“Absolutely pleasant experience. The food was tasty and outstanding. The service was over the top efficient, kind and helpful. The blonde haired girl (lady in her 40s) that was our waitress on July 2nd for the fireworks went above and beyond to help us. Thank you for being a diamond in the rough. For having quality food and a great atmosphere.“

“Food is incredible! Live in Suffolk and drove to Smithfield for it and it was well worth it. Will definitely be going back“

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

“If you have not been to the Smithfield Inn in the past 6 months, I highly recommend going. Chef Gary highlights local favorites and pays attention to details with the entire meal. The sides accompanying the main course were as exceptional as the main entree. Their signature bread pudding was delicious. Not too sweet or boozey. Service was great as well.“

“Our server Jake was awesome! Super attentive and helpful. Good and drink on point as always. We will be back!“

“We had the King Suite and the bed was very comfortable. The bedroom was big and so was the living room area. There is only one bathroom so our daughtet had to use the one in our room. Although the pull out couch was okay she preffered the roll away bed that they provided when asked. When you walk into your room there is a switch by the door that you must turn on to turn the bathroom lights on and off in the bathroom. The bathroom was a nice size with good lighting. The floor can be a little slippery when wet. It may have been the type of tile. The pool area was very nice and enjoyed. The lobby area is a nice size. Oh although you cant tell the King Suite door closes and locks. The staff was very friendly all the time. When ever we needed anything they were there to assist. Overall I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Besides the one bathroom in the suite I would give 10 because of the confort. If continental breakfast was availablenit would have been 12“

“Love the wings and the beef Bulgogi..I never had a bad experience there. The person taking the orders are always polite and courteous no matter who it is. I highly recommend this place!!“

“We had our first visit, and we were impressed! The inside was clean and outside views are great. All the servers were working together and moving intentionally. We ordered calimari as an appetizer- it was delicious. The main entrees were large. Unfortunately, the seafood feast and crab cakes were very salty, though cooked perfectly. The filet was amazing! We’d love to say we would be back, but the saltiness was a turn off.“

“food was great, the restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait. Our server Morgan was exceptional, she had several people to take care of, and she done it without missing a beat. will definitely be back and ask for her.“

“Great food, very fresh! We came on a Sunday shortly after opening and they got our food to us quick and it was very good. Staff was super nice and helpful in making a choice of which option to get. Dining area is comfy and well lit. Really enjoyed our visit!“

“Great food.😋 Great establishment overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“Nice little selection of bourbon, great service and food. Will definitely be back soon“

“Knowledge staff and delicious food. The fish of the day was fresh and well prepared. They were conscious about what silverware was needed for each course and set the table accordingly. It was well paced between drinks, appetizers, entree, and dessert. Would recommend it for a casual meal or celebration.“

“A peaceful place to enjoy a delicious well made breakfast with friendly and attentive service. It is my dining sanctuary in such a very busy and stressed out city.“

“Great food, great place to grab drinks. Brooklyn was a wonderful waitress and I love bringing in my out of town friend to schooners for great drinks and food when I’m town!“

“11/13/2022 Lunch with friends today. As always food was hot and cooked to our liking. Never disappointed. Today it was especially good. The Super Young Lady we had as a Server, her name was Rachel was an absolute pleasure!! All of us said the same thing. Attentive. Super Personality and just couldn’t have been any sweeter. We all brag about the food; but Young People like this deserve recognition and hopefully Management let’s her know how much we enjoyed the food, but she was the highlight of the meal. Excellent Job Young Lady!!“

“I like this place; the only issue I had was that you put an appetizer 15 minutes before you place your meal. you get both at the same time. making it make sense l had tell the waitress if comes out the same time as meal. What's the purpose of order a appetizers if you're going to bring out with the meal is my question“

“Our waiter was a little rude. He seemed to have an attitude. Other than that the food was good and of course being with my family! My dad’s 91st Birthday!!!“
