Surf rider hampton12/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() YES this happened.Īs a long-time traveler, restaurant goer, and seafood lover, I truly enjoyed my three-course lunch today. It can be perceived that Surf Rider, Hampton, Restaurant has a white-only dining area and people of color dine in the back area. The Management and Staff needs to pay attention as to how they handle their patrons, both consciously and subconsciously. We don’t know if it was intentional or not, however, this type of segregation is definitely perceived as racism. These patrons were also African American like us. Just before we received our bill, our hostess escorted four new patrons pass numerous empty tables and booths and seated them directly behind us. What was noticeable is that they were all Caucasian. As I walked through the front of the restaurant, I noticed that the new diners consisted of one single individual, six couples, and one family seated for a meal. We noticed that none of the new patrons were directed into the area we were seated. During this time, several new patrons arrived in the restaurant. We ordered our meals and began to enjoy our dinner. Our hostess escorted us pass many empty tables and booths to the back dining area. One couple seated in the front of the restaurant and another on the outside deck. When we arrived, there were two couples seated in the place. But today, we experienced something that we never thought would happen at this restaurant or in this day/time. The food is always well- prepared and delicious. We have been patrons at this Surf Rider Restaurant for over thirty years. My wife and I arrived at Surf Rider, Hampton, Virginia, Restaurant, about 4:15 on 27 October 2022.
