Shields Tavern offers a unique dining experience, serving delicious southern comfort food in an 18th-century setting. The tavern, located in Colonial Williamsburg, has a charming atmosphere with period furniture and decorations. The menu, although limited, features a three-course dinner with dishes like fried chicken, chicken fricassee, and pie. The ambiance is enhanced by historical tidbits shared by the staff, and occasionally, live music such as a flute player adds to the special atmosphere. The food is flavorful and generous in portions, with favorites like leg of lamb and roasted root vegetables. The soup starter, carrot and apple bisque, is savory and enjoyable, and the dessert options include rhubarb crumble and pudding with lavender cookies. The servers, dressed in period attire, provide excellent service, and the overall experience is memorable. Reservations are highly recommended, and the prices are appropriate for the fare. Shields Tavern is a great place to immerse oneself in Colonial Williamsburg's charm and enjoy a flavorful, historic meal.
