We celebrated a milestone birthday at the Terrace and had a truly lovely experience. The food, ambiance, and service were all outstanding, and the staff went out of their way to add a thoughtful birthday touch that made the evening especially memorable. Highly recommended.

Our server Lily was amazing. Pleasant and efficient with the correct amount of attention. Very pleasing and enjoyable! The appearance of the room is beautiful. The wide doors to the bar area were open and the noise was not enjoyable when trying to have a conversation, along with the expected fine dining experience. The smaller walk-through section to the bar had a portion of the counter that could be lifted, and the same bar staff individual dropped it each and every time she entered. Incredibly rude and jarring. Food: My pork medallions were perfect. The brussel sprouts were too charred to be entirely pleasing. My husband's seafood pot pie was not hot enough but he didn't say anything as to reheat it would have probably made the seafood unappetizing. Overall the experience did not meet expectations, though Lily was a consistent delight. I don't think we would return.

This was our second visit to the Williamsburg Inn for dinner. It's been so enjoyable that we plan on dining there whenever we visit Colonial Williamsburg.

Had a lovely evening, great service and food - perfect after coming back from the fireworks

If you like to dine with dogs this is the place for you. The manager allowed a dog to sit with a customer even though the dog was not a service dog. My wife is allergic to dogs and it is a violation of Virginia law to allow a non-service dog in an indoor dining room. We promptly left.

A lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful setting. We noticed a marked improvement from previous visits, that the service was much more warm & gracious this time, as you should expect with afternoon tea, but had been lacking in previous visits.

One of the best breakfasts I've had in 73 years! The sweet potato “flapjacks” were incredible as was their real sausage and country ham. Their signature biscuit was also delicious! Very attentive staff especially Jerry.
Alan
Food was very disappointing. Grilled green tomatoes were cold and raw!, the dish did not work at all. The signature burger was chewy and the onion jam was too sweet and sickly.

The Terrace Room is one of my favorite places to eat. It is quieter than most places. Some of the staff have been there for years and it is nice to see familiar faces. Food is always good and portions are not oversized as in some Williamsburg restaurants. I always have at least one meal here when I am in town.

Honestly the experience was not worth the price, the food was okay and there was a very loud wedding happening outside. We really only go out like this once a year for our anniversary. While nothing was outright bad, we left feeling a bit disappointed when reflecting on the experience as a whole.
It was an expensive meal. The wait time for the meal was long but with that said, they did not push you out the door. Beautiful place to dine. Wait staff was very good.
Chris
Menu was very limited. Food was mediocre. Hard to ruin a Caesar Salad but they did. My fish was lukewarm and my husband's steak was overcooked. Desserts -no chocolate! Would not eat there again.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. The Terrace room is pretty fancy and definitely high end. The food is quite good but very pricy. The service is very good as well. My wife has a lot of dietary restrictions so the waitress has to be patient to get the order in and ourw was. Thought the food is quite good, I am not sure it justfies the high price. No real complaints though other than the steep bill.

Stephen is a fabulous server, but all the extra helpers are so professional. The room gives a long ago upper class feeling that is just special.

Our server was amazing went above and beyond... but the food needs flavor we had to add salt to everything to give it even some taste but atmosphere and service was on point
