    The food was overpriced, under-seasoned, and the menu selection was quite small. The scallops did not have a good sear. The crabcakes had no flavor. Even the crab, by itself, had no taste. The peach and pecan bread pudding was more like fruit cake than a bread pudding. We were very disappointed, especially for the price.

    Berret’s never disappoints! Our server, James, was attentive and friendly. Everything from drinks and appetizers to entrees was delicious and perfectly prepared. Looking forward to dining at Berret’s on our next trip to Williamsburg!

    Had a very tasty seafood meal here. The Oysters Rockefeller was better here than at the Rockefeller Room at the Williamsburg Inn. Great place for those who enjoy seafood. Wide variety on the menu.

    Once again Barrett’s does not disappoint. Every time we are in Williamsburg this is the first stop we make. Food is great and service is impeccable. Ask for Marney or Christian, great service.

    I was surprised that the meal was "meh" at this restaurant when it was highly rated before making my reservation. Had some trouble that the restaurant tried to rectify...first, the server seemed to lose our order and after waiting almost an hour and having finished our appetizer, he returned to say "the kitchen lost my ticket" but I found that difficult to believe because our orders, if in the system, would be able to be called up so I'm pretty sure our server simply forgot to enter it... They did offer us complimentary clam chowder (to which I had to decline mine because I don't eat clam chowder) but they also offered us complimentary beverages... The food, once it arrived, was a little "meh" considering the price.
