Surf Rider Bay Point

Saturday was my 1st visit to this location's Surf Rider and it's my new favorite! I literally had a PERFECT DINING EXPERIENCE! From seating, service, food quality, food taste, and my "without asking" TO GO tea refill!!! I love a WEDGE SALAD and this one was crispy fresh with some of the smoothest blue cheese I've had lately, The award winning SHE CRAB SOUP was on-point with lumps of crab. The BROILED SEAFOOD PLATTER with perfectly prepared scallops, Old Bay crab cake, flounder & shrimp (DELICIOUS!!!) and my classic favorite, the STEAMED SHRIMP & LUMP CRAB sprinkled in Old Bay seasoning with warm melted butter & some of the best cocktail sauce was AWESOME!!! I should NOT have resisted the HOMEMADE COCONUT CUSTARD PIE because I regretted not getting it TO-GO when I was watching TV later that night during the thunderstorm... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! Patio seating & beautiful marina view!

5 out of 5. Probably the best seafood I have had. Seriously. They take a lot of pride in their food. From the sauces to the freshness of the food it was all good. The Crab Cake is AMAZING!! Atmosphere was fun with a beautiful view. Highly recommend.

A delicious family meal out. Arrived on a yachting race day so parking was valet only (complimentary, tips of course appreciated) as a result of the lot being shared with the marina. Absolutely no problem with that but mentioned as some folks are nervous about valet parking so might be worth a check if you fall into that camp. Also seemed like you could sit by the pool (use the pool?) outside although on a warm August evening we opted for the air conditioning. There’s no WiFi but equally it’s the type of place to enjoy the atmosphere, views of the marking and really delicious food. My wife thought the crab cake was spectacular and the calamari equally so. I had a topped cheeseburger which was although lovely, especially with tater tots although no problems with the fries either. Kids gobbled up their food (calamari and a hamburger respectively) and the service was really good throughout: friendly and attentive. Being really picky, the only downside on service was the table clearer who kept appearing and seeming to want to remove each piece of crockery separately at every opportunity and came over to ask (even asking about just one plate that still had some food on it!). I admire the enthusiasm, but it seemed just a little overbearing, as if there was some sort of tableware shortage and the poor kitchen assistant had been sent to recover every item possible as soon as possible! That didn’t take away from the overall experience of this delightful spot, however, that served really lovely food in a great atmosphere (I enjoyed the spacious feel as well - a nice wide aisle rather than cramming the tables in). I can’t comment on the crab cakes personally, but based on my wife’s comments, if that sort of thing is to your taste, then Surf Rider is not to be missed!
