   Food was very good, but service was not. We made a reservation, but they seated us in an isolated table in the sunroom and forgot about us. Waitress was very nice, but she repeatedly forgot to come back to take our order and check on us. We still had a nice evening, but I would insist on being in the main dining room next time.

   The fish was very good and the waiter was very accommodating. One item was sold out but the substitute fish dish was just as good.

   Steak was way over cooked. Took it off the bill but ruined my New Year Eve meal. Too bad the kitchen was closing at 7pm with our 6:30 reservations. Won’t be returning for a while.

    Outstanding old-fashioned New England seafood restaurant. We’ve been going for over 30 years and we’ve always had the same wonderful waitress!

    We were there at an off-peak hour: 4pm on Saturday. The food was hit-or-miss... The steamed clams were very gritty even when rinsing them in the broth, and a fair number had broken shells. The clam chowder also had a lot of grit in it. The fried clams and scallops, on the other hand, were sweet and delicious—perfectly fried. The onion rings and french fries that came with them were good. The cole slaw wasn't my favorite, but was OK. Service also varied... The waitress initially seemed to think she was doing us a favor by taking hour order, she didn't know the answers to fairly simple questions about the menu, and basically seemed like she didn't want to be there. Once we had ordered, though, she was more attentive and proactively asked about additional drinks, etc. When it came time to ask for the check, she once again took a long time—from the time we asked for the check until the time she brought back the charge slip to sign was probably 20 minutes. Especially when you consider that "market price" for a plate of fried clams was $40-ish, it was not the greatest experience—and certainly not worth our 40-minute drive to get there.

    I was born and raised in New England and I have to say that this is my very favorite seafood restaurant anywhere! The baked haddock is absolutely perfect. In fact everything on the menu is outstanding. Our server Abbie is the best! I would not go any place else for seafood!

    One of my favorite restaurants. Be sure to try the Stuffed Sole or Baked Haddock. The fried fish is always perfect. I love the onion rings. There are chicken and beef choices for those that don’t go for fish. Recommended.

    Drove hour and half. Food was 12 out of 10. Chef there is amazing. WOW. French onion soup, in my top 3 all time. Our seafood we ordered, amazing. Just wish our waitress was more attentive. I shouldn’t have to chase water, lemon and tarter sauce. There was a waiter in training that wanted nothing more to talk and keep his customers happy. He’s gonna be real good. That being said, overall, I’m very impressed. I did still leave 25% tip because my wife was so happy. Yes, I will go there again and recommend.

    Excellent It has been 4 years since we were last here from the UK due to the pandemic. We found that the restaurant we have visited on many previous occasions has bounced back and is as good as ever. Great location, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Service is quick and efficient. The food is superb as ever. What more can I say. Many thanks to the staff at The Village

    We had a reservation and we were seated on time. Unfortunately we were seated at a picnic style table which doesn't work well for elderly people. We put a chair on the end of the table for my dad. Next time I will specify the kind of seating we need for him. The food was very good but the service was slow. We added an item to the order, a cup of chowder, and never received it. The wait staff were pleasant but not enough help seemed to be available given it was a busy holiday evening.

    We love the Village Restaurant when we want our seafood. I had the fried clam roll. Plenty of fresh Essex clams cooked just right My husband had the fried shrimp. Delicious good sized shrimp also cooked just right. The French fries and cole slaw were also very good. Plenty of desserts to choose from. I had the yummy Indian pudding with vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend

    Two of the orders were overcooked. Clam strips were awesome. I had notified them when making the reservation it was a double birthday. I was charged $3 a plate to cut a cake that I brought. Thought that was outrageous. I left the remainder of the cake for the waitstaff to enjoy. Server was fabulous! Not returning anytime soon.
