   Great spot for dinner and drinks after walking Colonial Williamsburg. All of our entrees were delicious. Thank you to the chef, our server, and the entire staff. After dinner, we learned the Williamsburg shuttle stops directly in front. Very convenient.

   Their food satisfied in every way. Our bellies could not keep up with our tastebuds. Our waitress (cannot remember her name, but she said she was from New York and she has friends who could not pronounce Massachusetts) was also quite kind and personable, making the experience even more enjoyable.

   Dined twice while staying at the lodge. Food was fantastic both times. The service was mixed. First night our server (I think her name was Kris) was truly great. Very knowledgeable about the menu and allergies which put me at ease. Was also good with our son - making sure his food came out early. Had a kids cup ready to go, checked on us frequently. Second time was odd. I think a new server so maybe just getting used to things. The reservations were also limited despite it not seeming busy. I do think the bar was really busy the second night which slowed things down.

   Restaurant was Awesome. I truly enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich for dinner. You need to save room for the chocolate cake. Delicious.

   All of the food was delicous. Kids menu had a good number of choices. Biscuits are amazing. Our server was great. They were knowledgeable about allergies as well.

   It was a lovely experience. Bryen, our server, was attentive and conversed with us. The food was delicious and the noise level was perfect for our business dinner. If you go, you must have the Chesapeake Crab Soup, the best I have ever tasted.

   Very casual, jazz music was nice, menu had some good offerings, but limited, would like to have sit in the bar area vs the dining room but we still managed to have a good evening.

   Service was outstanding! Everyone was very friendly, and Jessica, our waitress, was exceptional. She was attentive and quite helpful in the suggestions she made for dinner. The music played by Travis Colby was wonderful and helped to make our evening quite enjoyable. This is definitely my new favorite restaurant.

    When we arrived, we asked for valet service and ended up parking around vehicle, which we thought was very strange upon entering. The hostess wasn’t very friendly and it took a very long time to get seated when we had a reservation the lighting I think could use some work. It was very poor lighting. Food and waitress were amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better waitress, her name was Jessica. We absolutely loved how helpful she was. It was our first time and she went above and beyond. The food was excellent quality and hot.
