5.0 of 5 stars. I know quite a few locals who have never eaten there, and I admit that sometimes I forget about it too. It's one of those "out of sight, out of mind" places. You don't see Steinhilber's unless you are...

Yelp.com Review - by Sean T.

Great Seafood

Their fried shrimp are the best around. Nice setting and atmosphere. The staff tends to be a little snobby. Prices are a little high.

Seafood Restaurant

This is a beautiful setting. Their fried shrimp is the best in the world. They need to spice up the salads and sides a bit more.

Nice Setting But Very Pricey!!!!!!

Old Restuarant located on a finger of the Lynnhaven River (not much of a view). Very SMALL portions and very overpriced! A nice setting but not worth the money and wait.

Classy buy Casual

This place is casual wear, but you feel like you are getting high class service. Someone is always watching your table to ensure you have drinks, bread, etc. The Steiny shrimp are the greatest in the area.
