    Had a wonderful meal here ! We have visited this restaurant several times and each time has been very enjoyable. Dinner selections are diverse and tasty. Our family had a hamburger, salmon, roasted chicken and a beef salad which were all delicious. Waitress was polite and attentive. Great experience and see you again soon.

    One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The assortment of food choices is vast, and we tried so many appetizers that we had to split an entree and couldn't even finish that. I highly recommend the bone marrow, pork belly, and Sea Bass nuggets. The Beef Tartare was probably the best I have ever had. Our Ribeye was cooked perfectly and while I'm not usually a potato guy, the way they do their LB Potato is really good. We loved the Creme Brule but they had so many desserts that we wish we could have tried them all. Ask for Jay's section if you go. He is one of the best servers in America!

    The village pub had a New Year day brunch with a prix fixe menu of 3 courses. For each part of the menu there were many choices. The dishes were excellent. The burrata salad was amazing with the most delicious and delicate burrata. This was a great lunch to begin the new year for a good price!

    The food is good, the service is good. There was almost no one there for lunch. The prices seem very high which could explain the drop off of guests at lunch from days gone by.
