The Eastville Inn

Forget  the previous review from 2007. The Eastville Inn has new management and chef, and the food was delicious. The Eastville Inn is a historic building in Eastville Virginia, the county seat of Northampton County. The main building is a lively inn dating to the late 100's. Decor is clean, contemporary and elegant. M

My wife and I stopped in for Sunday Brunch on our way home to Norfolk. I had the Eggs Benedict with Black Forest ham and my wife had the Eggs Benedict with Salmon. Both were outstanding; clearly the best eggs Benedict we ever had. The eggs were perfectly poached and Hollandaise Sauce was chef-made, light and creamy. Both were served with deliciouspotatoes and grilled asparagus. It his were closer to our home, we would come here every Sunday for brunch.

The rest of the Brunch and Dinner menu looked wonderful. I heartily recommend this this gem of a restaurant on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

Serving up some updated Eastern Shore favorites like fried oysters, crab cakes and soft shell crabs. The Inn provides a relaxing Sunday in the garden atmosphere.  The food was fresh and the fried food was not heavy. You can choose how you want your seafood prepared (grilled, baked, blackened, etc.) if you are not on vacation and being a total glutton as I was.

There was one fantastic standout in the meal... The sweet potato biscuits. I give the inn  an extra star for these sweet, dense bundles of joy.  Unfortunately they only give one per person and they are only a half dollar in size. I supposed i could have asked for more, but I knew we were stopping at another place for dessert.

Be sure to check out the historic/artifact room and stroll the small kitchen garden they have outside.  Also note the tiny lawyers offices that are adjacent of the inn, bringing more colonial nostalgia to the experience.
