“We love this place! staff is amazing and the place has great food and an awesome bar!“

“We ate here today.The food was excellent. We had the shrimp boat as an appetizer. Enough for two. My husband had the combo, potroast & meatloaf with mashed potatoes & gravy, along with creamed spinach. I had the crab-a-bella with jasmine rice. Our server was Brandon C. This was our 2nd visit during our vacation. We encourage all to visit this resturant.“

“I had French onion soup. It was delicious. Lots of cheese! And loaded corn bread with honey butter served hot still in the skillet! I also ordered the veggie burger. I asked what was in the burger the waiter said garbanzo beans #allergygirl I thought great I can eat those! But when it came there were lots of other things in there (I know my fault for not being more detailed in my questioning). The waiter could not offer any details even after going to the kitchen. Better safe than sorry I decided not to eat it. The waiter made it easy by taking it off my bill.“

“Everything was obviously home made. Best meal I have had in 30 years. Food and staff were a 15 out of 10. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great breakfast spot, one of my 2 spots that I frequent for breakfast when in Williamsburg.“

“Great service and great food. Been three times and each time I’ve gotten Caesar salad that i shared with my husband. Best Caesar salad we’ve ever had. And also got the Huntsman Chicken as known as chicken parmesean the best anywhere. My husband had their salmon dish he said it was the best he ever had. Highly recommend“

“Great lunch spot! Neat to grab a bite while watching planes take off and land. The food is excellent, try the Reuben on brown bread or the chili.“

“Dinner for 2 last weekend was delicious like before...stuffed pork chops and broiled scallops. Will be back again.“

“The food is excellent and our server Matthew was the best! He was personable, excellent communicator, knowledgeable, attentive and we enjoyed getting to know him. Everything we ate was delicious. Center Street Grill is a hidden gem in Williamsburg that we stumbled on thanks to a post on Neighbor to Neighbor. When I read the post I had to check out and I am so glad my husband and our good friend did. We were not disappointed and ready to go back! We will definitely add Center Street Grill to our go to place for date night and a hang out with friends!! I highly recommend!“

“Derrick our waiter was exceptional! My daughter and I recently went to a luncheon program in the Regency Room. Other years there has been a buffet, but this time it was a set plate affair. Flank steak was on the menu! My daughter is vegetarian! I quietly inquired of Derrick if a vegetarian plate was possible? As he brought everyone at our table their meat meal, he set a vegetable meal in front of her! She was surprised and delighted! He saved the day!“

“A fun place for family night out or date night! Awesome food & great service.“

“The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with an elegant atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a high-end dining experience. The staff were attentive and professional throughout the evening, which added to the overall sense of care and refinement. There were some standout dishes. My husband thoroughly enjoyed both his salad and the vegetable chowder, noting that they were flavorful and well-prepared. However, I was disappointed with the preparation of the redfish, which was cut into small, thin pieces and served with the skin left on—something I didn't find particularly appetizing. While the accompanying tossed salad with peas and the overall flavor of the dish were good, the dish felt underwhelming and not very satisfying. The ribeye also fell short of expectations, as it contained quite a bit of gristle, which detracted from what should have been a premium cut of meat. Overall, while the ambiance and service were excellent, the execution of some key dishes left room for improvement.“

“Craft 31 is my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg, but this dinner in particular was the best experience we've ever had!! Our waitress was outstanding, and the manager was so kind. We dined in with our 1 year old baby, and the entire staff kept interacting with her and complimenting how cute she was. We felt so special and taken care of, truly an amazing visit. 10000/10!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Another great night at the Aberdeen Barn. Drinks and appetizers at the bar. Enjoyed an awesome conversation with a couple from Bethesda. The bartender, Ron, did a great job making all of us feel welcome.“

“Second time this year we visited. Wonderful food, great service. Worth the wait. We really enjoyed the entire experience.“

“What a wonderful evening we had! We sat at the bar and were offered cocktail suggestions and pairings. The food was absolutely wonderful. The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating. The chef/owner came to see us after dinner too! We will remember this as one of our the best nights out!“

“Outstanding seafood, a welcoming atmosphere, and impeccable service. Easily one of the best seafood restaurants in Williamsburg. Already looking forward to my next visit!“

“This place was clean, food was great but the service was lacking.“

“Yes. They do give you a lot of steak, but the taste is so bland. At least throw some Montreal seasoning on it. Folks think it's good now if you do that it's really gonna do well. I give it a 6.2 out of 10“

“We enjoyed another exceptional dining experience at the King’s Arms Tavern this evening, marking our fourth visit. The outstanding cuisine and service were truly commendable.“

“Great Atmosphere!! Great Food!!“

“you have to try the cinnamon swirl pancakes. awesome! and you'll get at least 2 meals out of one order.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience from the welcoming greeters at the door to our wonderful server. The food was amazing from pea soup to steak to dessert, and the punch bowl! The Pringle’s ginger beer drink was very good, too. My daughter loved the oysters. It was a wholesome experience with live music and authenticity in the details (even the silverware is made in Williamsburg). It was also a treat to eat somewhere where historical figures dined in colonial times, but also really an art form to serve a menu inspired by recipes from the 1700s (and everything tasted amazing and fresh). The service was pretty impeccable for the whole staff (lots of servers, greeters, and staff).“

“Best donut shop we have ever been to -- fresh made-to-order donuts with an endless variety of toppings. Such a hit with the kids to see the donuts made. We appreciate the low menu with pictures for them to select their favorites! Customer service was friendly and informative about the options and processes. Price was great for the quality and flavor of the donuts.
We wished we had purchased a dozen instead of just 6! :)
This will be our new favorite go-to shop when we visit the area - highly recommend!“

“We Truly Enjoyed Our Recent Mother’s Day Brunch!!!!! The Service Was Great & Our Meals Were Delish ?“

“Absolutely a fantastic experience in every aspect. From the welcoming staff, upscale club house, impressive and well manicured golf course, restaurant workers, etc….my wife and I had a day we will never forget. We will definitely be back again.“

“We drive from Newport News every few months! Food is delicious and service is excellent!“

“We enjoyed our dinner and our server, Jared, was attentive. The choice of a 70's radio station was a bit odd and even though I like the music, it would have been a more pleasant dining experience if the volume was a little lower.“

“Very welcoming place. Everyone is nice especially the waitress. Food is good and prices are reasonable.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Friendly staff. Chill atmosphere.“

“Love Aromas! My fiancé and I were in town for the weekend, we were recommended to Aromas from a local and it did not disappoint! The coffee (cold brew and latte) was great, the food was filling and fast and the atmosphere was lovely! We will be back next time we are in town!!“

“The food, service, and ambiance were all so lovely. From start to finish, it was a great experience! Would recommend and will definitely be going again. Melissa was a fantastic server.“

“I just celebrated a three day Family Teunion at the Colonial Heritage Club. Corey Pollack the facility Director of Happiness was amazing. The entire staff was are five to our needs all weekend.“

“It's been far too long since my last visit here, and I am delighted that today's lunch more than lived up to my memory! I ordered my favorite, the chicken Cæsar salad, and it was fresh, crunchy, and full of shredded rotisserie chicken. My dining companions had the steak-frîtes and the bœuf Bourguignon - the steak was apparently just a *bit* overcooked but the truffle fries are to die for. The bœuf Bourguignon was incredible, the sauce deeply flavorful and unctuous. My cucumber cocktail was light and refreshing, and glory hallelujah, they've brought back the big bowl of chocolate mousse that I haven't seen since before lockdown (so yummy I forgot to take a photo). The mousse is delightfully smooth and not too sweet, a perfect end to the meal. Our server was lovely, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu (I don't remember her name, but she has Rainbow Fish earrings!) I left with an utterly content stomach, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice owner and big portions.“

“I plead the 5th but willing to give it another chance!“

“Trivia is the best! People behind the bar are cool and helpful!“

“The House Dressing. IYKYK“

“the cleanest buffet we have been to fresh food all employees were very pleasant“

“Had the best experience! Food was great atmosphere perfect for colonial times. We truly enjoyed our New Years dinner.“

“Let me preface this review by saying…. I NEVER review places… good or bad. But this longhorn is amazing.

I have been to this long horn 10-15 times in the last 8 years. And the service, food and quality have always been absolutely amazing. Even when they say it is a 15-45 minute wait. I have been at a table within no less than 10 minutes. Very fast and professional service and quality.

This is compaired not only to other restaurants in the area, but the longhorns in Newport News and Hampton; which routinely suck terribly. I will drive an extra 20-40 minutes if I’m in the mood to longhorn to come to this Williamsburg location.

Steaks are always cooked perfectly, even for my picky 6 year old who loves the steak. An the sweet potato is amazing. Literally have never had ONE bad bite of food or sip of a drink.“
