Called tonight to make a reservation for 10 people outside to celebrate a very special event. When we arrived, I was told by the hostess to put together my own table if I wanted to sit in the patio. I was surprised so I asked her again if she wanted me to pull the tables together and she said yes unless she finds a busboy to do it. We were sat at a table for 8 outside and given 4 menus. The waitress then came over and told me that they really didn't want to add more tables unless I knew for sure other guests were coming as very often customers say that there will be more guests but they never show up. I looked at her and thought to myself, is she for real! I confirmed with her that in fact 4 more people were joining. She never added the table, and 15 minutes had passed. My friend and I moved over a round table to add more seating. I asked the waitress for a tablecloth for the table and she gave me a very unhappy look. I also requested more menus. We soon placed our orders. My husband's pork chops came 30 minutes after everyone had finished their food and half the table of guests had left (we were still charged for it). Waitress excuse was that when the cooks brought out the pork chops they were way too over cooked that she asked them to remake them. My thought is that she forgot to put the order in. At the end of our dinner, before presenting the check, the waitress became exceptionally sweet as if she was a different person. She and the hostess had such a unwelcoming attitude towards us from the beginning, which was really too bad as we were all there to celebrate an occasion. By putting up an act for the last few minutes before giving us a check was not going to make me want to give her a 20% tip. I live very close to Village Tavern but will not return again. I'm not sure if these people working today here were racist, but we sure felt like that. Just to add, my Dad asked for bread during dinner and the waitress told him that since it's closing time that she only had a few pieces left. I looked at my watch and it was 9:20, the restaurant closes at 10. It was a very disturbing experience, will never return!!! The whole group felt insulted by the end of the night!
