I don’t typically write reviews but drinks weren’t good, server had a horrible attitude. Food was good, just a little salty. Thought it was a little overpriced for the experience

Another wonderful experience. We tried the new salmon and chicken entrees. Both were flavorful and great. Jennifer was her usual exceptional personality and server.

I was really hopeful that we’d have a great experience, based on the reviews I read. Unfortunately, this place missed the mark. The restaurant itself is very nice and clean, and the service was good. We were greeted and sat right away. I made reservations for Father’s Day. We order the jalapeño biscuits. They were stale, extremely dry, and just not good. We sent them back. We also ordered the beignets which are made to order, so we knew it would take some time. They arrived in about 20 mins, burnt to a crisp. You can smell that they were burnt. Those went back. My breakfast Sammie had potential, and it was almost good, but it was drenched in the aioli, so wasn’t good. The parfait and spicy Salmon roll were good (the only 2 items without issue). My son’s chicken fingers and fries weren’t kid friendly, and were basically fried chicken chunks. This could have been preference but my 5 year old passed on it. His dad ordered the steak and eggs. Steak was cooked to temp, which he ate. The simple salad that it came with was drenched in dressing, so not edible. They did take off the biscuit and beignets from our check, which I appreciated. Overall I wouldn’t recommend, at least not for brunch.

Another wonderful time at the South Village Grille with family and friends. A couple of new items on the menu for trying and sharing. Had the salmon with the forbidden rice which was a wonderful new flavor combination. We always finish our dinner experience with beignets. They are the best!

We were visiting OSU (group of 5) ...South Village came up in my search and I'm so happy I chose to go. Perfect menu with a broad, but reasonable range, excellent quality food (and sushi!), attentive and friendly service and a great atmosphere. I will definitely return! Thanks for a great experience.
