In fairness, there may be some realities of availability that affected our experience. We arrived and were greated pleasantly by the folks we believe to be the owners/managers. They did ask if we'd been there since their renovations...we had not. Physically, the new decor is...attractive, and a bit more open than before, to our senses anyway. We were seated quickly and our waiter appeared promptly.
The first hint of anything different in the food was the menu itself. Skimpy to say the least. Our favorite appitizer--the hot crab dip, which we thought was a signature dish--was missing. We opted for the calamari, and it was OK, but we thought a bit skimpy, even for the price (which we do understand).
Our entrees were good, well-stuffed jumbo shrimp, reasonably portioned, the risotto was superb, but the glazed carrots were, at best, inconsistently cooked. A few were OK, a few soggy on the outside and nearly raw inside, a few were cold through and through. The meals were deivered without any cocktail or tartar sauces, for which we had to ask. The young lady who delivered the food, didn't know if they had any tartar sauce! They did, but it was devoid of flavor.
We called it a night without dessert, not wanting another disappointment.
We'll give it another try when we get to VA Beach again, maybe this fall. Maybe the issues will be repaired by then. I hope so; it has been a favorite for many years now.
A side comment: We did notice that there were more choices for beer, wine, etc., than the food. I hope this is not a change in focus at what had been an excellent place to have a good seafood meal for a decent price.More
