Rockfish






Across the street from our hotel, The Breakers Resort, was Rockfish. This was the second Beatles themed restaurant we ate at during our visit to Virginia Beach. 

We ordered the fish and chips and the fried fish sandwich; both are made with rockfish, a white flaky fish. The fish and chips platter is two large fillets of fish, while the sandwich is two much, much smaller fillets. In fact, the pieces of fish we had, while being the same fish, tasted very different. The smaller pieces had a "fishy" taste, while the fish and chips fillets were much more mild.

The interior of the restaurant has a very subtle Beatles theme. There are posters and memorabilia, including guitars on the walls, but done tastefully. There are also two patios, one for the bar, which is seat yourself, and one for the restaurant, which can fill up pretty quickly on a nice evening. The bar patio the night we ate here was next to empty and we were able to get a seat against the railing overlooking the boardwalk without a wait.

However, the one negative we did encounter sitting on the bar side of the restaurant was, the 2 bartenders that night were also the wait staff for the bar area, so the service was a little slow. Also, I ordered a margarita and it never showed up. The bartender did offer to make it after we informed him of not receiving it, but we had already finished our meal and were ready to head back to our hotel room.
