- OTOpenTable DinerVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWhenever we want to have a night out that that is guaranteed to have a great atmosphere and outstanding food, we go to The Boathouse. The staff are always professional and wonderful, the food is never disappointing and is always perfect, and it's the perfect place to unwind and have a romantic date in one of their very nice booths.

Discover Virginia
Virginia is known for more than just delicious southern cooking; they have their own style! If you are a ham lover, look out for Virginia ham — also known as Smithfield ham. It is only legal to produce in one place in the world, Smithfield, Virginia. Virginian cuisine also includes a variety of BBQ that range from all vinegar to a vinegar-based sweetness. A hearty Brunswick stew is another mainstay of Virginia. Originally using an Appalachian flying squirrel, it now uses a variety of meats braised in this vegetable stew. Traditional Virginian apple cider and apple butter, made from Wineapples, is a real treat. Another delicacy is any seafood that is cooked with Old Bay, originally formulated with spices from a specific region of the state, the Chesapeake Bay.
