what's up at the Village!
has the ownership changed?
did a recent accounting graduate buy the joint?
unlike the HGTV fans, visiting suburbanites and city hip posers, i won't complain about lack of parking, or the wait for service or the eclectic clientele.
i quite love the quirk and the grit.
I am a neighbor, VCU grad from waaay back, and lifelong frequent customer. Often I bring house guests, family and business associates to the Village,
even though I have endured Village ups and downs.
That said, I cannot imagine the most recent owners allowing the Village - or any restaurant they own - to suffer this downturn in service and food.
They KNOW better.
a few older staff are around and still doing a good job.
but, some excellent senior servers haven't been seen for a while. This often suggests new ownership/management.
and where are the fries?!?
the best fries in town have been replaced with wimpy, soggy, run of the mill, fast food potato mush.
WHAT? did you save a few pennies per pound?
portions are smaller, sides look re used, and customers are charged for some items heretofore considered condiments or compliments.
This feels like the behavior of some inexperienced, penny pinching, wanna be restauranteur
NOT seasoned, successful professionals who would realize these are penny wise, pound foolish mistakes.
Buy it back, please!
