A word from Fat Canary
This high-energy bistro took over as Williamsburg's best restaurant as soon as it opened in 2004. The sophisticated but relaxed dining room sports a long bar down one side -- a favorite local watering hole -- and an open kitchen which uses fresh local and other ingredients for its creative American

excellent menu selection of appetizers and entrees. dessert menu was a little weak. attentive to gluten restrictions. Clearing the table at the end of the meal could have been a little less obtrusive. the waiter maneuvered around the table, struggling to reach across the table while balancing an already precarious armload of dishware and flatware - perhaps a tray with a stand would have been less noticeable?

Fat Canary remains the best restaurant in Williamsburg and most likely in Hampton Roads, in our view. We've eaten at excellent restaurants throughout the world and have found that it's difficult to find ones that excel in both food preparation and customer service. The Fat Canary succeeds on both counts. The food is impeccably fresh, locally sourced and superbly prepared. Service is attentive, jovial, well informed and welcoming. Tom Power, the owner, watches over the dining room to make sure customers are having a good experience. We dine here whenever we have an opportunity and highly recommend the restaurant.

This restaurant has to be one of the top restaurants in Williamsburg. The food is always outstanding, and so is the service. Our favorite server, Tink, is always very charming and attentive. I love the lobster and asparagus salad, which I usually order for an entree as a double size. And just about everything else is great here. But I suggest you arrive get an early reservation since it tends to get crowded and noisy as the evening progresses.

Fat Canary is one of our favorites in the Middle Atlantic region. Compares very favorably with the best of DC.
Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Small-ish restaurant perfectly designed, with sufficient space between tables to have a quiet private conversation yet warm and friendly overall environment.
High quality food and preparation - that is local/regional.
The wait staff is extraordinary - and extremely experienced and well informed.
The overall experience - couple with when one can a day or two in Colonial Williamsburg- is absolutely worth the drive.

Always a wonderful dining experience. The chef's special creations are fabulous! Even the desserts are special. We especially loved the Blood Orange Sorbet.

Very nice atmosphere, service and food was top notch. A bit expensive but food quality and presentation merit the costs. Restaurant dosen't cater to children (i.e. there is not a Children's menu) but they made accomodations to fit the children's needs just fine.
