Four of us had the absolute pleasure to spend the day with Chris and on his Chefs Table tour. He is very knowledgeable about everything surrounding the oyster business and local Virginia Beach history. The oysters were excellent and I could not recommend Chris and his tours more highly. 10/10.

A superb trip! Captain Chris is extremely knowledgeable and took obvious pleasure in imparting his wisdom to us. The tastings were fabulous and the oysters delicious. A must do if your staying in Virginia Beach.

Easily one of the most unique and incredible experiences of our entire trip to Virginia Beach!We recently had the privilege of experiencing the Chef's Table Tour offered by Capt. Chris, and I have to share our review of this exceptional, hands-on culinary adventure. From start to finish, it was an extraordinary journey that left a lasting impression.Capt. Chris is absolutely amazing. Not only is he a true local and a passionate conservationist, but he's also the owner, oyster farmer, tour guide, and cook all rolled into one. The tour included a great education on all things oysters and the local ecosystem, topped off with an incredible four-course lunch right on the beach in the middle of the Lynnhaven inlet.It is hard to beat a fresh catch straight from the source, and this seafood completely delivered. The oysters were pulled right from the water! We sampled a large variety of different oysters and some lightly grilled ones. On top of that, Chris served up incredible fresh-caught cobia, NC shrimp, and incredible homemade crab tomato pie.The environment was just as incredible as the food. Wildlife surrounded us throughout the day—we saw blue crabs, spider crabs, fiddler crabs, stingrays, mullet, turtles, and plenty of different birds. To top off a fantastic day, Capt. Chris even chased a few bluefish that came into the river on our way back to the dock.

Overall an amazing experience. Capt. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and was an awesome guide to the Lynnhaven River, oysters, clams, and everything else you could think of! We got more than our fair share of oysters and clams, which were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended, especially if you have kids (they will have a blast)! Definitely will go out again next time we visit Virginia Beach.

Captain Chris was amazing. This was our best experience in Virginia Beach! I highly recommend the chef’s table tour. Absolutely wonderful!
