Initially constructed in 1947 as a coal-fired power plant for the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the Bailey Power Plant is reincarnated as a mixed-use workplace and entertainment hub in Wake Forest Innovation Quarter in downtown Winston-Salem. I found the ruggedness of the building to be a great place to visit downtown and it is situated next to Baily Park. There was a large inner courtyard next to the eateries for kids to play as well as tables outside to enjoy the open air. This is a definite plus filled with a great industrial meets modern feel. This commercial center in the heart of downtown should be given its own distinction in Yelp since it contains a number of businesses, but with a revitalization of commercial property, it shows not only a distinctness in use but also combined its prior use with a modern theme.

We came at an unusual time -about 2:30pm- so we didn't have a wait, but they are usually pretty packed so keep that in mind if you come during peak hours. Our waitress, Stephanie, was one of the best waitresses I've ever had. She was ready with details and suggestions about the menu and gave us extra reassurance about their produce, due to the current outbreak going on. Our spring roll appetizer came with three delicious sauces and everything about them was perfection. For entrees, my husband had the Maryland crab cake and I had shrimp Hemingway. WOW. I tried a bite of the crab cake, and it's by far the best I've ever had. So fresh, and truly full of real crab, not just breadcrumbs and extras. My dish was wonderful, great size portion, and flavor was spot on. My only complaint was that it wasn't very hot, but it was still slightly warm. The dessert menu tempted us too much to resist and I have no regrets. The warm butter cake served with fruit and ice cream, and a sugary crust, was just phenomenal. I also ended my meal with a tavern cappuccino and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a guaranteed positive experience, top tier food and service, look no further. They are doing everything right here. Village Tavern will never let you down.

The crab cakes were terrible quality - undercooked and I found myself pulling crab shell out of my mouth more times than I could count. The caramelized onions in the chicken penne were HUGE and I had to cut or remove them entirely for my daughter to eat her pasta. While the restaurant was busy, it felt like they were rushing and quality was compromised. It was so loud in the main room of the restaurant, we were quite literally yelling across a small table to be heard. I would not recommend this restaurant for parties larger than 2 but based on the quality of food this go round, our family will no longer have anniversary dinners at this restaurant.

There was a 20 min wait and we were starving after a long travel day and eager to get to campus so we ate at the mediocre crepes restaurant next door instead. When we picked her up a week later I was prepared with reservations. However, when we checked in they told us they don't take reservations so it must be for their sister restaurant (oops) and the wait was even longer this time. One of the hostesses mentioned there would be seating clearing at the bar within minutes, which was good enough for us. We sat down 3 minutes later and ordered a few minutes after that. My daughter went for a cheeseburger which she happily ate stating that the food at Wake was NOT good all week. My husband enjoyed his turkey club and packed the other half for his flight later that evening (lunch and dinner). I went with the crab cake appetizer, which I thought was just OK. It was only a few dollars cheaper than the sandwich so I probably should have gotten that instead, but didn't want to be tempted with the bread and fries. We were in and out within 30 minutes, which I appreciated since we had a drive to Chapel Hill ahead of us. Overall, it was a solid meal and I'm guessing a favorite for those affiliated with the campus.

No other way to describe it. I also loved the fact they served it with warm and toasted bread pieces.....added another depth of flavor to the entire bite. Entire thing was filled with crab meat as well. I'm used moreso to the chunkier style of crab dip, if that makes any sense, but whatever they did to theirs passed my test. For our entrees, we both opted for burgers. I've been waiting something that isn't a smash burger for quite sometime. No disrespect to smash burgers, but I've been wanting a thick, hand patted burger and they delivered. I ordered the tavern burger with the medium cook and a side of fries. Burger cook was perfect. One thing I loved was that the actual patty had char marks on it & it added more flavor to it. Very juicy and flavorful. Their fries were solid too....crispy yet soft in the middle. My wife got their bacon jam burger with a well done cook and she raved about how juicy it was. The cook was to her preference as well. She wasn't too impressed with the pasta salad as a side, but she did get an order of sweet potato fries and they were great as well. Finished the evening with their carrot cake and key lime pie to go and they were both delicious. Their key lime may be the best I've had in this area. Our server Morgan was awesome as well. Very attentive and helpful with the menu suggestions and explaining the things she personally liked, along with what was popular with other patrons. Their setup is odd....not saying that in a bad way, but its an older building and the layout says that. We were seated very quickly. Again, Morgan was awesome and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance was good....very apt for a date night. Didn't get the chance to check out any of the other dishes around, but everyone seemed pleased with the service and the food. Will be back again to try some of their other entrees.

The best thing during the meal was the complimentary bread. The first loaf was hard to cut but the second one came out steaming hot. The staff were very friendly.

The flavor was really good. Some parts were a bit dry, and the mac and cheese was just okay. Overall not a bad meal. He would get again. He also had pineapple paradise as a drink which he said was refreshing. The service was good. It was our first visit, and Chris was very helpful with suggestions and answering all of our questions.

Maybe their chicken was better but we chose all of the expensive items including a Lobster tail and ALL of it was overcooked. The only vegetables were onions and zucchini. I was needing something else green like broccoli . I was not very impressed but our service was very good. The rice was okay but I would have liked an option like Udon noodles instead...
