“ We really enjoyed oceans and ale in Williamsburg. The hotel recommended the restaurant so we gave it a try. It has a very lively and upbeat atmosphere. We were a bit surprised that it was so highly rated for seafood, but after sampling the food we understood why. All of our dishes were seasoned well and extremely tasty. We would definitely go back when we are visiting Williamsburg. ”
“ We arrived unexpectedly with 20 people on a soccer tournament weekend. They happily accommodated our large party in many ways- set up, separate party checks, quick service & checks, etc. Riley was our waitress and she was seamless with all needs!! Thank you! ”
“ Great little place to stop in and grab a quality lunch! Caesar salad was impressive for a bar/grill. Wings were wonderful. Loved the crab dip! Their burgers were also delicious! Staff was super kind and welcoming. Glad we stopped in! ”
“ Oceans and ale has never let me down. Good is always perfect and the a wait staff has always doing an amazing job. Tonight we had Jared. When I asked about a beer not in the menu, he let me know they did not have that but offered one that he felt was a close choice. He brought me a sample and it was perfect. He answered questions I had about a few of the menu items and checked on us throughout the meal. This on a Friday night and the place was packed. The wait for a table can sometimes be long but I I promise? It’s worth it. ”

“ Excellent food. I had the Crab Dip appetizer and Seafood Pie. My husband had the fish and chips. A little pricey, but worth it. Love their daily seafood special board. They put a large wooden spoon next to the fish selections on special that day. Awesome! ”
