Restaurant was recommended to us by the lodging we stayed at in Kenebunk. Waited about 20 minutes before we were seated. Staff were super friendly and attentive to customers. Our server was efficient and his recommendations for dinner were on point.
The main meals included lamb shank and wild rice. Meat was super tender and well seasoned. We also ordered linguini pasta with meatballs which was delicious. The cream filled eclair served with ice cream was decadent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal in this warm and cozy restaurant

The patio is better than inside the restaurant which is rather dark. The food is awesome! Had the short ribs, which melted in my mouth, the fried brussel sprouts were great. My drink was an Autumn Sipper. Apple cinnamon and smoke infused whiskey. Very good! The Baked Alaska for dessert (see picture) was perfect. Our server was excellent. They do not take reservations so I suggest arriving before five to avoid long wait. It stretched to 90 minutes the night we were there. This place is very popular with good reason.

My family went in for brunch and it was good food! The service was great and the atmosphere inside was really lovely. Definitely a nice restaurant. We got the crab cakes for appetizers and they were really delicious. I did bite down on a bone inside. For my entree, I got the Atlantic salmon with garlic and ginger mashed potatoes. It was delicious! The rest of my family got the cheddar burger, linguini with seafood and poblano cream sauce, and the spaghetti with meatballs.

My mom got the Mark’s mule and it was delicious!

I think the presentation could be heightened a little in comparison to how nice the restaurant is. There also were no vegetarian options outside of the appetizer-sized salads.

Overall, we had a good time!

Always a wonderful experience! Arrived early and sat on the patio, very comfortable. Salads, cocktails, entrees and profiteroles and especially the company were perfect.

Went there on New years Eve. Food is good, but I personally think the portion has rooms for improvement, especially with the high price. For example, my main dish is around $50: supposed to be suf n turf: it has a tiny filet mignon with 2 small shrimps and 2 scallops. The dining room is super dimmed, we (as well as many others) had to use phone flash light to read menu. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience though.

Loved our visit to the Village tavern. Our waitress Dawn was so nice and very attentive! we were a party of 9 and she took great care of us. The food was amazing had the mussels, calamari, buffalo cauliflower, salmon, lamb shank, braised short ribs, and seafood pasta and it was all delicious! Large portions very reasonable priced! We asked to split dessert and she brought it out already split and on two plats it was great! Can't wait to return! Would 100% recommend.

Had a great meal at the Tavern last night with my wife and daughter. Evan was our server, and he did a nice job. He was pleasant, attentive and helpful.
My daughter had the Lamb shank, my wife had the blackened Salmon and I had the Linguine with shrimp, scallops an clams. All were excellently prepared with a great presentation. We all love the quality and amount of food. There were lots of sides to choose from, I picked broccoli with Bleu cheese, it was fantastic.
We sat in the outside area, which was very comfortable and warm for a cool night.

Absolutely outstanding food. Personal favorites are their short ribs, lemon aioli Brussels sprouts, and any and all of their seasonal cheesecakes. We come here every visit and always enjoy it!
