Sid Hall Builds Williamsburg’s Restaurant Empire | Virginia Beach News

Sid Hall, Williamsburg’s rising culinary force, just won Entrepreneur of the Year—turning his family’s food legacy into a booming seven-restaurant empire. Once in finance, he pivoted after cooking weekends at Smithfield, then seized pandemic-era opportunities to take over and revamp beloved spots. His bold moves? Launching fusion steak-sushi spot Ember and The Jewish Mother’s Deli (run by his fiancée), plus expanding into Cochon on 2nd and Moody’s Kitchen with Chef Neil Griggs at the helm. In just two years, revenue jumped 250%, staff hit 250+, and he’s building community through events and charity. With a refresh planned for Waypoint and eyes on more locations, Hall’s mission? To put Williamsburg on the map as the go-to for world-class food and unforgettable hospitality. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
