Drove 2 hours to explore this restaurant. Never regret! Maybe after retirement, move to that area. Get a pontoon boat, eat seafood.

The food was incredible, the market prices are great, the staff is always so kind and accommodating. I am willing to make the drive from Richmond just to have lunch. We'll worth the

We had high expectations but we're disappointed at quality of food. Oysters we're over fried, crabballs we're very small for 5 @ $11.49, shrimp we're big, tails on and only 3 on each Taco for $12.49, slaw on Taco made Taco shell soft from water in basket. Not impressed, will not be back! I wish we had gone to Bubba's shrimp shack, probably would have been better & closer. Guess we paid for the atmosphere!

What a great experience. Was a tough find with the long dirt road but keep going you will get to a place worth visiting. Great positive atmosphere and really good food. Staff was a good help with directing and friendly. Very impressed and hope to coming back very soon.Parking: Park beside the fence and walk around to the water

Great fresh seafood with a view. Really represents the area: casual, raw bar centric fresh food with a view. One of my favorite places.

Right on the water. Lovely view. NOT air conditioned! Open covered patio type areas! I did not like my fish and chips but the other 11 people cleaned their plates and said it was delicious! I’m not above saying it could be me and my personal preference.Parking: Parking is odd and you think you’re in the wrong place, just keep going, you’ll get there!!!

Watching the cormorants swim in the water while eating seafood swimming in oil. Overcooked and oily seafood fish, shrimp, oysters and undercooked hush puppies on a pier overlooking the water. We visited based on the recommendation of some friends, the venue stood up to expectations,the food fell way below. I'll chock this up to, we did it but probably wouldn't return.

Service was friendly and the view was nice, but they didn't cut the oysters' muscle from the shell, so it was harder to eat, and the steamed clams had a lot of grit.

Great location in Urbanna. Great seafood and ambience. Would love to live here in this part of VA but stuck in hell aka Phoenix. You people here in Urbanna don't know how lucky you are!

The drive to the restaurant was a little daunting, I just had to believe my GPS. It was worth the drive. The wait staff were very prompt, and the menu was varied. We settled on one of the platers & I had the soft-shelled crab sandwich. The waitress brought over tartar sauce per my request. However, the soft-shelled crab didn't need anything. it was fanatic. My wife had the plater and of course I sampled it too. The only thing that could be improved was the hushpuppies. They were a wee bit dense and hard to cut (not light). I would go back and try other items on the menu when we are back in Urbanna again.

We had a great experience here. It's a rustic hole in the wall seafood place on the water that delivers exactly what they say. Loved it.
