Such a wonderful dining service at Cochon on 2nd. Highly recommend treating yourself to a fancy dinner at this establishment while staying in Colonial Williamsburg! The pork belly, duck breast, and salmon were delicious. Even the bread, butter and salt were extraordinary. Our server, Emily, was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.

Wood burning fireplace, excellent wine list, hanger steak and pork chop both cooked just as ordered. Prompt, courteous service. Vanilla crème brûlée was outstanding, not served with any fruit, just as it should be. Very rich, creamy custard and lovely sweet crunchy top. Why would anyone think raspberries would be a good thing on crème brûlée? (Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine)

Dinner and drinks were amazing (dirty martini w/extra olives, original margarita on the rocks w/salt, sticky ribs, and beef tenderloin w/a yummy mushroom sauce) but the service was top notch! Kieran was so professional that made the experience unforgettable and Jill (one of the managers) understood our sense of humor and gave us a good laugh. What a great way to end the day. Will definitely be back when we are in town.

Great one day post Christmas meal. Shawn took great care of us. The lamb I had was the best ever, and my husband’s duck was very tender. We both had fabulous cocktails, and the bread pudding to conclude did not disappoint. This is also a great place to enjoy great wine with the meal, as the markup is very low. This is not my first visit to this restaurant, and I look forward to my next memorable meal here.

Had our 1st NYE dinner in Williamsburg at Cochon and was impressed from first entry to the final bill. Great customer service and the food and drink were outstanding. Their craft cocktails were delicious and the duck breast was one of the best I have ever had. Will be recommending a return trip for a regular dinner.

Leslie North

Everything here was absolutely amazing. The manager was extremely gracious, helpful, accomodating, and went above and beyond for us. Our server Kieran (sp?) was also wonderful and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely outstanding. We definitely will return as soon as possible.

Roger Hodges

Wonderful experience! Michelle and Primo were spot on!!! Primo really knew his stuff and recommended a wine for my girlfriend (who doesn't like wine) which she enjoyed and we purchased a bottle to take away! Will definitely make again!
