Tucked-away inn, big-night-out food. We started at the Mermaid Bar with a plate of local oysters…read more(briny, ice-cold, gone in about four minutes) and a round of bubbles that made everything feel fancier than it needed to be. Then came the scallops, seared to that perfect crusty-on-the-outside, butter-soft-inside finish, sitting in risotto with bacon and crisp green apple for a sweet-tart snap. Genuinely one of the best scallop dishes I've had on-island. The cocktail program deserves a shoutout too, mine came dark, moody, and dressed with a little flower garnish from Bridget's garden that made it look like it belonged in a much more expensive bar tab. The tasting menu ($115, four courses, MV-sourced ingredients) is a commitment but if you want a proper date-night splurge, this is the move. Only knock: it's a destination, not a walk-by, so plan the drive and maybe a reservation. Would go back just for the scallops and oysters alone. I am lucky enough to be able to ride my bike here!!

Without hesitation I would recommend Lambert's Cove Inn for your special event!

Where to begin?! Is…read morethere a way to give a company ten stars? I contacted several caterers for a small gathering, but one thing let me know this catering company was THE ONE: When I called to get a quote, the owner - on his own accord - physically visited the site to get the lay of the land before I even signed the contract. He stayed in contact with me throughout the ENTIRE process and handled every curve ball with a smile. To boot, the services were reasonably priced. We began with the goal of having a clam bake. Then, I considered the fact some people might be allergic to shell fish. Little Rock allowed me to have a hybrid menu to appease all my guests. They came from far and wide, from Memphis to India to China to Chicago and New York. I knew I had a tough crowd that has eaten at some of the best restaurants across the globe. Our experience with Little Rock was absolutely PERFECT, from my first phone call to the last morsel I put in my mouth. The first course was clam chowder. Really?! The clam chowder was out of this wooooorld!!! Every single guest I spoke with commented on its deliciousness. My guests said the clam bake was also absolutely perfectly delicious and that they were stuffed after the meal because the plate was so full of food. We also got a beef tenderloin option, which melted in your mouth. The BBQ chicken option was stupendous. Peter and his wife brought a family feel to my reception, but their delivery was beyond professional. When I called Peter after the event, he said he enjoyed our work together, met wonderful people throughout the day and that he wished the hubby and me a lifetime of bliss. What an incredibly personal touch. I am dripping with accolades for this amazing company that made my day beyond special. I couldn't have pulled this off without Little Rock. Glowing review!!!!!! Take a bow, Little Rock. Take a bow.

I began by looking for a catering service that was generally organic, farm to table concepts ~ which is what The Kitchen Porch is all about ! Over several weeks of planning done through emails and phone calls I was pleased to work out details for our event with wonderful suggestions from Jan as the owner, directly. The hardest part became making a selection from all the delectable options available. I found it easy to work with them to accommodate our needs based on budget and what fit the occasion. She was able to modify the menu in any way that would be needed such as to balance elderly guests, mixed with younger guests, vegetarians as well as meat eaters, as well as deliveries, set-up and all the details involved along the way. When the day of the event arrived, we found everything went seamlessly, the staff had everything set up in a beautiful presentation, with the food delivered throughout the reception in a well balanced manner, every time a new tray was presented there was a new delightful tasty nibble offered, every bit as yummy as the last. The balance of food was perfect, we did not run out of anything, and everyone found something they liked. We were not left with a "heavy" food "overload" feeling, but with light fresh foods, and refreshing drinks which included cucumber mint flavored water and a light fruit punch. The staff was friendly, receptive, and professional. Thank you so much to everyone at "The Kitchen Porch", I look forward to working with you again in the future.

If you…read moreare disabled or have mobility issues, you also won't be welcome or have an easy time with basic tasks like the restroom. We won't be returning until the attitude and staff are changed. No meal is worth a bad cultural experience. My wife and I tried to eat here. My wife and I had disembarked the ferry in OB and heard about the Wave was new so we were excited and called. The woman on the phone said, yes we have availability come on over - we said we were in our way and would be there in 15 minutes. We arrive in VH 15 minutes later. My very pregnant wife waddles over to the hostess and it seems it's a different lady that tells her "do you have a reservation?!" With an attitude. We say "we just spoke with someone." The woman we spoke to then appears and says "yes" I told them it was ok. Then the other woman scolds her and says, well I just "reallocated" all the tables. Not possible anymore. So then they both point to the upstairs deck area across the way and say it's the bar area, go sit up there. My pregnant wife wasn't thrilled with all the distance and steps but said "ok" reluctantly but she had to use the restroom first. For any disabled person - my pregnant wife also has permanent mobility issues - the restroom is down a step and outside in another section. We finally get upstairs and the guys up there said they had reservations starting soon so we had to check with the hostess. Maybe we got profiled in my T-shirt and shorts, but I can guarantee we would have tipped better than the old stodgy people walking in. We probably would have just stayed the but attitude of the staff was just a massive turn off. If an establishment can't put out a welcoming culture, what else aren't they paying attention to with the meal. Off to Beach Road or to try out The Jetty on our Tuesday evening arrival.

They arrived at exactly the right time, set everything up very efficiently, and we proceeded to have an absolutely wonderful time. Two notes: the food was super delicious AND was presented so beautifully as well. There were plenty of leftovers that we feasted on for at least the next day, and then some!! They even baked a special cake which even for a non-dessert person like myself, was irresistible!! His specialty is ribs, and they were some of the best I've had, but for non-meat eaters, there were plenty of delicious veggie dishes as well, both cold and warm. Hire this crew; you won't regret it.
