Best Historic Restaurants in Williamsburg

Wonderful bread service. Asparagus delicious. Pork chop nicely done. Service excellent. Dining room could be a little more elegant to match the foyer.

Amazing experience at King’s Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. We made reservations for dinner before the Grand Illumination. We were seated quickly in one of the quaint rooms and had attentive service. The food was outstanding from appetizer to dessert. We enjoyed the fife and drums playing outside as well as two strolling artists who played in the different dining rooms. Once our meal was finished, we walked outside to enjoy the fireworks which were seen perfectly outside the restaurant! Although expensive, it was a special and lovely family holiday experience!!

Absolute wonderful experience. The rockfish on a bed of risotto, chili peppers and tomatoes was the best fish that I have ever eaten as it was perfect. Chardonnay by the glass complimented the fish very well and the ambiance and service were very nice. Great evening and I visit every year when I come home to Williamsburg — best restaurant in town and the versatile menu is always enlightening - delicious.

Very quick welcome at the reception desk and quick seating. Directed to a small room table for two shared with one 4 seat table Great service and very prompt. The crab cakes, salad and dessert were all wonderful. As was the fried chicken. The performance by the flutist was an extra bonus to the ambience. The only drawback was sharing the room with a very active talkative 6 year old.

The service is outstanding and the menu offers choices for everyone, including vegan diners. The menu was also seasonally directed, with many choices that were upgraded comfort foods. Even the burger options add something extra to make them a cut above. Try the potpie, burger or either salmon option.
