I had high hopes for this place - thought it would be similar to Bonefish. We arrived right at 7 and were seated right away. I liked the place because it seemed less touristy and more "local". The ventilation system must be poor, because the restaurant smelled strong. We ordered the Chilean Sea Bass ($22 + $3 for salad) and...

We had a great dinner. The wings were great. I loved the mixed vegetables. It was too bad we were full from dinner because we would have liked to try the desserts.

We had a hard time finding this restaurant from the Google directions (maybe Mapquest it instead). It is in the outlet mall near the Food Lion. Once you are there, though, the food is very good and reasonably priced. Good beer menu and good kid's menu. We will be back!

This is our first trip to Williamsburg, VA. Though my wife isn't a big fan of seafood, she agreed we simply must eat seafood while on the East coast. After researching many restaurants in the area, we settled on Oceans and Ale. Just as the name implies, they have great seafood and a variety of beer on tap and ready!...

My husband and I visited here on a trip to Williamsburg after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. Our waitress was great. We started with the seafood nachos which I was weary about, but oh my. The plate of nachos is huge and they were phenomenal. My husband was in heaven. He ordered a couple of beers which were also very good....

The food was excellent and the service was even better. Chilean Sea Bass was the special the evening we were there. The waitress said it would be thick and not overdone. She was right. We told her we were in no hurry, wanted to enjoy the evening. She said she would check back and for us to tell her when...

Tucked away in a shopping mall almost obscured from the highway is this unexpected delight. Whether our fish dishes were fried or poached the fish was moist but not overcooked. The ragu served over the sea stack and garlic mashed potatoes was a meal in itself. The breading on the fish and chips was light and crisp covering an equally...

Located near the outlets. Excellent, reasonably priced for seafood. Blackened tuna prepared perfectly. Large selection of beers. A bit loud but worth it.
