Always a favorite when we are in town, from the pretzel, crab dip, blackened fish tacos to blueberry margaritas, you really can’t go wrong. Love the new location! See you again, soon!
My family and I have eaten here several times, but this was our first experience at the new location. The atmosphere was amazing, the food is always great and our server Brittney was THE best. We had small children and a large party. Thanks Brittney for giving us a great experience!!!!

Went for lunch with friends after church and had a wonderful meal. It has a very good atmosphere and easy to talk without loud noises. I love coming here to eat and our friends enjoyed and will be back when they’re in town again. Our server Brittany was such a joy to have as a server I will ask for her our next visit!

This place is definitely a must-visit. We got so many wonderful things to eat. They were all above and beyond what we expected. We didn't make a reservation and got a table in about a half an hour. We sat at the bar while we waited. The bartender was very kind. We will definitely be back.

I had the seafood stack and it was out of this world. Wait staff were knowledgeable, polite and attentive. Noise level is a little high, otherwise I'd have given it 5 stars all the way across.

Came for lunch today and had a great meal. Between the ahi tacos, seafood pot pie, fish and chips, everything was great. Server was really nice and attentive. Great experience!

We recently moved to Williamsburg and went to Oceans & Ale for the first time. What a marvelous experience! We sat at the bar and Terrell was a great bartender. I ordered the Seafood Pot Pie and it was awesome. Perfectly flaky crust over a delicious combination of seafood. My husband had the French Dip and he said it was the best he had ever eaten. Both accompanied by our favorite Free Verse beer. We will definitely be back.

Went to the new location for the first time tonight and it felt like the food took a step down since they moved. The steaks weren’t great. New seasonal drinks were bland. The dining area felt very crowded. The seafood spring rolls were still awesome. But that was the highlight of tonight’s experience.

What a great time! We had not been to the new location, and finally got a chance to check it out. What a treat! The food is as delicious as we remember from the former location! They did a great job with creating a terrific vibe. The space is well appointed, with a beautiful aesthetic.
We want to especially mention our 1st rate service, with the lovely Brittany. She is a delight and very good at taking care of her guests. We can’t wait to go back 🤍

WOW!!! Outrageously delicious! From the pretzel to the seafood nachos to the seafood mac to the seafood pie to the french dip to the steak & cake, literally EVERY SINGLE MORSEL was nailed by the chefs - with ZERO complaints from anyone at our table (a rarity for our group!)
Alyssa was our server and was absolutely fantastic. Her interactions with each of us was friendly and professional, making sure we were 100% satisfied throughout the meal.
Admittedly, watching the interactions of the staff - from the bartenders to the other servers - I could not be more impressed. I’ve been an exec for a few corporations over the years and own my own art retail store now, and for me to say there isn’t a single employee I wouldn’t hire says a lot. Great management and great hiring practices. We will be back!

Ordered Seafood Pot Pie. It was delicious and full of seafood. My first trip here but not my last trip for sure. We had a party of 4, with 4 different dishes and we all loved our meals. Alyssa was our server. She was sweet, helpful with dish recommendations and pleasant. Portion size was spot on. Not too big or too small. Compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff.

We came in tonight to try out the new location.. We came in at 6 and were seated 10 minutes later. I was a little skeptical given some of the negative reviews but I was seriously impressed with how nice it was inside. It has a very classy feel to it but still casual. Our server was Brittney who was great and helped my husband sample some of the beers there. She recommended a pumpkin ale which he really liked. I tried the pear mule which was very good. I got the fish and chips and he got the burger. The fish was exactly what I was hoping it would be. Very moist and crispy on the outside. Thank you to Brittney who made it a great experience! I would definitely come back!
