Amazing dinner! I had shrimp scampi – fresh, sweet and spicy all together. We also had seafood risotto and beef bolognese. Great service as well and a very good and affordable Oregon Pinot Noir…

Big dining in a small town! Been here several times and they consistently rotate the menu. You’ll see shrimp scampi and seared scallop gnocchi in the photos. Both exquisite. And they make their own ice cream/sorbets. One of my favorite places in the state.

Wonderful discovery, finding a quaint little restaurant in a little New England town, kudos to the Little Village Bistro . . . Driving on rt. #1 in Wisscaset, take rt. #27 north about 1/2 mile . . . restaurant is on the right side of road. You need reservations.
My wife and I arrived 25 minutes early, prior to our reservation. . . So we started our evening at the bar. A plethora of red wines, my wife found the Melbec from Argentina, excellent ($9 glass) . . . while I enjoyed a Sam Adam’s winter lager. Small bar that seats about 6 people, but well stocked with good selection of bourbons, whiskeys, and a variety of liquors.
Our server escorted us over to our table at the specified time. I observed about 10 tables, half that seated couples, and half that seated groups of 4 people. My guess would be 34 folks at the 5:30 seating. I found the room cozy, with a reasonable noise level for good conversation . . . Not the setting for a large party of 14 to 20 people packed & stacked in a long table configuration. (Unless you had a special arrangement with the owner/chef for the whole room )
As to food, the menu changes with the season . . . We found the choices well suited to December’s cool temperatures.
I wish a warm soup had been offered, but not on our night? We split an excellent arugula salad with shaved root vegetable with and a delectable dressing, accompanied by fried calamari on the side! Then my wife ordered up yellow fin/Ahi tuna ($26), and I tried their rack of lamb ($35), over potatoes and little green peas . . . both cooked perfectly and delicious. So glad we saved enough room . . . we split a carrot & coconut cake that topped off a great meal . . . at $160 for two.
All this restaurant needs is a view . . . maybe a roaring fireplace in the winter, or sail boats floating by as the sun set over looking a bay? Still a wonderful meal, good service, in a cozy setting that would be my go to place with good friends or family members. Thanks Village Bistro!

Always fabulous. Their salads are especially fine and creative. Great house red wine. Main dishes are also very well done and the staff knows how to “read” their customers. Well worth the price!

Staff were extremely friendly which was a very welcome surprise being we were a feeling a little less than their typical clientele. They quickly worked to relocate our seating arrangements due to my being on crutches. Our food was cooked to perfection (rare, but seared well on the outside) and the flavors were just explosive – the drinks, meal and dessert. I cannot praise enough. Everything about this night was perfect which was great because it was my birthday. Thanks Becca!!

Absolutely outstanding meal. Unassuming exterior leads to an incredible experience. Contemporary décor and welcoming, professional and attentive staff. Our family of 5 agreed that our meals were all top 5 ever. The innovative menu offers everything you could want at reasonable prices and generous portions. The balance of delicate flavors was well executed. We had food allergies that were expertly accommodated and made us all feel at ease. Be sure to enjoy all 3 courses because you don’t want to miss out on anything. (Covid restrictions were observed and made us feel completely safe). Thank you, thank you, thank you LVB for a most memorable meal!! Cannot wait to go back!
