    I took my family to Williamsburg for the Grand Illumination and Barrett’s was a highlight of our weekend! It was extremely cold and the meal, exceptional service by Marnie, and warm atmosphere were just the reprieve we needed from the weather.

    Berret’s is one of the best restaurants in Williamsburg with a great location adjacent to Merchant’s Square, in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. We had a festive lunch before attending a Christmas show at the Kimball Theater conveniently located across the Berret’s parking lot. The seafood options are amazing and the other menu choices will satisfy all diners. The servers are wonderful professionals who have found a home at Berret’s so you can ask for your favorite server each time you go. We especially enjoy Channing because of her great sense of humor, professionalism and knowledge of the menu.

    6:45 Reservation. Arrived on time was instantly seated. while several folks waited outside for tables. This is a good sized operation and they were packed. So any delays in getting orders in or out can be understood, but the waits were less than expected and the quality of the food was well worth waiting for...Portions were adequate.. Makes me wish i lived Williamsburg, then I would have a new favorite fish restaurant.

    Eating at Berrets was a great experience. They were able to seat us 10 minutes early for our lunch reservation. The waiter was great and was able to give us good recommendations for menu choices. Our food was delivered in a timely manner and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing.
