    Our waitress, Maya, was amazing. I think she had all the tables in our area and was always attentive. She was able to reseat us when our original table was too small. The food was great and always love the view of the Coleman Bridge and York River at sunset .

    Nice waiter is the only thing positive I can say. Lukewarm food. 40 minutes for drinks. Got oysters appetizer after we wrapped up our meals. Slow slow slow. I cancelled my second beer because I finished my meal before it arrived. Wish we went elsewhere, anywhere. Wife got sick, knocking my 2 star rating to 1 star.

    Unfortunately, we didn’t dine with Water Street Grill after all. We reserved through Open Table, and that was fine. However, when I called to ask if we could add our 7 year old grandson, because our babysitter fell through, we were told they could accommodate us in an outside heated tent, the manager added that it was comfortable. I said fine, but when we got there, all the tables positioned in the center of the tent, directly under the heaters above, were filled, and we were seated off to the side of the tent where there were no heaters. It was drafty and cold. So, we went back inside and told the manager we were leaving because it would be miserable to sit and try and enjoy a dinner in the cold draft. I’m sure he was overwhelmed with it being Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t think to ask, but he could have suggested a 3rd chair at our already reserved table. Instead, he told us the tent was heated and comfortable. No, it wasn’t heated and comfortable on the sides of the tent where they wanted to put us. Lesson learned. Lol. However, it was a disappointment. There are so many good places to dine in the local areas, we won’t be back.

    This restaurant needs a refresh. A coat of paint and new furniture would do wonders.

    Very nice Christmas Eve lunch in this bar/restaurant on Yorktown’s “modern” water front. Appetizer was great, entrees were good and the dessert was spectacular. Nice views and extremely friendly service. Visit the book/antique shop across the street for fun nostalgia.

    The restaurant didn’t look as nice on the inside as the outside. The waitress was great. The food was ok.

    Great food and service and the outdoor seating was nice. Busy atmosphere until after 7pm but then quieted down. Food selection is good and craft beer menu changes often but has solid choices.
