Village Taverna

Personal favorite for Greek food. Service is quick and food is absolutely delicious. Their veggie and seafood dishes always hit the spot and I'm personally a huge fan of their moussaka and white fishes. Great experience every time! Also, the vibes on the weekend are absolutely great.

First of all I came here because my mom was craving Greek food. The ambience is cute but the service was terrible I think because we were hispanic. The waitress was giving me odd looks like not welcoming, I brushed it off and moved on then she sent another waitress to take our order. We ordered the Mixed Grill and a hummus and an eggplant spread and two glasses of Chardonnay one Californian and one Greek . When the wine arrived it was not cold at all more like room temperature. And my mom didn't really like her wine but nobody ever came back to check if we were happy with our beverages I think that's the standard. Then our food arrived and they literally crowded the table of food and the table was tiny, instead of adding another table because not even our plates fit but whatever. We ate and we poured our own sparkling water because nobody ever came back we never got serviced. My mom wanted a salad and we couldn't order it because nobody came back. There was a male server with salt and pepper hair he sat on top the table across our table with his arms folded staring straight at us was very uncomfortable for us. He never asked us if we needed anything. When the waitress came back after we finished our meal and we did not enjoyed it ask us if we needed another glass of wine I asked for the check and I complained to her that we never got serviced and we were ignored she said sorry but never brought the manager over. The other tables were getting good service because they were not hispanic. The male service when we left gave us dirty looks. This was a terrible service and experience do not recommended it at all.

The perfect post-workout meal given the generous amount of protein served The small size salads are big, so I can only imagine the larger ones. I tried the Dakos to get out of my comfort zone but I would suggest the village salad or other chopped ones on the menu. Price range is favorable in comparison to other mediterranean restaurants in the city, the staff is friendly and owner was present, and twas a clean environment and bathroom. I've been meaning to try Village Taverna out for a while and am glad I waited to dine in rather than having my first experience be with a takeaway order. Worth a visit if you're by Union Square!

Such a cute and cozy spot with nice decor to make the Greek family fun restaurant experience authentic. We had a nice bottle of red with our meal and started with delicious appetizers. The halloumi cheese, veggie chips, octopus, and pita bread with olive oil were all so tasty and decadent. We also shared a village salad with shrimp, which was fresh and delicious.

The mousaka was very good and the pastichio was good too. Service for our very large party was spotty though. There were too few servers and a number of misses as a result. The outdoor eating set up looked looked inviting.

Very good food at affordable prices. Entrees are very good portions!

Love the seafood and veggie chips as well meatballs, lamb. Reserve a table for indoors on Saturday: service wonderful too. Would return !

This was me stepping out of my comfort zone, I've never tried Mediterranean food. I won't say that it was nasty, I will just say the flavors were new to me. I order a steak skewer with rice and salad. My friends enjoyed their meals (they've had Mediterranean before.

I wouldn't personally try this spot again, but it was very well put together. The decor and seating was perfect. Very nice place. Can be a bit pricey, so have a wallet handy lol.

The staff was friendly. We say outside and it was such a nice lunch vibe. Try them out!

We came here for brunch during the holidays before checking out the Union square holiday markets. Our pup was able to dine with us in one of the covered outdoor cabins which was heated and a little snug for a party of 4. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees for the table to share. The portions were large and perfect for all of us to share! The service a bit slow, and it was probably because we were the only table dining outside! Overall would recommend Village Taverna to try some Greek food in the Union Square area!

Had lunch here while in NYC. Great experience! Decor is lovely- decorated for the holidays which made it even nicer. The server was friendly and gave us great recommendations. The food was great and the portions are large! Definitely will go again.

This amazing restaurant is located in union square and has both indoor and outdoor seating. My sister called 20 minutes before we went and they reserved us a table outside. The outside area is beautiful and the heater kept us warm on a cold night.

Thinking about this dinner, makes my mouth water. The service was impeccable from the matre D to our waiter and the bus boy. I was really impressed. So attentive, constantly filling our water. Made sure there was no sesame in anything he brought out due to my recent allergy. He even kept checking on us to make sure we were warm enough.

Now for the dinner. My sister and I shared the PSITO MANOURI which was manouri cheese with honey on top. It was so delicious. The waiter also brought us pita to accompany it. My sister recommended the best salad. It was a Greek chopped salad. The waiter was really amazing with modifying the salad. I just removed the red onions and my sister removed the green peppers. We both got gyro on top. Honestly, one of the best salads I have ever had. I can't wait to come back.
