Reviews
Was shocked by the quality of the food here and so pleased. After a long trip/travel day sometimes all I crave is a nice hardy breakfast and I got it here! Best part is I didn’t have to go looking for it. It was right in my lobby.
Thank you to the wonderful servers that provided incredible service and gave me some time and space while I worked. Such a wonderful spot to go to for brunch if you’re in the area or someone is visiting.
When you sit down to a coupe glass, rather than a wine glass, you know you should start with a cocktail. Among the 49 options (by BV Hospitality, of Trick Dog), the martini is an elegant (and strong!) option.
The Chef’s Menu is a great value ($85 for 6 courses), and there are several flashy options for two that are finished at the table – great for a date night!
When I went, this included a disappointingly doughy steamed bun, but also a rich, smokey abalone, asparagus on strong cheese, and sauced duck.
The wine menu is also notable – lots of interesting choices by the glass around $20, including less common varietals such as Dolcetto, Vermentino, and even a Croatian wine, to say nothing of the wine pairing!
On my visit, as a solo diner, I was also comped two glasses of wine and an extra dessert!
There’s also afternoon tea, which was popular on a Saturday afternoon.
The menu, both food and beverages, is certainly deep enough to warrant repeat visits – a local gem!
First off, the hotel that Villon is located is gorgeous. Loved the vintage décor, the bar was really nice and the hotel itself was centrally located.
The tea experience itself was wonderful. They have it from 2-5pm just outside the restaurant. The tea sandwiches and pastries were delish and of good quality, tea selection was nice and the ambiance a delight, however I would say the only thing that took away from the tea ‘experience’ is that they mixed it with other patrons having just a drink and/or lunch. I would’ve much preferred have all those doing tea in one area bc it just takes away from the ‘tea’ ambiance. Other than that, everything was great. Oh, service was also awesome; everyone was attentive to our needs.
For teas, we selected the Aged White Peony (a pleasant white tea) and Chai Assam. The Chai Assam was unfortunately completely undrinkable due to its high concentration of black pepper. They did not initially provide any milk, cream, or sugar, however, even after requesting and adding cream, the tea did not improve. After calling over the waitstaff again, we were quickly able to replace it with the Golden Horse, which was excellent! Also great to have a tea strainer to catch any errant tea leaves.
We received 4 sandwiches, a scone, cream puff, Madeleine, snowball, apple cinnamon donut hole, macaron, and rainbow cake. The salmon sandwich was our favorite along with the cream puff and rainbow cake.
Lovely ambiance and beautiful decor throughout. Waitstaff were friendly and came by frequently to refill water for our tea. Unfortunately, the hotel’s in a bit of a rough neighborhood, so I’d recommend parking in a secured parking garage or using Uber/Lyft.
We’d also been hoping to visit their rooftop bar, Charmaine’s, as walk-ins to avoid their non-refundable reservation fee. I’d been pre-pandemic and really enjoyed their drinks and view. Unfortunately we waited in line for about 30 minutes as the 4th or 5th group in line, confirmed with the staff at the front twice that we were there as walk-ins, and then were told when we reached the front that they were not accepting walk-ins. So you’ll need to shell out the $5/person reservation fee if you’d like to visit on the weekend.
