The Village Tavern

Tried their Prime Rib (12 ounce portion for $22.75), comes with a Mixed Green Salad and a side. This was as good as any prime rib in the area that I've tried - including Fleming's on Sundays. The meat was perfectly cooked as requested - medium rare.

Also tried their BBQ Baby Back Ribs (($18.95 for a full rack, along with FF & Cole Slaw) and they were very nice, for my tastes anyway - some spice, only a little sweetness. Their Loaded Baked Potato was awesome, as well.

And finally, the Carrot Cake here is the best I've had in a restuarant - large slice for $6.95. I don't care for everything they do here, but some of their items are great.

I look at the Village Tavern and I think to myself, "Wow, this is a really cool looking place!"  The decor is really nice, it has a beautiful outdoor seating area, and the bar is actually tolerable.

The service has always been ok, I think the servers do a job as well as you would expect.  They were always cordial, polite, and did a good job of taking care of me when I have been there.

However, the food has always left a little something to be desired.  Everything I have ordered tastes like it is over salted.  I've tried multiple items off of the menu, but nothing wows me.  I mean, the food is ok, but I'd expect much higher quality meals based off of the atmosphere and decor of this restaurant.

Village Tavern have redeemed themselves.  We decided to give them another shot, and things were *much* improved this time around.  Service was prompt and friendly, our orders were correct the first time, and everything was tasty.

Thanks for making it right, VT!  We'll be back.
