    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.

    This place satisfies all your sweet cravings. The amount of cakes, bars, cookies, pies, and savory…read morebreads that are offered here will bring joy to your taste buds, and belly!! In moderation of course ;) It is literally a cornucopia of thanksgiving desserts. The hubs and I are not in Smithfield often, as it's close to an hour drive from where we are. We found this place when visiting an annual fall vintage antique market where they had a booth. Yes..... I had to control my eyes and stomach. Eating with your eyes is a thing! My better half decided on the lemon blueberry loaf, and I on the hummingbird slice of cake. It's a banana pecan cake with cream cheese frosting. Soo the result was...... it was both slightly dry not as moist. The blueberries in the lemon loaf all sank to the bottom. As for the loaf it was mid soft to hard to swallow. The lemon frosting on top was very good. The hummingbird slice had a nice amount of pecans with the taste of banana, but I also experienced the cake to be dry, even with the recommendation of eating it at room temperature. It was refrigerated, so cold air tends to draw out moisture and dehydrate the cake. They have display cakes, so you do have to ask them for slices, which they will retrieve from the fridge. Overall, it was still good and we would be back to try their cookies and bars! I believe they have some savory focaccia!!!!

    First time stopping in and won't be my last!…read more Very friendly service and a great set-up. The cake slices and a few other foodies you can grab and go which is nice. Then you can take it up the counter to be cashed out. There is no place to eat inside. Now food wise they have so many amazing items! From sweets like cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pastries and so much more to savory items like bread and spreads and even more. My husband and I grabbed a slice of the hummingbird cake and it was such a treat! Great flavor! Can't wait to try more of their items because I am side if it is like the cake they will be good!

    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.

    This is a really great restaurant! The service was excellent! I had the gluten-free French…read moretoast...delicious! I got the platter so it came with bacon and eggs. My husband had the gluten-free pancakes and he really enjoyed them. He also got their grilled pork chops which he liked. Their coffee is amazing, strong and hot! We shared the pecan Dijon salad. It was okay. We got a side of fries...hot and just the right amount fit salt. It's a very popular spot as we had to wait a little to be seated. But it is truly worth the wait! We will definitely be back!!
