Was highly recommended by a friend on our visit to Wburg. We were not disappointed. The food was outstanding. Also excellent service. BUT the true value added service happened when I discovered the next day I had left my new cashmere scarf somewhere during our trip......When I called them, they said yes they had it. They put Howard the manager... More

Had an early dinner with family. Enjoyed both the food, and the service. Specifically: of the menu items we had between the four of us, I would rate the following as exquisite: Shrimp Boat appetizer, Pot Roast entree, Grilled Steak Salad entree, Bread Pudding desert. The following is excellent: Michelangelo Caprese (and it was not exquisite probably only because the... More

We had dinner twice during our stay in Williamsburg. We are "young seniors" but don't eat much, so taking leftovers from a restaurant on a trip is worthless to us. In our learning experiences, now we ask about sharing meals and viola! - restaurants are starting to allow this, WITHOUT charging a sharing fee. Good business practice -- that's the... More

Even my 17 year old son liked it! Didnt like the fried ravoli, loved the pad thai (a little less sauce would have been better), the eggplant was great and so were the salads. Great service More

The meal started promissingly enough with outstanding rolls/bread and a couple of knock-out apetizers (shrimp boat and ahi tuna). When the entree's hit, however, it fell back to average. We had a wide range including the crab cake/portabella, surf and turf and flounder but none of them hit that big. Don't get me wrong, the food was fine, but not... More

We consider ourselves "locals and regulars" although we drive nearly an hour each way to dine at FFT. The service is excellent with friendly, knowledgeable servers who attend to details like keeping the diners' drinks filled. The food is invariably delicious and very reasonably priced ( the pad thai is my favorite) and ranges from good old-fashioned comfort food to... More

After a little research we learned this was the hottest game in town and it was - fabulous menu with something for everyone, meat lover to the vegan. I had a roasted beet salad that I am still craving - may be worth the drive back to Williamsburg. The seafood specials were all prepared perfectly (however they did run out... More

There is a lot of variety on the menu. As a vegetarian I had lots of options to choose from...the Roasted Red Pepper and Gouda soup is amazing! More

Almost seems like the only non-corporate place in town. Everything on the menu is beyond delicious(we went with large groups, many times). The owner and the staff are so attentive and sweet. My husband and I are vegan and they not only had options but also were really considerate about making sure everything was 'kosher' for us as well. Definitely... More

All our dishes were excellent. My husband had fish, my older daughter steak, and I had a vegetarian dish. The little one was offered a child's menu. The waitress was very attentive and offered to bring more bread and came to meet a number of our specialized needs. The atmosphere was pleasant. We enjoyed every aspect of this restaurant. More
