The combo of the calamari and marinara was solid and I would have it again.īut the crab cake is the star of this show. The flavor was good and the texture was very good, but the marinara was just about perfect - rich and hearty. The calamari was good, lightly fried (which is fine), and the batter did not stick well (though that is not such a bad thing). The she crab was just excellent - the great flavor that makes you want more all the time, but with more crab in it than any other I have ever had. I tried the usuals today - she crab soup, calamari with marinara, and a crab cake (the sandwich selection without the bread). She took the time to discuss how the food was prepared, and everything came out quickly, which should be the standard for lunch given that many of the folks are on a schedule. usual, I was there by myself and ate at the bar, and the bartender's service was perfect. I often work in the marina and just noticed that the restaurant is open, whereas many others are closed after the summer crowd departs.

MoreĪs a long-time traveler, restaurant goer, and seafood lover, I truly enjoyed my three-course lunch today. It can be perceived that Surf Rider, Hampton, Restaurant has a white-only dining area and people of color dine in the back area. The Management and Staff needs to pay attention as to how they handle their patrons, both consciously and subconsciously. We don’t know if it was intentional or not, however, this type of segregation is definitely perceived as racism. These patrons were also African American like us. Just before we received our bill, our hostess escorted four new patrons pass numerous empty tables and booths and seated them directly behind us. What was noticeable is that they were all Caucasian. As I walked through the front of the restaurant, I noticed that the new diners consisted of one single individual, six couples, and one family seated for a meal. We noticed that none of the new patrons were directed into the area we were seated. During this time, several new patrons arrived in the restaurant.

We ordered our meals and began to enjoy our dinner. Our hostess escorted us pass many empty tables and booths to the back dining area. One couple seated in the front of the restaurant and another on the outside deck. When we arrived, there were two couples seated in the place. never thought would happen at this restaurant or in this day/time. But today, we experienced something that we. The food is always well- prepared and delicious.

We have been patrons at this Surf Rider Restaurant for over thirty years. My wife and I arrived at Surf Rider, Hampton, Virginia, Restaurant, about 4:15 on 27 October 2022.
