Williamsburg Lodge Restaurant Wine and Dine Menus
Ongoing to Apr 30, 2010 at 05:00 PM
The Williamsburg Lodge Restaurant Wine and Dine menus tempt the appetite while being kind to the wallet with prix fixe selections every night through April. In March, the menu is an ode to rustic Italy, beginning with bruschetta of goat cheese, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, herbs, white beans and roasted garlic, or risotto of wild mushrooms and Sarvecchio parmesan cheese. The Italian entrée choice is prosciutto crusted flounder or braised beef cannelloni, and dessert is a choice of zuppa Inglaise or hazelnut semifreddo. The wine and dine dinners are $39 and include a glass of the perfect wine selected by Lodge sommelier Charles Birr to accompany both the first and second courses. Without the wine, the three-course dinner is $29, and items also are available à la carte for those who prefer to select menu items separately. Tax and gratuity are not included. For reservations, call (757) 229-2141. For detailed wine and dine menus, visit www.colonialwilliamsburgresort.com/special-dining-event/wine-and-dine.
