Driving through Williamsburg for my first time and could not be happier that this caught my eye. Service was impeccable and I quickly figured out why... Ask for the GM, Nate. He lives and breaths hospitality. I will always support someone that is trying to take an amazing Restaurant to another level! Need a recommendation?, Ask Matt behind the bar. He's a local that will never give bad advice! Hot Oyster sampler was an amazing ice breaker. Barrimundi is his "go-to", however, if he recommended the "Special of the Night" to you, I would order it in a second. Overall, atmosphere was perfect, staff was friendly and had the best experience. My vote for Best Restaurant Williamsburg.

It was my first time to see a show here. Getting a ticket online was hassle free yet I think…read moregetting a ticket through the phone costs less. Check in was quick and I was assisted to my assigned seat for the show. The earlier you buy tickets, the better seats you get. My reservation was at 1:30PM for the meal before the show that started at 2PM. There's a minimum of $15 for food and drink per guest. Got the spinach pesto tortellini and added chicken. It was okay; I think it's overpriced. 20% service charge is automatic; service was not bad but neither is it excellent. I enjoyed Patti Austin's show. I might come back for other artists.

It appears very unassuming from the outside. At night, there are some really nice lights that come on. There also seemed to be an outdoor stage setup. The concert I saw was amazing and everything sounded great. My only complaint: most of the patrons were so loud and obnoxious and more interested in their own drunken banter, which made it difficult to hear the music even though I was front row. If you're going to a concert (or doing anything else for that matter) and feel the need to get drunk or high in order to enjoy it, then that's a problem of your own that needs to be addressed and dealt with properly, not by subjecting others to it and robbing them of their own natural ability to live life. Other than that, it was a great evening. Nice place and I wouldn't mind returning to see another show. I just hope that the crowd there will want to see a show too and not take away from who we actually pay to see.

The ushers were really friendly and helpful in guiding us to our seats. I recommend looking up parking information before you go. We were a bit confused, and later discovered there were closer parking options available.

Peabody's has been open since 1967, wow! I lived nearby and went to an L7 show here when I lived…read moreOceanfront in Virginia Beach. I didn't frequent Peabody's since I have never been a person who loves dancing or DJs. Also, I was outside of Peabody's target demographic of 18-24 year-olds. This was during my "bitter chick rock" phase that still rears its head now and then, and one of my favorite bitter chick bands was L7! I saw their show at Peabody's on April 15, 1997. It was a great venue for this raw, bitter, loud band with a house packed and standing room only of fans trying their best to make a mosh pit. I guess Hole was my second favorite bitter chick band. Back to the L7 show. Classified as grunge, punk, and metal, I think L7 is more chick punk. Their guitarist was unavailable this night, and they replaced her with a local Va Beach chick guitarist who did a great job. The locals recognized her, I didn't. Smoking was allowed inside, and this audience was pretty aggressive for the times, with a lot of college aged guys wearing backwards baseball caps. That's fine, until the guys use their ballcaps as weapons to poke me in the forehead and face to try to keep me out of their mosh pit making range. The goal of the audience was to get to stage front. The audience even resorted to using cigarette lighters to burn each others clothes. Who does this? This show was during "The Beauty Process" tour and the setlist was great with songs from previous CDs including "L7" and other previous music. Par for the course, during "Cat-O-Nine Tails," a guy in leather bondage was brought on stage and then whipped with a whip by Donita, the lead singer. I'm confident this was just a show, and the poor guy wasn't hurt. "The Masses are Asses" is another L7 tune I like. Why no fifth star? The bouncers were interesting. They waited for patrons to make their way to the stage and for the most part, escorted the patron to the door - kicking nearly each one out. The crowd was "elbow to elbow" making it clear it was difficult to just take an overly rowdy and rough patron from the center of the crowd to kick them out. Still, the bouncers were sophomoric, and should have managed the crowd better. I'm happy to have seen L7, I'm happy my party were hurt, and I'm happy Peabody's provided a sizeable venue for an alternative show in the late 90s!

When it is set up as standing room, as it is for most events, it is too crowded and "atmospheric" on the floor when everyone has been availing themselves of the bar's wares. When I was younger I would not have minded as much, but now standing for an hour or three is not my thing. BUT when they set the hall up with seating, as they did for Patton Oswalt's show last night, you have to deal with very cheap plastic folding chairs that put pressure in the wrong places and strain to hold folks of any above average size. I know, it's hard to please some people. Accoustically the hall is good. Bathrooms are cleanish. Ticketing was easy. Parking is a challenge.

The Wagsters are legit. They put on an amazing show - so many effects, and different types of magic, paced well. They were endearing and fun to watch, and frankly, they could've closed the show at intermission, but then they had a whole second act. A good amount of theatrics, balanced with personal stories. Family friendly, with a little spice and flair befitting a grand stage illusion event. This is a top-tier show, a great production, super nice team all around, and probably the best kept secret in Virginia, if not the entire region. if I were their showrunner, I might recommend to pull back just a touch on their personal story woven through the show, but the quality of the show makes this easily forgivable - and hey- it's their story, and they are living their dream. It feels good to help support them while being entertained at such a high level. Overall, the Wagsters are a must see. And a must meet- they are as nice as they are talented.

There were some excellent illusions, but what really made the show was the crowd work and enthusiasm of Brandon and Hannah Wagster. And again, the illusions were excellent. There were several moments my husband and I looked at each other and asked each other how it was even possible to do what they did. They also did a fantastic job of keeping the show entertaining for children and adults alike. Anyway, this is one of those spots that can easily get overlooked among all of the historical sites and things to do in Colonial Williamsburg, but it absolutely deserves a spot on the itinerary. It was fun, surprisingly impressive, and really something different to do on a Saturday evening. I highly recommend checking it out if you're visiting Williamsburg or even if you're a local looking for something different. We had a great time and absolutely look forward to going again next year when we are in VA.
