Restaurants near Smithfield Station Marina

I was on a solo retreat and wanted to indulge! I ordered the appetizer ham platter. Very tasty. Then I had the prime rib, cooked perfectly! It came with a soup or salad and dessert. I had the salad with pecans and apples. Delicious! I savored every course, but didn’t over indulge in any one thing. Dessert was the “snow eggs”. Honestly, it was absolutely delicious, with cinnamon and meringue over custard and not too sweet. However, mentally, I couldn’t get pass the name and how it was two plops of whipped egg whites over a very thin, runny custard. I’m glad I tried it…would have eaten more if it had not been for the visual snafu. I took all leftovers back to my hotel and had a late night snack since I ate dinner at 5pm. I want to send a special thanks to the anonymous, kind person who surprised me and picked up my check. I’m sure they didn’t know I had ordered a $105 tasting “experience”. It really made my night. I took the retreat to reset myself for holidays after losing 2 close relatives this year. It’s nice to know there are still good people in this world. My husband is going to feel like he missed out (and he did!), but he understood. Now, the downside of the entire experience was the parking. I didn’t see anything on Open table about parking. The lot is on a back street and not clearly marked. It is a walk for someone who needs two knee replacements. I had to walk down a dark street & alley, only to find two handicapped spaces immediately behind the tavern. How would anyone know that? Be sure to know details about parking before you go to avoid missing your reservation. I ended up calling the restaurant phone number which is the main Col. Wmsbg. number. The operator stayed on the phone and helped me to find the lot. The issue is that the restaurant is IN the historic are where no cars are allowed. As a grandparent of a 1 year old. I agree that it’s not the place for babies. You could really ruin someone’s special night.

We ate in the bar which is a little less formal than the main. Dining room. Service was great and food was excellent. I try and visit once a week. Bring some friends. Be sure to make a reservation on open table
