   Reading these reviews the place did not look like it was very good. We went to dinner got in and within a few minutes was seated. We did have to wait a little bit before being served, but our whole party was not there yet. Overall the food was good. I got the strip steak. It was undercooked just a little bit so I would get medium if you prefer medium rare. We also got the new item on the menu which was the duck. The duck was delicious and worth the money. The sauce was to die for and children that normally do not like duck loved it. We also got the salad and the dressing was wonderful. I am not sure if I recommend the bone marrow because I have seen such bad reviews on it being undercooked and way to greasy. We have gone here for brunch before though and the wait was forever with hardly anyone in the restaurant. I would recommend going for dinner. They do dinner fabulous. This review is four stars. Ludivine is more of a hit or miss.

   We were the first couple seated for Mothers Day dinner and they "lost" our order. Couples on either side of us ordered EXACTLY the same entrees (there was a special Mothers' Day only menu) and received them before us. Then couples on either side of them received their orders before us. The person in charge of organizing the kitchen was barking out orders to the kitchen staff, and you could tell that they all thought he was an idiot. The couples at the tables beside us even apologized to us that they finished their complete meals before we even received our entrees.....amazing. Overall, the Ludiwine team (except the idiot) was trying their best, but it was impossible to overcome the person determining the priorities. I think Ludiwine could be a great restaurant if they could eliminate the one person from their staff.

   Inattentive service defined our visit. We did not receive a cocktail menu when seated. Despite being one of the first seatings of the evening, we waited close to ten minutes before our waiter introduced herself and retrieved a menu. She returned to take our food orders before our cocktails arrived, briskly rushing through our starter and entree orders. My young lettuce salad was good and I enjoyed the bread course and steak tartare. Our entrees arrived very quickly and before our second round of drinks. There seemed to be a lack of coordination between the firing of orders and table side service, resulting in the feeling of a rushed meal. The pasta was good though the fettuccine a little chewy. A glass of red was served cold enough to condensate the glass. Though my date didn’t touch the wine, no one made any notice. With only five to six parties, the service was below what I’d expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

   Delicious. We tried their new items. We had lots of delays in seating and service despite the restaurant not being busy. It was pouring rain outside and employees may have been occupied preparing things outdoors to stay safe… but it was unexpected to wait to sit and wait when we had questions or wanted an extra scoop of ice cream for our Brandy ice

   I don't normally write reviews but I think this might be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. They tried, but everything was just bad. The salmon dish was "good" at best, but everything else was about a 2 at best. They need to step it up and quickly or they will not be around very long.

    Pretty disappointed in our service and food last night. There was pretty much no one in the restaurant at all, yet it took forever to get water, little things, etc. The appetizers were great as always and the drinks fantastic- but the pork tenderloin was inedible, genuinely. It was unable to be cut by a knife. It was a beautiful cut of meat and it was so dry and hard. They also told one of our dining members that the fish of the day was a piece of cod- and a piece of salmon covered in butter, not good salmon, came out. The pasta special was fantastic but it was so disappointing. I unfortunately find this restaurant to be incredibly hit or miss which is sad due to cost and innovation of the chef!

    We had an outstanding evening at Ludivine. We started with the steak tartare- some of the finest we have eaten- then had the pan seared Arctic cod which was sensational. For dessert, we enjoyed a slice of the flourless chocolate cake. Ludivine will be in our rotation of restaurants and look forward to our next visit. Hopefully, it will be warm enough to dine on their beautiful patio.

    Disappointing at best. Soup was good, and the rest of the meal was mediocre. Fresh fish dish was served on cold potatoes and the sauce was overly seasoned and almost bitter from too much lemon. Waiter was attentive, but we had to ask for bread and waited forever for it to appear. Not a good experience.

    This spot has potential but needs new leadership. Cute, retro vibe inside. Very eclectic menu. It all went downhill when they seated us at the "chefs kitchen" aka the bar. There's absolutely nothing of interest to see here. This is arguably one of the worst seats in the house. As we sat "watching" them prepare food, I noticed the expeditor not wearing an apron or gloves. Every other person handling food was wearing both. The expeditor, however, was touching his cell phone then touching food. Touching the freezer door and door handle then putting his bare hands in a jar of something and putting it into someone's dish. Wiping his hands on his jeans and then cutting someone's burger in half with his bare hands. Upon coming over and hearing our concerns, she proceeded to essentially make excuses for the lack of sanity food handling procedures. She blamed everything from lack of available staff to him being new and everything in between. She said they ask their food staff to wash their hands every 15 minutes to be safe. Umm...how about you wash them as often as needed to keep your guests safe from cross contamination? In full transparency, her apology included two ginger beer drinks, which we didn't drink. And she offered us a free dessert which we turned down because we didn't want to eat anything else out of that kitchen. We did eat our entrees because the expeditor didn't touch them (we watched). They were good so there is potential here if they could get their food handling safety under control. Ultimately she comped our entire meal. I still felt the need to share this here because other people should be aware of how they handle food before deciding to eat here. And because they didn't seem to really take our concerns seriously (as we were leaving the expeditor still wasn't wearing gloves), it feels like the right thing to do to at least warn others.

    The food was delicious as always and the staff attentive. I did not enjoy the high volume music pumped through the speakers. My husband and I, who were sitting across from each other at the two top table could barely hear the other speak. I did not ask them to adjust it. I wish they would self regulate the music volume to match the ambience of a fine dining establishment.

    The food here was good, but it's definitely more eclectic, so I wouldn't take picky eaters. They have a burger, but they only serve it in the bar even though everyone in the dining room can see them come out of the kitchen. I think that's really silly.

    Food was great as always. Went the day after Valentine’s Day and seemed to only have one person doing all waiting and concierge. He did a good job with everything he was doing but was challenged serving everyone to a high level. Needed more wine for some time.

    For a $125 per person Pre Fix menu, the food was just OK. Definitely won’t do another Pre Fix menu at this place and may not eat here again. After reading reviews from their NYE Pre fix it sounds like the same issues and the restaurant did take any steps to correct it.

    A disappointing experience compared with my last (pre-pandemic) visit in their old location. Food was unimaginative and execution was mediocre. Service was poor (as one example the server forgot to tell us the kitchen was out of certain entrees) prior to ordering. There are other options in OKC that provide a much better fine dining experience in terms of food and service.

    Appetizers were great! We got the soup of the day and vegetable pasta which was amazing. The duck confit was fantastic while the strip sirloin was overdone. Everyone was very kind and noise level increases throughout the night. Expect a larger bill. We will likely come back for a special occasion.

    Went for NYE meal. Was prix fixe which we didn’t know but was ok with. 3 courses and dessert for $125, the portions were more like a tasting menu than a coursed meal. We left starving. The pasta I got was literally 2 noodles. My wine pairing did not come with my meals and I had to consistently ask every time. Food was good, but portions were tiny. For the quality and amount it certainly was not worth the price. Unclear if we will try it again.

    New Year’s Eve dinner. We booked an early table and we’re seated immediately. The music was loud and the greeter seemed unsure how to turn it down. The menu items we selected were from OK to very good. Our server was working hard and paced the meal well, despite some crossed signals from the kitchen. Not the best experience we have had there but we will return.

    I'd really like to say this was a great NYE dinner. I was called the day before and told there would be a "special" NYE 4 course tasting menu at $125 per person. Not too out of line I thought so why not? This was my first time at this restaurant, my dad passed away the day after Thanksgiving and I thought I would treat my mom and bring in a much happier New Year - Well spending dinner with her made dinner the most enjoyable - I wish I could say it was the food. The portions were scant and when the bill arrived I saw I was charged extra for 2 of the 4 courses I ordered! Completely taken by surprise! When you tell someone 4 courses for a set price then the items on the menu should equal that price. Tisk Tisk - not the way to run a business. I don't think I'll be back.

    Went to the New Year’s Eve dinner. The advertisement said $50 to 75$ set menu instead with choices included upgrades and up charges everywhere. We were charged 125 per person. Plus the waitress asked if we wanted the wine pairing$75?a piece wine pairing. The wine which is very small amount added $75?each to the total. We could have had a glass for $15. The waitress did not mention any additional costs. The bill for two was $480. Do not be deceived. That is an outrageous cost. The waitress was so misleading. We still don’t know what would have constituted a 75 each dinner. Mystery to us We will not go back. Very unfair and deceiving.
