This restaurant is in a nice scenic location on the marina with an open-air view of it. The breeze through the restaurant is very comfortable. I had the fish sandwich and it was completely awesome. We will definitely go back to Virginia's again. more

I, my husband, and our 3 year old son went to Virginia's On the Bay to enjoy what we hoped would be a nice shrimp dinner. The portions were ridiculously tiny for the amount we paid...what grown man would be expected to be served 4 butterflied medium sized shrimp and be full?! The total bill for 3 meals (one of... more

We had a group of 15, there was an hour wait so we decided to go up-stairs to have a couple of drinks before supper. There were no waiters to be found (@ 18:30), so we went to the bar to order for ourselves. The 2 bar tenders ignored us while while they waited on about 10 locals that came... more

I've been to this place twice in the past three years (because I've been to Port A twice in three years) and the first time I ordered an oyster platter. Which was good, but expensive. So this last time I decided to go again. This time I wanted to try some fish so I ordered the seafood platter which came... more

I have visited Virginia's 3 times. It is by far the nicest place to enjoy the beautiful ocean and the traveling by of some of the nicest boats Ive ever seen. I have only visited for cocktails and appetizers, but they were delicious. The drinks were also good and the people I've met there have been friendly and courteous. more

We have been to Virginia's on the Bay a few times. The food has always been just fair and overpriced but we enjoyed the view at sunset. Last evening we went (for the last time). I always ask for the area where I want to be seated and make it clear that I don't mind waiting. It's the reason I... more

My family spent a few days in Port A this past week. As we were leaving to return home we decided to stop in for lunch at Virginia's. Arriving at 1:30 pm we were treated to the wait staff arguing over who's table we were seated at. Once this was resolved my wife and I each ordered the catch of... more

Food OK, but way overpriced. Kids meals expensive. Waiter seemed disappointed when we shared an entree. We started to leave when we discovered we did not have our credit card. When we asked the waiter about our credit card, he made us wait unnecessarily, then finally pulled it out of his pocket. Later, we discovered the tip amount had been... more

After a 30 minute wait, we (my wife, daughter and I) were seated. Once seated, we again waited over 10 minutes before our server even acknowledged us. For an appetizer, we ordered the calamari, which was actually very tasty - crisp, tender, and plank-style...good start. For our entrees, we ordered the prime rib, the fried seafood sampler, a cup of... more
