    We thoroughly enjoyed the South Village Grille. It is quaint, nicely decorated, and the service was outstanding. The food was delicious! We took advantage of Happy Hour with the well-priced cocktails, wines and appetizers. The meatballs are phenomenal! We finished dinner with a plate of beignets which were delicious! We will come back again!

    SÚPER DISAPPOINTED that they changed the menu and basically went from an array of sushi choices to just a few options. I had looked forward to the "Joe vs the Volcano" sushi only to find out it was no longer available...many more sushi options cut from menu...i always liked taking friends here because of the many sushi options, but now this place has just become like others...SAD!! I REALLY HOPE management reconsiders bringing at least some of the more popular choices!!

    We love the South Village Grille! It's so warm and inviting and I love how the entire staff acknowledges you. I felt like a Malbec before dinner; of course, they had it. I had the Carbonara and it was a delicious and manageable portion. My sister had the fish sandwich, without the bun. Yes, they accommodated her. The night was made truly pleasant by our server, Sarah. Thank you for being so attentive, friendly, and on the ball.

    It may look like a neighborhood bar, but it’s so much more. That was the reaction when we brought our pre-theater group of eight to dinner here. Everyone was impressed by the variety of menu offerings, the presentation of our diverse selections and the savory, flavor-packed entrees we each enjoyed. The lively environment and terrific service rounded out a great experience for everyone. I expect there will be an encore before our next show.
