    Sandpiper Seafood Combo, delicious and fresh!
    Kim H.

    The weekend we spent in Kilmarnock, VA, it was recommended that we eat here for dinner. I started off with a salad and chose the Sandpiper Seafood Combo, and the meal was really good. The shrimp was good and the crab cake was yummy and my fries were just the way I like them. The staff were very friendly and outgoing and good vibes. I definitely would go back!

    Filipino breakfast is AMAZING! The Filipino sausage, pork strips, garlic rice, rice noodles......everything flavored and cooked to perfection! Please don't go here, because I want to keep this gem all to myself!!! Seriously delicious, and there are other delicious choices, too, if you want something more traditional or even something more lunchy.

    Long story short: I loved everything about this place!!! Detailed version: We visited this restaurant for the first time Wednesday night for my birthday dinner. The place was pretty busy but we were still able to be seated right away! The tables were a little tight together but the place gave off such an "old time home" feel that I was ok with that. We ordered some drinks, and a bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer. The drinks were good and they brought out the most amazing complementary bread! It was soft and sweet and just melted in your mouth....so of course we finished that and asked for a second! The bacon wrapped shrimp was really good, five good sized shrimp with crispy bacon and a sweet dipping sauce. For my meal I ordered the shrimp scampi. By that time I was close to filled up on bread and the appetizer that I had to get a box to go, but the bites that I did take there were really good. The shrimp was the same decent sized ones that came with the appetizer and had a garlic cheese over top. I could have gone with a little more butter sauce (just because I LOVE butter) but it with still pretty great as is. The waitress found out it was my birthday over the course of the night and multiple times wished me happy birthday. On the way out she did it again and other guests in the restaurant started to sing. You can tell this is a really great little town, filled with kind hearted people, because we felt at home and left with a huge smile on our faces! We will definitely return when we're in the area again!

    As a business traveler, I sometimes come to some very small towns, often with limited and disappointing restaurant choices. This was an absolute gem. Cozy atmosphere, and very good food. Definitely an upscale locals hang out, however, not pretentious.

    Had the crabcake and shrimp with a twice cooked potato.

When my wife called to make a reservation, she made it a point of telling the woman she spoke with (Chef Meseret) that it would be our anniversary, and that wasn't even acknowledged at any point during our meal, even though they recognized another customer's birthday. The meal itself was fine, but not exceptional, from oyster appetizer to crab cake entrée to cheesecake dessert. Everything was more or less good until the meal was finished. The waiter asked us if we wanted "to review your charges", which we thought was odd, since we figured we'd just get the check. Instead of that, the guy came over with an iPad and showed us the charges. In addition to the fixed price meal ($80 per person) we ordered two cocktails ($28 total) and a bottle of wine ($52), and then they had the nerve to charge us another $16 for an alcohol service fee. WHAT?!?! You can bet that they made plenty of markup on both the wine and the cocktails, but to charge us to serve it too...WTF?! I questioned the guy about the charge, and his answer was "I don't know, I just do what I'm told". As if that wasn't bad enough, he then put us on the spot and asked if we wanted to add a tip, and how much? What an annoying end to an otherwise fairly pleasant meal. All told, the tab was over three hundred bucks. Totally not worth it. While we were eating, we discussed the possibility of staying at Hope & Glory for a future visit to the area, but after getting nickled and dimed for a service fee, they're not getting any more money from us.

Ok, we ate outside because it was an incredibly beautiful day. The views were stunning. The weather was just grand. A bit sunny, but hey, we were outside. It was all exceptional (except the dog that was allowed to run loose and beg food). The waiter was spot on and we had a great time. We started off with a charcuterie board that was ginormous, varied and tasty. That started the wine bottle off just perfectly. We also shared a crabcake that was an awesome start. I had the scallop dinner. Scallops have a fine line between cooked too much and too little and this was knocked out of the park. As near to perfect as I've ever had.

It's beautiful during the daylight as they have nice water views. Food was great. We ordered crab cakes on coconut sauce for the appetizer. It was once of the best I have had. I am definitely going to try crab cakes with coconut ginger sauce again. For entrees, my husband has the beef tenderloin and I had the beef short rib with risotto. So delicious. Short rib was very tender and the risotto was very creamy and flavorful. For the dessert, we had peach crips with vanilla ice cream. Presentation and the taste was amazing. Overall, a great experience. The only reason I gave them a 4 star is because of the pricing.

Sandy was very responsive to emails and questions, and she was also first to contact me as the event got closer.William came by the venue to get a site plan and confirm logistics on the day before. We walked in to an elegant set up with everyone ready to serve us. You only noticed the staff carving the meat when you were at the buffet. Otherwise, they were discreet while ensuring that everything was available. With all that, I haven't mentioned the food. The food was incredible. We're a gluten free household, and they were able to accommodate that. In addition, my other son has additional sensitivities and was able to have questions immediately answered by the staff. There was plenty of food, and several guests returned for more. We had the beef roast and the chicken with scalloped potatoes and salad. We also had a fruit plate, amazing crab balls, and shrimp cocktail for appetizers. Desserts were the strawberries and chocolate sauce and fudge bars- which were my family's favorite. Lastly, the service and clean up was beyond impeccable. William and his staff ensured that we had very little to do in that way. We had used dishes that would be used the next day for the ceremony, and they discretely collected, cleaned and sanitized, and replaced them all for us. I would use Willaby's for any catering event- especially if they were local to us. It was affordable with delicious food and gave us service way beyond our expectations.

We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore.
