    We went the day after Valentine's Day. When I made the reservation, I ask if we could order off the menu since we already had a Valentine's Dinner scheduled for the 14th. The person on the phone said that we could order off the menu. When we arrived, we were told only the $100/person dinner was available. Our server checked with management, and we were allowed to order off the Valentine's menu ala carte, plus one special entree they could prepare. Our steak came a little overdone after I asked it to be prepared on the rare side of medium-rare. Moody's Sticky Ribs were excellent, six meaty ribs billed as a shareable and a great value. The service was excellent as plates were cleared promptly and we were left to enjoy our wine and cocktail. I highly recommend the experience, the sticky ribs, and will try the Heritage Pork Chop next time. One wall has fencing from a pig pen, and the place is well decorated and has a nice ambience. I encourage you to look at the website (read the story) and menu before you decide to go; there is more seafood and beef dishes than pork, and they claim to be sustainable.

    Plenty of greens in the family-style salad. My husband and I wondered if we would be able to eat it all. We ate 3/4th of it. The fried chicken had great flavor and the beef was tender. The veggies were cooked just right. The texture was medium - not raw and not overcooked- just right. The strawberry cream dessert was light and refreshing. We were very satisfied.

    We did a round of dinner visits to three of the colonial taverns during Christmas week. The wait staff/Historical interpreters really make the experience and we had three very good ones. The food was all good but I didn't have high expectations for the beef and I was not surprised that it was good but not great. We were there for the experience and all the other food was pretty good as were the drinks and local beer. It was a fun time and an experience that we'd probably do occasionally when visiting WIlliamsburg. We'd recommend it for anyone who hasn't been
