Impress Your Friends

by CityGirl1979 at Citysearch

I went there for dinner with a friend this past Tuesday and I loved the entire experience; from the lovely drive from SF through the winding roads of Woodside to the superb service to the great food. The place was filled with young men in suits (I-bankers I assume), which provided me with eye candy to feast upon. The food was excellent, but what really impressed me about the restaurant was the casual elegance of the location, decor and staff. This is my new favorite restaurant in California. Period.

Fantastic

The VIllage Pub is simply excellent. If you want to be confident of a great meal on an important night, this is the place. They make their own charcuterie- a must try. Reservations are a good idea. The one problem I have had is sitting at the bar on a cold evening- every time the door opens, there is a large rush of frigid air; make reservations and you will not have a problem. One of the few places that really is worth a rather high price.

Dress code needs enforcement; food and service good

by alyano at Citysearch

In this age of relaxed dress codes, I can almost tolerate tee shirts and jeans showing up at an establishment promoting fine dining (Village Pub used to have a dress code). But when our dining party witnessed the seating of a couple wearing hospital scrubs being seated next to us, it was not a pleasant dining experience. It would seem that a health issue would be a concern. While the food and service were good , I would not return because I expect a reasonable dress code at a fine dining establishment.

• Pros: Poor dress code enforcement
• Cons: good service
