   Absolutely excellent food. We had the crab & shrimp fritters appetizer, fish & chips, and sea scallops.

   Went to Waypoint for my wife’s birthday dinner…and it was great! Our server (Kate) was great and I hope for her again the next time we visit! Food was great too…my wife’s preferred birthday meal is scallops and she was very satisfied! We will definitely be going back and hope for Kate as our server again!

   Wait staff is wonderful. The oysters appetizer was disappointing as they were small and overly breaded. The lightly fried shrimp were good. Fried oysters Caesar salad combination was a mixed result: the fried oysters were great but the romaine lettuce was lacking in freshness. Ambience is great as the restaurant is beautifully appointed and quiet.

   Our server Rebecca was personable and gave us a full run down of the multiple specials for the evening. She never made us feel rushed. The martinis were prepared perfectly and the food was delicious! The creamy carrot ginger soup was “to die for” but the chef wouldn’t share the recipe.😂

   I have tried Waypoint a few times now, and it is consistently underwhelming. On the most recent visit we were seated more than fifteen minutes after our reservation time, and it was another twenty minutes before drinks arrived from the bar. Entrees for three people arrived more than an hour after we arrived at the restaurant, and getting the bill settled took us past the two hour mark. For two beverages and a one course meal, this is no good, even if they were "slammed," as we repeatedly heard. Spending all of that time in a boxy annex/event space room that looked like something in a chain hotel would have been okay if the food and service had been better. The seafood bucatini was swimming in a thin sauce that tasted good, but never had a chance to cling to the pasta. The steakhouse salad was a disappointment. After getting rare instead of medium rare food once again, it's clear that you need to order one degree of doneness more than you want, and the chef will compensate in the other direction accordingly. The salad also came with inedible chunks of pink tomatoes that had been roasted along with onions to within an inch of their recognizable form. Surely a chef would know of better options than trying to fool people with out of season produce. And for the prices they charge at Waypoint, we deserve a little better. I did hear a good report about the fish and chips. All in all, there are better options in Williamsburg for seafood, and ambience, and service. Stick to lunch at Waypoint.

   We were very disappointed in our experience! The service was extremely slow! It took an hour and a half to get our food and the only part we enjoyed were the charcuterie board as an appetizer. I asked for a glass of wine that took almost 30 minutes to get which they brought after we had paid the check and were leaving!

   Food is great! Servers vary, but are all very competent. Drinks from the bar is also very good.
