Boynton Beach (along Congress Avenue) has gone through a redevelopment over the past couple of years -- and it's now a happening destination. The Village Tavern is illustrative of the new business that call Boynton Beach home.
I was fortunate to have a 'tastecasting' dinner last evening with 5 other South FL foodies so between all of us at the table, we got a real taste and appreciation of what the kitchen offers.
Appetizers run the gamut of Asian-inspired items like Ahi Tuna Sashimi to a delicious whole wheat Margherita flatbread pizza to our favorite, the bowl of Prince Edward Island mussels in a garlic, shallot and pesto broth.
Another standout was the Spinach Salad which surprised with bacon, green apples, cranberries, blue cheese, spiced pecans + apple muffin! It was delicious.
Entrees around the table were Grouper, Steak Au Poivre, Lamb Rib Chops, Short Ribs, Scallops and a vegetarian Spaghetti Squash and Zucchini. All were served with appropriate sides.
Village Tavern has a nice dessert menu BUT I urge you to order the Banana Crepes which were spectacular in presentations and taste (crepes, nutella, banana ice cream, caramel + chocolate sauces with chocolate covered expresso beans). Wow - definitely a table share type dessert.
VT is large, attractively decorated restaurant with a separate bar area which contains high tops, large bar and booths for dining. There are also tables outside.
The menu offers 60 varieties of wine. There is a wine for every taste and every wallet.
