The other person in my party ordered the fish sandwich with fried flounder and fried shrimp, a whiting taco, and a shrimp taco. The sandwiches had large pieces of fish and thick shrimp. The Bubba sauce which is a remoulade had a little heat to it and was just right for the sandwich to give it moisture and flavor. The food is made to order so allow time for it to be prepared after you order it. Anyway who wants fried food that has been sitting around. The wait was not very long. There are about 9 tables with a window counter. It was busy but not crowded when we went. The service was attentive. The bags with the food were brought directly to us rather than having us come back to the counter.

In most restaurants the servers don't even look at customers they are not working with. Our server, Darien E, was very smiling, kind and helpful.

She was friendly, attentive, and the food came out pretty quick and nice and hot. They brought out some little hush puppies when we sat down, which was a nice little extra. I started with the calamari, and it was really good. Nice and crispy, good-sized portion, and came with a little lemon. For dinner I got the Williamsburg-style shrimp and grits. It had jumbo shrimp with a tasso ham gravy over creamy cheddar stone-ground grits, with a garlic crostini. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. The grits were really good too. The whole dish was flavorful without being spicy or too hot. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. Definitely two thumbs up and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Williamsburg.

This…read morerestaurant was executing at a very high level and it seemed like every dish was prepared with care and thought. The service was friendly and very informative, which was nice as we made decisions. The ambience was also excellent; we sat outside, but would've been happy to sit inside in the lively dining room. The standout dish of the meal was the baked Chincoteague clams. These were flavored with Thai green curry and were excellent bites. The smoked pork taco was also very much a stand out, the smoked flavors contrasted well with the freshness and it relief belt as if this taco provided bang for buck. The other dishes were well executed. A crab gazpacho with grape and other aromatic flavors as the base was well done but there was not much crab and so did not feel as if it was a particularly worthwhile dish to get. The grape flavor was also somewhat too prominent for my liking, but the dish was refreshing and light as promised. The brussels sprouts were solid but not particularly memorable. The oyster taco was slightly overburdened by slaw and proved somewhat more tangy than what was called. I would definitely come back for the clams and the smoked pork taco and would be interested to taste the raw preparations as well as the fried chicken taco next time.

Thanks to Yelp for leading us to Casa Pearl!…read more We were charging our car for a roadtrip at the Wawa next door and was looking for something a little more elevated than a sub to tide us over for dinner. The high reviews and the bumpin' scene outside led us to Casa Pearl. A quick look around, we thought that we might have to find a place more kid friendly but the lovely hostess assured us that they were in fact welcoming to the under ten set. So with a few kids menus and crayons in hand, we all ended up having the best rest stop dinner of our life! Everything was served tapas style and service was extremely quick so we were able to get fully fed during out 45 minute charging session. Truly a win. Kiddos loved the chicken tenders, chicken quesadillas, and tostones. I loved my margarita (no super sweet mix here, this was some good stuff), brussel sprouts, and chargrilled oysters. My husband LOVED the chicharrones and pimento cheese dip as well and was happy by how GF friendly everything was. We would definitely come back if we are in the area again.

It's still quite wonderful and price comparable with Berrett's, which is equally excellent. I started with the compressed watermelon and feta salad. Delicious and refreshing, but I think this is too large at four large pieces. This can be ordered and shared as it's a delight in summer. I had the salmon which was exactly the right size, perfectly cooked and accompanied by roasted asparagus. My husband had the crab soup which was delicious. His entree was shrimp bucatini that he enjoyed but found the portion much too large. Service was outstanding, and my rather complex food restrictions were treated with respect and caution. This is just a wonderful place to dine, especially when you want a quiet, adult environment and be just a bit fussed over.

The dining was relaxing, with a roaring fire and tables spaced nicely apart. Parking is free and located out front.

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

After agonizing over places to go in a tourist town, we chose Ember for our anniversary dinner…read more The food was amazing, the options were perfect. One part safe bet, two parts interesting options. After reviewing the cocktails, and asking waitstaff for recommendations, I ordered the Liquid Sword. This cocktail was a unique combination of flavors that accentuated and complimented each other to make something more than the sum of its parts. For my meal, I ordered the safe bet: the Prime Ribeye. My wife took the adventurous route (not normal for her) with the Gochujang Bolognese. Everything was amazing. The steak stood on its own, but the compound butter (Black Garlic) took it over the top. The Bolognese had amazing flavor with a little bit of a kick, which she was nervous about, but wanted to try something she couldn't get anywhere else. In a tourist town, there are many mediocre restaurants that survive on one time tourist visits. Ones that would quickly be out of business in any other town. Ember is not one of them. It was obvious to me that the waitstaff had respect for the guests and the guest experience, which is so rare and so refreshing. You could tell they actually genuinely cared. I noticed several small details that may have went unnoticed to some, such as pipelining solutions to possible issues to improve guest experience. Don't sleep on this restaurant. We came into town and didn't realize that most of the "nicer" restaurants close early (8:30p) and that you need a reservation. I'm so glad we looked at other places and found Ember. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to going back the next time we're in town. Ember, if you are reading this: keep on keeping on. Do not turn into the status quo of tourist trap restaurants. Keep a menu that has approachable items and continue to keep the unique interesting items like you have, while empowering your staff to help the guests to connect with the dishes that they will enjoy.
