The scallops are to die for! The environment is very welcoming and colonial--very beautiful. The staff are so sweet and caring! DELICIOUS FOOD read more

What a disappointment. We just celebrated a birthday and Mother's Day at Village Square and I have the urge to shake my finger with disapproval. The portions were small, the food was bland, wilted, and presented without attention to details. There were also noticeable discrepancies in the size and plating of identical dishes. I was frankly embarrassed and left hungry after a 3-course meal (?!) The kitchen was evidently in a rush, running out of food, or just didn't care. For such a lovely restaurant in one of Winchester's best locations, I pray that you improve your standards. read more

I use to come here a lot with my girlfriends for brunch on Sundays. $28 for soup, salad, an entrée, and dessert. Plus bottomless mimosas and bloody marys. Every time I have gone the food was delicious. However, after recently moving out of the area, I came to brunch today to visit with family. It seems they raised the price to $32 and took out the dessert option, replacing it with small samples. In addition to the price raise, the food quality and taste seems to have gone down. The lobster bisque was good, the mixed green salad was okay, but my entrée (Smoked Salmon Benedict) had way too much salt added. All I could taste was salt in every bite. Unfortunately, I probably won't be coming back. Though, the service was great and staff was very nice but I've had better food at iHop. Save yourself some money and eat elsewhere. read more

Had lunch at this quaint place. Service was very good. The lunch special - sandwich, soup, salad was very good. And at a very reasonable price! Delicious bisque, egg salad tasty, "Mexican" Caesar salad nicely done. Tea (constant comment) was replaced without a hitch when I requested a plain black tea. read more

The food and the service is excellent! Annie who usually works the bar is excellent at anticipating her patrons needs and whenever I ask for a drink her recommendation she is spot on!! I highly recommend you go there for dinner or post dinner drinks!! read more

Village Square Restaurant is not great, but it's an alright place to have a meal. I took my husband here for his birthday and we both had an appetizer, entree and split a bottle of wine. This was the most expensive dining experience we've ever had (not including the wine) and we've dined at many fine dining establishments. Their prices are quite high considering the quality of the food. There aren't many really good local restaurants in the Winchester area, so I would say Village Square is one of the better ones. read more

My wife and I dined for our third visit today and found the only bit of consistency to be in the terribly unorganized staff and overpriced truly mediocre food. It's never been our choice of restaurants (we've been guests) but will certainly steer our friends clear in the future. read more

This is one of my favorite upscale restaurants restaurants to dine in when I am in Winchester, V.A. The food is consistently well prepared and good. I have high expectations when I come here and they deliver in spades. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner. The service is professional and courteous. read more

I must agree with Kristina C. The service here is terrible. The waitresses consider themselves to be heiresses too good to wait on the commoners. So, let's give them some advice - get out of the waitressing business. Both times I had brunch here I had chillingly bad, slow service and I was with a group of at least four people on each occasion. That usually comes with a mighty high price tag at this restaurant, so you would think the snooty waitresses would be aware that every cent of their tip is dependent on how well they serve. This would include refilling waters and checking on the table - the bare minimum for a server. So, Village Square, I really loved your french press coffee - it was the best I've ever had, and the food was quite good but overpriced just the same. So, I grant you two stars. Hire new servers that don't think they have rose smelling stools and I may come back. read more

Stopped in for a quick creme brulee after dinner at the Thai Place, and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience (This place is ADORABLE), the staff's flexibility and the fact that in addition to vanilla creme brulee, they had a blueberry as well - YUM! Now that we've finally stopped in, we will definitely be back. read more

First time here for the Sunday Brunch, and we will definitely be back. The price was extremely reasonable for a three course meal with unlimited mimosas and bloody Mary's. Our server, Brandon, was very personable as well as knowledgeable. I have already started texting friends to recommend that they try it out!!! read more

This is probably one of the best restaurants we have visited in awhile for reasonably priced, world class food. The burger came with plenty of fries for $8 vs next door at Union Jacks for $11 without fries. The burger was the best I have EVER had....3/4 to 1 pound of good lean meat on a potato bun with a huge slice of tomato and red onion! Dijon and Ketsup on the side! This place is well worth the drive all the way from Washington, D.C. read more

Food was tasty, fries are a must. Would love to try out the lounge piano bar one evening. The lunch service, while friendly, was slow.

Subdued, professional waitstaff. Perhaps a little slow, but not so slow as to be noteworthy (if it weren't for all the comments about the service in the reviews). The three of us each ordered the three course brunch meal. The website said the price was $27.50. When we arrived it was $38.50. The shrimp bisque appetizer was bland. The Caesar salads were small and flavorless (even the croutons had no discernible flavor). The appetizer buffet that came with meal was not bad -- it contained several decent dishes including artichoke salad and different cured/smoked meats. The crepes newburg were served in a casserole like manicotti -- baked, dried out and not very good. The sides consisted of a little lettuce and split cherry tomatoes with a little, tasteless dressing (not the fruit sides promised on the menu). The petite strip was filled with gristle and the potatoes it came with were undercooked and drenched in a harsh gravy. The grilled salmon lunch course was well presented but nothing special.. Dessert chocolate souffles were gloppy and gelatinous and served in a tin foil cup. All these shortcomings I could have forgiven had we paid less. But at the price they charged it was a bad experience. Also, although it is poitnless to complain about the portion size of food you don't like, the portions were way too small for the price. read more

Wonderful place to go for a nice evening out. They have a great happy hour from 4-7. Half off their martini list and half off their Gourmet Pizza's. My friends and I used to come here about once a week for the HH and I have had many wonderful memories here. read more

First time visiting. Highly recommended by friends. A little confusing knowing where to go when you first come in. No hostess at front door, bar scene. After being seated in the back atmosphere was great. Nice street view. However the service was terrible. After providing menus the server would disappear for extremely long time. Say she's bringing bread, leave butter, and not return for 10 minutes later. Crab cakes were delicious but filet was extremely undercooked. Even when sending back to the kitchen it came back not done. Filet had a lot of fat on it. Very small proportions. 2 rolls with meal. Expected a lot more from my friends earlier praise. Not impressed. read more

Went here for brunch, and it took an hour for the food to come out. I got the chorizo scramble, which consisted of approximately one scrambled egg, a teaspoon of chorizo, and 6 small pieces of potato. I'm writing this at the table, so I have yet to see how much this cost me... I rate Brunch at Village square: One star. read more

It sucked, it took 1 hour to get the food and by that time it was cold and soggy. Absolutely terrible experience.

Had salmon with orzo at a company event. Very good preparation and portion. Lobster bisque was very good too.

*The* place for cocktails and snacks when shopping in Winchester. Chill vibe, comfortable seats, nice servers.

Wonderful meal tonight at the Village Square. Capable service, excellent fare, and superb ambiance.

Lunch special really good. Cup of soup, small salad and a whole sandwich. I had a crab lobster bisque. Really good. Winter salad a nice blend of greens with a few slices of beets, some sort of nuts and Gorgonzola cheese. I think. Lightly dressed. Very good. Couldn't eat the sandwich. Brought it home for husband. It's a great value for $10. Beautiful decor inside. I plan to come back for dinner some time soon. Right on the walking mall near the parking lot. Staff very nice. Service excellence. read more

This place is SO overpriced for what you get. The appetizers are poorly described, I ordered the Mozarella Caprese and got an argula salad with a blob of cheap mozarella and maybe 5 tiny heirloom tomoatoes. I got the crab cake for dinner and it was quite small (especially for being 15$!!!!) My husband and I spent way too much money on a very mediocre meal. read more

If I could leave 0 stars for this restaurant, I would. I've been to this restaurant several times with my husband for date nights, and the food was fantastic. However, I just left there after an incredibly disappointing experience. My husband and I tried to go there for date night again tonight, and we were told there was an open table on the patio after we had to flag down a member of the waitstaff to be seated. We sat down, got our menus, silverware, and waters, and our waiter told us he'd be right with us. A different waiter then came out and told us he was sorry but we would have to move because he had a group inside waiting for an outdoor table. To be clear, he didn't tell us where we should wait in the meantime, and he didn't offer another table where we could sit, he just told us to please get up and move. We got up, and our original waiter asked if there was a problem. We told him we were asked to get up but we weren't really sure where to wait for another table. He asked who had told us that, so we described the other gentleman that had told us to move. He said he "wasn't privy to that information" and walked inside. We proceeded to step inside to wait but were told we could either wait to be seated outside or go over to the restaurant side to wait for a table there. We chose to leave, instead, and we won't be returning. You've lost 2 loyal customers tonight. read more

Garbage food, everything came out cold, and the service by a few different servers was lacking. The atmosphere was EH. Just awfully big attitudes from the staff that served me a cold frittata and has an 84 out of 100 health score. I informed them about my dietary restrictions and they still messed up...very displeased and not worth the $35...or the forced tip. read more

This was our first visit as we were passing through, but found Village Square to offer just the right atmosphere, friendliness and cocktails to take the edge off a full day in the car. We sat on the Piano Bar side, with lots of loungy seating, a 12 person bar, attentive bartenders, and chatty international fellow patrons. After a perfect Manhattan, I ordered the spinach salad with pecans, bleu, etc.. a bit on the small side, spinach a bit wilted (which I wasn't expecting, but wasn't bad) and grilled onions, which were a nice touch. I followed with another app, the pork belly, which, I must say, probably wasn't worth the calories...not braised long enough to have that silky melted texture inside, but over-grilled so it had a charred, tough-to-cut outside. Also, it was served in one of those overly swoopy oblong bowls that made it more than difficult to cut and enjoy...advice? Less design, more substance. My partner's meal, however, was stellar.. a massive mound of grilled pork (double-cut chops) replete with Mac n cheese, bitter greens and the whole magilla, looked amazing. Dessert was unnecessary, (again, too much swirl), but overall, I would go back when we next blow through WInchester. read more

They have a new cook and the food has made dramatic improvements. I've been twice in the last couple months and there was a new/different menu each time with several vegetarian options. Veg was virtually ignored on the old menu. If you haven't been for awhile give it another try! read more

We're getting ready to move to Winchester, so we've been spending a lot of time there. All I can say is that we love Village Square. Great beers on draft and I have dreams about the Virginia Chicken Salad Wrap. The mushroom ravioli is also to die for. The staff is always friendly and the owner is on site and incredibly attentive. Great martini menu for those so inclined. If its breezy, the patio is a great place to enjoy lunch and people watch on the pedestrian mall. read more

We had a delicious meal here and except for one small issue, it was great. We brought it to the waiters attention and he promptly took care of it. I would recommend eating here as they are very accommodating, including small children!!! read more

Our favorite place to go. The food is always excellent. Seasonal changing menu. Jeffery and the rest of the staff treat us so good that we feel like we've come home each time we walk in. A must if you are visiting Winchester. read more

Village Square was a nice place for dinner on a picturesque street. We sat outside on a lovely fall day. I ordered the crab cake dinner. It was much more filling than crab cake entrees usually are. I enjoyed it a great deal, and my friends enjoyed their entrees as well. One thing of note, however, is that I found it a bit overpriced. I had a bit of a misconception when we arrived that this was going to be more of a pub atmosphere (that is what it looks like on the outside), but it turned out to be somewhat fancy and hence the high prices. Don't get me wrong - the food is quite good, but don't expect a bargain. :) read more

My girlfriend and I had lunch here a few weeks ago outside. The atmosphere was great, food was very good and service was excellent. This past Sunday I was hired to perform close up magic at a private party (not by the restaurant). Before I started I hung out at the bar. Both bartenders were very friendly. This is definitely one of the nicer places to eat or get a drink in Winchester. read more

This is my favorite bar in Winchester. The great selection of cocktails and quality bourbon are poured by talented bartenders. The food is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. Great atmosphere. read more

I had a wonderful meal here while passing through town with my boyfriend. We both really enjoyed our food (I had organic chicken dish and he had the filet mignon), but the server kept forgetting/ignoring my boyfriend (forgot to bring his drink, but brought mine, and then never offered a refill until we put the glass on the edge of the table). I would go back. read more

The atmosphere was nice, but the food was disappointing. Oysters Rockefeller did not have have the classic broiled bread crumb/Parmesan topping, just a glob of cream spinach, they took a short cut and the dish disappointed as it was missing a layer of flavor and texture. The peroxide were not very good. Perogies are dumplings and need to be boiled before being sautéed, these were simply pan fried and not great. They advertised brown butter but there was no brown butter apparent. The Coquilles St Jacques with mushroom risotto sounded good on the menu but did not deliver. The risotto was the worst I have ever had, tasteless. The four large scallops were not cooked in the sauce nor pan seared, perhaps cooked ahead, lightly draped in sauce. Anyone who remembers the classic and who would expect a rich luscious sauce, as I did, would again be disappointed. Ordered Absolute Vodka, sure it was not Absolute. Overpromised and underdelivered. read more

I was at Village Square Restaurant for Winchester Restaurant Week and I was interested in trying the "Duroc Pork Roulade with candied walnuts, spinach, Gruyere cheese over Yukon potato mousse & cherry demi glace" I have a slight walnut allergy and wanted to know if the walnuts could be left out or eaten around. The waiter said he would ask. A few minutes later, the chef came out to talk to me and said he did not feel comfortable exposing me to an allergen. He then offered to specially prepare a version of the dish without the walnuts. I am glad he was so accommodating because it was delicious! Everything was great! The waiter was very attentive. The employees certainly went over the top to make it a great evening and meal. read more

I've been to Winchester a number of times for business and I believe this is the best place to eat in Winchester. The place is on the high end dollar wise, but you get what you pay for. I've been a few times, every meal has been excellent, and the service was just as good. read more

As you first walk in your welcomed with a comforting atmosphere and a wonderful crew. The people who work here are just as lovely as the food. Then you get to the food were you are offered perfectly toasted bread. The size of their meals are perfect to get a full stomach but not a stomach ache, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. I would recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful meal with wonderful service. read more

Located on the interesting "Old Town" mall in Winchester this restaurant offers well prepared meals in a handsomely decorated structure. The Village Square does a brisk business because it delivers the goods and is very well managed. read more

The food options are varied to suit anyones preference. The meals are well prepared and served by a very consciousness staff. The restaurant has a very pleasing decor with the piano bar area adding another dimension to the space. Highly recommend if you're looking for upscale dining with a relaxed atmosphere. read more
