    Ordered the fritters, crab soup and filet Oscar. The fritters came out cold and we're mediocre. The crab soup was delicious. The steak Oscar came out cold. We asked for them to fix this. They took it back and reheated it. You don't reheat a $65 steak but this is how the manager handled this. The reheat made the steak more cooked and not to order, the mashed patatos were still cold that came with it. It was clear the manager didn't care about our dinner. After complaining, he discounted the steak down to $50. I had a better steak at Outback for 1/2 the price. They should have made this right by giving us a new steak cooked right but didn't. So our dinner was not good and was expensive and management this Sunday night didn't seem to care. We won't be coming back. They did say "thank you for letting us know" about the food quality, which was just like rubbing it in that they served us a bad dish and didn't care.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was incredible. I had the scallops with mushroom rossito and my boyfriend had the special of the day which was swordfish with rice and a special sauce with crab. Both were so good. Lots of flavor and perfectly seasoned. Our waiter Camden was the sweetest. I would definitely go back on my next visit to Williamsburg.

    Everything we ordered off the menu was top notch! We had the waypoint shrimp for an appetizer, their swordfish special and vegetable risotto for dinner and shared a cobbler for dessert. They didn't rush us, we just a delicious dinner together!

    Server was friendly but did not engage much or share specials or ask if we wanted to hear specials. Ordered the charcuterie board and it was less than desired with simple cheeses like cubes of Colby jack. Would have been nice to have higher quality curated cheeses and meat.
    Waypoint Seafood & GrillResponded on December 16, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations and appreciate your thoughts on service and the charcuterie board.

    Food: Overpriced mediocrity. Service: very good. ambiance: very loud and casual. Despite the excellent service, I would never eat here again. I ordered the rack of lamb and the portions were tiny & thin. I asked for medium rare and they were well done. I think the portions were so small that it was almost impossible for the chef to not to overcook them. I've ordered lamb many time in restaurants and cooked rack of lamb at home many times. The lamb served at Waypoint was a huge disappointment. My wife had crab stuffed flounder. It was all right, but at $50, it did not impress. The tables were also too close together. I felt like my the people next to us were listening to everything we say. I could overlook the crowded tables and the noise if the food was excellent, but it wasn't. Between the mediocre, overpriced food. the crowded tables, and the loud atmosphere, I would advice people to go elsewhere.
