The food was excellent. Crab queso with pita. Clams Provencale. Grilled Rockfish over red potato salad with sliced heirloom tomatoes and topped with a fried softshell crab. The service was well done and well timed. The view of the York River was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place to friends.

Took one of our friends out for lunch for her birthday on a Wednesday afternoon, and have to say that we were very disappointed. The food in general lacked flavor-my crab cake was especially bland and neither of my friends were impressed with their fish. The prices were high for lunch and the service painfully slow. New management needs to... More

We arrived a little after 1. The hostess was actively discouraging customers with 45 min. wait times for outside, 20 min. inside. We decide to stay because it was highly recommended by a good friend. 20+ customers took their business elsewhere. We were seated and had to wait an additional 20 min. while the wait staff argued as to who... More

First time here and we came for lunch. There is plenty of seating both inside and out. We chose to eat inside. Every table has a great view of the York River. Our server was delightful and very attentive. I had the "Hot Brown" which was delicious. My wife tried the fish and chips and found the fish rather tasteless.... More

My wife and I had lunch at this establishment on 5/30/13. We had been there in the past and liked it but this time our food was over the top. Since it was lunch we were looking for a little sandwich or something but when I saw the "Waterman's Pot Pie",I had to give it a try. And it turned... More

I have to say, after hearing some of the raves about the old Nick's Seafood Pavilion, and reading some mixed reviews about the Riverwalk Restaurant, it was with some trepidation that my BF and I accepted an invite to join another couple (friends of mine-living overseas) for dinner at the Riverwalk last night (5/29/13). Especially having to drive the hour... More

Nothing special. Over cooked steak, constant waits for drink refills and food. Don't bother the "special order" cobbler; it's served cold and takes forever. Luckily the waitress took my wine glass and never offered me another over priced glass of wine. She did say that the kitchen was busy which must have been the reason we couldn't get bread, tea...

The River Walk is a terrible place to eat if you're trying to eat healthy. On the menu, the entrees appear not to have any vegetables. We ordered three entrees, and two came as described (no vegetables), but mine came with vegetables. Had I known about them, I wouldn't have ordered a salad. Now about that salad: they have a... More

Had a wonderful lunch here overlooking the York River. A little upscale, might not be good for families with small children. Just something to think about. Service was ok but they were very busy. Food well worth the wait. Allow time to stroll along the river and see the sailing ships.
