    A perfect romantic dinner! Nothing didn’t impress us here… the decor in the room, the live piano player, our waiter, the food… it was all meticulously executed. The cherry on top was the mini history story that our waiter gave us. Such a nice evening!

    After a serving assistant brought us water, we waited 25 min because the assigned server did not attend table. Finally another ( outstanding! ) server, noticed the problem and began "damage control " by serving us. A manager thoughtfully spoke with us at length during the meal to assess the cause of the staff and kitchen failures. My food was excellent but the delays of the evening ruined the experiece. [Some financial compensation might have been justified. ] It was our second dinner in the Rockefeller Room in a year and we agreed it has doesn't warrant it's pretense of fine dining.

    The Rockefeller Room, which replaced the Regency Room as the premier dining venue in the Williamsburg Inn has seen few changes over the past decade. But, last night’s experience was perhaps the biggest and strangest change. The entrance to the restaurant has been moved to a side door away from the entrance to the Restoration Lounge and Terrace Room restaurant. The piano has been moved to RIGHT BEHIND our table. This position is also where the music system is located when not being entertained by a human you’re ears are being assaulted by recorded VERY LOUD sounds. Thankfully it didn’t take long before a staff member could figure out how to lower the volume. These changes in the floor plan were not well thought out. Whenever our server stood at our table he was CONSTANTLY being bumped into from other servers passing through. This might explain why he dropped the FIRST bottle of fine champagne which lost most of its contents onto my wife’s pants and shoe! Attempts were made to clean up the spillage but since the misses didn’t want to exasperate the matter by blocking the ONLY WALKWAY to the kitchen we went back to trying to enjoy ourselves. NOTHING WAS DONE BY MANAGEMENT TO “make the matter right”. Now to the food. The new menu is styled after a steakhouse menu (ala Ruth’s Chris). And from someone who has been dining at the Inn for 3+ decades it was a welcome change (as opposed to some other changes). This meant “ala carte”. And I suspect many of you are savvy enough that you’re thinking: just another way to charge more, but if you chose to eat here then you know what to expect. The Grilled Octopus was prepared sufficiently different from most other restaurants we’ve enjoyed it at to have us surprised. There wasn’t the overwhelming charcoal flavor and it was remarkably tender. The toppings for my Oysters Rockefeller were delicate and crispy while the local oysters were soft, and sweet and not overpowered by the toppings. The remaining 21 characters are not

    Food was barely edible halibut and cache Pepe was not even recognizable yet barely edible Child’s steak was $45 which is a disgraceful price for a child’s meal. Vey little friendly choices for kids Love the Williamsburg inn. Very upscale good value for the money but this restaurant does not have the same standards. Reservation was 6:30. Never got entries til 8 pm. Very long evening with 2 children Atmosphere was lovely

    Beyond Outstanding! The new menu is a hit, and ala carte. The chef is to be commended on the selection, preparation, and quality. My wife and I have always wanted to eat in the Rockefeller Room and it surely did not disappoint. The service was impeccable and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We will be back again!

    My husband and I had an amazing Anniversary dinner at The Rockefeller Room. Every course was delicious and perfectly paired with the Chef's wine selections. Our server, Ryan, was very attentive and friendly. While it was very pricey, it was a dining experience that we will forever remember. We can't wait to come back next year!
