We had the wings with the Chef Eddie's sauce on the side. We split a pear and strawberry salad which also had pecans and blue cheese. I don't recall the vinaigrette but it worked well with the salad. We added a chicken breast for extra protein. For my meal, I had the Norfolk combo with the veggie of the day (succotash). The combo consists of sautéed scallops, shrimp, and lump crabmeat in a buttery sauce. It was excellent! My husband had the NY strip off the new elevated menu. He got the brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries. I forgot to take a picture of the fries, but they were good and hot! He said the strip was very good also. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I liked how we sat inside, but a had a view of the water. It's a nice restaurant with great service!

Had high hopes but sadly the food fell short!…read more The highlights of the restaurant were the waterfront dining and the friendliness of the waitress and the trainee. My husband and I thought the appetizer sampler sounded good and would give us a good idea of their food. The crab cakes with the wonton was not good and the crab dip hardly had any crab in it. The ham biscuits were okay and really the only dish that was as good was the bang bang shrimp. Also even though our waitress was very friendly she hardly checked on us and we had to wait a long time to get our check. The only thing going for this place is the view.

I asked for extra because it was so good. This is a must try place in Smithfield! Enjoy!

Very good! English Breakfast Tea- including a full pot of tea, cream, sugar. It was delightful! Ambiance: We had our drinks in the bar area and it was nice and comfortable. Went into the main sitting room and they had a fire going. Bathrooms were clean. Service: Hostess who sat us, was nice and sweet. Waitress was very attentive and kind. Bartender checked to see how we enjoyed the cocktail and was very friendly.

Well, it's absolutely absurd that I've driven past this place as many times as I probably have…read more But today I fixed that & I'm really happy. First the location: it's in a strip mall, which it shares with Kroger, a thrift store, and one of the last Roses stores around. The inside was very nice and had a real country atmosphere. Everything appeared well-kept and clean. As we entered we were quickly greeted and taken to our table. Within a few moments, we had our two sweet teas, and our order was taken. Let's say wow - our order was delivered to our table in maybe 7-8 minutes. I was in total shock. The meals. The wifey has the Monte Cristo French Toast meal. I could tell she liked it a lot. As I look at her taking her first full bite and her eyes are blasting open. She said it was absolutely outstanding. As for me, I had Biscuits & Gravy with potatoes and bacon. I will also tell you I was very happy with the taste and the portion. As for service: We had a young lady named Stephanie. I bet she checked on us 6-7 times during our stay and we were not her only table. She was just that attentive. Total for two of us - $33 which include includes a hefty state and local tax. 12.25% - Virginia and localities have gotten out of control. So I will give this place a solid 5-star review and hope that if you're passing through - and need a nice breakfast or lunch, go on in.

Out of clam strips AGAIN. Have visited 3 times within last year. NEVER have clams strips available. We've been here ONLY because someone else chose this place the last two visits. Chilly day, when waitress was asked to turn on the fireplace, she said both of them were broken. Funny, neighbors were there on Friday night. They were working perfectly. I believe she just didn't want to be bothered with lighting them. Coleslaw was BAD, as in spoiled. Gross! When I told her, she did offer to replace, but by that time, we were almost done with meals. Hush puppies were so overdone, almost to point of being burnt. The fried shrimp were really good. The food here is always just "meh". Decor is non-existent, service leaves much to be desired. With so good seafood restaurants to choose from, don't waste your pick here.
