However, the warm and congenial setting is not the only facet that makes this establishment a success. Jon Large, proprietor, is constantly looking at ways to improve upon the menu while, at the same time, leaving the successful, tried-and-true dishes alone. It is a balancing act. The creative energy that emerges from Jon, and spills o... Full story

Another film closing out 2016 was "Fences", an extremely creative, edgy and multi layered family drama – filled with a heavenly performance by Viola Davis, as well as her supporting cast (Denzel Washington, his sons and close friend). With somewhat overly simple cinematography (as the film mimicked the Broadway play), this film went round after round tackling many angles of human nature – its frailty, flaws, hopes and dreams (some elusive). Focused on raising a family in a "blue collar" Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania setting – i...

Elizabeth Youngman Westphal Special to the Village News Note to the reader: This is not a review – it is a recommendation. There are only three performances and in an effort to support local theatre, it was necessary to attend a rehearsal. I observed the second act run-through, and the rehearsal was delightful. MGM released “Singin' in the Rain” in 1952, and since then it has been applauded as one of the best musicals of all times. Filled with song and strong tap danci...

Ian Murdock Special to The Village News Manchester by the Sea was among a few films that peaked my interest as 2016 came to a close. While I'm a tremendous fan of Casey Affleck, I am still trying to reconcile how the story of Manchester was completely mangled. With more family loss than anyone could fathom or seemingly endure, this film ought to have been one of the most emotional and moving stories in recent years. Instead, it seems the writer felt that scene after scene of... Full story
FALLBROOK – Parents know taking kids out to eat requires patience. The sights and sounds of a restaurant can be overwhelming and distracting to children used to eating at home.
