VILLON

Great New American food, deep classic cocktail list, varied wine, and VERY attentive service! When you sit down to a coupe glass, rather than a wine glass, you know you should start with a cocktail. Among the 49 options (by BV Hospitality, of Trick Dog), the martini is an elegant (and strong!) option. The Chef’s Menu is a great value ($85 for 6 courses), and there are several flashy options for two that are finished at the table – great for a date night! When I went, this included a disappointingly doughy steamed bun, but also a rich, smokey abalone, asparagus on strong cheese, and sauced duck. The wine menu is also notable – lots of interesting choices by the glass around $20, including less common varietals such as Dolcetto, Vermentino, and even a Croatian wine, to say nothing of the wine pairing! On my visit, as a solo diner, I was also comped two glasses of wine and an extra dessert! There's also afternoon tea, which was popular on a Saturday afternoon. The menu, both food and beverages, is certainly deep enough to warrant repeat visits – a local gem!

This was my first tea experience in America, and it was awesome; prior to this, I had only had tea in London and France so as you can see the expectations were set pretty high. First off, the hotel that Villon is located is gorgeous. Loved the vintage décor, the bar was really nice and the hotel itself was centrally located. The tea experience itself was wonderful. They have it from 2-5pm just outside the restaurant. The tea sandwiches and pastries were delish and of good quality, tea selection was nice and the ambiance a delight, however I would say the only thing that took away from the tea ‘experience’ is that they mixed it with other patrons having just a drink and/or lunch. I would’ve much preferred have all those doing tea in one area bc it just takes away from the ‘tea’ ambiance. Other than that, everything was great. Oh, service was also awesome; everyone was attentive to our needs.

Afternoon tea between 2-5pm Saturday & Sunday is very refreshing! It’s $45 per person and has a full set of sweets with it. The furnishings of the proper hotel are exquisite. 👌🫖

Upstairs rooftop bar is fully booked but hey, this bar turned out to be pretty good! Beautiful bar and good cocktails. Very comfy settings. We had whiskey sour, Champaign, and French fries. Solid! Good for business casual meetings or dates
