The Gabriel Archer Tavern was built in 1987 on footprints of an old farm shed. Today, its mission is to provide a memorable farm-to-table dining experience that's both delicious and nourishing.

In addition to a half-acre produce garden and greenhouse on site where lettuces and herbs will be grown, our chef works hard to find local farmers as partners in producing a menu oriented towards fresh and seasonal specialties.

Our wide variety of fresh selections from our unique menu will guarantee that everyone in your party leaves with a smile.

I have eaten at this restaurant many times. I go for the ambience and the wine. The Tavern is nestled among the rows of grapevines, and has a rustic colonial feel. The food is pub/ tavern style, but curated with interesting flavors and touches. The lunch is on the pricey side, but has nice offerings for a celebration lunch ($15-25 per entree). I always like to get a wine sampler which is 2 oz of four select wines. If you have time, check out the tasting room across the way, that has all their wines available to taste and some small snacks. It is also seasonally decorated with local art from Williamsburg Artists.

A really lovely lunch. The ambiance is perfect and we had a beautiful view of the snow covered vineyard. Our server was attentive and helpful. Knowledgeable of the wine and of the menu items. We got a cheese board and a chocolate ganache torte to share and they were to die for. Highly recommend.

We were greeted and escorted to a nice table with a good view. The server was quick to our table with another nice greeting and water. He was solicitous about our desires. We ordered the burgers and were very happy that they arrived very quickly, cook exactly as we requested. They were very good and we were very happy with everything. I will definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal at a reasonable price.

It’s always a total delight spending time at the Tavern, outstanding service, quality of food and drink. If you love great wine and delicious food with outstanding service, make it a point to visit. We come down from PA twice a year and it’s, for years, been a must for us.
