Silt opened this year in Williamsburg filling in where Le Yaca used to be near the Busch Gardens side of town. and after our first visit we were enchanted. I celebrated my birthday here and we knew we wanted to try their tasting menu, so our anniversary was the next major occasion for us to celebrate. The food is Southern inspired but with lots of local and seasonal ingredients. Along with the tasty food conceived by Executive Chef Nelson Miller they have a great cocktail list courtesy of bar manager Amber. They took great care of us this evening with a delicious tasting menu with wine pairing and I know we will be back!

We had a wonderful time at One Market. We were able to secure the Chef’s Table for the evening so we sat in the kitchen and were able to see all the preparations for most of our meal along with the impressive assembly line they had going for a large dinner party going on at the same time. We were treated wonderfully by all of the staff and even got an extra mini tour of their wine cellar. As part of the evening Jeremy and I also got to assist in preparing the desserts, brûlée our creme brûlée and decorating the plates with various sauces. A fantastic evening and very highly recommended if you are in the Bay area.
