Bistros in Williamsburg, VA

“I would say the Blue Talon is a 4.5 star restaurant but I’m rounding up since Google doesn’t allow half stars. The food is very good for a small town location. We tried a few classic French dishes including beef bourguignon and duck cassoulet. The dishes were extremely flavorful and everything was fresh. The sauces were exceptional. The bread was also excellent and worth the extra charge. Everything was prepared with careful thought and skill. My only complaint is the meat wasn’t as tender as it could have been because it was browned too long. We ordered the mousse at the end and it was fun to see the chef dishing it out like he was sharing it with his own family. The restaurant itself has a very beautiful atmosphere and the service is what you would expect for an upscale establishment. It feels like there is a lot of history at this restaurant and they continue to live up to it today. If you are in Williamsburg it is well worth visiting the Blue Talon.“
