The Village Inn

Surprisingly good food. Braised Short Rib was really good. It was tender and perfect with the hot mashed potatoes. The short rib sauce complemented the meat. Service was ok.

Very unprofessional and rude. The hostess is extremely ill mannered and when I asked her if she could grab my sever for me she responded, " I'm doing something.."Learn how to serve a customer.

Huge. Fresh. Delicious. Home made dressing! Sooo good. Had the Wedge chopped. Cocktails are good too. Usually get nachos but decided to do a salad. So glad I did.

Had a great evening at the Village Inn with my family. Perfect way to end a day at the beach. The food was excellent! The Blue Burger was incredible, and the BBQ Chicken Salad was just as good. Also the clam chowder is perfect! They said they make it fresh every morning. The place was spotless, and the bar had a great vibe. Huge shoutout to Jonah for making some amazing drinks and to our server, Liz, for taking such great care of us. Thanks to the whole Village Inn team for a fantastic experience!

Dined here the other day and had a overall fantastic experience. The restaurant was clean and the ambience was cozy. We got fantastic service from our waiter, Billy who really made us feel special and gave us super attentive and personalized service. The food was decent, and the drinks were strong! My favorite kind of restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

I recently dined at Village Inn in Balboa Island and had the pleasure of trying their braised beef ribs, which were absolutely delightful. The beef was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the rich cabernet glaze and crispy onion strings. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and paired wonderfully with the asparagus, adding a nice touch of freshness to the dish.While the food was certainly a highlight, what made the experience memorable was the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The warm, beach rustic decor and friendly staff made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. However, I'm giving a 4/5 star rating because the service, though friendly, was a bit slower than expected. Despite this, it was a lovely evening overall, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their offerings!

Dined here for the first time last Sunday, after a day at the beach. This place is very welcoming and has great hospitality. The food was so delicious. My server, Trinity, recommended the flank steak salad and tuscan chicken which me & my husband loved ! I recommend getting the balboa buzz. Definitely will get you a buzz haha (: We will definitely be coming back for more!

I had a dinner there tonight and the food was fantastic, drinks were strong and our sever trinity was very attentive and lovely! Would definitely come back again!!

We went on the suggestion of a family member who lives in the area. It wasn't a super busy spot, but it was SUPER loud inside. The menu had some interesting options, so we opted for sharing among the family so we got to try a little of each thing. The food was ok- nothing fantastic, nothing out of the ordinary....just ok. The margartia was ok, the wine was ok....do you sense a theme? The shirley temples that my kids got were EIGHT DOLLARS a piece and didn't come with any cherries. That is absolutely ridiculous- zero stars for that. But overall...ok.

I just had a great time at the Village Inn! Billy, our server, was awesome - super friendly and on top of everything. I tried the jalapeño poppers, and man, they were spicy and delicious! I also loved the short grilled cheese sandwich. If you're ever in the area, definitely give it a shot. You won't be disappointed!
