   Abby was our wait person and she was friendly and attentive. Food was great - mussels shared and then the gnocchi and the Asian salmon for each of us Will definitely come back again.

   Had an amazing birthday brunch, food wise everything was great. However, our server said she was new so she had no clue about the menu or any answers to the questions we had about celebrating a birthday.

   We had an amazing birthday lunch here! Everything was wonderful from start to finish. The ambiance is beautiful, the service friendly and the food outstanding. We enjoyed the French onion soup and lamb lollipops as an appetizer. My family also had the rack of lamb as a main dish and everyone said it was delicious. Desserts and drinks also wonderful. We will be back!

   From start to finish all the drinks and food we ordered was great! We were told the kitchen was backed up as it was Valentine’s Day and that did not surprise us, nor did we wait that long for our appetizers to come out. We ordered oysters and a salad which was perfect. The oysters were shucked and cleaned perfectly, and the salad was delicious. Our drinks were great, we tried the mai Thai as well as the lychee martini, as well as a mojito and a dry martini. They had blue cheese stuffed olives for the martini which is always a plus. The main course was also perfectly done, we got the paella as well as two tapas for the mains; lamb lollipops cooked perfectly and season perfectly and the scallops (both of these were tapas but made up my main course) the lobster sauce used on the scallops was heavenly. We are both caterers and it’s so nice to have a meal cooked for us after cooking and serving others all the time. We have zero complaints and will be returning. Chef did an amazing job even under the pressure of a full dinning room.

   We came for a Sunday Brunch before most. Our waitress volunteered to take our picture. The Bloody Mar extraordinary. The octopus was not tough at all. It was accompanied by some great arugula and tomatoes. The tuna tartare was perfect. Finished it off with an espresso.

   I sat at the bar and had a mixed drink and their goat cheese salad and a New York steak with broccoli and roasted potatoes. The portions sizes were a good size and everything tasted great. The bartender was courteous and friendly and checked with me a few times during my meal. I would have had dessert but nothing on the menu struck my fancy Typical attire was business casual which gave the impression of upscale however a group of guys at the bar were in T-shirts and one wore a wool hat. That took away from the otherwise nice atmosphere. I’d return again for another meal for sure!

   First ones there for Sunday brunch. Fast service, tasty bloody marys. Eggs Benedict and Pancakes were delicious. Music was a little loud, but not worth complaining about. Next time we'll have Mimosas or Sangría, both "endless" during Sunday Brunch. We WILL be back, with friends.

    What a great place. We have been dining here since their Post Road location. Food is always fresh and cooked perfectly. Great desserts and drinks. Love that they have decaf cappuccino. It was louder than normal bc of New Year’s Eve but we knew it would be. Only negatives are that we didn’t care for how close our tables were. The couples on both sides were within elbow range. Not comfortable. Again, New Year’s Eve probably caused this. Best food in the area.

    We had to ask for bread, then ask for butter, then ask for salt and pepper. Our waitress was not the most pleasant. My husband ordered lobster ravioli and he thinks they served him plain cheese, not one hint of lobster. Although my dinner was very good and the ambiance was very nice, we were disappointed.

    I wanted to really like this place. The Server was never in sight., had to ask other servers for water, another drink, etc. I ordered the lollipop lamb chops medium rare, the cut was beautiful however they came to me rare. Then to fix them they put each chop on a hot grill and were not edible. They made a new order and cut into each chop to check the temperature and well you know what happens when you do that- all the juices run out. The side salad had so much dressing on it that It was not edible. I had asked for the dressing on the side.😩! My son ordered a Wagu burger medium and it came out well done. The manager said “I’m sorry your having a bad night “ OK , I replied “no your restaurant is having a bad night”! He gave us 1 free beer and 10% off the bill. I left hungry and disappointed.

    Village Bistro has a lovely patio. There isn’t much traffic so it is a quiet spot for lunch. The server was very pleasant. The lunch menu is small but I had the chicken sandwich and it was very good.

    Made reservation during the week and it did not mention brunch but that was the menu on Sunday. The food was nothing special the wagyu burger was not wagyu and had better burgers at barbecues. Order an appetizer and it came at the same time as the food. The service was not much better as we order two bottles of sparkling water and they brought one sparkling and one non-sparkling. Also, the wrong brand and served us with a broken glass. I wouldn't recommend going this restaurant!!!!!!

    Wait time for the food was two hours. I understand it was Mother’s Day but if you’re so busy then don’t take new reservations, or don’t charge a full price for this horrible experience (it’s not a cheap restaurant)... We ended up taking the food home because the kids were tired of the wait.

    The restaurant was immensely overbooked and understaffed. The management overwhelmed the servers, bartenders and hosts. They promoted a brunch and did not even offer the brunch menu. Mother’s Day was ruined for my family after waiting 2 hours and not even receiving all of our apps. The owner of this restaurant should hire managers that know how to set a restaurant up for success and apologize to the servers for putting them through such a terrible day.

    It was really disappointing. Our waitress was rude and kept bringing us wrong orders. Our food came out at different times. Mine was cold my moms French toast was burnt. The server kept rolling her eyes. Then put 20% sating we had a large party but it was just 4 of us. She only added the gratuity bc she knew we were so upset. Really unfortunate we won’t be coming back. She was a small Spanish lady she she wouldn’t be serving tables or work in hospitality

    We reserved for outdoors for a graduation celebration party of 8. We were not told they would not accommodate such a large party outdoors until we arrived at the door. It turned out to be fine but not what we expected. That said, food was good although it was very slow to come out.

    The kitchen knows it’s way around a wide variety of ingredients and cooking styles. The lobster salad, tune tartar and ribeye were outstanding. The scallops with risotto was solid but it’s clear the risotto is partially precooked and finished for service. It’s more warm creamy rice with flavor than a risotto. The service is attentive and warm. The owner or manager is checking in regularly to ensure nothing gets overlooked. The place is hard to pin down in a short summary as it spans tapas and pizza to $139 tomahawk steak. At the upper end one expects expert presentation, perfect sides and a high attention to detail. At the other end of the menu good flavor and value for you money are the norm. The kitchen is trying to please both ends and gets it right more often than not.

    Used to visit this place when it was the Beach House. They have maintained their quality when it comes to food and their menus. 5 star excellence Not sure than a change in furniture was necessary or that the new ones are any better. Service staff was short and inattentive. They need training by English or French workers who excel at service
