Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Colonial Williamsburg

The catch of the day special was flounder, prepared with a beautiful balance of other flavors: crab, lemon butter, watercress, and skinned tomatoes in a rich sauce blanc. All of the dishes were well plated and the service was attentive but never intrusive; I appreciate that all five of us received our courses at once, and that no one’s plate and setting disappeared before all were finished eating!

Food was delicious and Morgan our server was wonderful!

We always enjoy everything about the Coastal Grill. The food has never been disappointing the staff including the valet are fabulous and only wish we went more often. A very special experience and place

It’s a magical time right now at The Gabriel Archer Tavern and the Williamsburg Winery! The holiday decorations are absolutely lovely, especially the lights outside! Our evening was perfect! David, our server, was wonderful! He brought complimentary Champagne to our four gentlemen, all celebrating birthdays! He reported to Chef that the couscous was a tad bit salty. He was delightful. Jenna, the Manager, came over to say hello and to see how our table of friends was doing. She also took the most amazing photo of our group outside by the lighted tree! Cheers to 5+++ ⭐️’s. Our evening there is a lovely memory, and we look forward to many more! 🍷🍾🥂

The heater is loud outside but that’s to be expected. I love this place but the experience is always up or down. This time it was excellent!
