    The service was outstanding and the ambiance was very appropriate for the colonial Williamsburg area.

    This was a highlight of our Williamsburg trip!…read more I made a reservation about a month out and I'm glad I did. It was so busy when we showed up. They asked us if we wanted to wait for a few minutes at the bar while they prepared our table so we ordered a couple of drinks. As soon as we ordered they came to get us. No big deal, we just paid and took our drinks with us. We were sat toward the front of the restaurant, which gave us the perfect people-watching position. Our server stopped by to greet us and said she'd be back. Waters and bread were delivered and she oriented us to the menu. We made our selections of salmon for my husband and short ribs with a side of squash. Everything was delicious. We were happy with our selections and so full when we left. I appreciate that the short ribs are boneless and tender and had the perfect seasoning. I'd eat that dish again anytime!

Everything was incredibly delicious. The entire restaurant is spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. The staff was very helpful and took the time to explain the menu. We also had espresso martinis--the non-creamy version--which were excellent as well. We will certainly be back for another visit within the month.

The staff even made some recommendations for my significant other who doesn't enjoy wine, but does enjoy bourbon. Check them out if you're looking for a fun twist on a typical date night! The only reason I gave them four stars was that we were the only ones in there, which was a little awkward.

I stopped by on a rainy day around 1PM, so it was super quiet (which I loved). Our waitress was a gem. She let us try a few wine options before we decided what we wanted to order. I ordered a glass of rosé and the Greek board, and both hit the spot. The rosé was crisp and refreshing, which was perfect for a humid day. I paired it with the Greek board, which had all the Mediterranean favorites. A generous amount of pita, olives, hummus, feta and grapes! I'm a sucker for a good Med plate. Whether you're looking to have a girls day, a casual date, find a new spot to work from, or just pop in for a light lunch and glass of wine, Tinto is the spot. I look forward to visiting the VB location!

This is the second time I have been to Aberdeen and both times I have had Harris James as our waiter! He is so friendly, personable, and attentive. He also is helpful and knowledgeable when you ask questions. We ordered: Crab Dip: this was toasted bread with a melted cheese and herbs topping. The crab dip came in a bowl in the middle. The dip was creamy but chunky with crab. I thought it was slightly salty, but my husband LOVED it ! Clams Casino: 6 clams filled! These wee very yummy. It is hard to find Clams Casino so I was very excited to see this on the menu. Filet Mignon with mushrooms and onions on the top, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I ordered this rare and it was very tender and flavorful! I thought it was a perfect blend of seasonings. It paired well with the mushroom & onions, as well as the mashed potatoes. Sirloin Steak with mashed potatoes and a side salad- home made blue cheese dressing. My husband wanted this cooked medium well. He said it was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The dressing is made in house, was creamy, and paired perfectly with the salad. The mashed potatoes were creamy. The broccoli was seasoned well and I did not need any butter for them. (I forgot to take photos of the steaks) I definitely recommend Aberdeen Barn. Call ahead for a reservation and make sure you get Harris!

    I met some friends who had come in from out of town here. We made reservations, and am glad we did…read more The inside is quite tight on space, so I'd recommend the same if you're planning a night out. The vibe is warm and welcoming though. The food, as it should be is the star of the show. I ordered the Duck, which was the best duck I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. Some places can over cook it in an attempt to get that crispy skin, but here it was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy, meat flavorful and juicy, and not overly greasy. The sweet potato puree was excellent and elevated the meal. The drinks menu was really good. Our friends are Wine Connessiuers and we're impressed with the selection. Not a Connessiuer myself, though I do enjoy a nice red every now and then, our selection was really good. Circa 1918 is a bit of a trip for us, but I'm sure we will be back and I'd recommend this place to anyone in the Newport News area.

This has been high on my "want to try" for a long time and finally saw an opportunity with an available reservation, went for it and am so happy I did. I dined solo, which I rarely do, but this was the perfect place for it. It was apparent that most people dining were regulars. The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!
