Ricalton’s Village Tavern
If you’ve been to RVT recently, you may have noticed a change in personnel. The change has been sparked by an entirely new way of thinking when it comes to your dining experience. This new philosophy has been introduced by our brand new management staff.
As of July 2016, our owner Tom McLaughlin decided it was high time to shake up the culture and footprint of RVT. With that in mind, he decided to bring in former NICO Kitchen + Bar (NJPAC) General Manager, Christopher Keys, as well as former Assistant Manager Leah Coston. Between the two they have 25+ years of experience, having worked their way up the proverbial restaurant food chain.
The transformation would not be complete, if we weren’t offering you a higher quality of food, made with the best ingredients from local sources. So to complete the total transformation of RVTs, we’ve brought in former 77 Walnut (Montclair) and NICO’s chef Alfredo Gonzalez to round out our team. While only 24 years of age, Alfredo has excelled in every aspect of the culinary world — earning his position here at RVT, as our new Executive Chef.
Now, with all the introductions out of the way, we get to the part that matters to you: the food. As of October 24, we will be unveiling an entirely new Fall and Winter Menu. With locally sourced meats, veggies and a wide array of new signatures cocktails we firmly believe these changes will have an everlasting impact, on your experience here at RVT.
We hope to see you soon!
