What: Village Tavern
Where: Flat Irons-Westminister, Colorado
Overall: Village Tavern is located in the upbeat Flat Irons area in Westminister. It is you typical Tavern-nothing special. The Village Tavern does, however, have a spacious bar, and it is in a great location at the mall, if your boyfriend/husband does not want to go shopping with you he can kick back with a beer at the tavern. Kid friendly. They are open Monday-Thursday from 11am-11pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-Midnight, and Sunday from 11am-10pm (serving Sunday brunch from 11am-2pm).
The Menu: Village Tavern has various menus ranging from a Sunday Brunch menu to a Full-Service Dinner menu. They also have a great late-night menu with various specials such as $5 (6 slice) pizzas, and 1/2 price cocktails. On their full-service menu they offer everything from Prince Edward Island mussels (P.E.I.) to a 10 oz. filet. And on their critically acclaimed brunch menu they have several eggs Benedict's to pick from, or you can try their new Southern Shrimp and Grits! They have a special Valentine's menu.
The Service: There were a number of locals hanging out at the bar, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress was very knowledgable about the menu, and her recommendations were direct and concise, which was a nice change.
The Food: We started out ordering the regular bruschetta-it came with marinated tomatoes with capers, black pepper, and shaved Reggiano Parmesan cheese. It was pretty delicious. The shaved parm was really good on top of the yummy marinated tomatoes. I (Riar) ordered the potato-filled gnocchi with italian sausage which was a creative dish that I had never seen before. Unfortunately, this is where the originality ended. The gnocchi was delicious, but the Italian sausage and the sauce covering the dish were disappointing. The sausage was over cooked and very chewy. I left unimpressed, but happy to have a meal in my stomach. It was far from a foodgasm, but I was able to choke it down without any problems. and a fat tire that was $3. The sausage was a little bit chewy And I (Erin) ordered the late night pepperoni pizza. I was shocked that it was 6 slices of regular sized pizza for $5 and a Chardonnay for $4. The crust was great and the pizza sauce was fresh and homemade-tasty. GREAT VALUE.
Overall Rating: 6/10
