Not only was the space itself beautiful, comfortable, and well thought out- every dish was delicious, and the service was impeccable. A definite highlight was the chocolate cake, and the tuna tartar was divine. Nick, our waiter, and all of the rest of the crew- were top notch. We came for a birthday celebration, and I’m certain we will return.

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!

We had been hoping to go back to Flea Strret for a year and we were not disappointed when we finally got a reservation and dined last night. Jesse greeted us at the door, the service was very good and every choice from the beef tartare to the wild King salmon was delicious. It was a lovely evening and we won’t let another year pass before we return.
