In the 'burg area while visiting, we ate at a number of "top rated" tripadvisor restaurants, (matter of fact - the top 5 listed and then some) and found this our best overall experience with service, food presentation, ambiance, and taste. Intially on arriving, we were greeted by the owner, and host, with a warm smile, introduction, and promise to... More

My husband and I visit Williamsburg yearly for a timeshare week and we always make time to have breakfast or lunch here. The food is delicious; we thought the belgian waffle would float off the plate! The soft boiled eggs are perfectly prepared on delicious multigrain bread. The vinagrette on the salad is just right. The ever changing art exhibit... More

Went here with my husband for my birthday. Contemporary atmosphere. Upscale, but not stuffy. Food was imaginative and delicious. My husband and I got different menu items and enjoyed trying each others items. Service was slow, but very personal and attentive when they did come to our table. A very enjoyable experience. We look forward to our next visit. More

We had a family dinner at artcafe 26 (including a one year old) and the staff couldn't have been nicer, more accommodating. Service was prompt, the food was excellent and the wine list very reasonably priced. A winning combination overall! More

We absolutely loved the food, atomosphere and service. We had eaten a late lunch and were not very hungry for dinner and the staff was very accomodating and let us order "al la carte". The food was not only tasty but the presentation was so much fun! Would highly recommend to anyone who loves food! More

Our dinner was life changing. I've never taste food like this before. Every little detail from the starter to the desert was unique and exploding with flavor. The soup is incredible. The cheese is unreal. The chocolate desert plate that I had defies explanation. You need to get over there, even it's just for coffee. More

We went there last year and at that time this place was rated here as #1 in town. We were duped - good thing we went there for lunch. This place is HIGHLY overpriced. $15 for a basic omellette??? $4 for tiny cup of coffee? I had maybe 4 sips and my coffee was gone. Extremely limited menu!!! And a... More
