Village Inn - Caledonia

My teenage daughter said we would need a wheelbarrow to roll out of this restaurant! We were grateful to have made a reservation beforehand. Although it was quiet at 4pm, the restaurant quickly filled up. Our server, Michaela, was exceptional - attentive but not intrusive. We had no complaints about any of the meals or desserts. The ambiance was lovely, with a clean interior and well-maintained bathrooms. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then enjoy the 11,000 from the photos! We will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I haven't been here in about 10 years but I will definitely be back sooner next time. It's a beautifully maintained old building with great food and service. They have a somewhat limited menu of about 10 entrees, but there is good variety and they are all quite well done. Everything is fresh, house made and house butchered and it comes through in the quality of their food. Prices are a bit above moderate; entrees range in price from about $24 to about $40 but what you get is well worth the price. I don't know if reservations are required, but they are highly recommended.

We had an excellent dinner here! Ordered appetizers, but we were pleasantly surprised to have delicious bread brought to the table as well. We went casual sandwiches for dinner, but would definitely come back to try more. Overall, a really nice experience. Loved the surprise cookies, icing was a little too much for us, but someone with a seriously sweet tooth would have had a day.

This place is great, Food is awesome never had anything bad here, Service is awesome too. You want good food service come here and the price is good. Lisa the owner comes around to every table asking if your food was good if it wasn't I would not believe it but if some odd reason it wasn't good she would make it right. Husband I come here at least three to four times a year is always happy. Amy A

This is an old school place, in most of the best ways. It's a lovely room, all weathered wood and small town charm, a place that hasn't changed in decades, and that's how everyone likes it. This is the kind of restaurant my in-laws are OK with, because even though the prices have crept up with inflation, they still start you with a nice loaf of bread, and your dinner comes with soup or salad (meaning, you don't need to order appetizers unless you need a massive amount of food). Civilized. The main dishes were probably very simple once, and now have been gussied up a bit for the 2020s; my Strip and Rings is still a nice cut of meat, cooked properly, with onion rings, but now it comes with a bacon tomato marmalade and a nice dippings sauce for the rings. However, as I'm sure it did in the 80s, it also comes with some steamed veggies (the same ones that come with everything). My wife's salmon was nothing to write home about, but it was also a solid portion, and a decent value. I would go steak over seafood here every time, however, and the waitress instantly concurred with that when I asked her to pick between the Ahi Tuna and the strip. We started with martinis, and we flagged down the waitstaff for a second round, they immediately assumed we just wanted boxes to pack up the rest of our meals. I think it was less that they were ready to kick us out (although I don't like me much either), and more that their typical clientele doesn't have more than one martini on a Wednesday, because they are heading home early to watch Murder She Wrote reruns. And to be fair, Murder She Wrote rules. All in all, I like it.
