Williamsburg

Opus 9 isn't trying to reinvent wine culture in Williamsburg — it's a reliable steakhouse with a well-maintained California list and the Wine Spectator hardware to back it up. If you want adventure, look elsewhere; if you want a solid Cab with your steak in a comfortable room, this gets the job done.

Amiraj is doing something genuinely unusual in the Indian restaurant space — a wine list with California muscle, Virginia local pride, and an actual Indian producer — and it holds together. If you're eating Indian food in Williamsburg and not engaging with this list, you're leaving the best part of the meal on the table.
