The Gabriel Archer Tavern was built in 1987 on footprints of an old farm shed. Today, its mission is to provide a memorable farm-to-table dining experience that's both delicious and nourishing.

In addition to a half-acre produce garden and greenhouse on site where lettuces and herbs will be grown, our chef works hard to find local farmers as partners in producing a menu oriented towards fresh and seasonal specialties.

Our wide variety of fresh selections from our unique menu will guarantee that everyone in your party leaves with a smile.

    We had lunch at Gabriel Archer's twice while in Williamsburg. Both were very, very good. We'll definitely go back.

    Good food, awesome setting but a bit noisy due to the large party but it's expected given the time of year.

    The food was good. However as a diabetic trying to limit carbs the menu was absolutely carb filled. Also the noise level in the restaurant was so high as to be painful.

    Perfect! Our party of 4 arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation, but they gladly accommodated and seated us quickly. The food was great and well priced. And of course, the wine was divine! Great atmosphere and beautiful location. Will be back for sure.

    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! 🍷🍾🥂

    Our third dining experience at GAT. Food is creative and delicious. Of course, the wine is excellent, and service is always exceptional.
