The shop offers a delightful mix of old-fashioned and modern candies, as well as unique novelties like gigantic gummy bears.

A Fife and Drum band played and marched through numerous times and they had a great husband and wife duet singing and playing electric keyboard which added a nice festival feel to the beautiful sunny day with breezes blowing off the river. There are a few shops in the market area including a gift shop, bookstore with great used books, many on local history, some outdoor outfitters and a Ben and Jerry's. I recommend going early. The market starts at 8. We arrived around 930 and it was already very very crowded but luckily we found a parking spot in their small parking garage.

The biggest issue was the portion size. The special only came with two tacos, which only contained 6 shrimp in total, which felt a little light for a meal. I was also surprised by the bar. I asked for a mojito and was told that they couldn't make drinks that are not on their menu. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing because from the looks of it, they had a full-service bar, which I wouldn't think a mojito would be an issue to make. And no, I wasn't asking for a mojito during a busy time when the bartender was slammed. Overall, the food tasted very good and the waterfront location was hard to beat. It was only two small things that kept this from being a 5 star experience, but I absolutely would come back as I enjoyed myself.

Situated right under the York River bridge, not far from the Yorktown museum, is the cutest village. I'm sorry, they can't claim it as part of the original Yorktown but it is cute. There is a lovely river walk...hence the name of the restaurant. They have some of the BEST views in the area being right there. We had reservations however it being the busiest day for restaurants, we had to chill our heels for a few moments before being taken back. I was more than ok with this as we ended up getting a window seat (see above for reference). Thank heavens they put the name of the server in the receipt cuz y'all know my Swiss cheese brain. Cara was the wonderful server who took care of us. She was always there ready for me to get my mum good & spoiled. Super friendly and very helpful. The buffet, it was impressive for a buffet and while not a big buffet, it was specialized. First up were 3 different kinds of salads, then a fruit platter, and bagels & cream cheese. They had a raw bar with shrimp & oysters next, then breakfast stuff (eggs, potatoes bacon etc) mac & cheese, garlic mashed taters & then a carving station with turkey, ham & lamb. Finally a small but respectful dessert table. If you couldn't find something to fill you, you weren't looking. The single sour note of the buffet was the salmon and Mac & cheese. I'll know better next time. Overall the River Walk has come back with perfect timing and style. I highly recommend a visit. Parking is a pain but patience will help

I wanted to go back for my birthday so I went last week, it was during the week so it was not too busy. I am not sure if they were short staffed but I had the worst experience! We sat outside, we had to keep swatting away flies. Our server was the worst, she barely let me finish my sentence before she walked away. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay. Our food was not great either. This time I got the crab cakes, no sauce came with it and my mashed potatoes were dry. The seasonal vegetable was asparagus and it was not cooked properly, it was tough and fibrous. My husband got a steak, it has no flavor and his asparagus was the same as mine. I couldn't want to just leave. What a disappointment.

It has nice areas to sit and enjoy a coffee or a smoothie. The prices are tourist prices so higher than I would like. But the peach, pear apricot smoothie is practically unparalleled. The food offerings are scant. Pre-made sandwiches and wraps in a cold case, baked goods like muffins and scones are prewrapped to grab and go. Most of the food offerings are what I would expect to grab in a convenience store. Still having something on site to grab a bite is very nice, because otherwise you have to drive into town. I think if the place gets enough customer traffic maybe they will expand their offerings. Right now they get 4 stars for the flavor combinations in that smoothie which I ended up sharing with 3 other family members!

The majority of the food is prepackaged. Just because they serve aromas doesn't mean it's the same quality or standard. My drink was bitter and gritty. It almost seemed like it was made with instant coffee. If that instant coffee wasn't stirred into the cup but just spooned in. Maybe my expectations were too high? If you just want a simple coffee? Then it's fine. I would avoid lattes or any drink that involves adding anything more than coffee to it.
