We did a Pictorial Review of the Village Tavern in Alpharetta just outside Atlanta in May 2010. Little did we know that when we chose them that they are one of the local favorites. Our guests raved about them and said they had been there many times before.

The reason we chose the Village Tavern is because they have a restaurant in Boynton Beach and Pembroke Pines in Florida as well as North Carolina, Alabama and Colorado for when you are traveling and want a great restaurant at a reasonable price. Photos: copyright Michael Penn

 We had already picked out the Banana Crepes which we had finished when the Manager showed up and said you have to try  this: Dessert Sampler Apple Cobbler, Key Lime Pie,
St. Barths Chocolate Torte................ladies to die for trust us. OK there were four of us and we could handle it:)


 Banana Crepes
French crepes layered with Nutella and Banana Ice Cream, fresh banana, caramel & chocolate sauces.


We sampled their Rodney Strong pinot noir for those who prefer a red wine.


Village Tavern is the winner of  the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence


On the way home we went by the Alpharetta Town Hall. It's just such a great quaint town.

Shannon a Manager, Barbara the floor host and Bret the waiter made for an extremely enjoyable evening.


Hot Crab Dip, Backfin crab meat with toasted garlic bread. We could live on their appetizers alone. This dish is scrum shish.


Flash-Fried Calamari
Served with Thai Chili sauce. The lightest freshest, most tender calamari we have ever found. A must have for calamari lovers, there is plenty to share.


We had a medley of seafood for dinner entrees, top left scallops, seafood fettuccini, crab cakes, Ahi tuna.


Maryland - Style Crab Cakes packed to the hilt with real crab, no filler, baby you have come to the right place for the best crab cakes where every bite of crab is savored.

 


 We tried their new Cajun Seafood fettuccine with sautéed jumbo shrimp, scallops tossed in a light cream sauce that was out of this world. Andouille sausage and the green and red peppers added a nice touch.

A sampling of some specials they run include the following and more. Subject to change.

Tavern Twosome - Dine in pairs and save. Enjoy two salads and two pizzas for $20 OR one appetizer and two entrées from a select menu for $25.

Live Music – Enjoy live music by Steve Ward on Tuesdays and Burt Mabry on Thursdays from 7 to 10 pm.

Wine and Dine Wednesdays – Savor all wines by the glass for half price.

Temptation Thursdays – Enjoy great drink specials in the bar, and ladies receive half-priced appetizers beginning at 4 pm.

Fabulous Fridays - Sip on any and every cocktail for half price all day. There is no better place to welcome the weekend, relax with friends and enjoy a refreshing beverage, whether it is a specialty martini or classic liquor.


 


The outside of the building is very country as if you were entering a little village country side inn.


The bar lounge area accommodates diners as well as sippers:)


The dining room is accent lighted to give a romantic and peaceful feeling. Tall booths gave you plenty of privacy and the entire dining room was very quiet considering the size.



A young group of prom goers were politely seated near us. They had a great time.

 


The outside pation area was closed when we arrived due to rain otherwise we would have sat outside.



Grilled Pacific Ahi Tuna drizzled with honey wasabi and plum sauce, served with asparagus and rice on the side. Our guest was a ahi tuna lover and said this is the best around:)

 


Pan seared very large and tender scallops served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Deliciously filling:) and ever so sweet.
