    Thao T.

    We had a nice experience overall at Village Tavern. There was a mix-up with our peanut allergy note on the reservation, but the manager and our server were both really nice and got the situation corrected quickly, which we really appreciated. The food was mostly great -- the French onion soup was flavorful, and the calamari had a good spicy kick. The mac and cheese was so good with that crispy breading on top. The steak and asparagus were cooked well, and the sweet potato fries were tasty, though a little too sweet -- they really don't need extra sugar. The mashed potatoes had good flavor but could've been a bit creamier. The martinis were good. The water had a strange taste, the Sprite tasted more like 7UP, and the glassware was a bit sticky, which was noticeable. Overall, good food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. The staff handled our allergy situation really well, which made the visit much better. A few small details could be improved, but we'd come back again.

    Braised short ribs

    The food was excellent with good portions. Everything was fresh & tasty. The short ribs dish was a very large portion. The butter cake for dessert was delicious! This is our go-to place to celebrate birthdays & anniversaries. Service was a little slow for being a Monday night though. The music level was just right & we could actually hear each other when talking! Highly recommend!

    My husband and I recently discovered Village Tavern on a whim not even a month ago, and we've been back 3 times already. This place is amazing! They offer so many food options and also a great Happy Hour selection. The interior reminds me of Fort Wilderness Lodge. For those that are Disney fans, you'll understand the reference. The location can get quite busy, but there is plenty of seating to handle large crowds both indoor and outdoor. The staff is amazing. We've never had someone help us that isn't polite or ready to give A+ service. I've tried so many things on the menu from their appetizers, to their dinner options, and ultimately their happy hour offerings. My current favorite appetizer is the Flash Fried Calamari. So flavorful and honestly I never want to share with my husband - it's THAT GOOD. The Happy Hour options are so filling and easily could satisfy a dinner craving for those that aren't super hungry. Try their Tuna Poke or their Firecracker Shrimp Tacos - both are AMAZING!

    We are visiting family and they wanted to take us out for dinner at the Village Tavern. Overall I would say our entire experience was meh. We ordered drinks but half the table ordered bar drinks that took forever to arrive. We ordered the onion dip and spinach dip for apps. The onion dip was missing onion and the spinach dip was blah, not much flavor. For our main I had the pimento blt which was really good but the fries were dull. Unfortunately my husband had the short ribs and they were horrible. They were drier than sawdust. My mother had a burger which was okay. My uncle enjoyed his fish and my grandmother enjoyed her ahi tuna. My aunt also had the blt and again it was very good. Unfortunately the meal as a whole just didn't measure up to the beautiful atmosphere.

    So, I decided to come back here since I had a good experience the first time and the food was good. I wasn't really impressed this time around, unfortunately. Service was incredibly slow. We ordered the crab dip, and honestly, I couldn't taste much of anything. I apps got the crabcakes as my entree and it was the same thing, no taste. My husband got the fish and chips and he didn't really enjoy it. The fish was had an overwhelming oil taste to it. I genuinely think this is a good spot for a family dinner, but I wasn't happy with the seafood here. Server was nice.

    This has been my one our families' favorite lunch / dinner spots for years. Always great service , consistent food flavor, and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you want to sit in the full service spacious bar with tables , booths and hightops or dinner on the patio or inside dining area you will be satisfied. I am from NC where the restaurant originated and has been a go to spot for several outings. Give it a try if you have not.

    Their Mediaterian Bowl has a mixture of Kale a Super Food, Grapes,Cheese,Cashews and Grilled Chicken Dish (WOW!!!!) it is a (Fantastic) very filling meal.And they sit you down right away when you have made Reservations ahead of time but there music is very much too loud and it makes you to hear the other's sitting around the table

    I have been going here with my family ever since I was a child. It is truly a long standing neighborhood staple. Still quite busy even though it's been around forever, so that says something about this place. Bar area was busy with a more casual crowd. We ate on the dining room side. Service was properly attentive for a place of this caliber. Wide selection of what they call martinis but I call cosmos. Berry one much better than the pear one. Drinks similarly priced to other restaurants in the area. Our food did take a while to come out, but again, the place was quite crowded so not a big surprise.This is a place to go to linger and enjoy the ambiance and company, not to rush in and out of. My pork chop was perfectly cooked, just enough to get the pink out and still remain moist. Chutney definitely added flavor to otherwise benign mashed potatoes and green beans. I would order it again. I also love their grilled chicken Caesar salad. Tons of seating available (tables and booths), and they do take reservations for larger parties.

    I came again on a business trip to Alpharetta back in September and came for lunch with a group of coworkers. Our party came staggered as two of our group were running late due to a meeting going over the allotted time. Laurel, our waitress was super cool about it and just cool in general. We ordered for our coworkers as they texted us what they wanted. The food was delicious, the service excellent. When Laurel came with our bill she had a collection of different colored pens for us to choose from... was like a rainbow. I thought that was neat! Cool place! Great food! Great Service!

    Very good. We had the calamari in peanut sauce and burgers. Everything was cooked properly and was very tasty. The atmosphere is dimly lit, cozy, and comfortable. Our server Tikisha was very pleasant, nice, and professional.

The service was on point with attentive informative and timely interactions. Great cocktails by the bartender always starts off the experience on a high note and the appetizers and mains were over the top.

With fries, cole slaw and cocktail sauce. Different and so good. Order it. And the Blackened Redfish was out of this world with dirty rice and crab pontchartrain sauce. Oh my my!

We were told that they wouldn't seat us until 7pm and that it may be 5 or 10 minutes after that. A little irritating, but not a deal breaker. 7pm comes, 7:05. 7:10. We ask how much longer. We are told they are waiting on tables. Um, ok? 7:15, 7:20, 7:25....finally a table. Why even make a reservation if we aren't seated until 25 minutes after? They take us to our table, a party of 2 mind you, and sit us at a cafeteria style table for 6. There were PLENTY of 2 tops around. People who came in after us were seated at them with no problem. Again, weird, not a deal breaker but getting more irritating. Our waitress came over quickly and was amazing the entire night. Attentive and prompt. She took our drink and app orders. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. It is marketed as upscale. Why did she bring us drinks in plastic cups and say they were out of glasses? Excuse me? I am paying over $200 for my meal to drink out of plastic cups? We get our appetizer and it is delicious. Cajun Crab dip. There is a lot of dip and only a small bread loaf, so we ordered an additional loaf after we ate that one. Our waitress put the order in promptly, but the kitchen never sent it out and she had to go find it. By that time, our app was cold. We still ate it, just another disappointment. Our entrees came out promptly, both of us having ordered the Delmonico ribeye, medium. I added a lobster tail. We both had mac and cheese. I had greens, my husband Brussel sprouts. Neither of our steaks were cooked medium. Both were medium well and tough. $52 steaks, fyi. We had already been there an hour and with all of the other incidents, I was just ready to go. Sides were good, lobster tail was cooked perfectly. To sum it up, long wait even with a reservation, weird seating, plastic cups, forgetful kitchen and over cooked steak. Not quite the upscale dining we are used to with a $225 bill. Great server, great apps, good sides. Overall a disappointing anniversary dinner and would not go back.

As a self-described foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that offer creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes with plenty of variety. Foundation exceeded every expectation. I ordered every dish the staff recommended, and each one was outstanding. Julio provided attentive, knowledgeable service, and you can tell Chef Mel and his wife, Sandy, have poured their hearts into every aspect of the dining experience. Their attention to detail is remarkable--they genuinely care that every bite is exactly as it should be, and it shows. We started with the Crisp Spanish Octopus and the mushroom ravioli. Julio also suggested adding an order of bread to soak up the incredible sauces, and I'm so glad he did--not a drop was left on the plate. For my entrée, I chose the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. I even skipped most of the accompanying beans to save room for dessert, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the night. The blueberry olive cake with blueberry sorbet was phenomenal and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and refreshingly free of distractions, allowing the food and conversation to take center stage. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with incredible food, outstanding hospitality, and an environment where every detail matters, Foundation Eatery is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back. PS. I can't believe they have a burger on the menu. I'd try that based on everything else!

He also informed us that food was made from scratch and the ribs were already sold out! Bummer as that would've been a go to choice! The restaurant it self seemed cleaned and a sleek look to it. We chose 2 fried chicken meals and steak and frite. These dishes were to brag about 100%, wish I could've met the head chef and supervisor on shift to let them how wonderful the food was and that the staff have great personality and professional! This chicken meals were beyond what could've fool me as a homemade chicken made by someone's grandma! The steak was cooked to perfection that could've melted in your mouth. Due to my son's birthday, the server offered a complimentary dessert for him to have! I recommend this place or their other locations 10/10!
