Berret’s is all about the food and service. There isn’t a view, but they are located right on the outside of the historic Williamsburg village.
For evening and busy season it is highly recommended to make a reservation.
Their specialty is seafood, especially oysters. There is a very nice selection of locally sourced oysters that are super fresh.

The ambience and the service was very good. There was a cosy fireplace and our server was amazing. The food was good but the real disappointment was the dessert. Both the carrot cake and the molten lava cake were smothered in caramel. That’s not close to an original recipe and it was too sweet to consume and totally changed the flavor profile.

After reading the reviews, we drove 1.4 hours to experience the pleasure of dining at Berret’s to celebrate a 65th birthday. We were not disappointed. We made a noontime reservation via Open Table. If you prefer the main dining area, make reservation or arrive early. Place fills up quickly. We arrived 15 minutes early. Merchants square parking can be congested and spaces are narrow. Large trucks/SUVs may need to park st 410 W. Francis (P6) lot. Signs provide instructions to pay parking via phone. There is a guest check in counter outside. We were greeted very warmly with smiles. Our reservation was confirmed and we were directed to the main dining area. Upon entering main dining area, we were greeted by our server, Alice. More smiles. We were seated quickly. Alice is a very personable, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable server. Answered all our specific menu questions. Provided excellent guidance. Very nice, cozy environment. Note: Room was cooler than expected. For seniors like me, be prepared. Loved the old school ambience. Everything that we ate was exceptionally delicious and aesthically presented. We started with the Shrimp and Grits appetizer. Wonderful start! Loved it. Our main courses were the Braised Wild Mushrooms with Orzo and the Seafood Baked in Parchment paper. Both were amazing! Exceptionally delicious! I left no evidence of my Seafood meal. We finished with the Pear Pound Cake dessert. Enjoyed every bite. I also enjoyed a 16 oz Wasserhund Porter. Food was reasonably priced. Totally satisfied with our first visit to Berret’s. It was worth the drive to the Burg. Hats off to Alice and the staff. Exceptional service!

I definitely saved the best for last on this trip! Berret’s was the best restaurant experience I had in Williamsburg. The seafood is fantastic, and the $1 oysters cannot be beaten by any other restaurant : incredible quality and amazing value! Plus, the location is prime, as it’s walking distance to both the Williamsburg historical site and William & Mary College. If you’re looking for great seafood, amazing deals, and convenience, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

This place was a delight. William was a very kind waiter, and made us feel right at home. I got the blue plate special (a lot of delicious food), a hot cider (not too sweet), and a pumpkin pie (exceptional). Everything was delicious. William kept mentioning how skilled the pastry chef is, and I can concur. The pumpkin pie was incredible.
The atmosphere is cozy and warm, which is needed this time of year haha.

We were looking for a nice sit down dinner and was not disappointed. Brandon was our server and I didn’t believe mind readers existed until that day. Food was incredible I had the Blue plate and it was a great mix and very filling. The only “issue” I had is I felt the appetizer was very small for the price. Other than that everything was perfect creme brulee was shared and perfect size for doing so after a filling meal
My husband got the snapper special which he was was wonderful I could see it getting loud if it was packed but it was quiet while we were there.

Amazing food, oysters never disappoint, been to Berret’s multiple times in a month. Service was great, we had Brandon as our server and was very attentive but not intrusive, also a really funny guy. Mussels, calamari are amazing. Star of the show is definitely dessert. Can’t wait to go back. Book online! It’s very convenient

Fantastic food. We ate at the bar because it was a long wait for a table. The happy hour oysters were perfect. We spilt the red , and blue. It was a combo of crab cake,scallops and salmon. The crab cake was the best i have had in a while. Full of sweet crab and a lemon caper sauce. Be sure to make a reservation.

A perfect seafood experience! I started with a lovely warm rum and cinnamon cocktail, followed by todays special appetizer of shrimp & grits w/pork belly (simply divine) and Southern baked oysters (delicious). Then I had the Red, White & Blue plate which was salmon, scallops and a crab cake with mashed potatoes and veggies. I am a happy and full customer! My compliments to the chef!

We went back to this restaurant two days in a row because of the raw oyster.
I never cared for raw oyster until I tried the raw oysters here. We ordered both James and York oyster along with Rockefeller and fried ones. If you want to try the authentic and original taste of the oysters, I will recommend just order the raw ones. The Rockefeller and fried oysters were not that different than other restaurants. Between James and York, I personally like the James ones. It’s smaller but sweeter.
We also ordered their crab cakes and shrimp as well as a seafood combo. The crab cake was excellent and all the seafood were very fresh and tasty. We were also very impressed by their apple cobbler with ice cream on top.
The one dollar raw oyster special cannot be beat. This really is the best place to try raw oyster and an excellent place for seafood.
The music in the waiting area also added a really nice touch to the atmosphere. Because we were sitting at the outside tent, we got to enjoy the music for a while. Not sure how it feels like inside the restaurant.
The server was very attentive, so were most of the staff there.
Giving that this was at the toursy area of Williamsburg, I didn’t know about the quality of the restaurant at first. After I’ve been there twice, I feel very comfortable of recommending it to everyone.
