"Setting aside that awkward start, let’s discuss the dining experience itself. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and polite—traits the hostess could certainly learn from. The She Crab Soup had a mild flavor with just a hint of what tasted like horseradish. The Comeback Shrimp was crispy and enhanced by a delicious sweet chili dressing. The Northern Neck Style Crab Cake Sandwich featured an excellent crab cake, though the portion felt a bit small. The Conductor dish offered a wonderful balance of flavors, with the Applewood Bacon complementing the marinated chicken nicely. The Pecan Chicken was tender and coated in a crisp pecan crust. The spinach side was average, and the rustic mashed potatoes were a touch dry.
Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. The food was good, though there were some minor quirks. Some portions, like the Crab Cake Sandwich and Fish Chips, felt a bit small for the price, while others, like the Pecan Chicken and Shrimp Platter, were well-sized. The house-made tartar sauce was too thin, and it seemed the sandwiches had been sitting for a while before serving, as the bottom buns were soggy. However, the flavors were delightful, and the meats were cooked perfectly."
