Excellent. Hidden gem right off 280. We enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. Our meals were delicious, and the service was impeccable. If I had known about this place earlier I would have checked it out sooner. If you're looking for a special night out that's close by without being in the thick of it all, this is your place.

Solid food overall. The cod and the duck dish were our favorites of the night. The pacing between courses could be better though. We felt rushed for the majority of the meal - servers were too quick to clear our plates and bring on the next course.

Had a great dinner here with a group of friends. The prix fixe menu is a 3-course meal with several options to choose from during each course. It's a bit pricy ($130/each) but well worth it and we all left feeling stuffed! Highly recommend this place and looking forward to coming back!

The Food While looking for a place for lunch, The Village Pub came up so we decided to give it a try. They have a semi set brunch menu for the guests to choose from. For us, we selected - Warm Cinnamon Roll with Passion Fruit Frosting (Starter) - Heirloom Chicory Salad (Appetizer) - Buckwheat Crepe (Appetizer) - Almond Wood-Grilled Petit Filet (Main) - Roasted Black Cod (Main) - Farmstead Cheese (Dessert) - Chocolate Souffle (Dessert) The cinnamon roll was a nice start. The bread had a nice crust on the outside, but it was nice and fluffy on the inside. The heirloom chicory salad was good, and the buckwheat crepe was unique. I got a bit confused with the petit filet. Don't get me wrong, it was good, and the potato rosti side was interesting. But did you know filet and fillet is one letter off? I originally thought the petit filet was a petit fillet. The dessert were pretty good close to the meal. The chocolate souffle was pretty rich, though not surprising. There is Mignardises at the end of the meal. We waited a bit before the check, but unfortunately we never got it. The Miscellaneous The restaurant is right off a main road, with parking towards the back (also front) of the building. The restaurant is a fairly spacious open area. There is a bar to the right of the entrance with dining tables to the left. During our visit, there were festive decorations around the dining area. The service was good, and the staff were kind and sincere. It was a comfortable dining environment.

12.25. Sunday Brunch menu was amazing ! Perfect oysters, and the black cod just melts in your mouth - almost the texture of scallop but not. It’s an incredible mouth feel of a Michelin star quality food! The apple tartin was unique and not typical as it had the firm puree apples below and the crisp on the top! First mouthful was a hint of anise which was a lovely surprised! Of course you cannot go wrong with the chocolate soufflé - however I would add real dark chocolate flakes on the top to reach a great notch up’ Taste is everything especially the first mouthful! Service - They forgot my teaspoon to stir my coffee. I think busy or not this is after all a Michelin star standard and such details is expected . Hummm…. Please improve! Anyway the chef is amazing! I would go back again as the quality of food still stands as top notch!

It's a fine Michelin star guide American restaurant with fixed 3-5 course menu. Make a reservation, hard to get in by drop in. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very nice clean fine dining. Foods are fresh, delicious and well presented. Inside is a bit formal and quiet. Service may lag a bit but still attending and responsive. Free parking lot is usually full but still OK. Not easily accessible due to steps and high seating. Not good for kids for obvious reason! Good for couples, date nights, small group or gathering and business meetings.

For a Michelin star restaurant, it really did not impress us. We made a reservation weeks in advance for lunch on a Saturday. It was not real busy upon arrival and we were seated immediately. Parking lot and main door is behind the restaurant, not along the main road. We opted for the 5 course lunch tasting menu for $85 where you choose an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The meal started off with a glass of complimentary champagne, it wasn't very good though. We had the warm cinnamon rolls (lemony, warm, fresh), Hokkaido scallops (good, small portion), Saint Simon oysters (tiny oysters), roasted black cod (quality, fresh, simple, basic), petit filet (+$10, steak was cooked perfectly, came with hash brown-like side and 2 eggs cooked to your preference), Chai crepe cake (good, pumpkin ice cream was fantastic), chocolate souffle (+$5, good, almost like a molten lava, big portion). They also gave us complimentary small tea cup size of cauliflower soup (very good), and a lemon cake for our anniversary (ok). Overall, the food was pretty forgetful. We both agreed the cauliflower soup was the best item followed by the desserts Service was pretty good, but not as good as other Michelin restaurants though. Staff were kind and polite. They acknowledged our celebratory meal and were attentive, however, my request for no added salt was not accommodated for any dish despite being repeated and acknowledged Ambiance was ok. As soon as we walked in we both thought it smelled like a musty locker room or bathroom. Not very pleasant, but we knew we would get used to it. There is a full bar area that serves a full a la carte menu (same as table seating menu) that can accommodate walk ins Overall, pretty disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant. I would not recommend it

The food is average - you would expect this for a Michelin star. Nothing is surprisingly good or degrading. We liked the duck breast and the steak. But the appetizer and the dessert have some room to be improved, especially the dessert. Cinnamon is overpowering the pumpkin in the ice cream, the donut with chocolate is just too plain. The service is not bad, polite but distant. When one of us left for the washroom, someone came to fold the napkin but dropped it from where he stands, making a polping sound, without making any eye contact with us. Possibly laying it on the table with a table with a smile would show a better gesture. The dining room is a bit more noisy than we normally like as well. Overall a mediocre choice for a Michelin star.

We were recommended this place for our wedding anniversary dinner and made a reservation a month ago. I was to arrive around 6 pm. It's an hour earlier because there was no traffic jam on the day. I went into the restaurant because there was no place to spend time around me. I booked a terrace seat according to the recommendation, but my husband was allergic, so we asked for an indoor table and they guided me to the bar table. First of all, the bar table was very cluttered. Whenever the entrance door opened, we lost our concentration. There were a lot of customers, but the completeness of the food was not satisfactory compared to expectations. The cooking of the scallops and crabs was uneven, and especially the dessert at the end was really disappointing. I didn't expected the chocolate souffle and custard cream I tasted in London, but it tasted artifical ans actually diminished my enjoyment of dinner. I didn't understand why people praised it. I think it doesn't reach the value of paying at least 500 dollars. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

It used to be the place I’d always visit on special occasions, no matter how far away. But this time, the experience was disappointing — flies kept buzzing around throughout our meal, which made it really uncomfortable. I’ve always made a point to visit this restaurant on special occasions, no matter how far away I was. Unfortunately, this time was quite disappointing. Throughout our meal, there were flies constantly buzzing around the tables, which made the experience very uncomfortable. It wasn’t just our table — I noticed several others dealing with the same issue. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better hygiene and management. The food and service were good, but it’s hard to enjoy a meal while waving away flies the entire time. When I politely mentioned it to the waitress, her dismissive response made the situation even worse. Even a casual diner or fast-food place wouldn’t have this problem. I truly hope the management addresses this — it’s not what one would expect from a fine dining establishment.

I went to The Village Pub yesterday, Wednesday, and overall it started out as a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, and the service at the beginning of the evening was attentive and welcoming. The savory courses were excellent — beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I was genuinely impressed and excited to see how the meal would end. Unfortunately, things took a disappointing turn when it was time for dessert. I ordered the chocolate soufflé, and it took a very long time to arrive at the table. I understand that soufflés require preparation time, but the wait felt excessive, especially without much communication. To make matters worse, when it finally arrived, the center was completely undercooked — essentially raw. It was impossible to enjoy and not what I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Up until dessert, the evening had been fantastic, which made the ending even more disappointing.

Service was horrible we went twice first lunch and another time dinner thinking maybe dinner is better it was worse. The food was just ok very salty didnt feel like the best quality definitely not Michelin level or cooked with chef level skill. Our server was rude walked away from us mid order we didnt get stuff we asked for the pace was horrible lunch we waited almost 30 min at our table before anyone even approached us some courses came out too quick some took 20 min. Steak which was a supplement was not a great cut and overcooked. We will for sure not go back but i wanted to warn others to save the $ go to plummed horse or even madera
