    Since the weather cooperated, we sat outside and people watched. Quiet area. Lots of brick buildings. Live band was playing 70s music a block away at another restaurant. After a crab dip appetizer (smooth and blessedly NOT overly salty), we devoured the salmon cake salad (salmon cakes were seasoned nicely with red onions) and the mahi mahi BLT (wonderful combination!) with three cheese and bacon grits (unremarkable and bland) instead of fries. The key lime pie and apple pie were insanely good. We especially liked the sea of warm caramel surrounding the apple pie. Service was excellent and attentive, and we enjoyed every bite.

    We booked a private room for a family reunion of 25 people. Think they did a really nice job with it. Booking was easy peasy. I booked about six months in advance. Though I called multiple times to confirm, they always had the reservation. I was really happy with their service. First we were all really pleased with the room. It had lots of windows and was bright and cheery. When we arrived they had the room ready and the tables set for us. They even had some won ton bruschetta appetizers set out for us. I wasn't too fond of them but that's not really here or there. Based on generation of family members we needed to rearrange the table settings a bit and they were so kind about moving everything around. Nothing was a problem for them and everything was done and served with a smile. The meal service was a bit on the slow side but when 25 people are ordering off the menu you can't expect speedy. I thought both the appetizers and the mains to be tasty. I really enjoyed my crab cakes. In the end they were kind to take a group photo of us. A few of us decided to hang in bar after the main event. They had some live music but they seemed to take more break than performance. We had some drinks, of course. I chose a chocolate martini to cap off the night. It was very good and started a trend so that pretty much everyone ended up ordering one! A great end to the evening.

    Wow, wow, wow, wow........did I say wow yet?? This is a very nice, classy, upscale, impress a date, leisurely supper spot that was a real find. Its an open kitchen concept with an edgy modern feel. Our server was really polite and on point! At first, they brought a complimentary appitizer...a wonton skin covered in a garden fresh salsa/relish. Its a win. Bread lover? Let me tell you about the homemade rolls....yeasty soft goodness with real butter. This is just the warm-up. Since we were going to walk Colonial Williamsburg after dinner, we opted for sandwiches....but the braised pork shank that went past our table is the stuff of legends and I will be back for that!! I had the shrimp po'boy. It was fantastic! A homemade roll (who makes the bread? I am positive they are my lost soul mate!) With 10 shrimp, diced tomato, lettuce, and a spicey roumalade. Heaven. My companions meals were just as delicious and the shrimp alfreado (made by request) was REALLY good. The fries were crisp and seasoned. but wait, dessert you say?? Ah yes, convincing ourselves the added calories would be walked off, we decided we need dessert. Good call. They had the carmel apple creme brulee and it was good. I being an over-achiever, had the bananas foster bread pudding with carmel sauce. Oh damn. it was soooo good it made you want to lick the plate....I didnt but boy did I think about it. Tonight, we proved you can do a walking tour while in a food coma.....okay we were more zombie like....but we did it! I will definitely be back......there is a pork shank with my name on it.

    Chocolate Espresso Creme Brûlée. Delicious!

    My wife and I split a full rack of ribs at Second St Bistro. The ribs were fantastic and fell right…read moreoff the bone, very tender! I would recommend getting the mustard drizzle on the side, just to be sure it is to your taste. We also had the Crab/Corn Chowder soup. You must try it! Super delicious and flavorful. The onion rings were also very good/hand breaded. Service was excellent and the manager stopped at our table to check on us. The atmosphere is comfortable and ambiance is nice/quiet and clean. Strongly recommended for a good meal in a very nice setting.

    We were looking for somewhere to eat in Williamsburg and came across this spot. At first glance, it…read morelooks like an upscale restaurant, but it's actually casual dining and kid-friendly. We were seated right away, and our service was awesome from start to finish. FOOD REVIEW Thai Poppin' Shrimp 5/5 - I really appreciated Robin for making sure we had a great experience with this dish. Berry Burrata 3/5 - Not my favorite, but still decent. Asian Chicken Wraps 3/5 - This was okay, just a little too saucy for me. Fried Green Tomatoes 5/5 - One of our favorites. The pimiento cheese paired perfectly with it. Carolina Burger 4/5 - Huge portion, and my son really enjoyed it. 2nd St Burger 4/5 - Another big portion and overall really good. Kids Pizza & Tenderloins 3/5 - Decent for the kids, though the pizza bread was a bit dense. DRINKS Margarita 4/5 Prickly Pear 4/5 Robin really made our experience even better. She checked on us frequently and made sure everything came out right. The portions here are on the larger side, so I'd recommend ordering family-style if you're dining with a group. Overall, the food was great, and the service made the experience even better.
