Description: One of the best-kept secrets in Williamsburg, this lovely Country French-inflected restaurant is located inside Wedmore Place, the luxury hotel on the grounds of the Williamsburg Winery. The kitchen emphasis is on “house-made,” beginning with a produce garden on the property that provides fresh vegetables and herbs. Fish, seafood, and steaks are all of the highest quality, accompanied by inventive side dishes like roasted wild mushrooms, mascarpone polenta and butternut squash ravioli. An extensive wine list includes bottled reserves from the winery, adjacent to the hotel. Arrive in daylight, if possible, to enjoy the picturesque property, or make a reservation for dinner following the winery tour. A unique evening out.
