First time at the Waterman’s Surfside Grill located at 415 Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach. Pulled into the parking lot and was greeted by a valet who handed me the ticket for collecting our car. Walked inside and was immediately greeted and seated. We wanted to set in the covered outside seating so we could watch the surf coming in. Ordered a Filet Oscar and the Ultimate Just Seafood. Food came out within 10 minutes. Everything was hot, fresh and pleasing to the eye. The taste was very good. Had a good dining experience and come on in if you’re hungry for some fresh seafood while in the area. Thank you.

Beautiful location, great service and food. Drinks came out fast which is always appreciated. She crab soup, fried shrimp, calamari and lobster pasta dish were all delicious. It was crowded on a Saturday night but the service was speedy. Valet service available. Oceanfront

This is my go to spot whenever I come back home to Virginia. The vibes are always lovely and the food is really good. My server Kate was absolutely amazing. Attentive, kind with a beautiful upbeat personality. Waterman’s is an excellent choice for dinner or lunch! You definitely should check it out!

AMAZING! Sorry, guys, I only gave you five stars because it wouldn't let me put ten stars... I don't even know where to start honestly.What an amazing place, amazing food and amazing atmosphere. Waitresses are very knowledgeable. Staff is very friendly and very quick. Seated immediately got our food within fifteen minutes of ordering, and from what we observed just about everybody else was on the same fifteen minutes from sitting down to getting their food. (Off Season) It would be very easy to go to $50 a person, but we only spent about $30 a person. I'll tell you I don't even like seafood in general. But the She Crab Soup was to die for!!!! They made a permanent fan, and every time we come to the beach we will be going there at least one of the seven days for dinner or lunch it won't ma

⭐⭐½ to ⭐⭐⭐—Waterman’s Surfside Grille Overall, I’d place Waterman’s Surfside Grille in the 2.5 to 3-star range, depending on expectations. The Good: Let’s start with the positives. Our server was top-notch—attentive, personable, and clearly enjoyed what he was doing. Drinks stayed full, questions were answered without hesitation, and check-ins were frequent but never overbearing. That level of service really stood out. He made us laugh and we enjoyed our encounters with him. The host team at the front door was friendly and professional. Nothing extraordinary, but they were organized and had things under control. The atmosphere was eclectic and kind of neat. The place was very busy, which is usually a good sign and definitely added to the energy. The Food (Where It Gets Mixed): We s
