The Gabriel Archer Tavern was built in 1987 on footprints of an old farm shed. Today, its mission is to provide a memorable farm-to-table dining experience that's both delicious and nourishing.

In addition to a half-acre produce garden and greenhouse on site where lettuces and herbs will be grown, our chef works hard to find local farmers as partners in producing a menu oriented towards fresh and seasonal specialties.

Our wide variety of fresh selections from our unique menu will guarantee that everyone in your party leaves with a smile.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Gabriel Archer Tavern offers a picturesque setting and "outstanding food" with a focus on colonial and southern-style cuisine. The charming atmosphere is complemented by a knowledgeable and "attentive staff," making it a perfect spot for both intimate meals and celebratory gatherings. While portions can be small, the quality of dishes, like the crab cakes and hangar steak, is consistently praised. Enjoy "wine flights" from the neighboring Williamsburg Winery for a full experience.

It’s a magical time right now at The Gabriel Archer Tavern and the Williamsburg Winery! The holiday decorations are absolutely lovely, especially the lights outside! Our evening was perfect! David, our server, was wonderful! He brought complimentary Champagne to our four gentlemen, all celebrating birthdays! He reported to Chef that the couscous was a tad bit salty. He was delightful. Jenna, the Manager, came over to say hello and to see how our table of friends was doing. She also took the most amazing photo of our group outside by the lighted tree! Cheers to 5+++ ⭐️’s. Our evening there is a lovely memory, and we look forward to many more! 🍷🍾🥂

Turnip/crab soup is delicious. The ham/turkey sandwich with brie and berry preserves was yummy. The wine flight was enjoyable.

Wonderful food and great wine. Was looking for upscale fare without the need to get dressed above business casual and this place was perfect. Service was also fantastic. We were running a bit late for our end of night reservation. The hostess graciously seated us after we called to let them know we were stuck in accident related traffic, and our server never ince made us feel rushed. In gact we were not ever the last table sitting when we left.

A very disappointing lunch today. Clearly understaffed as service was slow. Food was not good, soup cold, salad not good.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a truly a memorable experience at the restaurant nestled in a beautiful vineyard setting. We started with some delicious bread with a glass of their house white wine. For my meal I opted for the fettuccine was flavorful &perfectly cooked. My sister had the turkey on Brie….omg DELICIOUS!!! The service was attentive without being intrusive. We followed up with a tour and wine tasting. A truly entertaining experience…will definitely be returning!!! Williamsburg’s hidden gem❤️
