 we walked into happy hour, pleasant surprise, the bartender was moving pretty fast and she was very helpful. We had a couple appetizers at the bar and then we moved to the table. We noticed they had problems with the music at the bar and then in the dining room, there really wasn't any music on. We asked them to put it on and they did, but it was super low so we went back-and-forth, but other than that, the food was good. The value is solid, the decor was really nice...

This is a great little place right outside of Atlantic City. I had Shrimp Franchese and I really liked the taste. The only thing I didn't care for was that the dish did not have enough sauce and the shrimp still had tails on them. Also, there is no bread basket. The service was great and well paced. We were very disappointed that the dessert selection was quite limited. The waiter said the delivery was not due until the next day.

Attended a funeral luncheon today at the Villa and it had to be one of the best luncheon I have ever attended. From the atmosphere to the food and the service everything was spot on. With over 160 guest attending everything went very smoothly using two rooms with separate buffets. The food ranged from rolled roast beef, chicken parm, chicken florientine vodka ziti along with mixed vegetables and ceaser salad all of which were delicious. Service was exceptional
