    We love the Village Pub. We are loyal guests coming for 15 years. And though we moved away, we make sure we have dinner here whenever we get back to the bay. Dinner and service last night was top notch again. The duck was phenomenal and so was the truffle stuffed chicken. Followed by the always delicious chocolate soufflé and the beignets. Can’t wait to come back

    We got a seat at the bar ordered cocktails and small dishes. Everything was uniformly excellent. The barkeeper was knowledgeable and made a beautifully balanced Manhattan. The small dishes recommonded were all tasty and of high quality. Overall the only reason to dock a star is that Nobu is expensive (big surprise). But if you are not cost sensitive, then this is an excellent place for high quality drinks and light dishes. Recommended.

    Got my parent's a reservation to Sundance for my dad's birthday, prime rib is his favorite meal and sundance NEVER disappoints. They had an incredible time, said the steak was cooked perfectly and said the ambiance was wonderful. As chicago transplants we take our beef very seriously and are so grateful for this staple in celebrating our family's important occasions. Thanks again for a great experience.

    Seated immediately. Great service. Love the ancient grains bowl. It’s always a little noisey.
