A spot my wife and I have been talking about going to for several years. We're glad we did as not only was the food good our server was fantastic.... read more Last night they were short handed but you couldn't tell on the food delivery and preparation.
I had clam chowder and a lobster roll. My wife had the fried haddock. She commented on how flaky the fish was, tasty batter (very clean oil) and our fries were nice and crispy.
We're definitely headed back given how challenging the food industry is now a days with finding staff. The experience we had really stood out.HappyVacationMan
September 12, 2022I have been going to the Village Restaurant since the mid 1960's and it was my father's favorite restaurant before then. I make a trip every year or two just... read more to go to the restaurant (I live in New York State). I love the whole clams and the Baked Indian Pudding is the perfect dessert after a nice seafood meal. They seafood is fresh and the menu has a lot of choices. This isn't so much a restaurant as a family tradition. The service is always very good. Depending on the time of year and the day, it can be very busy so plan ahead!

Thank you to the Village! Our meal was great!

December 31, 2020Excellent clam chowder! It’s not thick, heavy (which hubby & i don’t like) but a very tasty stock with plenty of clams and a good balance of potatoes.

February 12, 2020Tis half a decade since our last visit. On a quiet Sunday evening we were graciously seated. There are new owners but the Village feels the same.
Server Rita, a... read more prodigiously talented individual, appeared promptly. Orders were taken and then comes the freshest bread and beverages. Two fine soups (French Onion and Clam Chowder) were next, top notch. The mains were Eastern Point Combination seafood, Broiled Scallops,and Haddock Piccata. All were flawlessly prepared, the kitchen still knows how to prepare exceptional meals.
The Village remains a leader. Wonderful!Zeno H

July 16, 2019We were a group who came to Essex in order to board a boat for touring the Essex River. The parking lot was large enough to accommodate our tour bus.... read more Most of the group ordered the sea food but I was in the mood for their Angus burger. It was so large that I had to pack up half of it to take home. The tomatoes and other vegetable on the burger were very fresh. I do not usually eat rolls with a burger but I could not resist the hot rolls they brought to the table. There was an unusual pattern of service. It was the first time that I ever experience a restaurant where the servers will bring you any item you want regardless of whether they were your assigned server or not. I never heard anyone say "I will get your server." I loved the fact that our waitress, Erin, kept an eye on our coffee cups and would bring the pot for quick refills. I watched Ciara Mallon, the Manager, as she coordinated the flow of customers and assignment of servers. It is a great restaurant for large groups.
