    This is our favorite restaurant. I hear the oysters are outstanding. I wouldn't know since I don't eat them but everything we've ever eaten there was excellent. My favorite is a luncheon sandwich. I love the tuna BLT. It's so good and plentiful. It's a nice thick piece of tuna with crisp bacon and is excellent. We enjoy it with mango bbq sauce. They have many great seafood choices unlike any you'll receive elsewhere. I highly recommend this restaurant and there's some choices for those who don't want seafood.

    Williamsburg has a number of excellent restaurants, but whenever I'm in Williamsburg, I know one of the places I'll be eating is Berret's. Their menu is fantastic, the seasonal changes are always refreshing. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch and the ambience is delightful. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

    Always, a good bet for taking out-of-town visitors for lunch. Nice luncheon choices. Still love the She Crab soup with homemade bread 🍞 slices. Nice wine and beer choices.

    We had the PEI mussels, the baked brie with the peach chutney and the appetizer assortment with the oysters Rockefeller, calamari and crab puffs. Everything was amazing! Great service and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

    Hubby said his redfish tasted fishy, but my shrimp with cheese-filled tortellini was very good. The sweet potato apple cobbler was very yummy! Our server was very attentive.

    The food and service never disappoints. This was our 24th anniversary and a return to our favorite restaurant in Williamsburg. Over the years, dining here has been a wonderful experience and we return every chance we can. The staff and service made our anniversary dinner extra special.

    Berretts was accommodating when our reservation was messed up but they sat us in the bar area which the bar tender was far to busy to take care of us and everyone at the bar plus make all the drinks for the restaurant. It took a very long time for our food to come out and we watched several people who came in after us leave. The meal was just ok. We wouldn’t rush back to eat there again.
