I arrived in Sewickley not really sure where to eat with my son. We ended up parking on a side street and before I could whip out my phone to check Yelp for a suggestion I got a whiff of something delicious! We parked right next the The Village Melt and decided we had to stop in.
The decor was nice - fitting the standard of restaurants today, marquee lights as a statement, hard wood, chalkboard sign with hand written menu. Popular style, but lacking a little character.
You order at the counter and it took me a little while to decide from the extensive menu. I decided on the Walnut melt which was delicious! It had Gruyere, ham and a walnut spread. It was gooey and savory and hit the spot on a nice Fall day. It came with a generous portion of fries that I devoured. I certainly was a part of the clean plate club with this meal. My son had a grilled cheese which he ended up not touching but he loved the fries. His meal wasn't on a kids menu but was simple enough that any kid would like it. I was glad they had milk for him to drink but no kids cups with a kid. He did fine luckily!
The man at the counter was very friendly and personable. The service was quick and they brought the sandwiches to our table.
I would definitely recommend the place but wish they would make it more kid friendly since it's such a laid back restaurant.
