Village Tavern

We just had the best experience at Village Tavern. We had t been in a while but we figure we would try it again as it was our Anniversary! The food was amazing. I had the Catch of the Day and my husband had the grilled meatloaf. Let me say the Butter Cake will knock your socks Off as all of their desserts are made in house. However, the best part was our waitress(Morgan)!! She was knowledgeable, sweet and confident!! What we didn’t know until she brought our check was that WR were her first table EVER!! You would have never known it…she was a PRO! Thanks Morgan for making our Anniversary so special!

Got the mushroom Swiss burger and pimiento cheese dip. The burger had less than a tbsp of mayo, 3 full slices of tomatoes(??), and I got it medium but it was dry on the outside and very rare on the inside... The cheese dip wasn't fully melted and the tortilla chips were from a bag + slightly stale. The waitress was super sweet and accommodating and offered us recommendations as well. They offer happy hour but only if you're in the lounge or patio ... Not for regular seating.... Overall too expensive for the quality of the food but the staff are kind and helpful.

This was my wife's and I first time here. Not sure what I was expecting but with Tavern in the name, I was thinking peanut shells on the floor. Nope! It was beautifully decorated inside. We went on a Saturday around 5ish so it was not too crowded and got seated with no reservations. Our waitresses was very nice and repeated our order which was an added bonus. I had a Ceasar salad which was not drenched in dressing. It had the perfect amount. Then our mains came out. I had the Prime Rib. It was perfect. Some places you get a 14oz prime that is 10oz of fat, not thos place. Perfect amount of marbling. Only complaint was the horseradish didn't really have any bite to it, but that is ok. The Village Tavern is definitely added to our rotation of places to go. My wife had a burger that she said was good. Some places she gets a burger from and they are no better than Wendy's but this, she said was really good. The only reason I dropped lower in atmosphere was because we were seated next to the kitchen. I would say if you are going to have a discussion, move to an location not next to where people are sitting. Didn't bother me but some might have an issue. Parking: Just be aware that there are signs that says the restaurant is not responsible for lost items. Nothing happened when we were there, but follow the signs.

Great place, always busy. Great adult drink menu. My favorite adult beverage is Painkiller. Pizza is amazing as well

Though such a glamorous appearing tavern, I was most disappointed with the food I was served. I don’t believe it was because we came to visit during lunch time and perhaps the food was rushed to be served. It is evident that going here for the experience and maybe drinking are the only thing you may want to come here for, definitely not the food. The pictures appeared very appetizing, but the actual flavor does not reflect it at all. It could just be the options we chose but they all definitely did not meet our expectations. Grilled Chicken Teriyaki 1/5 – I have never been served teriyaki with grilled bell peppers like this and I did not find it any helpful in adding flavor to this dish. I don’t know if it is some modern twist on teriyaki, but it is a culinary failure. Apart from an underwhelming taste from the teriyaki sauce, the chicken was bland and did not take in any flavor from the already poorly made sauce. The portion size was really shocking, as I would barely have considered that a meal. Though everyone’s appetite differs, this portion size was excessively small. Even fancy restaurants nearby serve more than this. Grilled Meatloaf Dinner 2/5 – This dish almost passes as decent. If only the meat and potatoes both had more salt and flavor, it could actually make for a delicious dish. Adding a wine to the mushroom sauce or derivating it from a beef broth would have elevated this dish as well. Wings 1/5 – Nothing special. Your average low-quality wings that did not even have a good taste. Same ones you can get for much cheaper elsewhere. Really quite disappointing.

First, my wife and I both have LONG experience living in multiple parts of Asia. So we ordered the Thai Chicken Salad. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with Thai flavors. Thais are masters at combinations of the basic flavors of sweet, salty, spicy etc. This had NONE of these. The chicken was nice, but it was plain Western Roast chicken where the Thais would have marinated and basted it with a dozen different ingredients. I mentioned this shortcoming to the waiter, who was respectful. But he told me that their head chef "was from the Philippines." I think that was meant to "blunt" my criticism. Sadly, that culture, interesting as it is, has NOTHING to do with Thailand. At my request the waiter brought me some addition dressing which helped a bit. But still nothing remotely Thai. Mind you, the salad itself was fresh and crispy where appropriate. It's just that the flavoring was not even the two stars I gave it. By all means try Village Tavern, just don't order the Thai Chicken Salad unless my description appeals to you!

Server ARTHUR and Bartender GERMAN were AMAZING.
