Reviews
"I had the steak, and my wife had the fish. Absolutely delicious, the waiter was very helpful and attentive. A great spot off the beaten path, well worth the price!"
"I used to be a fan and frequent this restaurant. I loved their fish tacos and chocolate pie dessert, but they have removed or changed favorite items. Despite multiple pleas from many customers to return favorite items to the menu, the executive chef not only refuses, he turns his head away. For an area that has fine restaurants failing frequently (like Prime 46 Forty and Art Cafe 26), you’d think they’d care more about their customers. But apparently not."
"Definitely try the crab cakes, I was incredibly pleased with how they came out! The tuna fish tacos were a bit dry. We still crushed them though Compared to other restaurants we went to during our stay at Williamsburg this one was It is a bit pricey for a lunch experience"
"I visited the Tavern at Williamsburg Winery a couple of weeks ago. I had a great time. The hostess, Cassidy, was nice, helpful, and gave a great recommendation for a wine. I was given a taste before committing to the wine (definitely “I do” after the tasting. There was a lot of different areas to have your wine, there kids taking prom pictures, there was music, and a tasting room. I enjoyed my meal, and so did the other person that was with me. Definitely worth the trip. For those who like shopping, the Outlets is about 20 minutes away."
