"The Lynnhaven Fish House is where we choose to spend our 30th anniversary. They seated us at the best table in the house and congratulated us on our marriage. I loved the she crab soup and they gave me the recipe. I thought their crab cakes were excellent, and my husband was well pleased with his meal too. I appreciate the offerings of smaller portion dinners, leaves room for the soup! As we were leaving the noise level was rising, so if you want romantic I would suggest go fairly early. View was wonderful."

"My dining experince at Lynnhaven Fish House was "FANTABULOUS" as well as wonderful. the
fish house met my every request as well as allowed me to have the best waiter one could
ask for. Gregg we thank you for your knowledge and your professional waiter skills. My
wife was truly pleased with your attention to her dining experience and the humble way
you gave of yourself in making our anniversary a very special event, again we thank you.
When we are in the Virginia Beach area again, we will stop by to spend time at your place
whether it's lunch on the pier or dinner at the center window. We thank your cooks, waitress and the fine dressed top man of the house for all they did to make it all happen. Also thank you Chris.The Johnsons4/14/13"

"The food was not great--I had fried shrimp and it was chewy and too heavily battered, the other two in my party had the nightly special which was broiled flounder topped with crabmeat and bearnaise sauce and both agreed it was very bland."

"Manager is less than friendly. We had reservations @ 5:00 and the couple ahead of us with no reservations was seated by the window which we had requested. We were then told we could wait for a window seat. No thanks. I know that window seating cannot be guaranteed but that was an insult. The waiter Pete was great! We will not go as often since our business was not appreciated. There are other good seafood restaurants."

"Although I recommend this restaurantr to friends often, I really only get a chance to dine at the Lynnhaven Fish House about 3 or 4 times a year. Most of the meal was great - always love those hushpuppies. I had the fried shrimp and crabcake combo and it was excellent. My husband and I looked forward to splitting a lobster tail - but when we got it it was so overcooked and rubbery that we couldn't eat it. Very disappointing - hope next time is better."

"Stopped here on a visit from California. The ocean views are beautiful. The decor is late 80s / early 90s. The staff pleasantly greeted us on arrival but once we were seated we were an afterthought. The wait staff only catered to the needs of the older crowd. We didn't get a refill on our beverage and were never checked on. The food was just ok. The calamari appetizer was great. The Mrs. ordered the rockfish and it came out dry. I ordered the scallops lynnhaven and it was decent."

"Our party of 4 arrived early and were greeted warmly by the staff, and the table was made ready and we were seated early by a hostess with a great personality. Our server was attentive and personable as were other staff. friendly. The she crab soup was good, though not as crab laden as normal, salads were good with fresh dressings and hot,fresh hushpuppies were brought at seating. The grecian rockfish was well prepared, a little bland but very good, grilled rock was outstanding and broiled scallops were very good though a little mushy, more like a sauteed dish. It was our normal very good experience and we look forward to our next visit."

"we've been coming to Lynnhaven for over 10 years - consistently very good, service very attentive, and the view is unimpeded of the entry into the Chesapeake Bay. Seafood is the best here - served fresh, with a veritable selection of how it can be cooked and served. of course, the hush puppies are the best!!!!"
