    South village grille has become our go to for a special dinner. We have only ordered sushi so far but meals going by look wonderful! Very friendly and accommodating staff, the freshest ingredients. For dessert you have to try the butter cake.

    Three of us are gluten free and we had a variety of choices: cauliflower crust pizza, California roll (superbly fresh) with gluten free soy sauce, inventive salads (mine had heirloom tomatoes and arugula, and an excellent array of cocktails. Our server was outstanding and took time to guide us around the menu to accommodate our gluten free diets. Great value for the quality of food!

    We were in the second room with the sushi bar with and there was a large party at the other end of the room. It was so loud at various points that we could barely hear each other speaking. There’s literally nothing in that room to help absorb the sound of large parties and it just echoed through the space. Love the restaurant but may think twice before booking a date there again.

    I opted for the salmon dish tonight, and it was absolutely delicious. Very happy to see that they have opened up the sushi restaurant for additional seating. We had several people waiting on us while we were there. Service was wonderful, ambience was great. We love this restaurant. I forget the name of my drink, but I can tell you that it was purple and the base was vodka. I may have had a few of those , delicious!
