We had a bad experience in Williamsburg. We sat in a restaurant, rather nice,
and didn't get any attention for a long time. We finally walked out.

This was during our honeymoon. We did some camping but we were clean. Other
places we visited during this trip, like Gatlinburg, Pittsburgh, Virginia
Beach, Toledo and such treated us better. I know it's not the town, but just
one bad restaurant there. But, I still have this bad feeling about
Williamsburg just because we were treated like non-people (sorry). I felt that
they didn't think we were worthy or something weird. Just because of that I
don't think we'll return there.
