No restrooms. We couldn't even hear ourselves talk. The wait staff was amazing, but you could tell they were stressed beyond max. They had to bring our food up a very narrow staircase and one of our trays filled with 5-6 dinners was dropped. My scallops were raw. Together we numbered 18 people. My husband and I paid $300+ just for us. It was hot and miserable. I wrote the very next day expecting a rely from the management or owner. Not once was I contacted. If you're going to expand without thought of your customers experience, that's unbelievable and disrespectful. It'll be a good while before we even consider coming back.

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

When I found out they were having a set menu for Vday I called the week of and we were able to switch our reservations to Friday February 13th. I downloaded the InKiND app as well and they gave me a $50 off discount if you spend minimum $150. The open table app did have a $20 per person fee for reservations and that will be applied to the final bill. Our reservations were at 4pm and we arrived early and the parking area is ample with a parking garage and some street parking. We started walking to the restaurant at about 355pm. This time of the year seems to slower with ot being cold. Once inside we were greeted by the young ladies up front. We were offered a table or booth and we chose a table. We did sit at a table with the view of the water which was nice. Jason our server came over within seconds to pour us water and take our drink orders. We both wanted sweet tea with lemon. Since we knew ahead of time what we were ordering, we gave our appetizers orderes first. We ordered the soup of the day which was the she crab soup. It is highly recommended. We only ordered a cup and not a bowl because we were unsure of how it tasted. The Caesar salad had no anchovie flavor like we are use to and was just medicore. We ordered the meatballs which had lamb and pork in it. They were juicy, tender and just needed a little more seasoning. The Calamari was fried to perfection for me and could've used a pinch of salt. The sweet tea was everything and I would recommend it. For the main entrees, we chose the shrimp and scallop risotto and the beef braised Ragau. There were two scallops and four grilled shrimp and few asparagus with some chopped up bacon. This dish I highly recommend as well. The beef was tender, seasoned and pasta was cooked perfect. Overall, this is a nice and quiet place to dine at anytime. I would recommend and will definitely return again. Jason was on point with his promptness.

"I've had the pleasure of dining here multiple times, and I'm always impressed by the exceptional service and delicious food. As someone with an Alpha-gal allergy, I appreciate the extra care the staff takes to ensure my safety. From the smiling faces that greet me at the door to the festively painted windows, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The specials board is always a highlight, offering creative and mouth-watering options. The seafood is fresh and expertly prepared, and the homemade meatloaf is a standout favorite. But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the way the staff makes you feel like part of the family. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a loved one, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of a home-cooked meal at Grandma's table. The restaurant is always spotless and bustling with familiar faces - friends, classmates, and colleagues who've become like family. If you're looking for a dining experience that feels like coming home, look no further. This place is a true gem!" read more
