The Little Village - Baton Rouge

Fantastic eating. great experience! this place checks all boxes.

We decided to eat here before the comedy show we visited in the river center.

This review refers to the city of 3rd street location. I hate to be negatiw, especially if the personal is so friendly and professional. the atmosphere and the ambiente is great and the restaurant is immaculate. everything that is said all the way is not great to eat. my wife and I were here three times, for the first time we drank too much and thought we were not sure. the second time we didn't drink so much, but were still doubtful. after our third visit, he can't be just us anymore. at our last visit we noticed a taste that was in almost everything we ordered. from the filled mushrooms to the lobster bisque to the ribeye (which was among the worst I ever was, although it was cooked to a perfect medium rare) everything seemed with a floral citrus flavor that seemed intentionally, but was gone to say the least. we tasted the same at our previous visit with the house special fishing of the day. there are some things that are amazing. the brote and accompanying sides are more than worth the cocktails are all well made and tasty, the salads and house dressing is great, and 2 of the three gloomy that we had were amazing (bread pudding and caramel custard.) it seems only that for us the escaped and appetizing not hit the mark, especially when you look at the price of one night out here. both my wife and I are from deep in the service industry and hate to complain, especially when the restaurant is busy, but three times is a trend.

Our food was amazing but our experience was not. We looked very carefully for a place to spend our anniversary and this place let us down. I don’t know if it was because we were a younger couple or they forgot to ask us but asked everyone else around us “are we celebrating anything special”. We did not come here to get free things but would have like to been asked if we were celebrating something special and treated as if we were more than just kids. If you are younger and celebrating something special I don’t recommend coming here as the older customers seem to be more important. The food was very good though.

A nice little restaurant in downtown Baton Rouge. The staff was very pleasant and the food overall enjoyable. Quite a popular location so best to get a reservation. While the food was good and nothing came out that I didn't eat every last bite, I cannot say that any but of what I had was over-the-top delicious. Between this and the fact the place felt quite crowded (lots of tables in a small space) I cannot give 5-stars, but I would eat here again for sure.
