Our party was seated in one of the private rooms, which was a really nice touch. I ordered the organic salad, grilled cheese and red velvet cheese cake. The salad greens, feta cheese and beets were fresh and quite tasty. The grilled cheese had thick cut bacon and avocado - this was a normal grilled cheese, it was truly a gourmet sandwich. Served with thick cut fries, this was a very nice lunch! For dessert, I had the cheese cake. It was set in a red velvet crust, also very delicious! Our server was on her game and did a great job working our table. Overall I was highly impressed. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#4440 http://www.wincfood.com/ Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:02:56 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 1 - Terrible service. Went in recently on a nice day and no one greeted us so we sat down at a table outside. We asked a server if sitting down outside was OK and he said "fine" and walked away. Waited forever for menus and only got one when my girlfriend grabbed a busboy. Waited forever again for a drink order. My chili (which tasted good) came out first and I asked the server for crackers, he said "I'll see what I can do" and I never saw him again (he couldn't have come back and said sorry we don't have any?). They brought out my girlfriends meal with onion rings (which she hates) when the menu said french fries, they were out of french fries but instead of saying anything about it they just tried to slip it by. Overall the presentation and taste of the food were good, but the servers were all VERY weird guys. It was honestly creepy how they were acting. I think a female server or two might drastically turn this place around. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#3722 http://www.wincfood.com/ Wed, 26 Jan 2011 11:02:43 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 3 - After reading all the reviews, I couldn't wait to try VSR. We stopped by for lunch yesterday and were underwhelmed. After being seated and what seemed to be a very long wait (considering it wasn't that crowded) the server presented himself and asked if we were ready to order with pen/paper in hand? No one had stopped by to see if we wanted drinks yet? The food was good but nothing amazing. Another long wait for the check. Honestly, there was nothing about our visit would make us want to return for dinner. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#2557 http://www.wincfood.com/ Fri, 25 Jun 2010 07:19:11 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 4 - The food here is always excellent! Certainly one of the best in Winchester. The service from the snotty waitress the last time we were there brings my review down to 4 stars, but otherwise, this place has always been great. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#2165 http://www.wincfood.com/ Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 5 - Whole Crunchy Snapper and Gift Certificates = winning combo! We had a gift certificate (discount) to use for Village Square that was garnered from wincfood.com’s discount section. First of all, when you spend $8 to save $25 the food is bound to taste that much better. Okay, well maybe not, but the food was delicious. and#8232; We started off with the lamb stew, the flavors in this soup were so good. I ordered a cup and it was not enough, I wish I would have gotten a bowl. Next was a Caesar Salad, prepared just the way I like it. The dressing was the perfect blend of seasonings and not too much anchovy. It also had a few capers with shredded parmesan cheese. Now for the main course, the Whole Crunchy Snapper was snapilicious good! The fish was lightly breaded with what appeared like just flour and seasoning and was deep fried and then drizzled with a sweet chili sauce. The heat of the sauce did not overpower the fish but did offer a nice depth to the dish. The meat came right off the bones and was so tender and buttery good. It was paired with fresh green beans and wild rice. The green beans had a little crunch to them and had a good flavor. The rice had a subtle flavor of coconut that made me want to eat every last grain. I HIGHLY recommend using the discount section on wincfood AND ordering the snapper! http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1847 http://www.wincfood.com/ Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 4 - Great service, great atmosphere, odd food problems, and more! Went to VS this weekend. I'll start off with bad and bizarre. Bread is only given on request, so we requested it. Unlike 95% of the restaurants in the world, this bread is good, I mean real good, and the butter was at room temperature. That being said for a party of two, they brought us a basket of three pieces of bread, odd. In any case, I think we had 3 baskets of bread, like I said, it was good. When we got our bill, we were charged 2.00 for bread. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant charge for bread, especially one with $25+ entree's. The funny thing is, if the bread was for sale, 2 bucks would have been a bargain, it just seemed petty and low class. Unlike the butter, which was very nice at room temp, the oysters at room temp were not. Our frissee salad, was said to have walnut crusted goat cheese, it didn't, just dabs of goat cheese. Our dessert, was supposed to have a sea salt tuille, it didn't. Now, for as poorly the executed as some of the dishes were, the foie gras and fillet were astoundingly good. The bacon used to wrap the fillet was wonderful compliment to the meat. The relish accompanying the foie was great, and the foie, cooked perfectly, was wonderful on our 2.00 basket of bread. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1746 http://www.wincfood.com/ Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 5 - Chef Dan is a real talent and it is clear that his staff loves their creations as much as the Chef. They are committed to local products and Animal Welfare Approved meats which puts them on the "top shelf" to begin with. But being local does not make it good. Chef Daniel Kalber obviously spends lots of time finding the very best of Virginia's produce and meat for their menu. The lamb is wonderful, mild and tender. The lamb sandwich (french dip) is great but it is at dinner that talents of the Chef are illuminated. Staff is courteous and deligent and the setting is second to none. Just a pleasant experience all around with a talented kitchen staff. The place in Winchester for a special meal and evening out on the town. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1639 http://www.wincfood.com/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 5 - Villiage Square has a quiet, romantic, quaint atmosphere. The food is exceptional from the beginning to the end. This is the best dinner I have ever had in Winchester. The only suggestion I have is to get nice soap dispensers for the soap. Having such a nice restaurant with the Dollar General soap, it just doesn't make sense. Overall, Village Square has great service, great food, and great atmosphere. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1628 http://www.wincfood.com/ Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 5 - I love this Place! My fav. in Winchester. The live jazz combo on friday nite was amazing. We had the crabcakes and filet mignon and loved every bite. The white wine we had was scrumptious. Just a tip read the bottom of the menu bread is on request. no biggie. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1582 http://www.wincfood.com/ Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:00:00 EST Village Square Restaurant - Vote 4 - The food here is phenomenal. Probably the best in Winchester. The portions are very decent for the quality, and the prices are not astronomic. My main concern though is the atmosphere. The styling of the restaurant is very cold, and I'd even go as far to say, overly mainly. Its not beautiful, or elegant, but very bold, and sterile. The waiter we had was VERY attentive and very professional, but he reflected the restaurants styling. Cold, and down to business. The food speaks for itself of course, and I do enjoy some fancy eating, but its the equivalent of a 3 star restaurant, trying to be 5 star, when its not going to be able. The food does, just not the rest of the experience.. Overal, still one of the best meals you'll have in Winchester, and I still say it is a must to try. http://www.wincfood.com/wincfood/pages/review.php?id=384#1545 http://www.wincfood.com/
