    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.

    "What an incredible dining experience! From the mouthwatering beef tenderloin to the pink-coated chef who treated us like royalty at the carving station, every bite felt like a taste of perfection. Julia our server was an absolute gem, chatting away and making us feel right at home, she's extremely good at her job. And that themed cocktail with Gin and St. Germain? Oh, it was like sipping on sunshine! The view of the river from our window seat was simply breathtaking, and even the manager swung by to ensure our happiness. With over 20 years in the biz, I've gotta say, this was top-notch. Easter tradition? You betcha!"

    This was the Easter Buffet. Food was generally good especially the beef tenderloin and tuna. We didn’t partake of the breakfast foods except for the smoked salmon, which was enjoyable. Some of the dishes were dried out and congealed due to the extended time in chafing dishes - especially the shrimp and grits and mashed potatoes. We were seated at a small table in the rear of the banquet room on folding chairs. Ambiance was non-existent. All the tables with views were for large parties. Key lime pie was good. Servers were great. Bar service slow.

    Buffet was next door at Riverwalk Restaurant. Great location on the York River. Food was well prepared, and tasty. Service was very friendly, and attentive.

    Beautiful evening at WSG. It is a relaxed casual atmosphere on the York River. The staff are all excellent, stopping by the table often to ask if you need anything and if all is going well with the service and food. They do not rush you to order, we were allowed to order drinks and apps before feeling rushed to order dinner. The menu has something for everyone and the food is excellent

    We sat on the back porch, for the view of the river. Outdoor heaters kept us comfortable. Service was attentive. Food was well prepared. She Crab Soup was excellent with plenty of crab. The firecracker shrimp was good, but a little overcooked. Crab cake burger was very good, as were the Old Bay fries. I would eat here again.
