My family has been going to the Village Inn for years and we were really disappointed when we heard they'd closed late last year. So you can imagine how pleased we were to hear they re-opened. Unfortunately, if you read the newspaper reports they said that they would be operating with less space (including parking) and we heard that there would be a greater emphasis on take-out orders.
Well, my wife and I have been back twice in the last two months. Neither the menu nor the quality of the food has changed. And while they opened with less dining space, they was simply waiting to see how much of their clientele would return. On our first visit in mid-March they already had all of the original dining space in use. If there's a "down-side," they no longer serve alcohol (though I hear that may change). But you can BYOB and there's no corkage or other charge (and we had a dining spot in our neighborhood that charged more than $20 for that service).
In terms of the menu, the quality of the food and the service, nothing has changed. I've often wondered how they offer such a diverse menu for a small family establishment but I've never been disappointed. In the true spirit of family dining the prices haven't changed either. And the staff is as welcoming and attentive as ever.
On our visit today we learned that they are taking reservations again - which is GREAT news. So if you haven't returned since they closed, you're really cheating yourself.
