We had a weeknight dinner here the other day. Our server was Vickie (sp?), and she was awesome! She…read morerecommended the hibiscus margarita - great choice! Mine had a tajin rim!! We had the wings with the Chef Eddie's sauce on the side. We split a pear and strawberry salad which also had pecans and blue cheese. I don't recall the vinaigrette but it worked well with the salad. We added a chicken breast for extra protein. For my meal, I had the Norfolk combo with the veggie of the day (succotash). The combo consists of sautéed scallops, shrimp, and lump crabmeat in a buttery sauce. It was excellent! My husband had the NY strip off the new elevated menu. He got the brussel sprouts and sweet potato fries. I forgot to take a picture of the fries, but they were good and hot! He said the strip was very good also. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I liked how we sat inside, but a had a view of the water. It's a nice restaurant with great service!

Had high hopes but sadly the food fell short!…read more The highlights of the restaurant were the waterfront dining and the friendliness of the waitress and the trainee. My husband and I thought the appetizer sampler sounded good and would give us a good idea of their food. The crab cakes with the wonton was not good and the crab dip hardly had any crab in it. The ham biscuits were okay and really the only dish that was as good was the bang bang shrimp. Also even though our waitress was very friendly she hardly checked on us and we had to wait a long time to get our check. The only thing going for this place is the view.

Good music playing throughout and It was cool listening to the kitchen sing along to it. Glad they were having fun. We'll be back soon!

My plate was delivered to the table cold and the french fries were only bits and pieces. Logan, the waitress was extremely rude and would not correct the problem.

We were just out for a drive and arrived in Smithfield around lunch time. After looking around at…read morethe local restaurants we decided on the Smithfield Inn. The charm of this historic building is wonderful it was old enough to be historic but modern enough to be comfortable. We were greeted by Cydney who was the hostess as well as our waitress, a very pleasant young lady who was professional and friendly. It was a Sunday and they were serving brunch, Cydney explained the specials and we decided on items from the menu, it was easy to read and explained the meals. After a brief wait Cydney brought our meals, the presentation was excellent but the taste was even better. I'm usually a big eater but I could not finish the entire meal. I would certainly give this restaurant five stars. As we were finishing our meals the Chef came out and asked if we enjoyed our meals and both of us told him the meals were exceptional. I am looking forward to our next trip to the Smithfield Inn

Went into the main sitting room and they had a fire going. Bathrooms were clean. Service: Hostess who sat us, was nice and sweet. Waitress was very attentive and kind. Bartender checked to see how we enjoyed the cocktail and was very friendly.

Our second time here and it was wonderful again…read more First our server, Heather. She was as sweet as our tea. On that note she was very attentive and kept checking on us and kept our sweet teas full. Sorry no pictures today. But my Ham Steak (Farmers Breakfast) with eggs, potatoes and English muffins was very good and a decent size for the price. Wifey had the Windsor. She tells me she liked it. The place was fairly full at about 11:00 AM, but we still received our hot meals in maybe 10 minutes. I highly recommend this Smithfield location. I understand they have a new location currently under construction in Newport News. Really hope they maintain that one as well as this one. So go enjoy yourself a nice breakfast.
