    My husband and I had another memorable evening at our favorite restaurant The Village Pub. The waitress was discreet, attentive, warm, and prompt. I always order the duck and last night's dish was even better than what I remembered. My husband's entry the prawns was a new addition and was absolutely delicious.

    Great flavors and interesting food! Our table of 4 was unable to talk to each other due to the noise and techno music, and this put a damper on our experience. We were also unable to hear the descriptions of the food when it was delivered. Only underground parking was available
