We had to go up to the bar to get a drink. When we got the check, we realized why. We were a party of six and it’s an automatic gratuity so he didn’t care what his service was like he knew he’d get 20% anyway. It’s a shame because the food is good and we’ve enjoyed this place before. I won’t be going back.

I haven’t been to The Little Village in quite awhile and won’t be going back. Three of the four entrees were sent back as they weren’t even warm. The fourth was a salad so it was acceptable although the grilled shrimp were overcooked. The Veal Marsala was absolutely the worst we’ve ever had—the sauce was horrible and the veal was tough. The lasagna was passable but not even half of it was eaten. The veal Parmesan was acceptable after being sent back to reheat. The Little Village loaf bread was outstanding as it was before. Our young server was attentive and very accomodating. In hindsight, we should have ordered what she said were her favorites. Just not what it once was—-sad.

Our kids loved the brownie dessert. Our waiter was attentive even though they were packed. Noise level was high. Overall good place to eat.
