"My wife and I hosted a luncheon several weeks ago for two good friends and when we contemplated where to go on a "date night" recently, our memories of that luncheon stirred us to make another reservation and we were delighted with the results. Kudos to Mario and his wonderful staff for another memorable evening."

"My husband and I have frequenting this restaurant for years. I believe recently the owners have changed which included a change in the menu. They took my favorite off the menu which I could live wih but the food quality has gone downhill and the prices have gone up. For the last three times I have been, there has been something wrong with the food. It has been undercooked, not cooked at all, or not prepared the right way. I hate to say it but after dinner with a friend there on Thursday night, I told my husband I do not want to return to this restaurant. It's too expensive for the lack of quality you receive."

"We found this restaurant on the spur of the moment when we were in Gloucester, VA. We were all dressed up after attending an afternoon wedding and wanted to go out for a romantic dinner date. Not being from the area we searched Opentable and found this gem. We were seated quickly and the view was beautiful. Server was friendly and helpful in choosing our entrees. Our meals did take longer than normal (not sure why) but our server kept us informed and when it arrived it was delicious. We had a great time and would reccomend this hidden gem to others."

"The salads were good, but the appetizer - crab, cheddar, pesto dip - was bland and couldn't tell whether it really had crab in it. The entrees - mahi mahi and chicken oscar - were likewise bland and uninspiring. Expect something better for price we paid for the meal. Wait staff was outstanding."

"We had dinner on a Wednesday evening and throughly enjoyed it. Food was superb. We had read previous reviews concerning service, food, etc., and can only conclude that poor reviews must have been during busy weekends. The wait staff was extremely helpful and the food was as good as we used to get at Nick's years ago. We ordered the cobbler when we ordered the main course as was suggested by other reviews and by the server. It is was great and more than enough to share. The four of us were the last ones out at 10:00 - an hour after closing only because we were have such a great time enjoying the food and outdoors. We will come back when we are again in the area."

"I was so excited when my sister suggested to take me to the Riverwalk Restaurant for my birthday. However, it was short lived. The waitress suggested an omelet from the brunch menu. It was awful. It had no cheese, the egg was overcooked, the cook threw barely cooked bacon in the middle of it. A whopping one slice. The hashbrowns had to have been left over from the day before because the potatoes tasted mushy and old. Also, let me add cold.
.
I think it is important to have some type of quality control. A kitchen supervisor should inspect dishes when they leave the kitchen because what we were served should have never left the kitchen.
The waitress seemed overwhelmed because she had to wait on tables on the inside and outside."

"My husband and I selected Riverwalk for our anniversary because of the beautiful view. Our experience was very poor. My husband's steak was overcooked. We were unable to get refills on bread or tea. My husband was unable to get a glass of wine. We ordered the "special" cobbler dessert and after waiting 1/2 hour to get it, it was so cold that the ice cream did not even begin to melt. My husband posted a negative comment on the restaurant's Facebook page after our experience and they responded asking him to call them. When he called (twice) he was put on hold for over 10 minutes and never spoke to the manager. It is obvious that the restaurant is very poorly managed and I would not recommend it."

"Last week my wife and I made our first trip to Riverwalk in Yorktown for dinner. It was a perfect evening. On the way home we deteremined that we has just enjoyed one of the most delightful dining experiences of our married lives. We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at Riverwalk and we were treated to lovely views of the George Washington Memorial bridge over the York River through a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a tastefully decorated dining room allowing ample space between tables, an experienced and friendly waitstaff, and, most valuably, perfectly prepared and presented seafood offerings. This restaurant is now our favorite for special occsions, such as our 33 1/3 anniversary coming up soon."

"We were visiting so we've only been here once. The food was very good and the setting quite nice. Since it was late May, it was a warm enough to eat on their patio area opverlooking the river. Lovely except that the local bridge is quite close so traffic noise detracts from what is otherwise a perfect setting.
The service was outstanding and the food was very good. I would highly recommend especially to someone who has been eating at the kitschy restaurants around Colonial Williamsburg."

"I went to this restaurant for the first time because we wanted a scenic view and the menu looked yummi. Got there and they said that for the first time ever they had a buffet on mother's day instead of ordering from the menu. Food options were terrible, fruit was hard; and the price was SUPER expensive for a bad buffet. I was prepared to pay about $30 per person, but for GOOD food! The scenic view was amazing, so I just focused on that."

"We had a splendid evening at our dinner with a grad school classmate of decades ago and his wife. The walk along the waterfront before dinner was nice. The staff - hostess and server (Courtney) - were cordial and competent; staff was tolerant of late arrival of our dinner partners, arrival later of their son, and of his staying for dinner at our table for four. Then we stayed until we were almost last to leave. Throughout we were made to feel they were glad we were there and happy to accommodate us in whatever was our pleasure. I think we were congenial customers, but we did place demands on the service that went above the usual. A foodie likely would not have raved about the food, but we certainly enjoyed it. Great experience overall."

"I visited the Riverwalk Restaurant a bit over a year ago while it was under the previous management and the food was awesome. On our recent visit we were not impressed with the food at all but the service was good.
I ordered the Cioppino and it tasted as if it was prepared with canned tomatoes and the few mussels in the dish were tiny. It seemed to be missing a lot of ingredients which the chef attempted to compensate for by adding rice.
The poached salmon was ok - the salmon was cooked well but it didn't seem to be tied in to the rest of the dish well.
The fruit crepes were ok at best. The fruit was good but the crepes were very dry.
Bottom line - The Riverwalk charges premium prices for sub-premium food."

"Very nice layout and truly scenic as it sits on the river. Was not very crowded fro a Saturday night, but its not tourist season so that was not a shock. Pricing for food does not seem on par with the location or casual dining setting. Without a large drink order (no wine), our 4-man tab was still $400, so be prepared to fork out some cash.
The food was 'ok' not great. I didn't dislike any of it but I wasn't wowed by it. I like to think that all restaurants rotate chef's throughout the week and ensure their best are on weekends when crowds are largest. Maybe he/she was having a bad day.
You can dress casual (jeans, etc), but you'll feel better based on the prices if you dress 'up.'"

"The price was a bit steep, but the food was really good.. The portions were small, but the dishes were filling. The server was really nice, and made sure we were taken care of. I am not fond of waiting staff that are constantly asking questions. Ours left us alone to enjoy our meal, but made sure the drinks were refilled and nothing was needed. The menu is very original and not too overwhelming. Overall a great night of dinning."

"So nice we wanted to come back for Mother's day but unfortunately they were all booked since early April :(.
We discovered the restaurant six years ago when our daughter decided to attend the College of William and Mary. Having kids in any of the local colleges makes eating there a real treat when visiting them."

"Beautiful view of the York River and bridge---both from inside the restaurant and outside on the patio. The food was excellent and the service quick and thoughtful. The noise level became a little loud when a child became excited but after a very short outburst, the noise went back to a comfortable murmur. All in all the experience was warm & romantic and we will definitely return."

"What a wonderful place to celebrate Easter with our family. The Restaurant was a great mid-way spot for my daughter at ODU in Norfolk and we living in Richmond.The view was fabulous of the York River and the Rt 17 Bridge and the whole ambiance of the building and area. My daughter has a gluten intolerance and they were more that willing to find exactly the right meal for her. She had a modified Blue Plate and they fixed everything with no breading, fresh crab meat, shrimp cocktail and oysters on half shell. She was very happy. Not one person at our table had a single complaint about their food. We had grouper, fried shrimp, lobster ravioli,crab cakes, crab imperial, sauteed shrimp,and She Crab soup. Everything about our visit was top notch."

"Love coming to your restaurant. The food is always excellent and service is wonderful.
Booked a rehearsal dinner a few years ago...and the service then was outstanding as well...still get comments from people saying what a wonderful time they had and how good the food was.
Your restaurant is always our first pick to go to whenever we are celebrating a special occasion!!!

"We were there for lunch on Easter. The location is wonderful - right on the Chesapeake Bay. Plenty of parking just across from the entrance. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the bar area is large. Both the dining room and bar area have large windows looking out to the bay. On Easter there was live saxophone music. It took a very long time to be served, but given the ambiance and the fact we were catching up with our two college sons, we didn't mind. But when the meals came they were lukewarm and all four of us were disappointed in the quality of the food. It's too bad because the restaurant & setting were so lovely we really wanted to like the food as well."

"This was our second visit to the Riverwalk Restaurant, we were not disappointed. We enjoyed our meal so much when we were there last year and hoped to go there again. Although the menu has changed, we both enjoyed our dinner, and will certainly eat there again. The seafood is tastefully seasoned without overload, fresh, tender, delicious, and serve with a nice visual flare."

"Riverwalk is a great place for special occasions. We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary without a hitch. I went online to check out the menu, so I did not have any surprises. It is a little pricey for casual dining, so we usually only go to Riverwalk for something special. It's got a great view of the river and the food was cooked to perfection. This experience met all of our expectations."

"Not sure it's fair to rate our experience because Riverwalk is so new. Actually, we really hope they figure this out and become a great Yorktown restaurant. We ordered soup and oysters as an appetizer. Unfortunately our dinner came before the appetizer. They took the dinner back and I asked specifically that they not putt our dinner under a warmer, but to prepare a fresh meal......didn't happen. We were served the original meal that had been put under a warmer.....
I hope that things improve! Yorktown needs it!
