It’s no secret that Virginia’s small towns are home to some of the best dining options in the state. Typically, these small-town eateries are longstanding establishments in the community. Yet recently, there’s been a wave of gourmet options that make their home in Virginia’s charming rural communities. One prime example is the relatively-new Adrift Restaurant in White Stone, Virginia. Situated on the beautiful Northern Neck, this restaurant combines local fare with an elegant atmosphere and impressive water views. What could be better than that? Here’s more on this little-known spot that will win you over.
It was April of 2018 when a husband-and-wife duo decided to open Adrift Restaurant in the lively coastal town of White Stone, Virginia. The couple met while working at the Inn at Little Washington and decided to venture to the coast to expand their culinary horizons.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright and airy, much like the surrounding landscape. Views of the river speak for themselves, so the decorating inside is appropriately sparse.
