My Little Village Review

I went to The Little Village this weekend for the first time in over a year. My wife and I used to love this place at the old location with the slanted floor, but we've only been once to the new location. I was shocked at how much this place had gone downhill.

Drinks - we went at 7:30 on Friday and my wife ordered a glass of Pinot noir from the menu and they were out of it. She tried to order a different one and they were out of that too. Third time was a charm and she settled on some more expensive glass she'd never heard of. I asked for an old fashioned and asked if they had rye, and the waitress looked at me like I was insane. She went to the bar and the bartender said they didn't, but they made my drink with Knob Creek which was fine. I should have ordered something else because this was a really bad cocktail and not a great start.

We started with an order of the Village bread, which was tasty as usual but not spectacular. We both got the sensation salads which were pretty good, but nothing great. Wife got the eggplant Parmesan which looked almost like lasagna, with overcooked spaghetti on the side. I got the fish almondine (which is tilapia unless you request something different), I requested the snapper. It was very, very good. My side of broccoli was nothing special....that's what I get to trying to eat healthier.

The service was pretty bad. Our waitress seemed like someone who should be working at Applebee's. The other servers did not look much better.

All in all, I feel like this place has gone downhill since the last time I went there, and I don't think I will be going back soon. I know it was never the best place in the world, and I wasn't expecting it to be. But for the prices they charge and the image they are trying to uphold as a pretty nice restaurant, this one really missed the mark.

What does everyone else think of this place?
