Hands-down, the best restaurant on the peninsula. Great food, service, wine, house-made charcuterie plate, decor.

This is a very good restaurant. We love the food and the ambiance. We've eaten there several times and never been disappointed. They renovated a few years ago and now it is very sophisticated.

The Village Pub used to be a unique, romatic destination for the Peninsula. Sadly, not any more. Poor service, ordinary food, high prices. Like a C- San Francisco resturant

What a great place! I found our server to be educated, which is different than being snobby. I enjoyed learning about the food and wine as much as I did eating it!

nice ambience, but ruined by food and attitude. Service was marginal and either snotty or incompetent in terms of knowledge of the food and wine, or both. I asked for advice on a buttery chardonnay (OK, not...
