Had the best experience! Food was great atmosphere perfect for colonial times. We truly enjoyed our New Years dinner.
Great lunch menu if you want to try it out.
I think the HVAC system was down. It was so hot in this building that I became sick while eating. The only relief was going further downstairs in the building to where the privies are located. It was hotter in this building downstairs where we are than it was outside.

The tavern, located in Colonial Williamsburg, has a charming atmosphere with period furniture and decorations. The menu 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 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.
