Bistro 515

I have been to this hidden gem three times now. Each time I've had a good experience while in Williamsburg, VA. This last time my husband specifically requested to go here for his birthday dinner. I was absolutely down for another experience. This last trip was the longest and most frequent we have visited. We had breakfast every day for four days, and only ate dinner else where once. We got to know the staff and had the pleasure of meeting Chef Randy for a second time. The staff is overall very nice. Below are just a few things that stuck out in my memory the most or was my one of my favorites. The only reason I am not giving the restaurant 5 is because like any business you can tell the manager happens not to be there. The perfect storms seem to happen, the system crashes, people don't s

The best hamburger I have ever eaten in a restaurant 😋 so good I forgot to take a photo of it, but I did catch desert before it was gone. Staff was OUTSTANDING!

We stayed in the Holiday Inn Suites in Historic District In Williamsburg. We decided to eat at the Bistro 515 that is located in the hotel. We were so impressed. All of the people were amazingly nice. We were celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary and my husband emailed the chef prior to dining. They set up a table for us and even remembered our names and how many years we’d been married. Chef Randy came out and introduced himself. To say he was nice is an understatement. And his dishes.... AMAZING. He definitely is a hidden gem. Our server, Stephanie, was also very nice. When we finished, Chef Randy came out and made sure everything was to our liking. Service such as this is rare. We will most definitely eat here again.

I didn't eat here however my husband and daughter had breakfast here every day of our stay and they loved the food and the service. Friendly staff, excellent variety of food, kids eat for free with a paying adult. However, you are automatically charged 3 dollars for soda even if you didn't order one. They will take it off your bill once you point it out for them. All in all, a great in hotel breakfast option, especially with the little one who wakes up wanting to eat!

I was So Very Disappointed. It was our Anniversary and I Booked this hotel because it had a High rated restaurant and Bar. When we arrived We were Given a small paper menu. I Ask about ordering the drink that was listed on the online menu. We were Told they were only serving Beer and Wine. Menu given did not show steak which was what I wanted to order for my husband. We Did order appetizers. There was only one other table who had ordered before us It still Took about 30 minutes after ordering to get the food. Next customers came in asked about the steak and was told that they had it I spoke with the waiter and told him he should had given out the full menu. That if I had known it was available I would have ordered it. I should have asked The food we got was ok. But the experience was no
