Restaurants near Travelodge Williamsburg Central

This restaurant was even better than we anticipated. The food and service were excellent. Beautiful presentation too!

Took quite a bit of time for meals to be served. Service was great though

I was on a solo retreat and wanted to indulge! I ordered the appetizer ham platter. Very tasty. Then I had the prime rib, cooked perfectly! It came with a soup or salad and dessert. I had the salad with pecans and apples. Delicious! I savored every course, but didn’t over indulge in any one thing. Dessert was the “snow eggs”. Honestly, it was absolutely delicious, with cinnamon and meringue over custard and not too sweet. However, mentally, I couldn’t get pass the name and how it was two plops of whipped egg whites over a very thin, runny custard. I’m glad I tried it…would have eaten more if it had not been for the visual snafu. I took all leftovers back to my hotel and had a late night snack since I ate dinner at 5pm. I want to send a special thanks to the anonymous, kind person who surprised me and picked up my check. I’m sure they didn’t know I had ordered a $105 tasting “experience”. It really made my night. I took the retreat to reset myself for holidays after losing 2 close relatives this year. It’s nice to know there are still good people in this world. My husband is going to feel like he missed out (and he did!), but he understood. Now, the downside of the entire experience was the parking. I didn’t see anything on Open table about parking. The lot is on a back street and not clearly marked. It is a walk for someone who needs two knee replacements. I had to walk down a dark street & alley, only to find two handicapped spaces immediately behind the tavern. How would anyone know that? Be sure to know details about parking before you go to avoid missing your reservation. I ended up calling the restaurant phone number which is the main Col. Wmsbg. number. The operator stayed on the phone and helped me to find the lot. The issue is that the restaurant is IN the historic are where no cars are allowed. As a grandparent of a 1 year old. I agree that it’s not the place for babies. You could really ruin someone’s special night.

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.

To be honest, I was somewhat surprised how easily we got a table for a party of 6. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary with guests. Most of the high quality places in Williamsburg were booked due to the Grand Illumination. We were a little concerned having only read the website. We needn't have worried. The restaurant was clean with an upscale look, up to and including table settings. Florence, our server, was fantastic. The prices were exceptional. Extremely reasonable across the board, including the drinks. Now, the most important part: the food. I had the seafood combo which consisted of a crab cake, broiled scallops, broiled flounder and broiled shrimp. Included were potatoes and vegetables. Everything was exquisite. My wife's Delmonico steak was melt in your mouth tender. I can't attest to the quality of the other's food except to say that everybody gave the experience a 5, except for one person who gave it a four. My hope for this fine restaurant is that it soon is so busy that it may be hard to get reservations the next time we go there.
