This restaurant is one of our favorites. As the premier steakhouse in Williamsburg, Virginia, their dinner menu is something so special that we often send our newly-wed couples for dinner. But while this restaurant has a menu perfect for special occasions, they also have a great $10 lunch menu, ideal for a ladies lunch out. This versatility is what makes Opus 9 one of our go-to venues.
