I just graduated from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg and I thought I had tried it all when it comes to food in the area. I had heard rumblings about this place and decided to check it out with my parents for graduation weekend. We loved it so much we ended up eating there again the next... More

Our hotel recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Service was very attentive and food was excellent. We ordered a recommended cocktail that we did not like; it was cheerfully taken back and the cost removed from our bill. We prefer to visit restaurants that are not chains and will definitely go back the next time we are in... More

This was our first visit since they have remodeled and changed their menu. When we arrived about 5:15pm the place was fairly empty. No one was at the hostess station so we waited a few minutes. Once we were seated our waiter, Daryl, arrived and asked for our drink order. We wanted to wait a few minutes since we were... More

Second Street is one of our family's favorite restaurants to visit while in Williamsburg, and last night's visit lived up again to our expectations. The restaurant's atmosphere is dark and clubby. The bar makes exceptional cocktails and has a great beer selection. The bison meatloaf is out of this world, and the shrimp and grits are always good, especially with... More

We visited Second Street Bistro for the first time Mother's day weekend. Brandon was our server on mother's day and he was awesome!!!! Very accommodating, and very personable. The food and atmosphere were also great but the service left a lasting impression.

Great service and excellent food made for a very enjoyable dining experience. Mt husband had the lasagna and I had the seafood pasta. Portions were generous. We both really enjoyed the food.

Food and service made this a memorable night out during our family vacation. The staff could have been friendlier and our server was beyond helpful with service and recommendations. We took our small children and they greatly enjoyed the night out (free wi fi helped!). Our meal from start to finish was wonderful. The crab dip, portofino salad and fish... More

My fiance and I stopped here on a whim, and we are so glad we did! Our server, Brandon, was so knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. Some of the best service we've ever had! Our meals were wonderful too (we tried the buffalo meatloaf and shrimp and grits). And my bloody mary was to die for!

I wanted to write a review because I know my husband and I both really liked this restaurant but for the life of us, we can't remember what we ate!!! They did have a really great selection of different types of entrees. We do remember that it was very, very good. (Sorry, we ate out for a week and it's... More
