The Village Idiot

I love this place. We go here at least once every two weeks or so and try our best to get one of the large booths by the front windows. Great place to have one of the best Bloody Mary's in town on a warm Saturday afternoon. I love the menu - it's not huge, but what they do offer is usually fantastic. I dream of their mussels with bread sops, the brussel sprouts with bacon would make a few vegetarians go back to the dark side and the savory pies take me back to London. They also feature a great beer menu plus all sorts of interesting cocktails. My favorite drink is the Ginger Top - a glorious amber beer topped with ginger beer.

I had my 40th birthday party here a few weeks ago in the back room and the chef, managers and staff went above and beyond in terms of helping me plan and prep. It was the best bang for our buck and our guests had a fabulous time.

In a nutshell: great food, great staff and never a negative experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in town. Great place to sit and have a few cocktails on a nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon. We always try and grab one of the window booths if we can. The food is really good and some of our favorites are the mussels with bread mops, any of the savory pies and the fish and chips. Innovative cocktail list and service is always great. I held my 40th birthday party in their back room and the management and staff were really helpful and accomodating.

Village Idiot has a great atmosphere and selection of food and drinks. I'd definitely go back there again. The crowd skewed towards late 20s/early 30s so it isn't a playground nor cougarville. Just the right mix. It also looks like they have a cool private room in the back.
