    This is one of our favorite restaurants. We arrived early, but they were able to seat us. Food is marvelous from appetizers to dessert. My husband said the crab cakes were the best he’s ever had!! I also recommend the apple cider hot buttered rum — delicious and comforting on a cold night.

    Having grown up in Williamsburg I'm very familiar with Barret's, we brought my Dad for a late "Thanksgiving" meal. My partner and Dad both had the grouper/seafood meal and I ordered the Ribeye. My steak was unfortunately overcooked. After telling our server she apologetically returned it to the kitchen and I ended up ordering the pork belly and scallops starter which was delicious. At the end of our meal we were pleasantly surprised that both had been taken off our bill, which I can say we didn't request or expect at all. This is what a great restaurant does and why we will continue to frequent Berrets in Williamsburg. I want to thank the server Shane and the manager for making this a special meal with my Dad. You all are top notch!

    Took advantage of the $1 oysters, and they were terrific. Our server, Amy, was fantastic. Knowledgeable about the menu, timely with refills, friendly and professional. Entrees were beautifully plated, piping hot, and the seafood fresh and perfectly cooked. Berret’s is a place we love to frequent when in town.

    Oysters great as always. Order one course at a time or your app will be sitting next to your entree. Beer not very cold, glasses not chilled. Not like it used to be…. Leave it for the tourists!
