Our server was great and was doing her best to keep up. Food and appetizers came out fairly quickly for how packed it was (35 min wait on a Saturday night), definitely try the crab puppies! I got the Jackson Creek Boil and I was wowed! It was cooked to perfection and the seasoning was just right. The andouille sausage was some of the best I've ever had. Key lime pie was just okay. I got a half dozen oysters too which were lovely. Lovely view of the marina, just be careful where you park! Also be warned, they do sell out of items. They were out of rockfish when I arrived, and while I was eating, they ran out of crab legs. Get there early!

Part of it was that we finally arrived thru the blizzard with the joy that they were open! Only a few intrepid explorers had braved the elements and showed up. The waitress was perfect. Very personable, confident and knowledgeable. She was attentive when needed and left us alone which was great. The atmosphere was romantic and we had a great spot at a window watching the snow just bomb in. Only periodically did we see a snow plow go by or an idiot braving the elements. Wait, did I imply we were lunatics for showing up?? The meal was definitely worth the risk to life and limb. We started off with the calamari. It was so, so, so good. I'm usually indifferent to calamari, but hey - it was Italian night. So with a great bottle of house special wine (it rocked! take the chance) the calamari was buttery and perfectly cooked. On with my seafood kick, I had the seafood pasta dish. Clams, scallops, shrimp. All tasting fantastic with great seasoning and tomatoey acidic bite. The pasta was just perfect with it all. I'm still enjoying the meal writing this. Because we didn't know when our next meal would be. We were imagining being trapped in our truck over night. We went with the extreme calorie loading and ordered both the cannoli and a dark chocolate ice cream. They were great and we were DONE. I really can't wait to return to another Italian night at Adrift.

Nice partitions in the dinning room makes it feel nice and comfortable for privacy as well. Our recent dinner here was on the Valentine's Day. We ordered a bunch of our favorites - shrimp and grits, scallop in cream sauce with veggies. Absolutely delicious. Huge portions so it's almost like two meals for us. Shrimp & grits were unique. I have usually had spicy versions in other restaurants. This was slightly bland for my liking. It was more on the creamier side. I still liked it. For desserts, pineapple fritters with ice cream were absolutely delicious. Cheese cake was alright. Highly recommend this place.

10/10 - A Hidden Gem in Tappahannock…read more My husband and I visited 1710 Tavern for our anniversary, though we didn't mention the occasion to the staff. The evening started off a little rocky, as several of the wines we selected were unavailable. However, any initial disappointment quickly disappeared thanks to the outstanding service, beautiful atmosphere, and attention to detail throughout the restaurant. From the elegant leather-bound drink menu to the stunning restoration of the historic tavern, every detail reflects quality and charm. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for a special evening out. One thing worth noting is that the menu differs between the patio and indoor dining areas. After reviewing the options, we chose to dine inside and made a reservation that morning to ensure we could enjoy the indoor dining experience. The beautifully restored interior was well worth it and added to the overall charm and character of the evening. For dinner, I chose the Snakehead fish, while my husband enjoyed the Prime Rib. Both dishes were excellent. They were unfortunately out of the clam stew, so I opted for the She-Crab Soup instead--and I am so glad I did. It was absolutely amazing and one of the best I've ever had. To finish the evening, we shared the lemon cheesecake, which was simply incredible. The perfect ending to a wonderful meal. What a treasure in this quaint river town. As foodies who have enjoyed dining experiences across the United States and Europe, it takes a lot to truly surprise us, and 1710 Tavern did exactly that. Keep doing what you're doing--your dedication to hospitality, atmosphere, and exceptional food is creating memorable experiences and leaving guests both pleasantly surprised and thoroughly satisfied. We will absolutely be back.

The only area needing improvement is the noise level. When the restaurant is full, table conversation suffers. Curtains or other sound absorbing features could mitigate the issue.
