Restaurants near Holiday Inn Patriot-Williamsburg

For many years my parents, my husband and I have been meeting at Opus 9 for dinner. The food is always good and tonight was no different. Each steak from a petite filet to the sirloin was cooked to perfection. The salads, Caesar and spinach, were crisp and tasty. The spinach salad was a bit overdressed, so I would order the dressing on the side next time. The sides, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and potatoes au gratin were delicious. We had a bit of a mishap, a champagne cocktail spilled all over my dad, at the beginning but that was tidied up promptly and we were comped dessert for the trouble.

As usual, tonight was a wonderful dining experience. The holiday decorations, the warmth of the fireplace, and the delicious food who could ask for more! But of course, you add our server, Gail, and you have a perfect night.

We have come here several times for Christmas Dinner and have decided that it is now our holiday tradition. Outstanding service and delightful ambiance. We really enjoyed the harp player and the candlelight. The prix fixe menu had options for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. My husband had the angus beef and I had the barley risotto. The crab cake appetizer was the size of a dinner cake and paired perfectly with the squash hash bed upon which it was served. Dinner was so filling that we got our peppermint chocolate cake to go. The waitstaff is wonderful. Charming and well trained. We were not rushed at all and could savor the entire experience. Well worth the money!

Food, service and ambience are all top notch. Crab croquettes are excellent but on the smaller side so consider that if sharing. The choat (pork shanks) were amazing ; my family member stating that it was the best food he ever ate. Salmon was a hit also. Prime Rib was very good but I will order the choat next visit.

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.
