| - Make a reservation for lunch with my coworkers. Our server, John, immediately came to take our drink orders and see if we had questions. To my delight, I saw that they had an additional gluten-free menu (you must ask for it). I'm used to have to just pick and choose through restaurants menus for what I believe would be gluten-free so it's nice that they had this option. Their kitchen is not gluten-free from my understanding, however I am not Celiac so it did not alter my decision.
I ordered the Gluten-Free Margarita pizza and mango tea. Both delicious! Gluten-free breads tend to have a bit of an issue with texture, but this one was pretty spot on. Thin crust and about 9" around, it was definitely large enough to share if you ordered an appetizer as well. My coworkers ordered dishes ranging from Spinach Salad, Grilled Salmon, Prime Rib, and Grouper. All had nothing but amazing things to say about their orders.
Desert time and we went all out - again. Raspberry Sorbet, Double Decker Cheesecake, Warm Apple Pie, and Butter Cake. HOLY MOLY. I could only eat the sorbet and some bites of the cheesecake, but the reviews from the crowd were all outstanding on every item.
But, all in all, the best part about the entire experience was John. He was very attentive to us throughout the entire meal - even balancing another very large group, plus his other tables. He was great with recommendations and answering any questions we had. Others in my group have been going to Village Tavern for years and said that he is the best server they've had there. He genuinely brought this rating to a 5 star. As a group, we all decided that the next time we go back, we will request to be sat in his section. Thanks, John!
