Our waitress Mia was friendly and helpful. The food was great and they had live music which was very enjoyable.

Casual ambience delicious food wonderful waiter and hostess. Have been 4 tumesbin the past year!

Best service in New Jersey! These guys have the right attitude. Ambience simple but elegant. Location perfect. Drinks were not skimpy.

Have not been here in a while and friends came in from out of state and we gave options for dinner and they selected DH. We started with a great waitress katie. 3 of us ordered the short rib barley soup, it came out lukewarm and we had to send it back. good not great. very disappointing on such a cold night, was slight hotter but not hot. 2 of us ordered the wok salmon which was amazing and recommmended by katie. delish!!!! great recommendation. One of us ordered the tuscan shrimp pasta with the pistachio cream also delish and she loved every bite. The fluke was a special that my friend ordered who is a fish lover and a real foodie. It was just not good, definitely not delicious. Very disappointed, would never order again. We all ordered coffee and a a great special dessert, The Cookie Bomb. amazing. Katie made the experience exceptional.

Give the Village Hall another try!! I'm a SOMA resident and have been to the Village Hall a handful of times, each time a little disappointed by some aspect of the experience. But after last night, I can honestly say I was happily impressed. After some subtle and not-so-subtle changes, I think they have finally gotten it right. It was a Friday night. They had a tasteful jazz trio playing. Not too distracting for conversation, but also not just bland background music; they were very good. Acoustics are amazing! They've made tasteful changes to the main dining space making it much cozier. Among them: a new seating arrangement with a long, leather seating unit that divides the space nicely (before it was just a huge, open space with sparse tables and chairs and it just didn't work); they painted the ceiling a ruby red, which, combined with the dark-blue leather seating/booths, made it feel super inviting. Combine that with the features that were already in place and I just loved being there. For the meal, I started out with a drink on the specials list (Winter Spritz with fig and mint). For the app, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp and then the Short Rib Pappardelle pasta as my main. Both were bursting with flavor, complex, and absolutely delicious. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce made it one the better pasta dishes I've had anywhere for quite some time. I will definitely be making a trip back soon specifically for that order. (SUGGESTION: My only suggestion is to forgo the smaller app plates for something larger. Not to get more food, but to allow for more space so that when you scoop portions it doesn't fall off the edges of the plate.) The service was never rushed but efficient and polite from beginning to end. We are often quick to discount local restaurants or give up on them after one bad experience. I would encourage everyone to give VH another try. After my experience last night, I will 100% be going back for more.
