About the restaurant

For parties larger than 6, please call for reservations (855)-240-3278 .
Originally opened by Jane Vobe in 1772, this authentic reproduction public house serves up a transporting experience for the senses in Colonial Williamsburg. Everything is true to the time period at King’s Arms Tavern, from the fashion sported by servers to the pewter candlesticks—all adding to an air of colonial elegance. Inspired by 18th-century recipes, but with updates to suit 21st-century tastes, tuck in to a chophouse menu featuring prime rib, pork chops, and more.

ADA Accessible dining is available in the Purdie Kitchen. Please note this colonial building is separate from King’s Arms Tavern. Please check-in at the front, and our host will escort guests to the Purdie Kitchen.

The taverns are located in the Historic Area, and not on a public street. The Tavern is a short walk from the Tavern Parking lot which is on Francis Street.

I was surprised by how prepared they were for a gluten free customer! i was able to have two desserts, and most of the entrees. Eating where some of our founding fathers have eaten was such a trippy experience, and the food was delicious, especially the cornish hen. The chop of shoat was just okay to us. I'll definitely go again.

About the restaurant

Le Yaca began in 1964 in Courchevel, a tiny, country village in the French Alps. Daniele Bourderau & Gerard decided it would be fun to open a small restaurant. When friends learned of their plans, they told the hopeful restaurateurs they were crazy to think people would drive eight kilometers on a winding, icy road for dinner. Daniele and Gerard hesitated for three months and then decided, “yaca le faire,” a contraction of the French phrase “il n’y a qu’a le faire,” which basically means, “let’s do it.” They called the restaurant Le Yaca as a gag, but the name caught on with customers who were amused by the pun and contributed to the restaurant’s lore by inventing “yaca-isms” of their own: yaca y aller (let’s go). Daniele came to the United States and opened Le Yaca in Williamsburg. Daniel Abid bought Le Yaca in 2001. Daniel worked and trained in such prestigious places as “Le Pre Catelan” and “Lenotre” in Paris; “L’Amandier” and “Roger Verge," and to top it all off, “Alain Ducass

This is our favorite restaurant in town, and we have never been disappointed. The quality, flavor and presentation is Michelin star deserving. I tried the Halibut which was a special in the menu and it was a sensorial experience like no other. We tried their interpretation of Gaspacho which is a cold soup from Spain, it was very good as well, for dessert you can’t go wrong with an amazing trio gelato.

Not much has changed since George Washington frequented Campbell’s Tavern for its delicious seafood in the 18th century. Dig in to locally sourced shrimp, scallops, and fish, and be sure to try Christiana’s famous Crab Cakes, Fried Chicken, Sweet Potato Muffins and Spoon Bread.
The street address is 101 S. Waller Street, with ample parking behind the tavern.

Fried chicken was delicious. Spoonbread was a really tasty side dish. The Boston Punch bowl can easily give 8 glasses of punch around the table. 2 people or 4 can enjoy the punch. We went for the experience of eating in a colonial setting and this place really delivers that experience. Live music was provided by a violin player who was excellent. We will definitely go again.

Our family absolutely loves Berret’s Restaurant. Seline was our server for the second time. She is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Then there’s the food! We ordered the seared mahi and the seafood steamed in parchment paper. Just delicious! Anytime we must come to the peninsula, we must have lunch or dinner at Berret’s Restaurant.

It’s the best restaurant in Williamsburg, on a par with the finest fine dining restaurants in big cities. Fabulous and creative menu with high/end selections for less than you’d pay in DC or NY. Lobster fettuccine and the unique approach to a mozzarella appetizer are great starters. No one anywhere presents a better fish dish and the fish is always extraordinary. Short ribs are remarkably great. The food tastes as good as it looks. Service is perfect. You can’t beat this place. Costs more than other local restaurants but it’s all worth it — and a bargain compared to DC spots.

About the restaurant

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.

We had the opportunity to eat outside and it was quiet. The wait staff was attentive without hovering. We were able to have a leisurely visit without being rushed out of our seats.

About the restaurant

Tuscany Ristorante Italiano is a classic favorite among the locals and tourists alike. We are located at the corner of Longhill Road and Olde Towne Road in Williamsburg. We are a fine Italian restaurant that offers our guests a taste of true authentic Italian dishes. The restaurant is co-owned by Aldo Bertuglia and Kate Huff. Aldo is responsible for everything in the kitchen and Kate is responsible for the guests and front employees.
We offer a magnificent selection of the finest authentic Italian dishes. We do not take short cuts. All of our dishes are made to order, which means that you can expect to have a dish where the ingredients and sauces are prepared and made on site after you place your order.
We offer more than spaghetti and meatballs. So do not be afraid to explore beyond your ordinary pallet. Have a glance at our menu and photo gallery (currently under construction) to see what tempts you.
