“We always have a wonderful time at Riverwalk. My family and I always celebrate here for graduations, new jobs, anniversaries, and birthdays. I have celiac disease, and they always have plenty of gluten free options and are willing to accommodate. It really is difficult to find SAFE gluten free food in York County. FANTASTIC espresso martinis and love how cozy and coastal it feels in the indoor dining area. Food was delicious, huge portions, and I felt safe eating here!My husband and I came for our 4th wedding anniversary, and the manager, Brad, and our server, Corey, were wonderful. Brad is quite knowledgeable in the gluten free department. Good food, good service, and yummy options for the celiac community. THANK YOU Riverwalk! We will continue to dine here for many years to come.“

“We ate there April 4th 2025 and the food was amazing! I had the Cowboy BBQ Brisket Sandwich it was super tender and juicy and falling apart. My husband had the Cheesiest Burger, which as the name suggests is quite cheesy. Battered fried were crispy and flavorful. However the Mac and cheese did not live up to my husbands standards. I would still definitely recommend this place. It was absolutely delicious!!!“

Vintner's Cellar Winery of Yorktown Wine Bar • $$
1213 George Washington Memorial Hwy suite c, Yorktown

“Had a great wine tasting experience here today! Brandon, the owner, was so much fun, and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. It was interesting learning about how these wines are made since they are different from your typical winery. Everything was so good that it was hard to pick just a few to purchase at the end. Don’t be hesitant to try them if you are a dry wine fan - I usually drink dry wines because I find most sweet wines too syrupy sweet, but these were delightfully fruit forward and sweet from the infused fruits. You can’t find something like this in the grocery store. I’ll definitely be back to purchase more!“

Man makes the best wings I've ever had in my 38 years. His steaks are cooked to perfection and I haven't had the opportunity to try a burger yet but that's next on my list. Overall I would definitely recommend the Garden Grille to any and all in the Yorktown/Newport News area!“

The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect.® American •
530 St Johns Rd, Newport News - 8.59 miles

“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“
