Christiana’s dinner menu reads, “Giving satisfaction to travelers and townspeople with a taste for seafood.” Long recognized as one of George Washington’s preferred dining spots, one can just imagine Mrs. Campbell presenting the General with a “muddle of shrimp, scallops and lobster.” One of Colonial Williamsburg most prized possessions is a receipt by Washington paying Mrs. Campbell “seven pounds, seven shillings, and sixpence” for meals from the earlier spring. For present day guests Mrs. Campbell and her chatty daughter greet everyone in a beautiful 18th-century ambiance. Entrees include meats, seafood and salads. Reservations recommended.
