Restaurants near Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center

The food is as tasty and perfect as possible, in my opinion. The service provided by the professional staff is also as good as it gets in a reasonably priced eating establishment. This particular Opus 9 in Williamsburg, Virginia is my default go-to for THE special occasion in my life, my marriage anniversary. I just met a new-to-me server, Jacob, who is a standout on his way to bigger goals. My wife of 47 years and I were impressed by Jacob’s attention to detail and his positive attitude for sure. I recommend Opus 9 and especially Jacob.

Stephen was wonderful! Very attentive, articulate, and knowledgeable. Our 15 month old son loved him. Food was wonderful! Atmosphere was wonderful! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in history and loved a good meal. The soup was delicious, dinner was second to none, AND the desserts were delicious! It is a must when in town.

She crab soup and fried oysters were excellent. Remoulade sauce was off and tasted like mustard. Bread was delicious. Hubby had salad with grouper addition. Excellent. Generous pouring of pinot grigio. Would go again.

Le Yaca lived up to all the hype on social media, Trip Advisor, Yelp, and Open Table. I had booked our reservations 7 months out in advance of our Thanksgiving trip to Williamsburg. Every aspect of our dining experience was great. Check in was easy and pleasant and we were seated promptly. Our server, Gail was cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She guided us through the considerable selections and offered the special Belon oyster appetizer to add to our choices. The menu offered the choice of ordering à la carte, 2, 3 ($50 or $65 options), or 5 courses ($90). We opted for the 3 course selection (1 @ $50, 1 @ $65). My choice included a unique preparation of French onion soup (so velvety, cheesy and delicious!), a delicate, flavorful exquisitely prepared Scottish salmon with a buttery lemon sauce and thin, peeled lemon garnish served over a bed of perfectly cooked spinach. Good to the last delectable bite! My husband also enjoyed the French onion soup starter, then the coquilles St. Jacques, a beautifully baked dish of large scallops perfectly cooked with a cheesy crust. Asparagus was an accompaniment. We had also ordered a combination of baked and raw Belon oysters to share. Both were excellent—raw were sweet and plump; baked were also sweet served in a delicate light lemony butter sauce. Desserts were also good. One tiramisu and one very light lemon chiffon concoction served with strawberries and raspberry coulis. Le Yaca—a must for an exceptional dinner! Ask for Gail as your server. She was great!

The food was delicious, and plenty of it. This was our third trip to Williamsburg, and we’ve had dinner at several of the Colonial restaurants but Christiana’s was the best. The baked Oysters were excellent, after five hours I’m still thinking about them. My wife had the Turkey and I Roast Beef, both were moist and cooked to perfection. The sides were Mashed Potato and Stuffing, both delicious. FYI: The Stuffing was to die for. Some how we found room for dessert. Chocolate Cake, Apple Pie. Still thinking about them too. Thank you Christiana Campbells and your staff for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
