Well to start the online menu doesn't matter how the real menu. Went for the Gluten Free options on the menu of yelp. She said they were probably "seasonal" ?? Your GF is seasonal? Ok moving on. They have a couple brands of cider on menu. I ask what flavors. "I don't know I would have to go ask". The. Just stood like you don't want to go ask do you? Ordered the artichoke crab dip. Very very light on crab it's the texture of whip cream. Very odd. We asked if they could do a GF crab cake since it's not on the "seasonal" menu. They said yes but it comes on a regular bun. What's the sense of GF if the bun isn't? Overall staff seems pretty un trained on most of the menu and over all server skills. $65 for lunch. And we split the sandwich because she never can back to take the rest of the order. read more

We went for Easter Sunday Brunch with family. The variety and quality of the buffet items was very good and there was something for everyone. Standouts were the Roast beef and chocolate torte. The shrimp cocktail was disappointingly undercooked, as were the poached eggs. But there were so many other options that it didnt detract from a very positive experience. We do recommend and will return. read more

First time visiting since pre-pandemic and we were terribly disappointed. We had reservations for 5 adults and 2 kids for Mother's Day Brunch. We'd gone to the brunch there over the years and always considered it pricey, but it was usually decent. Things have gone downhill since, starting with the price. Mother's Day brunch was $60 for adults and $25 for kids (my 5 year old grandson, really?). If I'm paying $60 per person, at least to food needs to be good. Landon was our server and he was mostly attentive...nice young man. Sad to say, he was the only good thing about our experience there today. The food was a major letdown. Our entire parties experience with the buffet line and the food was consistent...the food quality was a disappointment for everyone. From empty platters on the line that weren't refreshed in a timely manner, to some very odd flavors...the gravy for the biscuits and gravy tasted like pepperoni vs. sausage, an egg breakfast casserole that was a solid blob, missing bowls, empty pastry trays, I could go on and on. Finally, our family universally disliked the 3 dessert options of key lime pie, chocolate mousse, and peach cobbler. Each dessert tasted weird. Unless ownership or management changes, we won't return. I have a feeling our experience won't be unique. Good luck! read more

Everything was cold. Filet was tiny and overcooked. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen but it was a terrible meal. Service was slow. We watched a spider land on a woman's head at another table and she swatted it and it landed on their table. Such a swing and a miss for this location. read more

Went to their Thanksgiving buffet today. Extremely disappointed with the food. Everything except the soup was cold, not just warm, actually cold. I live within walking distance but will not spend my money their any longer. Seriously, how does turkey and ham under a heat lamp get cold? The trays of side dishes were cold also. Was not only me, all members of my party agreed. read more

Service was good considering we were the only customers in the restaurant at the time. Even so, the food is overly priced and I would only recommend this restaurant if you intend to spend at least $125, minimum. read more

My family (8 of us) went to the Riverwalk Restaurant yesterday for brunch as a celebration for my son's graduation from William & Mary. We live in NJ and found that nothing there even compared to the quality food selections, price and attentive service as we received at the Riverwalk. Everything was absolutely delicious and such a beautiful setting with live music playing in the background. Everyone walked away exclaiming what a perfect experience it was. Delicious!!! read more

I made a reservation for a party of 7 for outside seating in the evening of Saturday. When we arrived and checked out the table outside, it was so different from what I imagined, so I requested to go inside. A manager came and spoke to us to see if the restaurant can accomodate us. After a few minutes, a manager got me a table up by window. Awwww, I appreciate it. I am used to the white cloth dining in Alexandria, VA. LOL. The atmosphere was on point along with the service; however, food was somewhat ok, but it is not bad foot at all although some may expect more for the higher price. The view was fantastic from the lovely bay window. The whole historic area was very charming and inviting. I was wondering what happened to bread service we never received. I did not mention or ask because I did not want to be perceived as a complainer after a manager seated us inside. We would love to come back and visit again for brunch next time. read more

Had lunch there and it was awesome. Great menu selections, the ambience was great and our server was super friendly and helpful. I got the lobster roll and the martini of the day was great! Can't wait to go back and try some other menu items! read more

The food was amazing, the drinks were strong, and our server was such a sweetie. We would come here every weekend if we could!

I have to admit the presentation of the food is lovely. The taste, not so much. We ordered a cheese plate that should have been called a bread plate because it was mostly bread. If you're going to offer a cheese plate, it should be spectacular otherwise why else offer it? This was bland. I also ordered a Mediterranean salad. Everything was piled on in a separate bunch. It took up the whole plate so there was no way to blend it so that I could taste everything in one bite. The greens and cucumber were so big that I had to cut it up. The chickpeas tasted like they were dumped straight from a can. Yuck. Not at all appetizing. Lovely view though. read more

Loved everything about this place! We had our date night here and the food and service was amazing! Haily and Mia are top notch...the crab cakes are spectacular (very little filler). Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. read more

We wnt here for a nice lunch with some friends. We ordered cocktails as well as a juice and appetizer. Our cocktails were good and came out quick..we did have to remind our server twice that we still have not received our juice we ordered. The restaurant was not busy compared to when we have gone in the past Our 1 appetizer took almost 30 minutes to come out. Once we got our entry we were missing items in our salads which were not add add ons. We used the restrooms on our way out which were filthy and disgusting. We brought up all of our concers to the server and manager (sandy blonde hair) and the only response we got back was a "I'll talk to the staff". We didn't receive a single apology or anything. Very disappointed as this was a restaurant we very much enjoyed but will no longer be going to or reccommding to anyone. read more

hostess told us our table wasn't set up, she literally disappeared after telling us she would get it right away, waited 30 more minutes. The other two hostesses avoided eye contact as we waited. When I asked one of the young ladies what was going on she looked at our party like we didn't belong there.Asking what time was our reservation. 6:45. It was now 7:25. Once seated our waitress was wonderful. But the kitchen and bar took forever. The place had maybe 10 tables of people, including a young couple who we overheard saying they had to get home and they had waited over an hour and a half for two salads. It was their anniversary. For the price tag this was a terrible choice. I don't know what was going on, but it was unprofessional. The hostesses were harried and pretty rude. The manager was over his head. Never again! Our family was looking forward to what was supposed to be a wonderful place. You can use the under staffed before summer excuse. But this was beyond that. read more

This is a beautiful setting. If it is nice out, for sure sit outside. We were assured that they had gluten free items and a separate prep and cooking space. My daughter had lamb chops and son had tuna. Both said were amazing!! My husband and I had crab cakes. He loved them. I was assured they were gluten free, but alas I am afraid they mixed the two up when they served them to us or they were not gluten free. I was sick all night. They have the right idea regarding gluten free, so I am not sure what to think. Our waitress was so sweet, but she forgot us several times, husband's drink came 1/2 an hour late, I order hot tea with desert she forgot, our glasses were empty most of the time. We had reservations at 7, arrived on time and did not leave until around 930. We waited over an hour for our first item of food. They did not seem very busy, but, maybe short staffed and we slipped through the cracks. Not sure if we are a one off, but certainly have mixed feeling. If you have gluten issues stay away from the crab cakes at least. Probably will never try again as we are visiting from out of town, but this was our experience. read more

Made reservation with Open Table for a birthday diner, noted in in "occasion" and again in comments. Was initially offer a table next to a large table of 8 folks who were already quite loud and boisterous and another couple. Asked to be moved, picked another table and was told no, that is reserved! (No sign, no markings) It's 5:15 PM and the restaurant is near empty and you want to seat us next to a loud table and jam 12 people into one corner? and then when we ask for another table tell us no? We ask again for another table and get an eye roll and "all right" We had a ho hum dinner, wife had halibut but they never provided the side of cauliflower mash. I has skirt steak but it came out as slices? What? Steak slices is not a "Steak frites" dinner. So in the end despite the notice, no birthday wishes, nada. We asked on the way out and were told "Oh we had a card but you moved tables so you didn't get it" Front of house staff need a major attitude adjustment and retraining. There are better options available. read more

We sat outside on a beautiful day which was the only good thing about this experience for me. I had the over-priced clam strip po'boy with a side of greens. The po'boy was on an unimpressive cold bun with just a slight dribble of sauce. There was an upcharge for the greens and they were sweeter than candy. If you like sweet greens this is for you but I like savory greens and found these virtually inedible. Our waitress did offer to bring fries instead but I chose greens as a side to avoid extra carbs. Joke was on me with sugary sweet greens! My friend got shrimp and grits and said they were good. Not in her top 5 but good! Sooo...if you want pricey and just OK this place may be for you. read more

First I will say the service was great, the Ambiance was nice. The food was not so, shrimp was actually dry and burnt on one side pasta was dry ,cold and the mussels were the smallest I've ever seen but they were good. read more

An extension of Water Street Grille, this restaurant is not always open. It is namely reserved for events and busy weekends in Yorktown. The menu is identical to Water Street Grille, but you can expect a more intimate and calm atmosphere compared to the sister site. The menu leaves something to be desired, when you expect a classier experience. All food and drinks come from the other building, but the staff is friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks (including seasonal specials) are wonderful. Don't expect extra perks for special occasions. read more

Loved the private Valentine's Day dinner. It was 4.5 stars on appetizers and entrees and 5 stars on the chocolate mousse and raspberry dessert and the banana cheesecake. read more

We stopped for lunch while touring the Historical sights of Yorktown. What a pleasant surprise! We enjoyed the outdoor seating with a nice view of the river and raw oysters for starters. I had the Mediterranean Salad with Salmon and my husband had the daily special of a BLT made with soft shell crab. My salad was fresh, plated well, and the dressing was perfect! My husband said he would order the sandwich again as well! Quick friendly service made it a great place to stop for lunch. We would go again! read more

First and last time in this place. Dry oysters, no straws, medium steak was well done, wait time - never on time. Tasteless food Never again read more

Good food, fast service. They messed up my daughter's order, but fixed it quickly and offered a free treat to compensate. Salads were really good! read more

Went there on a Friday night and sat at the bar. The staff and service was great. The food, not so much. Started with the mussels. Sauce was way to salty and mussels were very small. Then had the fish and chips. Fish was cooked to long and had no taste. I will go back, but will stick to a hamburger read more

This place is closed! Need to update the site. The Waterside Grille next door was opened. But the music was really loud. Hard to carry out a conversation. Very disappointed. read more

We walked in and our server walked us right to our table, our drinks were outstanding, and the appetizer our server recommended was THE BEST!!! Can't say enough about our fabulous server! She was soooo polite, and on top of everything. We had a fantastic time!!! read more

View was wonderful. Food was outstanding! Great suggestions from Gabby. She was very friendly and took her time to explain the menu and tell us how excellent the puppies are! read more

reservation changed after Brad personally let us know of 5 course Italian inspired menu same nite, arrived early, chatted with 3 different hostesses and saw Brad shortly after arriving, we sat in lobby to wait to be seated, arrived 30 minutes early, large groups started trickling in for special dinner, Brad personally showed up to take them all back to be seated in special room, glanced over at us in lobby and said to join and follow group, as we entered tables for 6 started to add people and a large rectangular table to accommodate 10+ people , I saw a round able with 3 people seated and reached for a chair, met with a negative voice " these seats are reserved" or something to that affect, saw Brad in the room asked where my husband and I should sit, he waved at a middle table away from the windows to see York river, which I spoke with him earlier about seats with a view, it took 20 seconds to realize how we were snubbed, treated poorly and used to fill up his $110 per person seating needs, left ASAP, had a much better experience and dinner at Waypoint restaurant ; if your a humble fisherman on the York river you too have a great view; so skip the views get great service and food elsewhere it will be worth it! read more

The chef did a fantastic job in presentation and taste and the service was impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant

Ok, I am not huge on taking photos of my food (normally because I'm too excited to start eating right away), but when my plate of fish & chips came, I just had to...I mean, look at this thing of beauty? And if you think the plate is great, the taste of everything was even more impressive from the mains to the house sauces & slaw! My wife and I have been to this restaurant numerous times and it never disappoints. Their staff is always so friendly, polite, & helpful, their ambiance, especially on a clear day, is such a beautiful setting inside and out by the river, and their food is amazing, filling, and worth every penny! Not seen in the picture was my cup (great serving) of their she-crab soup, which has been my favorite in the area for the past two years! We also had their signature salmon salad, which has the freshest and greatest tasting mixture of greens, berries, goat cheese and toasted walnuts (they are still warm when the plate comes out), and I still haven't had a better piece of salmon than this one in the state! Always a go to for lunch or dinner - ask to be seated by the windows for their great view of the river (or outside on a warm day), and take a nice stroll in Yorktown when finished! read more

Riverwalk Restaurant - Fish & Chips - New American Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Upon stumbling upon this area, we decided to stop for dinner given the nice weather and water front location. Honestly the next door restaurant was our first choice but there was a 45 minute wait so we walked over to Riverwalk where there was no wait. This was the first red flag. Why would two adjacent venues have different crowds- Riverwalk has no wait, adjacent restaurant 45 minute wait. Pros: Table side credit card processing Free parking deck Water view Full bar offering both mocktails and cocktails Bread service Calamari Exfoliating station in bathroom Cons: -Restaurant smelled of spoiled seafood upon entering dining space -Waitress not very knowledge of food preparation which is odd for fine dining (ie. Would say vague things like made with spices); descriptors and details are key when answering questions on food preparation -We were advised that bread service came after soup serving however the table seated across from us received bread as soon as they were seated; once again conflicting details I ordered the salmon entree which was the only non fried option. Salmon is normally the safe fresh fish choice when visiting a restaurant for the first time however this was the worst salmon I've ever had. It was advertised as a bourbon glazed salmon with peanuts. This was accurate but the flavor combinations were disgusting. The salmon glaze tasted rancid on top of a bed of instant over cooked jasmine rice garnished with crushed peanuts and plated with roasted tomatoes. There were just too many uncomplimentary flavors. My companion ordered the fried seafood platter which was not memorable either. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and was really impressed with the selection for the all you could eat brunch - baked oysters, glazed salmon, salads, fresh fruit, made-to-order omelets and waffles. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were able to sit outside (can get hot), and had a beautiful view of the water, ships, and had prime people watching spots. For a buffet- the food was good quality and reasonably priced and the view was great! It was also convenient to a lot of the historical sites. read more

I had a party of 26 that came for lunch. We were able to reserve a private room and my contact Bri, had place names made for my guests to facilitate their pre-orders. I met earlier in the week to review the overall process. She was very helpful and professional. Our servers, Danielle and Megan made the process easy and brought in the various waves of entrees and made sure all my family members were taken care of. Drink refills were timely, and they also cleared any unneeded settings. The view of the York River was wonderful and some of the kids were able to go outside in an enclosed area to enjoy the river and boats. One family member had just flown in from London and noticed the Fish & Chips wall decor. He felt at home. Thanks again to the staff at Riverwalk for a great luncheon experience. read more

We ate at the restaurant next door at the water street grille- it was a horrible experience- we will never return. Bathroom issues, food was mediocre, staffing issues(one waitress was replaced with a poor substitute), and mediocre service. So we came to the Riverwalk restaurant who though have higher prices have much better service, better food, and better drinks. It was well worth the slightly higher price. We enjoyed the bartender named Hailey- she made wonderful drinks, efficient, and very personable. We had a great time. Highly recommend the boozy iced coffee and out of my character the pineapple ube colada was wonderful. Staff were pleasant and the food/drinks were worth the price. We will return. Thank you for treating us well and providing above and beyond service. read more

You'd have to search a long time to find a bigger gap between expectations going in and experience coming out. Service was at times lackluster and inattentive, and at other times just plain rude. Food was adequate at best, certainly not anything to recommend. I see that another member of my party has already detailed the experience we had trying to celebrate my mom's birthday so I will not pile on here except to say that her account is spot-on. Not worth the drive from Yorktown to dine here, let alone from Richmond. read more

River walk provides a perfectly lovely dining experience period from the beautiful decor and amazing view of the James river bridge and the Coleman bridgeRiver walk provides a perfectly lovely dining experience period from the beautiful décor and amazing view of the York River and the Coleman Bridge...the food was lovely too.

The food is super yummy! The view is stunning! And the staff is so nice! Our waitresses name was Katelyn and she was so pleasant :))

Had reservations for Farther's Day and still had to wait 40 mins. Was not for dad would have left. Disappointing.

Our family had a great experience. We were seated quickly and served promptly. They had a solid kids menu and vegetarian options; there is also a great beer menu. Our food was fantastic, with very healthy portions. read more

Food was good, had fish and chips, egg plant appetizer. Got dessert, usually don't but splurged and wish we hadn't, creme brule was not crème, texture off and was yellow, maybe too many egg yokes, other than that great experience. Great atmosphere/view. read more
