Seafood Restaurants near Colonial Beach

“Delicious food! I was totally surprised as I knew nothing about El Toro. All fresh and top notch ingredients. The flan was great. The service was outstanding and Francisco, my server, was extremely helpful.“

“Mann ,,, where to start.. from the wait staff all the way to the owner...the place is worth the drive..everyone jokes and has a great time with the customer s and goes out the way to make you feel wanted and appreciated..he'll they make you feel like your family should..Just a real place !!.“

“Ate here for the first time. If you're traveling through, or staying for the summer season, DEFINITELY hit this place up.If you're lucky, you'll get Melissa as a server. She's incredibly sweet and accommodating.As of writing this, the seafood buffet is $45 per person, and the salad buffet is $19.You can also get everything a la carte, if you'd rather.They have plenty of fried options, but if you want oysters (they don't serve them raw), you'll have to settle for fried or in a soup.Everything we had was good and fresh, so you can't go wrong!They have great pricing for kids too. Expect to pay between $20-$50 per adult, more if you're drinking.I have a 4 star on the atmosphere because the place could use a face lift, but otherwise can't complain :-)“

“Went right before the season started in late April.We called reservations in advance. The woman asked if we wanted indoor or patio seating: we chose the patio seating. She didn't take our names or anything but said ok, we've got you covered!Fast forward to our reservation time (which actually arrived about 5 minutes later than it, due to finding parking). They were pretty busy when we got there. However, not only did they not have a patio table reserved for us, they clearly didn't have any methodology for reserves in place.So we waited for them to wipe down a table and set it for us, where we were promptly ignored for about another ~15 minutes (not exaggerating).We were about ready to stand up and leave when our waitress had arrived. She apologized profusely and didn't notice we had been seated.So all of that to say, their host station and organization sucked.How about the food, though?I personally ordered the crab stuffed rockfish, and I got the salad and cream of crab soup with it.My wife ordered the steak, and the others ordered similarly.Can't complain! Actually, the cream of crab soup was incredibly good. But I would pass on the rock fish, it was barely seasoned and dry. If it wasn't for the stuffed crab (which was good!), it probably would have needed something to wash it down with.I got to taste some of the steak, and that was cooked very well and seasoned great.The sweet potato wedges (they're not like fries, they're dense and come with cinnamon sugar... It's more like a dessert), were good, but not what we expected.Good food overall, and music was great, as well as watching the water and beach while eating.Be prepared to drain the wallet though, it's very expensive. 4 of us ate, 3 had two drinks, the bill was $200. Service was fantastic and our waitress, Chanelle (sp?) was amazing! She was extremely accommodating and respectful.“

“Great seafood, great service. Doesn’t get any better than this!“

“This is one of those hidden jem places for great home cooking style food. Incredible view of the harbor from the outside tables. Just talk to the bartenders for transient slips. They make you feel like a regular by time you leave. This pirate will certainly stop again when visiting Cobb island!“

“I felt I had to review this little but awesome spot. It is worth the drive over. I called and the person on the other end was lovely and not rushed even though it was 40 mins to close on a Saturday night. I got the 6inch steak and cheese with everything and it was no joke. Filled all the way with steak and grilled onions. Husband got the 1/2 pound burger and said it was the best thing he has eaten at the beach. We topped it off with fries which were cooked just right. Thank you for coming through Paradise Bay.“

“The river has been collected at Ledos. It was good for a long time with all the service the food everything was great but wait time was good. The one thing is now the new people that owned it. The bartender, Joshua is a little bit corky deathly shouldn't be called. Bolin doesn't fit in trees people like crap at ScuttleButts.“

“Great food. Best crabs anywhere.“
