    We have spent summers at the beach since the sixties. We always stopped in at the Village Inn as kids, through our college years and now bringing our grandchildren here.

    Our server was absolutely amazing! I cannot remember his name, but he was so attentive to our table and really took good care of our 7 year old grandson as we sat outside last night. We always enjoy our meals at the Village Inn!
