It's our last night in VA., so we all wanted a steakhouse that locals love. We picked the Aberdeen…read moreBarn on Richmond Ave., Williamsburg, VA. We enjoyed their food and atmosphere a couple of years ago. We were seated right away and the restaurant inside was a barn board with wooden post and beam. Our waitress, Lorna, was great. Our grandson was thirty, so she kept bringing him glasses of water. We had sirloin and prime rib steaks which melted in our mouths. We also had lobster tails and all the fixings: steak fries, rice, broccoli, garlic mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. Everything was great and cooked to perfection! We truly enjoyed our culinary experience at the Aberdeen Barn. All our food was served hot and atmosphere was relaxed and felt like home. Great food, great wait serve and a wonderful experience with our family. If you're in Williamsburg and want an excellent steak and/or mouth watering seafood, this is the restaurant you want to experience. This is one the local's favorite places to eat. I agree with the local's assessment! Stay safe in your travels and stay healthy. Enjoy your family and friends over great meal.

Our friends came into town last Monday and we chose Ocean's and Ale for dinner. The food was great…read moreand our server Brittany was friendly, helpful in selecting from the menu as well as being easily on hand for additional items we ordered that evening!

A group of four of us were excited to finally go to the new location of Oceans & Ale, and I'm sorry…read moreto say that we were disappointed. The fresh catch meal included a simple house salad, and it took 30 minutes for the salad to arrive. Shortly after the salad arrived, our meals came out, and they were lukewarm. I had the grilled mahi mahi with lemon dill butter over some roasted fingerling potatoes and corn. While the fish itself was a nice piece and well prepared, its not-quite-warm temperature made it less appetizing to eat. The same was true for our other meals: the seafood pot pie and the mahi mahi fish tacos. While our waitress offered to have them all reheated, we both didn't have time as we had theatre tickets and reheating the tacos with their toppings, the pot pie with its pastry crust, and the seared fish didn't sound appealing. The restaurant's dining room was comfortable, and the bar area looked vibrant. Hopefully they are still breaking in their new facility, as we liked dining with them in their previous location.

Everything was incredibly delicious. The entire restaurant is spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. The staff was very helpful and took the time to explain the menu. We also had espresso martinis--the non-creamy version--which were excellent as well. We will certainly be back for another visit within the month.

The Fat Canary remains our number one choice for a fine dining experience in Williamsburg…read more The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent. During our most recent meal, we enjoyed the blood orange martinis, the ham and mozzarella appetizer, short ribs, fish special, and crepes dessert, plus a bottle of pinot noir. The restaurant bills a 3.5% surcharge to support the kitchen staff. I would much rather see that incorporated into the menu prices. I don't understand why it's separate. I understand providing a competitive edge to staff, just build it into the prices.

I came here during brunch and got their prefixed brunch 3 course ($50). This came with a drink ,…read morepastries, and the three course meal. For starters I got the French onion soup which came out in about 20 minutes. Soup was very solid and had more of a purée taste which was surprisingly good. The pasties especially the chocolate croissants were also delicious. After another 25 minutes the main dishes came out. I got the fillet which came with a peppercorn glaze (amazing!) and crispy potato pie. Fillet was cooked to correct medium rare temperature and tasted delicious! For desert, I got the cheesecake with raspberry! It was really rich and delicious! The raspberry puree provided a nice tart taste to go alongside the sweetness! Staff were very friendly and the service for this entire meal was about an hour thru. A very delicious place restaurant that I'd gladly come back to if I'm in the area!

Wife started with a Cosmo and an old fashion for me. Great drinks and nice pour as well. My wife had the lobster and I had the shrimp dish. Both were absolutely amazeballs.

I just had my first experience here with my roomate. We shared charcuterie, olives,…read more focaccia grilled cheese with apple butter, and a jasmine green ferment. It was superb. So much food came out that our plan at a midday snack became our dinner. Half of the grilled cheese made its way back home. I especially liked the Brie, whipped ricotta, and speck on the charcuterie board. The grilled cheese was perfectly balanced with the apple butter and mustard as well. We also got roasted red peppers as a surprise. Those and the olives were again, superb! We ate in the dead of winter, and left fully warmed by our meal. I can imagine the ambiance in the summer to be delightful when they open their outdoor patio! One thing to note if it's your first time. We sat ourselves and ordered at a register for our food. It was brought to us by friendly staff. Afterwards we bussed our glassware and left our plates.

Jardin is a pretty great spot for a casual wine outing. Not really a place you'd go for a full meal…read moreif you're starving , though they do have some sandwiches and light bites but again if you're really hungry, you might want to eat beforehand. The atmosphere is where this place really shines to me: cozy, chill, and super inviting. It's a great spot to unwind with friends in the evening to chat and catch up. They have a solid charcuterie selection and a nice variety of wines that I can truly appreciate. If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate spot to catch up with friends over a glass Jardin is absolutely worth checking out.

I go to Bird Girl regularly…read more Beer selection is unmatched. Truly unique things in cans from the best breweries all over the country. Available for consumption on or off site. They're always kind. Super cute indoor space and yard with picnic tables outsides. Pizza is phenomenal, my dad says the Sharpie Tattoo is the best pizza he has ever eaten. Love their rotating weekly specials. Try them if you have not!

This is kinda long, sorry. I usually do not leave reviews,…read morelaziness mostly, but there just hasn't been a place that really blew me away. I've been in the industry for over 25 years grew up with the "the best pizza places" in Queens..... blah, blah, and tbh I am kinda a snob too, I know how hard a kitchen is. But I can also tell when a restaurant just puts crap out because if they don't no more job.. but this friggin place has that special something that you can automatically tell that there is actually love put into everything. It's just one of those places. I honestly have not been this amazed by pizza in years. It's all the same. It was like having pizza for the first time again. This is 100% a BOH PLACE. Between the crazy quality of the beer selection and that sauce holy crap I'm going to dream about that damn sauce! I say that this is a restaurant for restaurant people but anyone would be floored by this place. GREAT F'N JOB Just go. Had to buy a hat to represent this great addition to the area Maybe this will help Hilton Village become a destination to eat, drink and bar hop. Who the hell needs 75 architects and lawyers??? More food and more people with passion!

4/17/2026 What a…read moregreat find! The Curio Staff was welcoming and friendly, from the gentleman serving as a "doorman" of sorts to the counter staff. I had just come from a hair appointment down the street and on my way back to my car, I noticed Sangria advertised on the mini sandwich board outside. I'm a HUGE fan of a glass of fruity Sangria on a hot day! The fact that it was Happy Hour with $5 glasses made it even easier to draw me inside!! When I explained this was my first visit, they explained the Curio concept, the various areas for sitting, sipping and gathering as well as the Curio Card process. They even had a small but really intriguing menu of various snacks, from charcuterie to flatbread and even dessert. The menu changes a couple times a month, making me want to plan more visits! The staff offered me sips of each so I could decide on a Sangria flavor. Despite not being a Moscato fan, I chose the Moscato Mule Sangria. It was light, refreshing and had the Moscow Mule flavors with the added sweetness of Moscato wine. I wandered into the cellar to explore more wine offerings and wound up running into fellow educators and their friends I had never met. We chatted like we were catching up and laughed about shared birthdays and teaching!! They invited me to hang with them, but I had to get home for Dog Mom Duty. We exchanged numbers so we could plan another "run-in" downtown SOON! If you haven't visited Curio, I HIGHLY recommend it. Bring a friend, or plan on making a few. Next time, I'll be ordering food with my wine and lingering much longer! Thanks for a great end to my week. See y'all soon! Cheers!

Curio was introduced to me by a friend and I am obsessed with this place. So many different seating…read moreareas to choose from, I always opt for the basement. The service is wonderful, with staff being very knowledgeable about the wines. What I love is the fact that you can taste as many wines as you want to once you've loaded up your Curio card. You can also choose a 2oz or 3oz pour instead if you already know what you want. I haven't tried the food here yet, but I'll definitely be coming back for the cinnamon spiced sangria and the mulled wine (must be bought from the bar. Not available on tap.) A must for all wine lovers.

This place surprised me! The pictures on Yelp did not do it justice…read more We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended so we were able to squeeze in $7 strawberry mojito and $9 ceviche Mahi Mahi. The mojito was great. Not too sweet and you can taste the mint. My husband got the Oaxaca old fashion which he said was good. The ceviche's presentation looked disappointing but the flavors made up for it. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the mahi mahi very well. My husband said it was the best ceviche he's ever had For entrees I got the 10 oz picanha. They actually give you two pieces of steak and I took the other one home. It was cooked perfectly to a medium rare with great smokiness. The green beans were a little salty. The yuca was good. My husband liked the filet but I think the picanha was better. Out of all the sauces we chose the chimichurri sauce which complimented the steaks very well. Service was really quick and attentive.

They take reservations! Yay!…read more This place has plenty of parking which is nice. We had never tried this place before so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the picanha tacos with rice. It was delicious! I wish the tacos had some kind of sauce on top, maybe like a chimichurri sauce? The service was pretty good. The inside set up is a bit wonky and sometimes the sun comes in through the windows blinding you. We had to move tables. I'd go back!
