    Three of us had a lovely birthday celebration for a lady friend. The RH Rooftop Restaurant was the perfect place in a lovely and elegant setting. The service provided by Isabella was discreet, efficient and not overbearing. We all ordered the chicken salad that had pieces of grilled chicken in it. The dressing was bit too vinegary, but the salad was good. We shared an order of crisp fries. The meal ended with a candle and warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie as a special treat for the birthday girl. We would definitely go back again, and not just for a special celebration. As we were leaving, Isabelle asked if we’d like to have our picture taken. She suggested posing in front of the beautiful fountain located in the center of the restaurant. It was such a thoughtful gesture, we now have a fond photo memory of our birthday luncheon.

    We love the Village Pub. We are loyal guests coming for 15 years. And though we moved away, we make sure we have dinner here whenever we get back to the bay. Dinner and service last night was top notch again. The duck was phenomenal and so was the truffle stuffed chicken. Followed by the always delicious chocolate soufflé and the beignets. Can’t wait to come back
