Very nice meal, but not quite exceptional. Food was generally very good; ambiance is lovely. Service is a little spotty. Cocktails took too long; appetizers were served too soon (at the same time as the cocktails!); we had to pour our own wine because our glasses were empty; one entree was perfectly timed but the other was lukewarm when it arrived. I would definitely go back, and it is a lovely spot for a special occasion -- but it wasn't over the top perfect (but I have very high standards!).

The village pub had a New Year day brunch with a prix fixe menu of 3 courses. For each part of the menu there were many choices. The dishes were excellent. The burrata salad was amazing with the most delicious and delicate burrata. This was a great lunch to begin the new year for a good price!

We had been hoping to go back to Flea Strret for a year and we were not disappointed when we finally got a reservation and dined last night. Jesse greeted us at the door, the service was very good and every choice from the beef tartare to the wild King salmon was delicious. It was a lovely evening and we won’t let another year pass before we return.
