   The restroom situation needs to be addressed. Suggest converting restrooms into gender neutral, and that will solve the wait for all.

   This is a favorite restaurant from bar seating for two to a special family dinner with children. The restaurant goes out of their way to accommodate and make the event special. Wait staff is excellent, attentive without being intrusive. And the food is thoughtfully prepared and presented. Great cocktails and wine list. Great value, ambiance and experience.

   Loved almost everything but the music was way too loud! Our server spoke very fast to us making it hard to hear over the music. Wine was great and food!

While the enjoy the energy that music brings to the experience, we must be mindful that it does not interfere with our guest's experience. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon!

   Lovely in every way! The staff could not be kinder, from the warm welcome at the door to nice gentleman who got me a pashmina since the heat lamp was too close to the awning to use. Food and drink was prompt, hot, and absolutely delicious! The Shakshukka is the best I think I’ve ever had. We shared it along with cocktails and coffees, which were all excellent. We never felt rushed though we lingered awhile afterward enjoying the back patio on an autumn afternoon. It never misses at the Village Bakery & Cafe.

I am very happy to hear you enjoyed our time relaxing on the back patio. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! Best, Joe McCabe General Manager
