    We often order the Caesar salad and margarita pizza which we split. Both are excellent and they come with a basket of just out of the oven rolls. It is a very delicious lunch for $30.

    We enjoyed celebrating our 46 wedding anniversary. The crab cakes were the largest and nicest I’ve ever eaten. The trout had a little more breading than he liked. The sweet potato muffins were perfection. The Irish flute entertainment was very enjoyable. Dining by candlelight was very romantic. This is an historic building and is not handicapped friendly. The restroom is downstairs. Parking is in the back and where you enter the drive is not obvious and down the street—hard to see after dark. The menu is historic style and fun to read. We love to eat here on every visit to Colonial Williamsburg. I make reservations several months in advance.

    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 .
