Gabriel Archer Tavern at Williamsburg Winery






Off the Williamsburg Colonial Parkway is the Williamsburg Winery, home to the Gabriel Archer Tavern. Thi soff the beaten path restaurant is quaint with out door seating, as well as indoor. The outdoor seating is under a patio surrounded by a thick vine cover, blocking out damaging sun rays while still allowing in the light.

On the drive into the restaurant, you have to drive past the vineyards, a beautiful drive down a small lane to the winery, tavern and Cafe Provencal.

We ordered the Chicken Piccata and the ham steak. Both were cooked perfectly and all entrees are served with a seasonal vegetable, we had roasted potatoes and fresh green beans.

The chicken piccata was incredibly tender and the sauce was the best piccata sauce I had ever had. I wanted everything in the sauce: potatoes, green beans, we even tried dipping the ham in the sauce.

The ham steak was nice and thick, without being too much. There were cider glazed apple slices served on top, and a cinnamon, apple, wine sauce on the ham. The sauces was spiced perfectly with enough flavor to pair with the ham without over powering the ham.
