A very nice restaurant for meeting friends. Delicious food and awesome wait staff. We had a group of 10 and got a separate room for lunch which was wonderful. From the looks of everyone else's plates at the end of the gathering, everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. I recommend this restaurant which is in the pedestrian mall which is a wonderful destination in itself. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Winchester. Their Bloody Mary/Mimosa brunch is a "must try at least once" experience. Dan provides unique and varied optional taste bud delights. Their dinner menu is superb with some creative- fun seasonal crafted cocktails. read more

Recently had our daughters post-wedding lunch here for 34 people. It was perfect! From the pre-lunch planning communication, to the wait staff and food - perfection. My husband and I are so pleased that our little date spot could make our large party feel so welcome and do such a great job for us. Dy was fantastic in helping us plan everything. I can't say enough about how great the staff was in making our daughter's day so fantastic. All of the people here were wonderful and felt like we had known them for years!! We are so grateful to Village Square for making our lunch experience so memorable. The menu I created for our party was amazing! Everyone who came is still raving about how good the food was and how well it went. We look forward to many more visits here. read more

Brooke, our tentative bartender, makes one of the best vodka martinis (dirty) I've had in a long time! That alone will bring me back! Nice ambiance and relaxed atmosphere. Great appetizers was all we had - oysters, shrimp and a great crab dip that wasn't the typical, overly cheesy, overly creamy, "soup like" dip. The only thing we'd prefer is a way to tone down the din - very loud. Maybe some sound deadening material. read more

I enjoyed eating here but probably won't go back due to the 3% "convenience fee" the restaurant charges for credit card payments. There's also a 5% state sales tax and a 4% county meals tax. With the taxes, fees and tip it's just not worth it to go out to eat anymore. Restaurant owners in Frederick County need to lobby the county to repeal the meals tax. That's what restaurant owners in Prince William County are doing. Also if the restaurant doesn't want to pay the credit card swipe fees they should just not accept credit cards. Don't pass the swipe fees on to the customer. I realize the swipe fees are BS. Hopefully a bill recently reintroduced in Congress will end the BS. Restaurants need to lobby hard to get the bill passed. https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-marshall-reintroduces-bipartisan-credit-card-swipe-fee-legislation-standing-with-main-street-over-wall-street/ read more

We went last year after visiting the Arboretum. Loved it, great food and atmosphere.

Lovely place with polite staff and great entrees. One of the best establishments on the walling mall.

In crusted trout, served with asparagus and rice. It was excellent. My hubby had the rib etown for a wedding. We were looking for something local. Found this cute place that could feed the carnivore and vegan! Great location in historic Winchester. Nice walking mall to boot! There were 4 in our group. I had the fresh NC pecanye steak. It was cooked perfectly, and served a baked potato and asparagus. He very much enjoyed it. My adventurous daughter had the Vegan steak, was DELICIOUS! made out of sweet potato and black beans. Some liquid smoke was added, and served with steak sauce and asparagus. Highly recommended! Other daughter was happy with her burger and very good fries. They had a nice specialty cocktail list, wines and brews. We had to sit outside. There were heaters. Recommend reservation. read more

Ten of us dined together on Saturday and everyone completely enjoyed the entire experience. Liz, our server was delightful, attentive & patient. The drinks were phenomenal and each appetizer & entree was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Desserts were generous & also yummy! We are all out-of-Towners but will be looking for a reason to come back!!! Can't recommend The Village Square highly enough; go there!! read more

We showed up late on a Tuesday night with some friends. The initial server was very slow to get to us with drinks that were provided by somebody else. We ordered some appetizers, the Appalachian dipping plate, which included hummus, and an order of fried General Tso shrimp. I order a standard filet mignon with green beans and potatoes, the wife ordered some butternut squash raviolis that were apparently very good. The steak came out extremely well, seasoned and what would you expect from a high-end restaurant overall very happy with the dining experience, and would eat here again. read more

Not great. Had the oysters Rockefeller, and was put off by the total cream cheese, bacon flavor vs spinach lemon cream that I am accustomed to. Also ordered the Asian duck lettuce wraps and peach burrata caprese. The duck was overwhelmingly salty, and had carrots and daikon which would suggest bahn mi flavors, but all you could taste was salt. The peach caprese was bland and tasted like peanut butter powder. Very strange flavor to the greens and an utter disappointment read more

Food was decent, nice to sit outside, and the inside looked good too. Salmon cake special a little too fishy. A specialty salad with local tomatoes was excellent. Service was slow but friendly. Price was reasonable. Doubt I'd go back, but there's nothing bad either. read more

We are regulars and always enjoy the service, tasty food, and especially the great happy hour menu!

Two stars for the servers. That's it. Came here tonight for our anniversary dinner and ordered filets. Both were over cooked but hubby decided to eat his while I sent mine back. A legit 30 minutes later I was presented with a raw filet. We left. Thanks a lot for spoiling a special occasion with your ineptitude in the kitchen. Will never be back. read more

A disappointing Anniversary dinner although the evening was beautiful. The glass of champagne was somewhat flat. My crab cakes had a lot of filler. shoe string potatoes were bland, Cole slaw needed flavor My husband's scallops were good and seared well and , risotto was good. Flourless Baked Alaska? picture a small piece of cake covered in a small amount of coffee ice cream coated with a whole container of squishy marshmallow fluff lightly toasted! Meringue? Nope. Obviously poorly done processed , frozen restaurant service desert read more

We had a reservation at Village Square tonight and requested a booth we got there and were seated at a table and were told booths were just a request and not a guarantee (IT WAS IN OUR RESERVATION)!! The hostess or whoever she was seemed annoyed but did move us from a table to a booth but the table top was filthy and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. The entrees were all good but we ordered mediterranean dipping plate and it was terrible, barely enough for two people let alone 4 it came with a handful of carrots a few radishes and two pieces of sliced crostini. The dinner rolls were hard as rocks and the desserts were just mediocre. Our server was not very attentive she did not check on us regularly and other tables seemed more important. For the money the food is too inconsistent and this place and all the staff needs some classes in customer service. read more

Lunch time in downtown Winchester, the Village Square restaurant looked busy and busy is good. It was a little too sunny, so I went for a table inside but close to the window. I had the lunch club sandwich, which turned out to be a classic club. Three layers of toast, bacon, ham, turkey, cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato. Cut into diagonal quarters and stuck with toothpicks. A big pile of thin and crispy fries on top and served with a pot of ketchup. Classic. For $10, a bargain for a sandwich this large. read more

Been here a few times. This was the last for me. Watery crab bisque, no bread or even crackers were included. I asked for crackers and the server told us some times they provide them sometimes they don't. What? Ordered the grilled scallop cob salad. The 3 scallops were perfectly cooked. There was a small sliver of avocado, 2 quarters of boiled egg, a few corn kernels and a small amount of mixed greens. For $21 I expected at least to get some greens, and again, maybe a cracker or a piece of bread. Total bill was $40, including iced tea and the tip. read more

We have been here a few times in the past with no issue, but nothing spectacular either. We came out this evening and ordered mussels. Out of about 20 mussels about 5 didn't open. The manager took the unopened ones to the back and brought them back to us stating he was able to pry them open. Yeah, No thanks dude. Supposed to be served with fresh bread- they brought us 2 small pieces after asking 3 or 4 times. Dinner comes out. Steak ordered mid rare. Came out well done. So again we tell the waiter, who sends the manager. We ask for our bill, because at this point service sucks and food was miserable. The manager tells us to just go, we don't want you to sit here any longer. Now let's be clear... we offered to pay for appetizer and drinks. Just a miserable experience. read more

As a Winchester native for nearly 30 years, I have frequented Village Square numerous times throughout the year for their infamous "Endless Mimosas" and brunch. Prior to COVID-19, customers could enjoy making their own mimosas and choose off the three-course menu for a price of nearly $33. After my visit today, I can honestly say this is the worst experience I have had at Village Square. We received three drinks in 1.5 hours for an "endless mimosa" brunch special and our entire party received our food cold, without nearly any taste/flavor, and now followed by endless excuses by the management. I completely understand restaurants are under short staffing; however, management at Village Square can control what they can which would either be reducing the overall pricing, serve their drinks in additional formats (pitchers, etc.), or discontinue their "endless mimosa brunch," a dining experience they can no longer provide. Extremely disappointed and highly recommend customers either wait until COVID-19 is over or until new management arrives... read more

Great service, great food, great ambiance! Best place in Winchester! You still need to wear a mask here, because of this we won't frequent until the mask order is lifted. The crab cake was fishy, the hamburger was the best I've ever had in my lifetime. The mimosas were 100%. The server was attentive and sweet. I loved the staff. The look and feel of the restaurant was so cozy and European. It was a little magical. We loved it. read more

My girlfriends and I had a great time. The bartender made us yummy cocktails. Thank you

Great menu with variety of selections! We had the crab stuffed bacon wrapped Jalapeños. Husband said one of the best! I loved them too. I got the market salad had pears goat cheese and the protein I selected was chicken. Amazing flavor together. Really enjoyed. Sat outside and the weather and views in the square are wonderful. Our waitress was amazing and enjoyed her small talk. Would recommend for sure. read more

Excellent meal. Great service. I have nothing more to say... Cut the minimum length requirement or I'll refuse to review...

I've always enjoyed this place and every time we come there are MORE GLUTEN FREE options. Honestly it's heaven. I used to always get the sea scallops and now there is so much GF on the menu I have a hard time deciding. Tons of unique appetizers, salads, and creative entrees.

I stumbled across this Jewel of the Nile, whilst visiting Winchester on a staycation from Maryland. I was greeted with superb hospitality, and the experience went up from there!!! I order the Oysters, and the Chef/Owner came out and helped me with the Menu, he made his recommendations, and he didn't disappoint. Everything I had from the menu was awesome!!! I have not complaints and no recommendations!!!! Perfect experience!!!! High Class Dining, with a family style attitude!!! read more

The food was good and the service was great. Serious attention was paid to a food allergy. Much appreciated.

Great ambiance, great raw bar selection, great craft cocktails and in an excellent location.

Stopped in here on a beautiful First Friday in September. The weather was just perfect, and this is a fave place of my sister. We checked out the extensive happy hour menu and ordered our cocktails. I had my first ever Aperol spritzer, which has been on my "want to try" list for some time! Our server was very friendly and efficient! We ordered the happy hour oysters ($1 each!), and you really can't go wrong with that! They weren't the best oysters I've ever had, but they certainly weren't the worst! We really enjoyed sitting outside and watching the people go by and the pleasant environment. Would definitely go back! read more

Village Square - Aperol Spritz - American Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Went for brunch. Overall food was tasty. Service was extremely slow! All servers seemed to be between 16-18 years old, unable to serve alcohol. The penny bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's required you to go to the bar for service. Not convenient when you are sitting on the farthest other side of the restaurant. A new change from my last visit a year ago! Service was so slow had to find someone else to checkout. Will not be returning anytime soon! read more
