    6:45 Reservation. Arrived on time was instantly seated. while several folks waited outside for tables. This is a good sized operation and they were packed. So any delays in getting orders in or out can be understood, but the waits were less than expected and the quality of the food was well worth waiting for...Portions were adequate.. Makes me wish i lived Williamsburg, then I would have a new favorite fish restaurant.

    My crab cakes were ice cold in the middle indicating they had been frozen instead of prepared fresh. Overpriced for frozen crab cakes!

    We eat here almost every time we come to Williamsburg (only once a year or so). We were a little early but were seated immediately. Food was great; love the bread , soups were delicious. Hubby had Seafood festival and loved it. I tried Seafood baked in parchment; flavors were not my favorite but that's just personal taste. Other might like it just fine. Next time I'll go back to crab cakes, always awesome!

    A longtime Williamsburg staple for a reason! Berret’s hit its stride decades ago and hasn’t let off the gas. Consistent quality!

    I hadn’t been to Berret’s in >25 years! It was better than I remembered. The Caesar salad was amazing, the peel-n-eat shrimp were very good and the oysters were good. Our server Marnie was stellar. Berret’s is a solid downtown Williamsburg option.
