Given its appellation, it’s not surprising that this restaurant owned by a brother-sister-husband team puts an emphasis on fish. A wall of serene water separating the bar area from the wood dining tables, the wrought-iron ceiling fans operated by a belt system, and the framed prints of old Norfolk all add to the charm of the place. For starters, there are horseradish-encrusted Northern Neck oysters atop grilled rustic bread with sun-dried tomato, spinach and caper cream sauce; and pan-seared sea scallops served with harissa sauce, spaghetti squash and vanilla bean-ginger syrup. As for entrées, for those who are not interested in fish, there is filet mignon, jerk-rubbed rack of lamb, stuffed pork chops, rib-eye and grilled breast of chicken. And if you want to sip and nibble only, check out the bar menu. Desserts may well include a fruity cheesecake served with whipped cream.
