Dining at Hampton Marinas

You won’t go hungry when you pull your boat up to one of these Hampton marinas. Step onto the pier and walk right in to refuel and quench your thirst. You’ll find no shortage of fresh local seafood, ambiance and friendly conversation.

Eat or drink overlooking the Downtown Hampton Public Piers in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Sip a cocktail or a hand-selected wine at Latitude 37, the hotel’s nautically-inspired bar serving lighter fare. Adjacent is Regatta Grille, offering fine dining on fresh seafood, steaks and pasta. In season, Oyster Alley serves up al fresco dining right on the pier. Live music fills the air on summer Saturday nights. Watch chef Matt Wilson make his Pan-roasted Grouper!

Surf Rider at Bluewater Yachting Center is known for its special recipe crab cakes and fun, jovial atmosphere with an open-view kitchen and surfboards on the walls. Can’t decide between shrimp, scallops, crab or surf and turf? There’s no need with one of their hearty combination platters. Cozy up in a booth for two, choose a large table for the family, or sit at the bar to tell the day's big fish story!
