Great place to eat, good vibe, and great value. Convenient to the revolutionary museum in Yorktown. 
We had a lovely meal at The Waterfront Restaurant. As the name suggests, it overlooks the water and is a good spot for a casual lunch. It’s a popular place, so be prepared to wait — we visited on a Tuesday afternoon and, even at 2:45pm, there was a 20-minute wait.
The staff were great, and we were seated as soon as they were able. We had the haddock fish and chips, which were lovely, although the portion was on the small side. The beef burger was also good....read full review

The Waterfront Restaurant is a long-standing establishment that has been under the same ownership for decades. Customers have consistently enjoyed great seafood meals, such as fish and chips, fried scallops, and crab cakes, served by friendly staff. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere with a deck overlooking the harbor, making it a popular spot for both meals and drinks. Diners have praised the amazing food, including a delicious New England clam chowder made from a 45-year-old recipe, and have highlighted the incredible key-lime pie and creamy peachy lime pie as must-try desserts.
The restaurant has received positive reviews for its beautiful views of the boats and scenery, with one customer noting that "the best part is to be able to sit on the deck by the water." Another customer praised the "top-notch, very generous portions" and the "beautiful view." The menu offers a variety of enticing options, including calamari, margaritas, the waterfront Cuban, and fish tacos, all of which have been described as "absolutely delicious." While the service has been noted as needing improvement, with one customer waiting 20 minutes to order and 45 minutes to receive their food, the overall dining experience is still considered refreshing and charming.
