I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!

Consistently spectacular. What an amazingly creative chef, consistently incredible service and the host make sure every detail is taken care of flawlessly We are regulars and love how the menu changes and new exciting specials show up all the time. Everything is amazing but we do have favorites in particular The Crepe appetizers and the Jagerschnitzel and whatever duck creation they do. If you haven't come here yet I don't know what you're waiting for

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ben Zhu · Dec 2025

TLDR: “Fine dining" imposter serving confused, metallic-tasting, low-quality food in a neglected space with broken restrooms. The Menu & Value The "Tasting Menu" ($65) is misleading since it’s essentially a standard prix-fixe sampler of the main menu (they just have smaller versions of existing menu items) and NOT a curated menu like you’d usually expect. This highlights the menu’s lack of focus, which jumps disjointedly from Tuna Sashimi Tiradito and Duck Meatball Carbonara to Organic Chicken Jagerschnitzel. It feels like a collection of buzzwords rather than a chef's vision. Food Quality The execution did not match the premium price point. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel ($38), and the quality was unacceptable. The breading lacked crunch, and the meat was incredibly tough, with silver ski

Had our anniversary dinner there last night and everything was perfection, as usual. We've come here many times over the years and it's about time we left a review because this place deserves all the stars. Never had a bad meal or service and there's something to be said about consistency. Thanks for ending our anniversary celebration on a high note. See you soon!

Love the duck. So juicy and flavorful. Tuna tartar is very fresh and full of flavor. Pork chop is great as well. But wishing the bread should served warm not cold
