Restaurants near Colonial National Historical Park

It’s a magical time right now at The Gabriel Archer Tavern and the Williamsburg Winery! The holiday decorations are absolutely lovely, especially the lights outside! Our evening was perfect! David, our server, was wonderful! He brought complimentary Champagne to our four gentlemen, all celebrating birthdays! He reported to Chef that the couscous was a tad bit salty. He was delightful. Jenna, the Manager, came over to say hello and to see how our table of friends was doing. She also took the most amazing photo of our group outside by the lighted tree! Cheers to 5+++ ⭐️’s. Our evening there is a lovely memory, and we look forward to many more! 🍷🍾🥂

The heater is loud outside but that’s to be expected. I love this place but the experience is always up or down. This time it was excellent!

My cowboy steak was outstanding. Very attentive staff who assist each other and work together well as a team. Our waitress and two other waitstaff as well as a manager all visited our table. Opus 9 is not cheap so we can’t visit as often as we would like, but they are a cut above almost everyone else and it is a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, and other special occasions. Highly recommend!

Food was quite tasty, everyone enjoyed their food. One glitch was that they were short staffed and we waited close to an hour for our food, but we talked and had great conversation and savors all of our food.

The beef kebab and the stuffed eggplant were both excellent . Both were served with salad, vegetables , rice and tzatziki making them a complete , tasty meal. The baklava would have been very good had it not been too cold, just out of the fridge. Were it not for it I would have given 5 stars. The service was very very good and friendly , typical of a restaurant run by the owner. We very much appreciated the white linen tablecloths. We will be in Williamsburg for one week and we plan to go back, this time probably for lunch .
