CROAKER'S SPOT RESTAURANTS REVIEWS

We stopped in here to dine after coming down from NoVa to attend service at a church in RVA. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server was good. The food though! It was great and the portions are plentiful to share and have leftovers! The dessert options make it hard to choose just one even though you have absolutely no room left for them, lol.

I knew the food was going to be banging when I sipped the sweet tea. Everything was great -shrimp, mac & cheese, cornbread, shrimp & grits. This NC gal will be back...and I'm bringing family and lfriends with me.

Very down south, at home atmosphere. The music selection is top tier and the food is very generously portioned and super delicious. We visit everytime we're in the Richmond area.

THE BOATHOUSE AT ROCKETTS LANDING REVIEWS

My husband and I are visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was really nice and our hostesses were very accommodating with our reservation. We had the delight of having Emma as our waitress and she was a doll. She was very accommodating. we were inside during happy hour, and I asked her if we could move our table outside, even though it was a little chilly and she made it a smooth transition, and we kept her as our waitress out there because she was so sweet and kind. The food was really good as well and everything was delicious. Would definitely go back.

My husband and I came here for our 5th year anniversary and we couldn’t have gone to a better place. We travelled a little over an hour to eat here and as soon as we walked in we felt welcomed. The hostess was very nice and took us to the best seat in the house, a corner booth overlooking the river. As soon as our waiter came to greet us he knew it was our anniversary (my sister in law called beforehand to tell them). The drinks were divine and the food was even better! We got some oysters, scallops, shrimp, crab cakes, salmon and it was all delicious! Great service, food & experience! We will definitely be recommending this restaurant and our waiter, Sam. Thank y’all for making us have a wonderful anniversary dinner.

We hosted a Graduation party for my daughter in the Crows Nest at Sunday Park. It was perfect! The food, the view, the service….everything exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend.

RAPPAHANNOCK RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I had a nice time at Rappahannock The ceviche was absolutely delicious—fresh and full of flavor. The gumbo was tasty but a bit small in portion size. The restaurant has a family-friendly atmosphere with a lot of kids, making it a lively and casual place to dine. Overall, a nice spot for fresh seafood and a relaxed meal.

Enjoyed this restaurant! Lily was our server and she was pleasant and attentive! We had a cosmo and a gin gimlet! Excellent! The oysters were cold and the sauces complemented it. We ordered a delicious rib eye cooked perfectly served with roasted sunchoke ! Highly recommend.

Well, where to start. Oysters, amazing, mignonette house made and amazing wh8ch accompanied the oysters and a cocktail sauce with a blend of old bay mixed in. I had an amazing oyster shooter with a twist, it's a must have, Whiskey Sour, amazing and then, I had the whole wood grilled fish which was spectacular. I never leave a review, this is my first and I will be back to this restaurant again!!! One more thing, thr bartenders, oyster shucker and the entire staff, were amazing. GREAT JOB.
