Chef John and chef Nick were entertaining and very informative. There were 26 of us for dinner. Everything was prepared as we watched. Obviously a lot of prep work ahead of time. But still plating and finishing dinner before that many was impressive. Good wine pairings with each course. Live piano music with appetizers before dinner. 5 courses. A lot... More

Was originally on the wait list, as this place is booked months earlier. Was able to have a cancellation in our favor and WOW what a treat! The whole event is wonderfully orchestrated from start to end. John and Nick prepared more that just great dishes but added good cooking tips and comforting stories that wished you lived nearby.

We had always heard great things about this restaurant and were not disappointed! The food was delicious and the experience was unique. We were three couples from NC and we planned our trip to Williamsburg around our dinner plans. We look forward to returning for another memorable dining experience.

Chef John wanted the entire audience to experience it, so he started a restaurant in which he prepares the entire dinner before his guests and explains the processes along the way. He... More

I had dinner last night at this restaurant, and it was one of the best culinary experiences I have had anywhere! I have eaten at a couple of other "teaching" restaurants, or restaurants where you get to watch the chef prepare the food, but "A Chef's Kitchen" was head and shoulders above the rest. Chef John was great about explaining... More

My husband and I went with friends a few years ago and it remains, to this day, my favorite place to eat in Williamsburg. It was entertaining and delicious! It's expensive but well worth it. I highly recommend if you are looking for a place to celebrate your birthday or other special occassion.
