"Best Clam Chowder 2008"

"If there is a golden-standard for fried clams, the Village's fare is it..."

"North Shore's best seafood restaurant for eleven consecutive years"

- Essex County Newspapers Reader's Poll

From the humblest of beginnings in 1956, to it’s present day stature as one of the nation’s finest seafood restaurants, The Village Restaurant has for nearly 50 years embodied the spirit that is New England -- the food, the flavor, the hospitality.

Gourmet Magazine, Saveur, and the Boston Globe have all sung our praises, but a true Yankee follows his own mind and making new friends is our favorite pastime. Thus, we invite you to join our family for what we believe to be the best the North Shore has to offer.

Whether you are a seafood lover, a vegetarian in search of an oversized salad or a carnivore on a quest for the perfect sirloin, we pledge that all of your whims and fancies will be attended to at an affordable price in an atmosphere that is both friendly and casual.
