    We were seated in the first booth when you walk in the door so we didn't feel like we were part of the restaurant. We could barely hear the music and with people coming and going, it was an annoying. Our server was very friendly and quickly took our drink order. The menu is large, so something for everyone. I started with a beer, as did my husband. His beer was served in a glass beer mug, whereas mine came in a smaller plastic one. Same price, but not the same glass. They served chips with salsa to start. The salsa was definitely hot, but the chips were stale. I settled on a cup of chicken tortilla soup and a chicken and a beef enchilada with rice. The soup came out piping hot, which I love. It was some of the best chicken enchilada soup I have had in a while. I had barely started my soup and my entree arrived. That makes me so mad as then I have to rush with my soup so my entree doesn't get cold. I didn't need to rush as my meal was barely lukewarm to begin with, which is frustrating. The enchiladas felt as if they had been sitting for quite awhile, so they were not my favorite. The rice was good. It's unfortunate as the enchiladas were filled with protein. When we asked for sour cream, they ended up charging us $1.79 for a scoop. Unbelievable!

    Just stopped in for a quick bite. Wasn't really very hungry but hadn't even eaten breakfast. Decided to have a snack. Ordered a plate of refried beans with cheese and a side of avocado. Although it's not hard to mess those up, it was fresh, delicious, and the service was excellent. I didn't do any research on this place ahead of time, but it seems that it's family operated? I love the cozy setting with all of the colors, artsy decorative accents and low level cheery Mexican pop music. The other patrons seemed genuinely pleased too.

    We moved to Palm Bay a few months ago but we have already driven to Sebastian half a dozen times just to eat Mexican food at Ay Jalisco. We love everything about this little restaurant, the atmosphere, colorful decor, great service and absolutely delicious food! And the prices are very reasonable. We've tried several other Mexican restaurants in the PB area but this is hands down the best.

    Super friendly wait staff! Great attitude inside, very comfortable and open. It's very clean. The fresh flavor in all their ingredients are a delightful touch. I recommend their burritos if you're looking for something filling. Everything I've ever had on their menu was superior to other Mexican restaurants here in Florida. Very affordable as well as being a good meal...

We were able to see the Pelican dive for a fish which was cool. The waitress was sweet and super friendly. She was very helpful and considerate, always checking on us and making sure everything was okay. Now why I am give the restaurant a 2 star review: My husband's Fish and Chips were just okay nothing to rave about. My father's sandwich was not the best as he found it to have pieces of shell in it which was not edible. He said that coleslaw was the worse like it came out of a store bought package. My Drunken Sweet Potato was not fully cooked. My Lobster & Shrimp Mac & Cheese also had pieces of shell in it. I love Mac & Cheese but that was awful! I swear that it came out of a box which is the worse way to make it. Plus the lobster and shrimp must have been puréed in a food processor to form a paste to mix in the Mac & Cheese. I was expecting small chunks of Lobster and Shrimp and a heck of lot more cheese. My MIL's shrimp basket was fine. I have a culinary degree and I expect the best. If I had made that Lobster, Shrimp Mac & Cheese for my chef in college, he would've thrown it in the trash, given me an F and told me to try again! My dad was done and wanted to leave so we paid the bill and left. I didn't notice until further review of the bill that there was a Service Charge of 3.80% added to the bill. There is an explanation for this service charge on the very bottom of the menu in small print. I have worked in restaurants after culinary school and the front of the house (wait staff and bartenders) never had to share their tips with the back of the house (cooks and dishwashers). Everyone except wait staff and bartenders usually gets paid minimum wage. Wait staff and bartenders rely on tips because their hourly wages are lower than minimum wage! From now on I will ask every restaurant if they are going to charge me extra to help pay the cooks and dishwashers, if so I'll walk out. If a restaurant can't paid their cooks and dishwashers minimum wage and have to charge customers an extra 3.80% something is very wrong!

    We wandered into the Village Tavern of Sebastian on a Saturday afternoon after running errands, and…read moreit instantly felt like one of those hidden gems you kick yourself for not finding sooner. We live just down the road in Vero Beach, so discovering a neighborhood tavern with this much charm practically in our backyard was a real win. We had already eaten lunch at Nini's Cuban across the parking lot, so we stopped in just for a beer. Within minutes we were pulled straight into the atmosphere. Nancy, the bartender and proprietor, is the kind of host every small tavern dreams of. Warm, funny, and completely at ease, she makes newcomers feel like long‑time regulars while keeping the whole place running smoothly. The beer selection is far better than you would expect from a cozy local spot. There is a rotating craft lineup that rivals bigger bars, along with the classics and a surprisingly solid wine list. We spent half our visit sipping and the other half laughing at the hilarious signs covering the walls and at the antics of a couple of regulars who clearly keep the place lively. We have not tried the food yet, but the vibe alone guarantees we will be back and we will be coming hungry. This is the kind of place where you settle in, meet the locals, and let the afternoon drift. For the record, our beer of choice that day was "Cougar Bait." It is as much fun to drink as it is to say!

    If you're looking for a place that makes you feel like you actually belong in the neighborhood,…read moreVillage Tavern Restaurant is that rare gem that delivers comfort, quality, and character with every plate and pint. From the moment I slid onto a barstool, I knew I was in for something special -- and not just because the beer list reads like a love letter to hop heads and casual sippers alike. Each pint poured is thoughtful, crisp, and refreshing, with local craft brews rubbing shoulders beside tried‑and‑true favorites. I lost count somewhere around the third flight, but honestly? Worth it. And then there's Nancy, the bartender -- sweet lord, if every tavern had her warmth and precision, we'd all be happier people. She recommended beers without braggy pretension, anticipated refills like a mind reader, and managed a perfect balance of friendly conversation and professional grace. Her service alone is worth the trip. Great food, killer beers, and a bartender who makes you feel like a VIP? Village Tavern doesn't just raise the bar -- it is the bar.
