Yes, I'm sure the reference is to the Trellis. We were there just before 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. Doug Grover

You could spend the evenings eating your way through all the quaint restaurants inside Colonial Williamsburg. Some of my favorites are King's Arms Tavern (cream of Peanut Soup, Plum Ice Cream, creamed celery with pecans, creamed onion with peanuts, Sally Lunn, raisin rice pudding), Chowning's Tavern (black Walnut ice cream, Brunswick stew, Welsh rabbit with beer), Christiana Campbell's Tavern (salmagundi, spoon bread, sweet potato muffins). As I remember it you can make reservations ahead. Be sure and take some of the evening tours if offered. They had dancing, concerts, candle light walks etc. all in the colonial fashion. We stayed inside Colonial Williamsburg and enjoyed the relaxation of days gone by. Enjoy! Barbara Jean Lull

I woud add Le Yacca (I think the spelling is correct, it's french for rooster I believe) to the list. You'll probably need reservations and smart casual dress will do. Enjoy! Jim
