VILLAGE RESTAURANT IS CLOSING!!

After 5 very difficult years between my father’s car crash, lockdown, and the staff shortage since 2020 we have decided to sell Village Restaurant and begin a new chapter of our lives with our family. We worked tirelessly, morning-noon-and night, to keep the Village running and it’s time for us to rest. The official closing date is September 27 at 4pm. Please call for reservations and know as we are winding down some menu items may not be available. We hope to see all of our supporters before our final goodbye. Thank you for everything!
