All party goers bring the customary dish to share with others at our Buffet Table. We’ll have oysters, of course—steamed, raw and fixed a variety of ways. Our grillmasters will offer burgers and hotdogs with all the fixings. Enjoy ice cold beer brought to you by Beales, maker of fine Virginia craft beers.
