    We happened to be in Tappahannock, VA on a Monday evening celebrating our nephew's birthday and, by…read morechance, ended up at 528 Italian American Restaurant, and we're so glad we did. We had a party of 10, and they were incredibly quick to accommodate us. From the start, the service stood out. Our server worked hard throughout the evening to ensure everything was smooth and that we had an excellent dining experience. The food was fantastic. A few of us ordered the 40 oz. Tomahawk steak with shrimp and two sides, and it was easily one of the best steaks I've had. While $120 is definitely an investment, it was well worth it, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sauce on the side complemented it nicely, the sides were delicious, and the presentation really elevated the entire dish. It's also large enough to easily feed two people. Others at the table enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the surf and turf special (ribeye and shrimp for $40), a fish sandwich, and a ribeye steak and cheese. Everything that came out looked and tasted great. They also brought out complimentary bread with a homemade dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. You can tell they take pride in their food--we got the sense that much of it is made in-house. We also tried a few desserts, and they did not disappoint. The carrot cake, in particular, was one of the best I've had. Inside the restaurant was large and looked like they could host banquet and parties. We even had the opportunity to meet and talk with the owner, Tony, and were impressed by his background and passion for what he does. Overall, we had a great experience, and most importantly, our nephew had a wonderful birthday celebration. We will definitely be stopping back in the next time we're in the area.

    We were vacationing in Kinsale and stopped by today about 3pm per a review we saw. We had our dog…read morewith us and wasn't sure how it would turn out (a Blue Staffie) as I was told they allow dogs on thier patio. Tony stopped out on the patio to chat with us and was very friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding! We ordered the Oyster Rockefeller, Arancini, and both ordered the Rockfish with lemon & thyme, fresh asparagus and roasted potatoes. Hailey, our waitress was wonderful and very accommodating with our dog and brought her a water bowl too. The inside was very nice, but with the dog, it was the patio for us. Will definitely return when in the area again. Wishing much success to this wonderful business.

    Overall, we had a nice experience at To Do Cafe & Seafood. We stopped by this restaurant while…read moredriving to Va Beach because I think it was one of the few places that was: 1. no too far off route, 2. allowed dogs and 3. was open. The restaurant has a pretty low/relaxed vibe. So low/relaxed that I thought the two people at a dining table who let me know that the porch was open for service were customers. Oh! The paper place settings have little tidbits on Virginian trivia and history. For our dining enjoyment, we went with a couple of orders of burgers. I thought my burger was pretty tasty, especially with the restaurant's special BBQ sauce. Also, I thought the portion sizes were pretty generous for the price. The only very minor issue (as of March 2026) was that the restaurant did not have its liquor license, so we could not order a round of beers go accompany our burgers. Other than that small detail, we had no problem with the restaurant. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that service was pretty good, and the prices were pretty reasonable.

    This café has quickly become one of my absolute favorite places. It's the perfect halfway point…read morebetween where I live and where my sister lives, making it our go-to spot to meet in the middle. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is a place meant for slowing down. You can sit, relax, and never feel rushed. Every single person who works here is wonderful, and the owner is an absolute hoot. She's a ball of personality in the best way possible, and it genuinely adds to the charm and warmth of the place. You can feel the care that goes into everything they do, especially the food. So much is made from scratch from the biscuits to the sweet treats and it truly shows in the quality. The layout of the café is also really well thought out. When you first walk in, there's a seating area up front, and then another space in the back that feels like the main gathering area. As the weather warms up, the front area opens up and gives you that airy, open feeling and honestly, there's nothing quite like enjoying seafood by the water. Families are clearly welcomed here, which I really appreciate. The front area has a few toys for kids, like oversized Connect Four, and the bathroom is spotless. It even has a changing table, and right outside the bathroom there are coloring books and crayons neatly set up such a thoughtful touch. I also have to give major credit for the seasonal décor. When they decorate, they truly go all out, and it makes each visit feel special and festive. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable, and the food is consistently excellent. I've loved everything I've tried from something as simple as a peanut butter and jelly to the seafood platter. This place has heart, personality, and amazing food. I can't recommend it enough.
