| - Village Tavern brings back so many memories to me. As a Charlotte native, my high school friends and I would dine here before cotillion dances and always felt like super cool adults. The restaurant has not changed much (it still offers outdoor seating which is stellar in warmer months, or under the tent with heaters in cold months).
To be honest, VT is the type of restaurant I want to give three stars tops, but I just can't. I am a big ambiance person, and it is just very chainy looking on the inside. All that aside, the food, in my opinion, has gotten better over the last couple of years. I have found myself requesting to go here over some of the newer trendier restaurants.
The new bacon wrapped scallop appetizer was outstanding, as well as the crab dip (hard to mess up in my book).
I have to agree with Giannabrie, the zucchini squash with marinara dish is freaking fantastic. So much flavor. You don't miss the noodles at all. It's a full feeling that you can feel good about! VT also always has good drink specials. I am a fan of the half-priced wines by the glass on Wednesdays.
The food is consistent, good prices, and nice portions for your money.
