Help? williamsburg inn has good food.. as do the historic inns within colonial williamsburg.. but the lines are long. head towards the college of william and mary and there is a place on the left on Duke of Gloucester Street about one block before you hit the college (it is in a commercial area called merchant;s square) which is fantastic.. but i can't recall the name alas.... it is directly across the street from the craft house. Maybe someone else recalls the name.

Also, across the parking lot from the back of the Trellis (by Baskin Robbins), is the Cheese Shop, home of the best sandwiches I've had the pleasure of enjoying. I prefer the turkey and havarti or roast beef and cheddar, on french bread, with extra house dressing. Off the beaten path, the Polo Club and Second Street tavern are both good bar/grill type places. Beethoven's Inn features great sandwiches and very good French Onion soup, though the service can lag a bit. In the historic area I've always been partial to Shield's Tavern over Christiana Campbell's and the King's Arms. A wonderful nightlife activity is gambols at Chowning's after dinner. They serve period drinks and deliver period entertainment. It's a great time and the cream ale is quite good. For seafood and a unique atmosphere, Nick's Seafood Pavilion in Yorktown, just a short drive down the Colonial Parkway, is outstanding. It is unbelievably tacky, but the food is great. The drive down the Parkway is beautiful as well. There is also a good Vietnamese restaurant called Chez Trinh in the Monticello shopping center near Rose's that is worth trying. Enjoy your trip.
