It felt just right to gather around the Jim table once more. I want to express my gratitude for all the memories that span from the Bauernhaus in Toano to Newtown. We were never disappointed—there were great options, excellent presentation, flavorful dishes, and attentive service.
We enjoyed an excellent dinner in a quiet setting before heading to a movie. You can always count on their attentive service and high-quality food, which is beautifully presented. We were not disappointed at all.
I recently returned for lunch with my son. I wanted to keep things light, so I ordered a salad while my son opted for a burger, which he said was average—typical for a college student's appetite. Although it was late afternoon, it felt like my salad had been prepared early in the morning. The dehydrated, chopped carrots and cabbage were unappealing, especially with the thick, heavy dressing of blue cheese and molasses that overwhelmed the dish. It seems the menu leans heavily toward rich, heavy foods, even when it comes to salads. I won’t be going back for a third visit.
Eating was wonderful, service was fantastic, interaction with the cook was wonderful!
After reading many reviews here and on Trip Advisor I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to eat here as anytime anything critical was said the Chef/Owner seemed to respond very defensively and aggressively.. What that ultimately meant to me though was that the Chef/Owner is passionate about what he is doing and takes pride in the product they put out. Our server did an excellent job and was very attentive yet not smothering. He was knowledgeable about the food. He explained the specials very well and it was a long list of them! For an appetizer we had the mushroom tart and it was excellent! My wife and I shared a wedge salad and the blue cheese dressing was what made that so good! Unfortunately as soon as we finished our salad, the entrees arrived. Way too early. For entrees my wife had the crab cakes which was one of the specials. The flavor was very good although being from Maryland we are used to jumbo lump crabmeat and while it was very good it didn't seem to be jumbo lump. I asked the waiter whether he recommended the venison chops or the rack of lamb and he said he would check with the chef. I said bring me whatever the chef recommends. He brought me the rack of lamb and just like the menu says it was a full 18 oz rack of lamb! I have never had that much lamb served in one dish. It was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. A couple of minor issues the vegetables (carrots in particular) were not cooked enough for my liking. Doesn't mean they were bad they weren't. They were just harder than I would have preferred. A bigger issue was the table we sat at (a two top) had one chair and the other seat was on an upholstered bench with cute pillows in an alcove. The seat was too high for the table and my wife was uncomfortable after a few minutes as she had to lean over. You expect a lot when you dine at a place like this and for the most part they more than live up to that expectation. I would definitely go again when in Williamsburg.
