instead Told me to go back to my country. Terrible customer service. read more

Unacceptable behaviour from the owner, not only did they mess up in their service but they failed to recognize so, they instead got upset and said very disheartening words. Imagine telling people to go back to their country in our current day and time, embarrassing, ignorant and shameful behaviour read more

Restaurant is part of the Golf Clubhouse and just let the gate guard know you are going for a meal and/or golf. Very well kept interior with horseshoe shaped bar. The staff is prompt and friendly. Service times are 15-20 minutes. I had Black Tipped Shark blackened in tacos with mango pineapple salsa. Wow... was my experience. So Good. It is always a pleasure going here for a meal. Consistently great. A must try... in the Bay Creek Golf Club and Neighborhood... a bit away from Kings Creek Marina and Main Street. I don't beleive they are open for dinner. However, I know they are available for event parties. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere on a golf course. Nice variety on menu. All of our food was good. Wait service was prompt and attentive.

Absolutely the best breakfast and brunch place and extremely professional serving staff !! Food is awesome

The last couple of times I've been here I've gotten the feeling they just can't be bothered serving one person. This time I was presented with every excuse by the hostess to just move on ... "We're pretty crowded, I can't even seat you at the bar, I've got a couple waiting, the kitchen is backed up ... " instead of, "I'd love to seat you but we have a xx wait." But I could see some were nearing the end of their meal. Maybe I would have waited but since I arrived just before 8pm, I think she was more concerned about their 9pm closing time then feeding me. No worries, I went to the Oyster Farm, was welcomed, and had a delightful meal. I've eaten here before and liked their dinners. Guess I'll have to give 1 star to post this. read more

Service was excellent,waitress was on top of it. Never had to wait for service. The crab dip as a appetizer was very good. She crab soup was very bland with no taste. The rest of our meals were disappointing for the cost. Newer menu prices have skyrocketed. Very disappointing read more

We had a large party of seven people which through the kitchen for a loop. But the food was excellent. Good appetizers...,Peel and eat shrimp were well spiced. The She crab soup was rich but out of this world. We had an an unusual appetizer of Mediterranean nachos that we all shared and really enjoyed. The dinner specials were the best bet. Seared scallops with couscous and asparagus, A Reuben sandwich.....Seared tuna with Thai noodles and seaweed salad. Finally someone had steamed clams and fried goat cheese salad. It was all excellent! read more

We had dinner here on Friday night and breakfast on Saturday morning. The food was petty good and so was the service. The only issue was the knats that were flying all over the place. Nothing like complimentary protein, but it got old fast. They were not as bad at breakfast. read more

This is definitely one of your best options in and around Cape Charles or even the entire lower Delmarva peninsula. The setting is very nice-clean nicely appointed room. We went after dark so I can't comment on the views and since neither myself nor my wife drink we cannot judge the alcohol but there were many people that appeared to be enjoying themselves at the bar. I had stuffed pork tenderloin medallions served with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley while my wife had the rib-eye steak, also with mashed potatoes and the vegetable medley. The steak was cooked as my wife requested and was very tasty and the tenderloin medallions were in a sauce that was very good. I am the first to admit that I am not a vegetable person but even I found the vegetables to be very good. We went at about 7 pm on a Friday night in mid-October and had to wait about 20 minutes but from what we overheard the restaurant may have been unusually busy that night. Of course, mid-October is off-season. We vacation on the Eastern Shore on a regular basis and definitely will be back to the Coach House Tavern. read more

Curbside pickup is fast, as well as friendly. Food is always good. Really love their wings, soups and salads. Salmon and steak are also very delicious! read more

RIP OFF!!! 4 small, skimpy ounces of wine for $10.00 each glass. Very cheap! Ordered a bowl of gumbo which came cup sized- a very small bowl of broth with a few small shrimp floating in it. 2-3 pieces of okra, no rice. We had to fill up on crackers. Small, small salad again served in a deceiving small bowl. $65.00 bill and left hungry. Lady next to us got a burger with about 6 French fries. Waitress said they weigh them. This place is NOT WORTH IT. Go elsewhere in Cape Charles. read more

The relaxed alternative for dining options at Bay Creek. Located inside the clubhouse, the Tavern overlooks the course and practice range. Great looking bar with a nice relaxed feel. Very open with a rustic setting in a timber-framed building. Wonderful selection of draft beers on tap with a great menu full of seafood options. Generally I would gravitate towards the fish tacos but I just had them so I had the broiled sea scallops. I'm not a fan of seafood that is "broiled" in butter.... kinda grosses me out. They should always call that boiled in butter... but I asked and they said it wasn't. They came fresh and perfectly cooked and were served in a basket with fries, coleslaw, hushpuppies and pickle. I had to order extra hushpuppies. If you head to the resort or utilize the course give it a try... it won't disappoint. Grubs ~ read more

Don't let the "golf clubhouse" stereotype keep you from a good meal! There is a bar, TVs, and golfers, but the food is really good. Our innkeepers at Bay Haven Inn recommended Coach House as a great place to get a steak, and they were right! I had a terrific 16 oz ribeye there. It was perfectly cooked, and when I upgraded to blue cheese crumbles, the steak was completely covered with a nice thick layer of them. I opted for onion rings vice baked potato and they were very good, thinly beer-battered without a lot of extra breading. The mixed vegetables were tasty as well. It's a great place to go, on a beautifu read more

Nice little place to eat, views over the golf course. I have had a decent omelet and a really good bay scallop tortellini dish here. The service is okay - they seem to get overwhelmed fairly easily. read more

The best part of this visit was the dessert. Warm Brownie sundae with Vanilla Brown Dog Ice Cream! I wish we had started with dessert. It was AWESOME!

The food and service was phenomenal. My girlfriend and I rode the bike up to Cape Charles from Norfolk just to get away with not many plans in mind.

Service was amazing!! Blood Mary's were made to our liking of spice! Surf and turf was the best ever! The 16oz steak was mouth watering and scallops were cooked to perfection!!

I ate at the Coach House three times this weekend and was quite satisfied by the food and service. The beer selection was also good, with several new draft choices. There was a lot of action because it was a busy weekend, but all the plates going by looked great. The waitstaff is the best! read more

Coach house has a nice atmosphere and a friendly staff. There are definitely some good sandwiches on the menu, but some are pretty lackluster like the turkey reuben. Every time we have been to coach house after they started serving "home-style" fries, they have been unable to cook them properly. We get straight up raw potatoes that are super greasy (maybe their oil isn't hot enough?). The first time we didn't mention it, the second time we did and the waiter told us they were supposed to be that way. The third time we asked the waitress about it before ordering the fries and she assured us they were not supposed to be in anyway raw and she would make sure they werent. Unfortunately they still were. Besides not getting the toppings I had ordered for my burger everything else tasted good. Food service is fairly slow, but we weren't in a rush. On top of that, when we got the bill they had overcharged for our appetizer, which aparently has happened for multiple menu items--so double check your receipt. If you are reading this between March and november, and aren't golfing, go to the shanty instead! read more

The food is amazing the atmosphere is wonderful, the food gets to the table fast and its good af.

Great service, Great view and nice atmosphere - decent breakfast. We ate here for breakfast while on a trip and wanted to check out Bay Creek. Food was decent but nothing extraordinary. The atmosphere made it worth coming back. Servers cared and went the extra mile. read more

I took my guests to eat at the Coach House on 7/31. Having eaten there in the past,I thought we would have a good meal. I was so disappointed! Three of our group of six had the seafood pesto. The fish was overcooked and the sauce was sun dried tomatoes...no basil. The service was terrible. It took 25 minutes just to get the appetizers, The rest of the meal was just as bad. I will not take guests there anymore. read more
