    Although the presentation of the Mother's Day meals looked good, the taste was not at all consistent. We started with stuffed oysters which were good, but then my sea bass was tepid and my hubby's halibut was also just barely edible due to the coldness of them. The server showed up after I took my first bite so I did respond that they needed to be warned up. She took them away and said the manager would speak with us. He apologized for this. We got them back, the original ones albeit they were warmed up, however my sea bass was not Chilean sea bass so it wasn't my favorite. A thinner fish so not at all tasty. Hubby said his halibut was just okay and I agreed with him. The entrees were followed by a supposed "dome of chocolate " but it was a small round cake that also lacked flavor. Hubby's cheesecake was served in a pre made tarte shell and the cheesecake tasted weird. A fancy environment without the fancy food. Extremely overpriced for what we were served. We don't mind paying high prices but the food didn't match the prices.

    Scallop and risotto. Just amazing!!! Cooked to perfection!

    Ambience - perfect for dates! Elegant set up. Food - outstanding! Will DEFINITELY like to try other things on the menu. The scallop and risotto was simply amazing! Service - military discount was a bonus!!

    such a lovely surprise in the area. I was looking for some place to eat and stumble upon this restaurant. and didnt expect the food are so good. the space is big and we were seated in the back where is a bit quiet and private. the restaurant is not busy at the time, service was fast . the duck wing is a must have, and the she crab soup is delicious as well. i had the risotto with scallops. the scallops are big and perfectly seared. risotto is creamy.

    Let me start with the service was excellent. The waitress was wonder and very attentive. The place is very comfortable with an upscale feel. The mixed drinks were fine. The food was a bit of a disappointment though. The oysters on the half shell were badly opened and full of shell bits. The crab soup was very thick and not a lot of flavor. The steak was burnt on the outside. None of it was inedible but for the price we expected better quality control and preparation. Too many other good place close by for me to try again.

    I'm not sure about you but after a long day of shopping hunger kicks in. I didn't have a reservation so I was seated at the bar. Since it was still happy hour I ordered the fish and chips. It arrived hot and ready to be in my belly. The portion size was larger than I expected and it was so delicious. I choose a cobbler( apple) with vanilla ice cream. I loved the presentation of mini cast iron pan. There is plenty of parking and the service was excellent! Cameron was a great bar tender explaining the drinks he was making and providing history of restaurant. It can be a great date night or family dinner outing. Truly upscale with clothe tablecloth and weighted utensils.

    Waypoint was an amazing experience from start to finish. It was easy to get same day reservations, our overall service was good, and what the service lacked the food more than made up for. First the service, our server was often times no where to be found but we also observed that it didn't seem as if she had an assigned section that was close to ours. ‍ However the food was amazing from start to finish. We loved both our wines. Our appetizer of crawfish crab cake was a special and was so good we forgot to take a picture! I had the salmon, my partner had the swordfish special and we enjoyed the bread pudding for dessert. Every bite of food was amazing! The portions were perfect! Not too much to where if you didn't finish you felt wasteful but definitely enough to get you full! My partner and I are mid 40's and were hands down the youngest people there by 15+ years. This was amazing because we were truly able to enjoy a midweek dinner together without chaos around us. The server also read my request on the reservation for a more quiet space and sat us appropriately. The chairs were extremely comfortable and the overall vibe is casual elegance. We can't wait to go back!

    The ambiance was great at the entry point. Greeted by a most gracious hostess. The food was excellent and you knew it was prepared fresh. Thendessert was everything I expected.

    Hidden Gem That Deserves a Loud Shout-Out Waypoint Seafood & Grill completely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and just upscale enough for a special night out without being stuffy. The service was top-notch--our server, Matt, was knowledgeable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely kind. The Food - Fresh ingredients, beautiful plating, and bold, balanced flavors. My cosmo cocktail was refreshing, and strong in all the right ways. Waypoint hits that rare sweet spot of local charm, elevated cuisine, and genuine hospitality. If you're anywhere near Williamsburg, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're celebrating something or just want an amazing meal, you'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

    Overall, this restaurant is great. They have a variety of food options with good portion sizes. The seafood is very fresh as well. I got the crab cakes, scallops, and salmon. The crab cakes were good, but there wasn't anything special about them. The scallops were excellent and had flavorful sides that accompanied the dish. The salmon was not good. The topping on the salmon was sweet and gel-like. The snicker cheesecake was not traditional cheesecake. The cheesecake filling was centered in the middle of a hard bowl-like crust. However, the bread pudding was delicious! The service was great. The waitress was pretty attentive and very friendly. The restaurant had white table cloths but it wasn't too fancy. The restaurant is very spacious, the lighting is perfect, and it isn't loud. It doesn't seem to get too crowded, but I would make a reservation just in case.

They also came with fries or onion rings, funnel cake fries, and a drink of your choice. Two of the guys had the root beer and said it was pretty good. Now as for the dogs, the two guys that had the coneys were happy with them, although one was hoping for a little more spice from the chili, but it was by no means bad. The burnt ends dog was said to be pretty freaking good. As for the American dog, we'll that was a different story. It wasn't a bad dog, but it tasted like it had been boil cooked and not cooked on the griddle. Additionally, it wasn't really that warm. I guess warm is a good description for it. It would have been better if it was hot and you could see some cooking marks on it. Alas, it was and had neither. But again, it wasn't a bad dog, but it could have been much better. The onion rings were pretty tasty though, as were the funnel cake fries and crinkle cut fries. This night was Wednesday, so it was trivia night. At 6:30. At about 6:00 people really started to come in, and by 6:30, the place was packed. Guess trivia night is a big hit... The people working there were super friendly and you fealt as if they were happy to be there. I would have given it 5 stars, but tbe warm dog just brought my experience down a bit. But don't let that stop you from going there, because you'll probably have a good time with good food and good people.
