REQ: Washington, DC & Williamsburg, VA
DebraKriz
and Williamsburg area in late October while we attend his 20th reunion
from William and Mary College. What great restaurants should we
vist...perhaps some geared more to a fairly unsophisticated 9-year-old
palatte as well as a few better/more adventurous/wonderful ones for when
we go out alone.
Any advice you offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

as your daughter might like seeing how thomas jeffereson ate when he was
in town. of course the williamsburg inn is still wonderful albeit
overpriced and there is a very nice place right in front of W&M college. on
the mall fronting the historic district..the name escapes me but it and
is on the left as you walk towards the house of burgesses. on duke of
gloucester at henry street. It may be quiet chilly in late october so
dress warmly, the fall colors will be magnificant and don't forget to visit
the abby rockefeller folk art museum. have a great trip. i love
williamsburg and W&M college.

Trellis. It's owned by Marcel Desaullier (sp?) who did the "Death by
Choclate" show on TV. I'd appreciate any other restaurants in
Williamsburg, exclusive of the taverns on the Colonial Williamsburg
complex, as my husband & I will be there in November. Something
sophisticated, simple, & not overladen with heavy, fat-filled ingredients.
Thanks in advance.

Christmas, '94, and DeSaulnier's lunch menu had been amended to include
selections from his "Burgermeisters" book and tv show. We have not seen
many children there when we've been; even the burgers might be a bit
overwhelming. But the Trellis is definitely our current favorite.
Definitely sophisticated, but yes, many items of simplicity and even
lowfat.

From a "native's" point of view:
A *must* in Williamsburg is THE TRELLIS in Merchant's Square....and October in
Williamsburg is wonderful! Make reservations! We like to eat there during
the day.....cheaper....but same wonderful, incredible food.
Other great Wmsbg area restaurants:
Le Yaca in Kingsmill Village, and Victoria's Fire (same general vicinity)
and
Indian Fields Tavern between Williamsburg & Richmond on RT 5 (where all
the historic plantations are)
The historic taverns are fun and have good food, also. I would stay away
from the majority of restaurants ... too geared towards tourists.

in the Food Lion shopping center, a bit out of town so there may tend to be
fewer tourists and more locals. There's also a more upscale italian restaurant
on Jamestown Rd., owned by the ex-wife of Giuseppe's owner (I think they
started both places together), which is also quite good. Can't think of the
name right now, though.
Short Stop on Richmond Rd, across from PBK Hall is a great place for sandwiches
and is open for lunch and dinner. Try the Fuma - it's great.
The best chinese restaurant in town is the Peking Restaurant on Rt. 60 by-pass
in the K-mart shopping center.
The Trellis is really the best restaurant in the 'burg if you're interested in
good food that is creative. Save roon for dessert.
