Williamsburg

About the restaurant

Le Yaca began in 1964 in Courchevel, a tiny, country village in the French Alps. Daniele Bourderau & Gerard decided it would be fun to open a small restaurant. When friends learned of their plans, they told the hopeful restaurateurs they were crazy to think people would drive eight kilometers on a winding, icy road for dinner. Daniele and Gerard hesitated for three months and then decided, “yaca le faire,” a contraction of the French phrase “il n’y a qu’a le faire,” which basically means, “let’s do it.” They called the restaurant Le Yaca as a gag, but the name caught on with customers who were amused by the pun and contributed to the restaurant’s lore by inventing “yaca-isms” of their own: yaca y aller (let’s go). Daniele came to the United States and opened Le Yaca in Williamsburg. Daniel Abid bought Le Yaca in 2001. Daniel worked and trained in such prestigious places as “Le Pre Catelan” and “Lenotre” in Paris; “L’Amandier” and “Roger Verge," and to top it all off, “Alain Ducass

Craft 31 Review I recently had the pleasure of dining at Craft 31, and it was a delightful experience! We ordered the wings and pizza, both of which were absolutely delicious. The wings were perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful meat. The pizza was equally impressive, with a well-balanced combination of toppings and a perfectly baked crust. One of the highlights of our visit was the atmosphere. We chose to sit in the heated and enclosed outdoor seating area, which provided a cozy and comfortable environment. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our meal, especially on a chilly evening. However, there was one area that could use improvement. The water glasses had a noticeable dishwasher film, and the water bottle was sticky and dirty. This detracted slightly from an otherwise excellent dining experience. Overall, Craft 31 offers a great dining experience with tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to eat and relax, but I hope they address the cleanliness of their glassware in the future.

Not much has changed since George Washington frequented Campbell’s Tavern for its delicious seafood in the 18th century. Dig in to locally sourced shrimp, scallops, and fish, and be sure to try Christiana’s famous Crab Cakes, Fried Chicken, Sweet Potato Muffins and Spoon Bread.
The street address is 101 S. Waller Street, with ample parking behind the tavern.

Have eaten at several of the Taverns and other places around town. Decided to try here since the food on the menu looked so good. The atmosphere and the food were nothing less than what I expected top notch. Will definitely be eating here again.

A really lovely lunch. The ambiance is perfect and we had a beautiful view of the snow covered vineyard. Our server was attentive and helpful. Knowledgeable of the wine and of the menu items. We got a cheese board and a chocolate ganache torte to share and they were to die for. Highly recommend.
