But I decided I would just even it out at 4 stars. 5 stars for the team who took the cake to their fridge and put many many many candles on it and brought it out for us! The specific waitress we had was very kind but she seemed very overwhelmed and wasn't the most attentive with water or clearing plates...perhaps she was new because the restaurant wasn't even busy. The food wow I hated it so bad. If you like bland food, no seasoning, no flavor, cold fries you'll like their fish n chips. I added so much salt and ketchup and dipped it heavily in the tartar sauce and it still was bland. Another friend didn't like her Caesar salad (very anchovy heavy. I tried it and thought it was good it just didn't taste anything like a Caesar salad lol.) My sister liked her shrimp tacos. And my hush puppies were edible.

Out of clam strips AGAIN. Have visited 3 times within last year. NEVER have clams strips available. We've been here ONLY because someone else chose this place the last two visits. Chilly day, when waitress was asked to turn on the fireplace, she said both of them were broken. Funny, neighbors were there on Friday night. They were working perfectly. I believe she just didn't want to be bothered with lighting them. Coleslaw was BAD, as in spoiled. Gross! When I told her, she did offer to replace, but by that time, we were almost done with meals. Hush puppies were so overdone, almost to point of being burnt. The fried shrimp were really good. The food here is always just "meh". Decor is non-existent, service leaves much to be desired. With so good seafood restaurants to choose from, don't waste your pick here.

Used to be the best seafood in Hampton and Poquoson…read more We go here a few times a year for special occasions or just to splurge on what used to be a fantastic restaurant. The place is usually packed with people, but the restaurant was almost empty at dinner time. I could not figure it out until my meal was brought out to the table. It explained why the restaurant is no longer busy. Went tonight for my birthday and it was a big disappointment. I ordered the special Grilled Rockfish and Shrimp for $30.99. My friend ordered the crab cakes for $39.99. The rockfish and shrimp had so much salty and foul tasting red seasoning that the only taste was the seasoning. Rockfish is delicious and the only seasoning needed for cooking is some butter, lemon, salt and pepper. Why would any cook (I say cook because they do not have a chef) ruin delicious piece of fish like rockfish by completely covering the fish in some seasoning that is meant for crab boil. The only reason restaurants use heavy seasoning are when they want to cover the taste of seafood that is not fresh or they have cooks that do not know how to properly cook rockfish. I could not tell if the rockfish was fresh because the only thing I could taste was the seasoning that was caked on the fish in a thick coating like a dry rub on ribs. I took two bites of the very small 4 oz filet of rockfish and had heartburn and indigestion. The 6 shrimp were small 50/60 count and were rubbery with no flavoring except the seasoning. The rockfish meal was $30.99 and the only thing I can say is the broiled fish dinner at Captain Ds for $10 beats the meal at Surfrider hands down. My friend had the crab cakes which she said were very good. She could not eat the collard greens because she said they were so salty that they were not edible. The cucumbers in vinegar side was also unlike any cucumber salad I have ever tried and I don't mean that in a good way. Good service and ambience but that still does not raise the bar above 1 star. Probably not the worse seafood dinner I have ever had but it definitely is the worse dinner that I had spent $100 on.

The scallops were grilled perfectly and the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever eaten. My friend had a fried platter and we dug it thoroughly, especially the fried oysters! The wines are generous pours, quality, and at $7-8 a great deal. The only reason for the deduction of 1 star is the seating. Unless you snag a booth (and there are only a few), the tables in the dining room aren't that cozy. Also the bar area seating is odd, with high tops at the bar. The service was top notch - fast, efficient, super friendly. Chris makes you feel like you're a young friend visiting from out of town :)

The place looked more like a dive bar than a restaurant and I guess, in some ways, it is. That being said, the best meals I had on my trip took place right here. I ordered the Greek salad and it was insanely good. I am still thinking about it. Such fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The house made dressing was SUPERB! Everyone in my group loved their meals. We also LOVED the staff. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Even the locals were friendly and Mill Creek began to feel like home.

I do wish they had a little better menu selection, for being advertised and recommended to me as African, this was the only dish that was close to. i was hoping for some Doro Wat, or Moambe Chicken, Injera, Braai, Pap en Vleis, Bobotie , Chapati/Mandazi, Nyama Choma, or even some Kitfo. they had none of these things, so I ended up wanting the Ox-Tail Pasta, aka Rasta Pasta. Its only available on certain days. so I actually had to come back for this, and I did. It Was tasty 4 large pieces and 3 tail end tip pieces. It was Large enough that I can probably get 3 meals from this at my portions. Price was little more than wanted but would come back again, just not regularly. I rank my decisions to eat somewhere again as: 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it, I would rather go hungry. 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options are open and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go
