Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg

When I think of Carytown the first place that comes to mind is Can Can Brasserie. And like fine wine, it’s gotten better with age. From arrival to check we were made to feel like VIP. The drinks top tier, an extensive champagne list including vintages from 2000 and beyond. Even when ordering bread the food is always plated beautifully and creates an atmosphere all on its own. For brunch do the Quiche Du Jour and French Toast. And for Dinner you have to do the Scallops. Non-negotiable on that. They are life changing.

How to describe my favorite restaurant in Richmond and one of my favorites of all time...the experience starts once you walk in. The music, the art, the names of the dishes on the menu. For a few seconds the sounds and sights are like a roller coaster running full steam, but then everything settles into place and your visit begins to flow. Fresh truffle service tableside? This is the place to do that. Mac and Cheese with Maine Lobster and that truffle service? Sign me up. Swashbuckling Bundt Pirate cake served on a classic Aquaman plate for desert? Yes please. Just don't forget to get your reservation in well in advance. Dress code isn't stuffy, but leave the ball cap in the car.

My wife and I went in for Valentines Day and everything was on point! The service Lindsey provided was great and the food that was recommended was just as good. We had drinks, appetizers (the oysters and scallops were 10/10), entrees and dessert. This was our first time visiting but definitely will not be the last!

My wife and I took our son and his wife to Hot Tuna for Valentine's Day dinner. It was great. The ceiling was full of heart-shaped red balloons and from 6-8, Frank Sings Frank (Sinatra) preformed, walking through the restaurant, while singing, and sometimes asking ladies if they wanted to dance. Hot Tuna never disappoints and went out of their way to make it a special evening for everyone. At the end of our meal, my wife and daughter-in-law each received a long-stemmed red rose.

Fantastic service and food as always! Tried a little of everything and left very satisfied on Valentines Day!
