Brought my wife and two boys to Cape Charles for the second time this summer. Love this place and the food is awesome. Gabby was our server and a very pleasant gal. Glad we met her and look forward to coming back from Christmas!!!

Great experience!

What a terrific find! From the first friendly greeting to our knowledgeable waiter Mike to the divine food (I highly recommend the crab lollipops and Thai shrimp) our experience was highly enjoyable. The sunset view of the Chesapeake Bay just added to a fabulous night!

Beautiful views of the Chesapeake Bay

We did not stay here. We came to celebrate our 52nd. wedding anniversary at their newly appointed restaurant. We enjoyed "pre-dinner" cocktails and beer at their newly opened oyster bar with host "Walt". Tried several varieties of raw oysters and settled on a dozen delicious Eastern Shore steamed clams. We then moved outside and enjo... read more

First, I understand the place is called the Oyster Farm, but we did not have any so I cant comment about the Oysters, but how bad could they be? I am sure they are excellent, and they claim to harvest them right there. We live on the beach about a mile down and the Oysters on the Bay side are delicious. We had a large party and a var... read more

We are Virginia Beach residents who routinely slide up to CC(Cape Charles) and have stayed at almost all of the places over the years! Until we found Oyster Farm! Places to stay at this time of the year are a rare commodity! But on a whim I tried and found they had their Suite 101(one of four I believe)! Wow were we amazed! Not plush... read more

Loved this place when it was Aqua and had many great meals here. My salad was was ok, but a little soggy and my cocktail had a small amount of mint that was turning brown and 2 tiny pieces of lime. I had previously had the best Mojito ever here, so that was disappointing. My husband's salmon was good and cooked well. The location is... read more

This Marina is awesome. The docs are spacious, the setting serene and the staff helpful. The town is only a mile or so away and has quaint shops. You can rent bicycles or golf carts to get there. I have not seen a better pier system on the bay...it literally is 100% teak and beautiful. We will be back ...guaranteed. ... read more

Called to get reservations for 4 at 6 o'clock tomorrow and this is what I was told... " I'm sorry we can't take anymore reservations because we want to save room for walk-ins!! I guess we locals need to go across the Bay. The food here is great, but so disappointed in this response.

Simply wonderful

You must visit this gem. Had a very late lunch overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Superb views and wonderful service. It would be a crime not to try the oysters. Lunch menu is simple: salads, soups and sandwiches; but they're fresh and quickly served, at a great price. Great decor, limited draft beer but a huge bar. Dinner menu looks gr... read more

Stopped by here while vacationing in the area. We originally called to make reservations for a large group, but were told to just walk in if we didn't mind sitting near each other. We did such, and they ended up splitting us in between 2 long tables and the bar. I had a 1 year old, so clearly I would not have been able to sit at the ... read more

Beautiful waterfront location! Delicious, flavorful food! Nice presentation! Cooked as requested. Friendly, attentive service. A little on the pricey side, but worth it. I'd go back for sure. Interesting dish options.

This is more of a 3.5 star rating, mostly for environment and atmosphere. A few friends and I were on a roadtrip and were really craving some oysters, as we had just passed the Chesapeake Bay area. I spotted two huge billboard signs pointing to "oyster farm", and as we had been driving for a while through empty land, decided that it ... read more

Great find on the bayside. Oysters on the half shell were fresh. We ordered 1/2 bayside and 1/2 Oceanside oysters; the bayside were our favorite. The highlight of our lunch was the Thai fried shrimp, upon the recommendation of our waitress. YUM!! While the title of the appetizer said "fried", the shrimp were more stir fried.

Sunday Lunch

We have been to this restaurant many times, formerly known as Aqua. Upon first glance at the menu I was immediately disappointed to find that there were no entrees. Only soups, salads, and sandwiches. Especially for Sunday lunch we had hoped for something more than typical lunch fare. Some changes have been made on the inside, one th... read more

Fantastic food! Amazing burger was combo of 3 fresh ground meats...delicious! The oyster bar was excellent ...clean fresh and plump. We were thrilled with everything including our server Jen and the bartender Will and back bar Lauren. Everyone was bend-over-backwards helpful and super friendly. We will be back!

My family and I had fond memories of this restaurant when it was known as Aqua, so we were crestfallen when we heard it was being rebranded as Oyster Farm. But we had nothing to fear. The chef is the same and our favorite dishes are still on the menu. The crab cakes and the salmon were as amazing as ever, and the oysters were good. T... read more

Had an excellent experience. I was driving around and I just found the place. The oysters were fresh and magnificent. For the main course... I had their special; the Chesapeake Bay Stew. Simply, it was delicious. Lastly, the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this place.

Superior food, service and view!

Our son and daughter-in-law took us to The Oyster Farm based on their prior experience for lunch there. The view of the Chesapeake Bay is amazing, the service was equal to the food and wine--Superior! At the end of our meal I mentioned to our server that it would be great to meet the Chef and say thank you for... More... read more

Surprised

I was on the Eastern Shore on business. The restaurant has a wonderful and relaxing view. When traveling in this part of Virginia, you would do well to consider a stop here. I understand that the Oyster Farm also rents suites and villas. Both the wine and drink menus were high-quality.

We had our wedding reception at Aqua; the location was so beautiful that everyone was stunned!
