King's Arms Tavern

Virginia


This traditional tavern serves early American cuisine such as game pie – venison, rabbit and duck braised in port-wine sauce. Of the four restaurants within Colonial Williamsburg, it is the most elegant. You might hear live flute music with your meal, and staff will share history about colonial dining habits. Book ahead for dinner; vegetarians should dine elsewhere.
