    We were so pleased and tickled to be the very first two people to attend their first evening service in many years. You could kind of tell the staff we’re also very pleased about what was happening. They were all a little unsure, and they actually said so, which was very cute. The food was absolutely delicious. My wife had the steak dish which was unbelievably tender and prepared with a brown gravy and came with a side of carrots and grits. My food was even better. It was a bed of curried rice and on top of that were three salmon fillet. It also came with the same side of grits and carrots. So nicely done. The food was very hot. In fact so hot, I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. You could tell that that chef was not going to let any food get to a table and not be perfect. Of course we had to try the dessert and we went with the strawberry and cream. I don’t know what that cream was exactly but it was like velvet. Just so nice Our waitress was very pleasant and right on the ball. As far as the atmosphere, it was relatively quiet. There was about a five minute. Where a gentleman actually sang a couple of 18 century songs, which was pretty neat. No Overhead music, which was fine with me. The table was simply dressed with a candle and what one would normally eat and drink with. Just simple and nicely done. Thank you for a very nice dinner and evening out. It truly is rare to show up to a place not knowing what is actually going to happen and it turns out really well.

    Hot Chicken and warm potato salad outside in one hundred degree heat, with no fans was unbearable - no one in our party of 12 wanted to eat anything.

    We did the 4th of July picnic again and it was just as delicious the second time around. They did a few tweaks to the experience that improved it over their first attempt last year. We will definitely do it again the next time we are there over the 4th.

    This was a special picnic lunch for July 4th. It was really the best fried chicken I have ever had. Plus there were ample portions of cole slaw, potato salad and cornbread. Thankfully the picnic tables were in the shade as it was a miserably hot day. The service was excellent and the food came quickly. If Shield’s does this on another occasion, I would definitely order it again. It was an excellent way to get a good meal and still be in the center of the colonial area.

    The food is always fresh and delicious. We had the fried chicken and it's some of the best I've ever had. Great place to eat when in Williamsburg.

    It was the 4th of July and we had reservations for a picnic. The heat and humidity made it very uncomfortable but the staff were making our meals to go if we wanted so that we’re could get out of the heat! The food was fabulous and we truly enjoyed it!!

    The menu was different than was posted online for the special event which was disappointing especially since I planned around that with two children. The live music was very short, literally played two songs. The atmosphere and service were good at least.

    Delicious meal in an authentic old tavern atmosphere. Our server was very cordial and attentive. We participated in a special holiday meal known as a “groaning board” and groan we did as we were served three types of deliciously prepared meats along with a salad and tasty mashed potatoes and an autumn vegetable medley plus biscuits and two different period correct desserts. The entire meal was scrumptious. A little pricey but you’re paying for the experience.

    It was fun and parts of the meal were excellent. The salad, beef pie, mashed potatoes and dessert were very nicely done. The chicken was dry and very salty. We went for the Christmas groaning board and finished just before the Grand Illumination which is right outside the door. Expensive but it’s a great overall experience.
