A great dinner tonight with friends. This is one of our favorite places in Williamsburg. It is very quaint and the food is excellent. They also have a really good wine list that is reasonably priced.

What a fantastic experience. The drinks, the service, and the food were excellent. This has got to be the best restaurant in the Williamsburg area. Cancel your other reservations and go here, you won't be disappointed!

Looking for a place to go for a fancy dinner, or in our case our 5 year anniversary? This is the spot, located right outside of historic colonial Williamsburg, Cochon’s on 2nd was special. The hosts and servers were personal and always around. The food is literally to die for, amazing selections. Great wine and cocktail menu and selection as well. Highly recommend.
Best restaurant in Williamsburg...it's a close call with Le Yaca, but I think Cochon edges it out. Fat Canary and Opus 9 are good but one step down.

We have eaten here twice. Once to celebrate my wife and I’s wedding and then to celebrate her 30th birthday. Both times we have had excellent service and the food has been great. If we didn’t live 1hr away we would come here way more often. We highly recommend this place!

First time. Had chef's special. Excellent! Renee our waitress gave exceptional service. Wine list held many I know well to be excellent selections. The Albariño was out of this world with the main course clam dish. Cochin on 2nd is a new “go to” place for us after a perfect evening out.

We enjoyed the wine dinner and it was unbelievable!! Met many people and the Chef was amazing. Great historical background on wine but didn't over do the lesson between each course. Best wine dinner pairing I have been to. Highly recommend
We enjoyed the night out and had high expectations of the culinary experience. The food was tasty and well prepared but did not meet our expectations. Sides were potatoes, green beans, and carrots for all entrees, which was too basic. Apple relish for the pork chop was over seasoned and not tasty. Octopus was tender, and fried oysters were great.
Nothing short of amazing. Fantastic choice for Lent with octopus salad and fish entrées. Great for date nights. We'll definitely be repeat patrols.

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant and the service is top notch. The food on the other hand is excellent sometimes and just slightly above average on others. As a culinary expert that specializes in Chesapeake bay seafood I’m a bit critical when it comes to seafood but this place sure can cook a pig! Try the pork chop!

Normally this place is a top-notch experience, but this visit was just OK. Probably an off night, with apparent short staffing and specials starting to run out early. Food was as good as ever, though!

Great find for date nights and one of the best Old Fashions I've had in a long time. I hope the octopus salad finds it way as a menu item. My wife absolutely loved the NY strip with the fois gras butter.

There were three members in our party. For the two, their entree were wonderful. I on the other hand did not order fish and I was disappointed. I ordered the pork chop. It was faty and rather chewy. The service was 5 star! The appetizers And the cocktails were delicious. I would recommend Cochin to a friend. I would tell them however, that it was very high end and not to order the pork chop.
