Terrace Room

Went over to the Inn for dinner and was not disappointed. We started the evening with a lovely bottle of Saratoga still water and some adult beverages. I had the Abby's Rose and it was delicious. We were presented with some bread and butter to begin with (the butter is in an absolutely adorable dish on the table). The shrimp cocktail was probably the biggest "disappointment" of the evening, but that's a stretch. My only issue was the cocktail sauce had some odd herbs in it--- I would have preferred a more typical sauce. There were four large shrimp in the cocktail. For dinner I had the filet and WOW it was delicious! Perfect sear and flavor. Mashed potatoes and veggies were also amazing as well. None of the desserts struck me (and everything had milk in it that evening as well) so we skipped. Our server, Trayvon, was wonderful and provided excellent service throughout the meal without being obtrusive. The ambiance is truly modern classic and not stuffy at all. I would not hesitate to return for another meal!

I would definitely recommend this restaurant while staying at the Inn. It was great food and great service. Everything was top notch!

We stayed at the Colonial Houses and got breakfast here as part of our hotel stay package. Walking in, we did not know what to expect. Immediately, we felt underdressed and out of place in our "touring Colonial Williamsburg on foot" clothes... But we went ahead anyway! I had the blueberry stuffed pancakes which were truly to die for. Husband had a sampler which he said was okay. Service was absolutely phenomenal and the room was beautiful. This is definitely not a place we would typically go, as it felt very "fancy," but since it was included in our package I'm glad we took advantage! Would definitely go back if it was included in another package... and with nicer clothes on! :-)

Was a pleasant surprise to be able to get a reservation on Mothers Day. It says casual attire however for dinner, most are more casual elegant. Our service was friendly and helpful in helping me chose a drink to try. The drinks were delicious, a tad on the pricey side but these are our times.I opted for the brisket short rib burger and it was the most flavorful burger I've ever had! I could only finish half of the burger. Very nice ambiance.

Making reservations was a breeze over the phone. The Terrace room seems to be more suitable for groups of four or less, whereas the Goodwin Room is tailored for larger gatherings. It's very cozy and elegantly appointed. Our server was a delight! Her laughter and cheerful spirit made the experience that much more enjoyable! She is very personable!The menu is very limited, which can be a blessing or a hindrance based on your perspective. The portions are what you would expect at an upscale restaurant. However, the chicken pot pie did look more filling. The two in our group were happy with their meal, and said it had more of a soupy consistency versus a gravy style. My husband and I wanted to sample two different dishes, so I opted for the brisket and rib burger with fries and he ordered the salmon. Both were flavorful and delicious. But my husband and I were still hungry after. It may have been that we hadn't eaten lunch earlier. Three of us had mocktails, two which were a fall Granada spice drink and the other one which was essentially a lemonade. My husband had a real drink, an old Timey, which he said was good, but as expected was pricey. We all ordered dessert from three choices. One was a flourless chocolate cake, a banana foster creme brûlée, and a blood orange panna cotta tart which was more a beehive meringue with a blood orange sorbet inside on a bed of spiced crumble. I was politely steered away from the blood orange panna cotta tart, however my curiosity got the best of me . I'm laughing because I should have listened to our server. It wasn't terrible, but not as delicious or creamy and decadent as their creme brûlée or flourless cake. If you like tangy, sugary and crunchy the blood orange panna cotta tart would be the right option.The views from the Terrace room of the putting green is wonderful. This is a nice convenient option if you're staying on the premise or sister resorts and like to be tucked away. You can have a "fancy" meal with high prices and not have to dress up, as there is no dress code and it's considered casual, upscale dining. You can find other restaurants with a lesser price point, or same price point with more options and tastier options, but when you dine here you are paying for the ambiance and service. It was not crowded when we dined at 5:15pm and our waters were always replenished and our plates promptly removed. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and to be honest the reviews I've read on TripAdvisor and Yelp made it a toss up on deciding to eat here. I decided to just experience the food/restaurant myself. I went in with certain expectations and wasn't disappointed. I just left with a bit of lingering hunger ;-)It was a pleasant experience, to try at least ONCE.

Another wonderful dinner at the Terrace Room with a new seasonal menu starting today. Staff was well versed on the new selections. As always service was excellent. Ambiance is elegant yet comfortable.

First appearance was great and elegant. Walking into classical style dining area with everything matching perfectly. Server was nice and helpful. The bread and butter was nothing special. Our chocolate and catcher in the rye martini was great. Appetizers oyster was great very tasty with a hint of flowery and spicy. Salmon was nothing special that didn't not leave a lasting memory. The 1937 burger at a lot going on. Meat was great, lobster was missing felt like it need a bit more butter, the bun had too much sesame seeds and the fries was spot on best tasting fries we ever had. Crème brûlée and chocolate dessert was on point. Took too long to get the check back after giving payment. Understandable that they may have been busy with two weeding there but the dining area wasn't too busy. Still worth going back.

Wonderful fixed price breakfast and their dinner was also delicious. The customer service was excellent every time. Best breakfast at colonial Williamsburg.

The ambiance of the Terrace Room is lovely, a worthy setting for this elegant Inn. The food did the Inn proud: well prepared, nicely presented. What failed was the service. The wine service was particularly inept: a 2015 Bordeaux carelessly handled--cork broken; initial pour dumped into the glass without elegance and an amount far beyond what it should have been. Service was abrupt and rushed. No elegance here. No chance for a leisurely dinner. Interruptions included attempts to clear plates while one diner was still eating. Clearly training of wait staff is not adequate. This was our second time dining at the Terrace Room, and it mirrors that of our first experience. It's about those who fail to provide the service that reflects well of the Williamsburg Inn.

Beautiful setting. Service excellentAnd that's where it stopsWe started out with the charcuterie board. Nice but for $28. Not worth itMy husband had the Pork Schnitzel He said it was overcooked and dry. That it was the worst he had ever had and the price was$39! For me I ordered the roasted chicken at $45. Ridiculous for roasted chicken. And it was really dryThe desserts. Though very pretty. Tasted bland. And those were $14. Food ..just fair to poor and way overpriced Maybe breakfast is better. I don't know but we won't be back. Williamsburg has a lot of great restaurants. This is not one of them!My chicken was dry. My husband had the
