Our Story

Hospitality Runs in the Family.

From one waterfront restaurant on the Pagan River to a growing collection of destinations across Coastal Virginia.

Family Roots

Growing Up Around the Station

For the Pack family, hospitality was never a business plan — it was a way of life. Growing up around Smithfield Station, the brothers learned that a great meal, a warm welcome, and a view of the water can turn an ordinary evening into a memory. That belief still guides everything we do.
