    They sent us in a small dining room right at the window. Very intimate and quiet. The service was excellent by James. I got there rockfish special and it was delicious! We don’t, however recommend the oysters, Rockefeller… The oysters got completely lost in all of the fixings.

    Another outstanding lunch at a famous Williamsburg ‘go to’ restaurant. Three types of local oysters @ $1 ea. Mixed the menu of the day with the lunch and had some fabulous grouper as well as calamari. Service attentive and unobtrusive - quite busy for a late lunch but table turnover was efficient and not really noticeable. Shall return soon, :-)

    Zero ambiance for a Valentines Day. Food just mediocre but cold. Weight staff and hostess not very welcoming. Will be awhile before we return.

    My husband said the best pork chops he's ever eaten, eats them every time. I try something new each time, and have never had a complaint. I'm a pescatarian, let your wait staff know your food preferences and they will let you know if there is bacon in a certain dish etc. They are wonderful about that.

    The barramundi with oysters dish was superb. Service was smart and professional (our server was Lee), and the overall ambiance contributed to a very nice dining experience.

    Meal was OUTSTANDING…but it was matched by the equally exceptional service of Christian—my wife and I had a wonderful time at Berret’s!!
