Best Authentic Restaurants in The Village / Rio / Armstrong

The experience is what you are paying for. The food was hot and expertly prepared. My favorites were the pimento cheese starter and the fillet, mashed potato and the vegetable mix served with the flounder. Service is excellent. The servings sizes were great. This many courses was a lot for me, I couldn't finish each plate in order to save room for the next. By dessert I was stuffed full. I cannot imagine eating all of this and drinking wine and coffee. Overall great meal.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The options can seem overwhelming at first, but the server did a great job of talking us through the options. Started with oysters and martinis, then entrees and a bottle of champagne. Coffee and dessert to finish. Everything was great and the atmosphere/vibe were awesome. Highly recommend. Will definitely go back again.

Here’s a sample review you can use or adapt: We had an absolutely delightful experience at the Pirates House! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of unique and comfort. The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The fried green tomatoes as appetizer and the pecan fried chicken were absolute standouts. You can tell the chef puts great care and thought into the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable experience. ♥️

Service and food was exceptional. We came for lunch and the service we received and the food we ate were both absolutely incredible. This was our best meal of our weekend trip and we are incredibly thankful to the staff.

We have dined here several times and always had a great experience. It’s one of the few places that allows a reservation for a large party without having to reserve a special room/menu etc. We had a table for 16 on this occasion. Service is excellent, we never have to wait for anything! The food is always good and drinks are great and well priced. Troy is perfect for a casual lunch, romantic dinner, or a small party/celebration!
