I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!

Consistently spectacular. What an amazingly creative chef, consistently incredible service and the host make sure every detail is taken care of flawlessly
We are regulars and love how the menu changes and new exciting specials show up all the time. Everything is amazing but we do have favorites in particular The Crepe appetizers and the Jagerschnitzel and whatever duck creation they do. If you haven’t come here yet I don’t know what you’re waiting for

TLDR: “Fine dining” imposter serving confused, metallic-tasting, low-quality food in a neglected space with broken restrooms.
The Menu & Value
The “Tasting Menu” ($65) is misleading since it’s essentially a standard prix-fixe sampler of the main menu (they just have smaller versions of existing menu items) and NOT a curated menu like you’d usually expect. This highlights the menu’s lack of focus, which jumps disjointedly from Tuna Sashimi Tiradito and Duck Meatball Carbonara to Organic Chicken Jagerschnitzel. It feels like a collection of buzzwords rather than a chef’s vision.
Food Quality
The execution did not match the premium price point. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel ($38), and the quality was unacceptable. The breading lacked crunch, and the meat was incredibly tough, with silver skin still connecting the pieces that suggests it wasn’t properly butchered. Worse, the dish had a distinct metallic aftertaste that forced me to stop eating after just two bites. The final nail in the coffin was when I had enough and put in a DoorDash order… while still at the restaurant.
Atmosphere & Facilities
The attention to detail expected at this price point was missing. The music playlist was jarring, shifting randomly between Bridgerton-style pop covers and EDM. The facilities were also neglected as the bathroom felt like a haphazardly converted storage closet with a broken toilet paper holder.

Had our anniversary dinner there last night and everything was perfection, as usual. We’ve come here many times over the years and it’s about time we left a review because this place deserves all the stars. Never had a bad meal or service and there’s something to be said about consistency. Thanks for ending our anniversary celebration on a high note. See you soon!

Love the duck. So juicy and flavorful.
Tuna tartar is very fresh and full of flavor.
Pork chop is great as well. But wishing the bread should served warm not cold

Went for the fall menu and loved everything we tried. The chanterelle mushroom risotto was so rich and fresh. Our waiter was friendly, patient and made sure we were taken care of the whole dinner. Will definitely be back.

Every time I visit The Village Green I leave feeling so full and happy that I am already planning my next visit by the time I get into my car. Nestled on a side street across from a church in Ridgewood, NJ, this cute restaurant has me dreaming about it’s food long after I have left. If you are up for a food marathon, they offer a tasting menu that will have you rolling out of the restaurant by the time you are finished. If you do not want to commit to all that, the ala carte menu and daily specials are always amazing, the short rib and various house made pastas especially stick out. The staff is not only exceptionally well trained to create a seamless dining experience, but they are incredibly friendly and personable which adds that extra zest to an enjoyable night out. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, whether it be for a special occasion, date night, or even a meal to go, The Village Green has driven the culinary arts to a new precipice.

Superb service, excellent food. Our server Bob was ultra professional. Appetizer + Main was about $120 for 2 so on the expensive side but we’ll worth it if you want to fine dine. Book reservation before you go.
