Best Seafood Restaurants in Newport News

Exceptional food and service. Shrimp appetizer, Rockfish special and salmon were all delicious!

Lisa was a wonderful server keeping a good eye on our table to ensure we had everything we needed. She greeted us with our names making for a more personal experience. Our food was excellent. We left with a truly positive experience and will be back soon. Thank you .

We have come here several times for Christmas Dinner and have decided that it is now our holiday tradition. Outstanding service and delightful ambiance. We really enjoyed the harp player and the candlelight. The prix fixe menu had options for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. My husband had the angus beef and I had the barley risotto. The crab cake appetizer was the size of a dinner cake and paired perfectly with the squash hash bed upon which it was served. Dinner was so filling that we got our peppermint chocolate cake to go. The waitstaff is wonderful. Charming and well trained. We were not rushed at all and could savor the entire experience. Well worth the money!

I want to thank Saltine for coming to the rescue after my Christmas was almost ruined! My stepdad took us to another place because his hairdresser recommended it, but when we discovered that it was a buffet, we noped it out of there. So, my mom asked me to find another place, and I stumbled upon Saltine. When I told my mom about the prime rib dinner (good lord, it’s delicious), she and my stepdad agreed to go. Good thing we picked this place because as soon as we pulled up to the Hilton, we were impressed! Luckily, the wait wasn’t too long and we were seated right away. Though, I felt sorry for the lobsters in the tank. Anyway, we got seated in a pretty comfortable booth/chair area and we had Destiny as our server (she was awesome). My mother and I went with her recommendation of the Christmas dinner and the she crab soup! The prime rib came out ridiculously fast and right behind the soup! I didn’t have to ask how I wanted it cooked because it was as if the chefs read my mind and knew that I wanted it medium rare. The potato puree, root veggies, au jus, and horseradish sauce complemented the prime slice of ambrosia on my plate. Oh! And the plum toffee pudding! It’s probably the best I’ve ever tasted! All of it was house made, the toffee tasted just like Golden Grahams without the weird preservatives, and it was so good that it deserves its own paragraph on here. That and the darkening of the restaurant was the crescendo of the wonderful evening! It went perfectly with the elegant and chic Christmas decorations! Saltine saved my Christmas and I want to thank them for it! I hope to make their prime rib dinner into a new Christmas tradition. Thank you so much, Saltine! Lots of chef’s kisses!

Very pleasant dining experience with delicious food and a comfortable atmosphere. It was just a tiny bit crowded requiring adjustment of chairs as other diners walked by to take their tables. This is a great option for business dinners and parties.
