   We dined here after a fabulous night at Filoli. This restaurant is a gem in Woodside! We loved the beet and Ceasar salads, as well as the Chicken and dumplings and the burger. Fantastic service, too. Highly recommend this spot!

   Been to this restaurant many times bc of convenience, but it hasn’t been my favorite bc service is typically slow and the quality of the food inconsistent for the price, but last night everything was great, the service, the timeliness of the food arrival and the overall quality of the dishes were great. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, whatever the VB team did last night keep it going, and I’ll visit more often.

   We have come to really enjoy our dining experiences at the Village Bakery and Cafe. The food is varied and delicious. The soup last night, cauliflower cream soup, was extraordinary! So many wines to choose from. Our server was very accommodating.

   The restroom situation needs to be addressed. Suggest converting restrooms into gender neutral, and that will solve the wait for all.

   This is a favorite restaurant from bar seating for two to a special family dinner with children. The restaurant goes out of their way to accommodate and make the event special. Wait staff is excellent, attentive without being intrusive. And the food is thoughtfully prepared and presented. Great cocktails and wine list. Great value, ambiance and experience.
