Virginia's On the Bay Reviews
We waited almost two hours on a Sunday evening, and the hostess was obviously just ready for closing time. The food was over-priced and mediocre at best. The grilled sampler was completely flavorless and dry. The vegetables and rolls were from the freezer section at the grocery store, and the beer was not even cold. The waitress was fine, and the crap dip was good - those are the only positives. Definitely would not recommend.
After telling us, it would be an hour wait it was two hours and another hour before we got our food after ordering. The waiter never came around to check on us, forgot drink orders, it was a terrible dining experience. The food was mediocre. We were there a total of four hours and it was so not worth it.
Virginia's was one of my first stops as soon as I arrived! I HIGHLY recommend the Yellowfin Tuna from the appetizers menu! I went twice during this visit and brought some home with me!!! I have loved this ever since I tried it years ago. Great job Virginia's!!!

Virginia's On the Bay is a restaurant that offers a nice location and atmosphere, featuring stunning waterfront views ideal for a relaxed meal. The staff is fast and friendly, contributing to a welcoming experience. While the food quality has had some ups and downs in the past, certain dishes have received praise. The Yellowfin Tuna from the appetizers menu is highly recommended, and the crab dip appetizer with homemade tortilla chips is delightful. The grilled shrimp is very good, showcasing a simple dish that is hard to mess up, while the garlic fish has been noted for its incredible flavor. The coconut shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, adding a tropical twist that enhances the seaside setting.
Virginia's also has ample parking, making it a convenient choice for visitors. However, there have been complaints about long wait times and limited restroom facilities, which can create an uncomfortable experience for some guests. The cleanliness of the restrooms has been particularly criticized. Despite this, the overall dining experience is improving, and the restaurant is gaining popularity with diners. The Ooey Gooey Luie dessert has impressed guests, making it a must-try, although some diners have opted to skip dessert after their meals.
