Came here based on a social media post and it appears this place is overhyped. They had Belly Dancing show when we came but the music was pumped up so loud that our waitress needed to maneuver around to take each of our orders. Drinks were decent but that was about the best thing for us here and the reason for at least 2 stars. We ordered a chicken sandwich with no mustard and the sandwich came doused in mustard, replacement came and the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. Another person in the group ordered medium rare steak and it came out more than extremely rare, they recooked it and completely charred the outside of the steak and also had no flavor. We ordered falafels which never came and had to be “reordered” and Garlic Parmesan wings were lackluster in the cheese sauce they were sitting atop of. Condiments came in disposable paper cups which didn’t go with any of the tableware and made the food feel cheap. Overall terrible experience as nothing was really done to remedy any of the problems we had here or the extra time we had to wait, we didn’t even have a manager come by to acknowledge anything. Not worth another visit for us.

I went to the Easter brunch today and it was awful Every time I went up half of the chaffing dishes were empty.Three people in my party wanted eggs Benedict and they had to wait 20 minutes I thought the pork was tough On Easter ham is usually present but there was none.The dessert pastry was dry and just not that good. A big disappointment The best part of the experience was our waitress She was kind attentive and always smiling

Such a cozy restaurant right by the beach! Their menu has such a great variety of Mediterranean dishes. We were happy with everything we’ve on both of our visits! Attentive service, and I appreciated that they made me a fantastic pineapple mojito mocktail. This is a great spot to know about.

A little pricey for food, but great drinks and the ambiance at the bar is amazing. The walls and decor is so beautiful, 1920's wine cellar vibes.

Our book club met Monday night here. We had a very enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and the waitress personable and attentive. I've visited here in the warmer weather, enjoying their patio seating -- I'm adding this to my regular winter locations, too.

We recently enjoyed a lovely, leisurely happy hour and eventual diner. Cocktails were wonderful, as were the lightly fried calamari. The charcuterie board was varied and pleasing with meats, olives, fruits, and spreads.I had the creamy pesto gnocchi with shrimp, which was delightful. My companions had roast chicken with spinach and roast potatoes and the rack of lamb with a veg and mash potatoes. We all were pleased and ended our night quite happy.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for anywhere honestly, I am just not that type of person, but this experience was really unlike any other I’ve had, and not in a good way. We went for Valentine’s day, we did not know that we could only order off of their small valentines menu, we almost left when finding that out, but I understand why they would do that. We were never given silverware or menus when sat, we waited an hour+ for our meal, we ended up being the last ones in the restaurant sitting because our food took so long. The food wasn’t terrible, but after waiting all of that time, I was missing a side from my entree, and there was hair in my boyfriends food that was blonde.. we both have dark brown hair. It came to about $200 with a tip, all we got was the $125 shared Valentines meal, one mixed drink and one soda. I understand they were busy, I was a server/bartender for years, so I feel torn writing this. But this is supposed to be a high end restaurant, it was supposed to be a fun romantic dinner, but we ended up playing hangman on napkins to kill time and just wanted to leave, because we didn’t want to keep waiting. $200 is NOT cheap for a meal, small portions, hair in our food, and missing sides. I wish I said something while we were there, but we just wanted to leave after being there for 2 hours. The server was sweet, always tip 20% regardless of anything, they are working so hard. But I really find this unacceptable for what we paid.

This place is amazing as long as it isn’t Valentine’s Day. I mean it. 100/10 on food, ambience, service…everything. It never misses, so I thought. Valentine’s Day? A miss. Food overcooked, limited menu without any mention of this before hand, and the waitstaff is LITERALLY sprinting past the tables (except Lupe she is wonderful). You get all this for a minimum price of $125. I would come here 364 days out of 365. I want my rehearsal dinner here that’s how amazing it is. But a date on Valentine’s Day? I’d rather spend time at the Cracker Barrel.
Wow!! What a Valentines Day dinner! The food, the live music, the atmosphere!! A slice of heaven. This place is unmatched. We were met with smiles by a very engaging hostess and served by a well-trained staff. Couldn't ask for more! Definitely one of our Faves!!!!

Had a wonderful time checking out village bistro for ladies night which we learned they do every Thursday AND ladies get half off drinks! The food was fantastic, we tried the waygu burgers, the Gambos, empanadas, olives and the crème brûlée! All were fantastic! Our server Dylan was the best! He was very attentive and shared a bunch of laughs with us! The bar area has plenty of room for dancing and overall we had a fantastic time! Looking forward to going back to try more off of their menu!

Quality of the food was good, drinks were OK. Valentines Day they were short on servers so took awhile for someone to come to our table. I had to ask the hostess for water after 20/30mins sitting there with no one coming by the table. Guests next to us were saying the same thing to us. The saxophonist was so loud that I could not hear my date sitting in front of me. The design on the building and decor of the inside really make it comfy and cozy, just need some more quality of food (not the way it's cooked, the chef gave it flavor, but better quality meat would be really turn the dish around) and quality drinks. Not sure if well liquor was used or not but can definitely sense something was off with the drinks.

This is a very nice restaurant. We went for Valentine's Day, and although the menu was limited (it was a special menu for that day), the dinner was excellent. I had a grilled goat rib dinner that was amazing; I think it was the best cooked goat I've ever eaten. It was super tender and paired excellent with the spinach, mashed potatoes and a Cabernet wine. The salad that came with it was also incredible. My wife ordered a lobster ravioli and a steak that was also very good. Probably the only thing that wasn't outstanding was the desert. I had a lava cake, which was very good. However, the red velvet cake my wife ordered was a little disappointing; not terrible, but compared to everything else, we felt it didn't meet the same standard. Nonetheless, we had an excellent night. The atmosphere was very nice, and it was fabulous having a live saxophonist playing throughout the evening. The ambiance was very mellow and made for a very enjoyable dinner. I would very much like to go back again.
