Village Tavern

We had dinner there last. Ordered a variety from soup, salad, appetizer and entrée. While not the worst food we ever had, it was so tasteless that we don’t plan on going back.

Sub-​Par, each time I eat here… I never get a well-​cooked burger. Last time we ordered a burger medium well (supposed to be little pink) and it was VERY pink! Today, ordered a burger and my mom did too… We both ordered medium well, close to well done… And hers was bleeding. Mine was not bleeding, but once again very pink. Yuck. I don’t think we’ll eat here again.

The scallops were awesome. They were accommodating with my special dietary requests. The patio was nice however service was slower than usual. The live music was great too.

The food here is good, the ambiance feels right, and the bartender’s are great. However, the drinks are on the pricey side for a «tavern».

Horrible. Will not be back. Ordered a salad and it literally took over an hour. It was bland even with the dressing in it. The tuna looked fake. way too pink.

Going with 3.5 on this one. I’ve been going to Village Tavern off and on for the last few years. I visit during lunch time as my office is located nearby. I’ve also been here for dinner and brunch on just one occasion.
They have a large patio area which is nice during the cooler months. They also have a fairly large bar area.
The dining room is large and very open. There are mostly booths available throughout the dining room.
The service has always been consistent here for me. Sherry usually takes care of me and she is the best!
I usually go with the crispy chicken tacos here. It consists of chicken tenders, mango cilantro coleslaw and chipotle mayonnaise. It also comes with a side of rice and beans. These are great for me. The chicken is nice and crunchy and the coleslaw and chipotle mayonnaise come together well to compliment the flavor. The rice and beans are enjoyable as well.
I’ve also had the cheesesteak sandwich. It comes with a side of au jus for dipping! Unfortunately I find the sandwich to be just OK. I find the meat to be consistently overcooked and dry. Also like most places they place the cheese on top of the meat once it is in the bread. The issue with me on that is that you don’t get the full flavor of the sandwich. I like it when they place the cheese on the meat, let it slightly melt and then mix it throughout the meat. You just get better flavor that way. Sorry, the tangent is over. On the other hand I’ve had their cheesesteak lunch special which is the same as the regular one but, the only difference is that on this one they use a cheese sauce. This version is much better than their regular version in my opinion.
Their burgers are good here and are a solid choice. I’ve had several different ones and they have all been good.
They also have pretty good steaks here. They serve CAB (certified angus beef), which I haven’t found common for chain restaurants to use. I’ve only ordered steak on a few occasions. They have been cooked as requested each time that I’ve had one.
The only dessert that I’ve had here is the St. Barth’s chocolate torte, which is chocolate cake and ice cream. I found it to be just alright. It was bland flavor wise to me.
All in all Village Tavern is a solid choice in the area.

Great food and variety for the money! Great wine list and I know wine. all you uneducated foodies out there stop trashing this place and go back to chili’s where you belong​.thanks​.my wife and I have been there 5 times and have never been disappointed!

I’ve been to this restaurant 3 times now. Every time has been great. As a warning, it’s best to make a reservation as this place is always packed (and don’t be surprised if everyone around you is 70+). The menu is very large, great options. I enjoy their blackened chicken alfredo, while my husband has enjoyed their steaks. Our servers have always been attentive and helpful. As a whole, the restaurant is definitely a nice little treat.

This place is extremely hard to get in so that is usually a good sign. I would classify this place as home cooking/​diner food but upscale. everything is made from scratch… I would highly recommend

I dont know what the fuck happened today March 30^th 2016. I called in and placed an order for a steak salad. When i got home and opened the container it looked as though they had one of their Haitian cooks use his foot to make It. The salad had stale tomatoes some of the lettuce was already turning brown and they gave very little steak. This wasn’t at all worth my $ 15. I should have went Lemon grass instead and had their ginger salad for $ 2. I was extremely unhappy with my purchase. This salad shouldnt be worth nothing more than $ 5. Wendys does it better than Tavern when coming to salads. I’m so pissed off I feel as though I should never return back for their sunday brunch anymore.

My girlfriend and i went into village tavern on a friday after making a reservation on open table. We had to wait ten minutes but thats no big deal. Are waitress was very knowledgeable and fun which helps in all restaurants. The bacon wrapped scallops as a appetizer are to die for! Also i had a filet as my entrée and so did my girlfriend and it was cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend to all.

I have been to this restaurant twice. The first time was a very pleasant experience. About 10 people celebrated my father’s birthday, and the food, atmosphere and price were very good. Last night however three of us arrived without reservations and the wait was already an hour for inside seating. Although it was a bit cold we decided to sit outside to sit immediately. But the service was extremely slow, and the server didn’t come over to explain until we finally asked her to.
Although I’m sure she was very busy, the server was needlessly unpleasant We took the food to go. The manager did take half off the bill and apologized. I know now not to come without a reservation, especially during the high season.

Food subpar. Service awful. Too many rest here in BB so will not be back.
Ordered Benedict but kitchen or server couldn’t get right.
Just happy to leave. And Valentines… come on bring it up a notch.

So impressed with this place. Great location, plenty of outside dining. Everything is made from scratch, great food choices. Even the specials are interesting and not the same as everywhere else. The three of us all got something different and it was all wonderful. Prime rib, fish special and salad. Definitley order some of the homemade potato chips. They are addictive.
Great service with a knowledgeable waitstaff. We’ll definitely go back.

My husband and I went to Village Tavern on a rare date night — and we were glad we did! Our waitress was top notch — even giving us a last-​call warning for another round before the happy hour deals ($ 3 house wine and $ 6 wells when we were there on a Fri) ended. Food was so good — we got the calamari for an appetizer, which was crispy and served with a sweet chili sauce — a tasty alternative to marinara. My husband ordered prime rib for an entrée — he is super picky, but noted how flavorful it was, even the fat. I got shrimp and grits for my entrée and was incredibly pleased — grits were smooth, creamy, and had the right amount of cheese; mushrooms and bacon were the perfect compliment to the generous portion of grilled shrimp. We both ate every bite. Unfortunately, we were both too full to go for dessert — but the menu had some great options.
The downside was ambiance — it was very crowded with the over 70 set — we were the youngest in the dining room by FAR. There is an early bird special from 3:30 — 5:30 — so the dining room was already packed before we arrived at 6:15. We (thankfully) had reservations — I heard the hostess tell others in the lobby that the wait was 45 min– 1 hour for a table. Also — it’s one large dining room with several rows of booths, so you can see the entire room of diners from any table. Having been to their Denver location previously, which was much more intimate, I was disappointed that they didn’t do better here.
There were no children that we could see — we asked the waitress if they had a kids menu, and she said they did, so thinking of going again with the whole family.
Overall — a great visit with top notch food and service, but lacking a bit in ambiance.

Okay, first of all let me say that I’m giving this place 4 stars only because I haven’t tried everything on the menu. That being said, every time I have gone, I have been blown away by taste extraordinary extravaganza!
I have been here several times before and always order the shrimp and grits. I have never been a fan of shrimp, nor grits, however they make the combination a winning entre! The grits are so flavorful and cheesy, it pairs so well with the shrimp which is not fishy or overwhelming.
Our last visit I decided to change things up a bit. I ordered the teriyaki trout, but requested to have broccoli and grits instead of the green beans and whatever else came with it. I can now tell you that I have a new favorite! The trout was tender and not over seasons with teriyaki. I like that they kept the skin on as well! They gave me the grits and the broccoli on separate plates but I ended up putting the trout over the grits with broccoli along the side on top of the grits as well. This was an absolute stunning flavor mashup!
My one and only complaint about this place is that when you were waiting for a table people jam up in front of the hostess station and don’t allow for clear passage between restaurant and bar.
This place seems to always be busy, especially in season so if you plan on going, either make a reservation or get there early as parking is a mob scene!
Again, if the restaurant could please figure out a waiting area, that would be great as the lobby just gets too crazy.
If you haven’t tried this place then you really need to go check it out!

Wonderful staff and great menu with happy hour specials from 4PM-​6PM
Happy hour deal includes glasses of wine starting at $ 3, top shelf liquors and little plate specials. «Little plates» are not so little. Flatbreads are very good and filling. Potato wedges are different and filling. Not a typical potato skin either. They had a great selection of salads, chicken and meat plates. Many GF and vegatarian options as well. They have ample outside covered seating and inside is a good size and nice atmosphere.

Good service, nice staff the atmosphere has more of an older crowd. The food isn’t that great to come back for. I wouldn’t recommend ordering the chicken Parmesan. The chicken was wet and the breading on the chicken was soggy. The fettuccine pasta had an odd old taste.

I had a date here the other day and it was my first dining experience here. We dined at around 7pm on a Friday night and the place was packed. With no reservation, we quickly grabbed two open spots at the bar.
Note– make a reservation for Friday (weekend dining).
A wide variety of patrons– lots of local, regulars there who were eager to chat with you while they waited for their food.
Meals come with complimentary bread, but they won’t give it to you unless you ask. Ask for it because it’s so good.
I had the chicken alfredo which was good. Initially I thought the portion was really small, but the plate kept going and going.
I didn’t think the prices were too high considering the restaurant had what felt like an, «upscale» feel. Not that it was fancy but one off those places that wanted to be fancy.
It was really noisy there so it was difficult to talk.
Get a burger if you go– everyone around me had one and they looked delicious. Oh, and the potato salad looked pretty bomb too. Let me know how it is if you get it!

Sean was a great server! Had a party of 7. We were pleased with the short wait although the restaurant was very busy on a Friday night. Everything on the menu is a hit! Big portions on the meals.
