We do not come here often, but each time we do it is a great experience and excellent meal. Â The steaks are consistently top rate! Â Our table of eight very much enjoyed various appetizers, salads and entrees, and the snow bears for dessert are always a treat. Â Our waiter was warm, responsive and very knowledgeable.
Review Source:Food was very good and the server was extremely knowledgeable. We never actually recieved a menu instead the whole thing was read out by memory which was pretty cool, however when i got the bill was surprised at the price. I have lived in Vegas for 8 years and have eaten at the some of the best places so for me to be surprised it had to be pretty high...lol. Overall experience was very good though
Review Source:AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Â I hate to write very negative reviews...but this place warrants it. Â I've never experienced such rude service and poor, dismissive, treatment at a restaurant. Â Anybody who does not live in Shreveport--this place is a mess.
The restaurant is situated in a bad area. Â It's essentially a dressed up road house. Â There is nothing nearby - it's in a residential area off of a highway. Â And it's definitely not a good area.
You drive by and you'll notice it because of it's cheesy neon signs. Â See the "Valet" sign, but there's no valet. Â The Valet is sitting inside the restaurant and when you drive in, he won't come out and get your car. Â So you'll just have to park in one of the beaten up parking lots near the restaurant, which is actually a parking lot for a nearby restaurant.
I walked in and was greeted by a nose pierced high school kid. Â Granted, I was wearing jeans and a coat - and that apparently warranted being treated like trash for the rest of the evening. Â Apparently, this place is Shreveport Chic (think faux fur, bras straps hanging out, male ponytails, hairspray, Mullets, and Miami Vice pastel color eye shadow). Â Yea, I don't fit in...I come from civilization.
I sat at the bar and waited for fifteen minutes before anybody came by and asked for a drink order. Â The bartender never even acknowledged that I was sitting there...despite the fact that it was an empty bar (on Valentine's Day). Â Then when he decided to approach that side of the bar, he served the couple that came ten minutes after me (because they were apparently more appropriately dressed for Shreveport). Â I ask for a drink and a menu.
They don't have menus. Â It's a presentation menu...think "Mortons circa 1980's." Â The only exception is the presentation here is a plastic "silver" platter with sample wet raw meat on it. Â There are a hundred sides - which they recite in a minute so you can't actually grasp all of the sides. Â Is a menu really that bad?
This poor treatment wasn't just for me, I noticed they two couples sitting next to me who couldn't get service, got a pina colada instead of a chardonnay, and another couple in a corner who sat for 45 minutes who were just ignored because they were a young couple. Â
This is a place that would be out of business in many areas of the country. Â Shreveport...get real - you shouldn't be fine with being treated like a second class citizen for some mediocre (and yes, it's nothing more than mediocre) food (8 oz. filet, mushrooms killed with onions, and some watery mashed potatoes).
The first thing that turned me off was how our waitress had absolutely no wine presentation skills. Wine knowledge is one thing, which some people are keen than others, no biggie to me. But for the nice wine list that they were offering, and for the $70 i paid for one, I would expect a restaurant, thats been open since 1988, to have their waiters know how to serve wine. Â Once i ordered, it was awkwardly opened, and then she immediately poured my wife first, a full glass.....then me, a full glass....lol. Seriously? So i cant even taste the wine first? Cmon guys...this is wine presentation 101. It made them look really unprofessional.
Impressively, the whole menu was memorized and recited from the waitress. Food was mediocre to pretty good, my steak was cooked perfectly, and was the highlight of my evening. Their entree's are mainly meats that are presented on a cart to the table. I think there were only 3 choices for people who didnt eat meat. salads were fresh but couldve been served colder. and appetizers were med to large portion sizes. Shrimp apt was pretty good, the fried artichoke hearts not so much; too much sauce on the plate took over the flavor and kinda drowned them.
The decor inside was perfect for a couple. Very dark, romantic, small dining room, and a single spot light over each table. Very nice.
Outstanding! Â Truly a 5 star restaurant. Â Sampled multiple appetizers (oysters, shrimp & artichoke hearts)...all sensational. Â Then indulged on an excellent blue cheese wedge, followed by the finest veal (on the bone) I have ever had, and finished it off with an outrageously good pecan pie. Â This restaurant was truly fantastic. Â The service was top notch (Brittany was an outsanding waitress) and their scotch and wine were great. Â Love this place and look forward to returning. Â A complete surprise! Â Thank you Village Grille!
Review Source:The Village Grille absolutely has the best chef in Shreveport. The first thing my boyfriend and I said after eating here the first time was that the meal rivaled if not completely defeated some of the best meals we'd had in New York and San Francisco. The ambiance is something else; very intimate and dark.
The servers' knowledge of their food as well as the wine list is exceptional. I have absolutely never had bad service, they remember our names, they remember our preferences, and beside that, the food always comes out exactly as they describe. It is a verbal menu, and the meat entrees are presented to you, plastic wrapped, and on a platter so you actually see the cut and quality of the meat.
The proprietor of this place hit quite a home run with it, and frankly, I'm surprised more I talk to haven't been. It is definitely pricey, but completely worth it.
