    Was seated the instant I walked to the hostess station, I had reservations but it was still so fast. Staff very nice and accomadating. I had the Pecan Salmon with shrimp over grits. Delicious. The portion size was very good. I ordered a cup of she crab soup. So filling because it was a big cup. More bowl than cup. Nice. I left stuffed but with leftovers.

    Meal and service were okay. The food was little pricey for the quality received. My meal temperature wise wasn’t perfect. Need to do a better job with meal runners.

    The service was outstanding, the food delicious (seafood quesadilla - must have seafood when you dine here!), the colonial ambiance adds to the experience as Berret's restaurant is located near the College of William & Mary and Market Square in Williamsburg, Virginia. If you love oysters, this is the place to dine. Heads up: make a reservation as this is a very popular restaurant for visitors and locals.

    Very enjoyable dinner at Berret’s on a Sunday night in beautiful Williamsburg. Quiet ambience provided a nice venue for family conversations. All of the food specials were pretty good and the hot buttered rum hit the spot on a very cold night.

    Berret’s was a good eating experience!! We had a reservation and were seated immediately. So unusual. Yummy entrees and great service (James). Super Christmas decorations! Fun experience. It was our first visit but won’t be our last. Thanks!
