How have I never heard of this place before? Great family dining experience and I'll explain why…read more But what separates this place from so many others is the different types of dining experiences you can have. If you want an upscale sports bar vibe, check. A unique seasonally decorated dining room, check. Outdoor seating, check. The menu is great. Something for everyone. While I did not order them the only thing that jumps out as something not priced well is their tacos. $18 for 2 tacos seems a bit high considering Mexican food is typically a lower cost meal. Appetizers small shared plates, salads, burgers/sandwiches, tacos, and entrees. Great spread. The kids menus are incredible. Very artsy and engaging for the kids. Only issue, no pricing for the kids meal. Ordered some appetizers (pretzels, mozzarella sticks, and calamari) I would say the only negative was the calamari. Extremely over dressed with sauce. By the time the food got to us it was extremely soggy. The breading would have been incredibly crispy if not for the sauce. My wife ordered the fig and procutto salad and was blown away. Loved it. I stuck with smaller bits since I was stuffed with appetizers. Ordered the crispy rice spicy tuna, 4 large pieces although could use some more spice/flavor or a dipping sauce. And Ordered the buffalo wings. Wings were HUGE, crispy, and juicy. However a little light on the sauce. Overall this was a great first trip. We definitely will be back. For the food, and the bourbon menu! One "gripe" is that they offer Happy Hour until 6pm even on Fridays. With Happy Hour the kids meals are supposed to be $10 and have food, drink, and ice cream included. However when we got our bill we were charged for the meal ($12 fair price for the amount of food) and the drink separately. Not a huge deal but wish they would stick to the advertised prices.

To be clear, the high tops are the booths you also see in pictures (we were confused ahead of walking in). It's definitely elevated bar food with a bit of pizzaz!! We ordered WAY too much food but wanted to try a lot of things. We went for a bunch of apps and then shared the bolognese which I also really enjoyed. The cocktails are top tier. An ex Hoboken girlie, I have a very specific standards to cocktails and this places knocks it out the park. The waitress was wildly helpful (suggestions and attentive) and she was funny, brownie points! New staple for us, go check it out

Unfortunately, this spot missed the mark for me. I wouldn't go back for the food…read more We ordered the boneless wings ($17), and while the portion was generous and the lemon pepper flavor was good, the sauces were confusing. We asked for ranch, but what came out looked and tasted like a cheesy dip (as pictured- you can literally see chunks of cheese in it). We even compared it side by side with their Caesar dressing which was same texture, just a different color. Isn't ranch supposed to be creamy? The French dip sandwich was another letdown. The roast beef was super dry, barely any pink, and the au jus sauce looked like the last bit scraped from the bottom of the pot. Very light in color when it should be a rich dark brown. One look and I knew it wouldn't taste right. Then came the burger, which was so undercooked that the blood soaked through the bottom bun (as pictured). The waitress never even asked how we wanted it cooked. Overall, I'd come back here for a drink but I'd skip the food next time.

My friend and I wound up at W's Village Grille the other night, after our initial beverage venue of…read morechoice had not even one available bar stool. W's was a large restaurant and sports bar with ample parking. The place was packed because of the March Madness basketball games, so the front bar was bustling, but, thankfully, we were able to get a large, cozy booth in that section. We just ordered Aperol Spritzes, which were tasty and perfectly balanced. The service was also very friendly. While the food menu was mainly greasy bar food, they had a few items (grilled chicken, salads, soups, etc.) that I would have ordered if I had been hungry. Overall, the W's Village Grille seemed like a great place to catch a game or even for a family dinner in the back dining room, but it was not really the trendy girls' night spot for which we had originally planned.

To David H.: I was…read morethere that night too, and honestly this review sounds more like someone who didn't understand what was going on than an accurate description of the place. It was St. Patrick's Day and the start of March Madness, the bar was completely packed, exactly like anyone with basic common sense would expect. The staff was clearly working hard to keep up with the crowd, and my Guinness was poured perfectly fine. If someone thought they were going to get slow, ceremonial pours and unlimited bar time on one of the busiest nights of the year, that's just unrealistic. As for getting cut off, bars don't do that for no reason, especially on a night when they want to keep serving. When a place is at capacity, the staff has to make judgment calls to keep things under control and stay within the law. Acting like bartenders should let people stay forever just because it's St. Patrick's Day sounds like someone who hasn't actually worked a high-volume bar in a long time, if ever. Calling the place overpriced with bad food doesn't make much sense either, considering it was packed all night and people were clearly enjoying themselves. It's easy to blame the bar when you don't get the experience you wanted, but from what I saw, the staff handled a crazy night the best they could, and the complaints here sound way more like user error than anything wrong with the place.

We ordered the **Fish and Chips**, **Braised Beef Short Ribs**, and **Crème Brûlée**. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming overall and lacked the flavor we were expecting. Nothing really stood out as particularly tasty. We were also surprised by the pricing. The prices we were charged appeared to be roughly **20% higher than the prices listed on the restaurant's official online menu at the time. If menu prices have changed, we would expect the online menu to be updated accordingly Overall, the meal did not live up to expectations, particularly given the prices. Hopefully the restaurant will improve the food and keep its online menu pricing consistent with what customers are actually charged.
