    A perfect romantic dinner! Nothing didn’t impress us here… the decor in the room, the live piano player, our waiter, the food… it was all meticulously executed. The cherry on top was the mini history story that our waiter gave us. Such a nice evening!

    It was perfect to celebrate our anniversary. The food was excellent and Bruce was great at keeping our glasses full and serving the food. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the music. It had been a while since we could eat at Shields and didn’t know what to expect. The experience exceeded what we anticipated. The card we received topped off a wonderful evening.

    Went to the Fall Tea for my mother's birthday and this was a wonderful experience. Ambience was beautiful, music was relaxing and not overwhelming. We do have a nut allergy which we let them know. Food was very good and they worked with our nut allergy to still provide a complete tea experience. The savory options were amazing and we loved the pumpkin scones. The sweets weren't as good as the savory options, but since they needed to replace multiple options due to our nut allergy, this was understandable. Our server, Nokia, was very sweet and helpful. Thanks for a spectacular afternoon.

    Looking for a family restaurant near colonial Williamsburg that was relatively affordable for a nice lunch and Traditions lived up to that billing. Sandwiches were huge, the fries and fruit salad sides were of considerable portions, the desserts were magnificent and the wait staff was friendly and checked on us often to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. My daughter thought one of the chicken sandwiches was the best she ever had. The desserts were sweet and large although probably a few dollars more than they should have been. We also had the pimento cheese appetizer which was perfectly priced and portioned for three or four people. Well we like to try different places when we're out, Traditions really did an amazing job and served us well allowing us to get right back into our day in Colonial Williamsburg. We would definitely consider going back in a pinch, especially for lunch. We recommend others also give this place by try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
