The booth we sat in had peeling seats. The food was lukewarm and not nearly as tasty as in the past. The service was disappointing. That said, it is the holiday season and this presents a unique challenge, as people come for large lunch parties. I will give them another chance and would recommend based on past experiences.

The food was lukewarm at best, the other guest who was with me had to send her lasagna back because it was cool to the touch. I ordered the seafood stuffed fish was tasty, but this was not stuffed had a dollop of stuffing on top, it had a nice flavor with no seafood in it at all. it was just lukewarm. The servers however were top notch and very accommodating. This was not the Little Village I am used to, even the bread was off today.

Also our dirty dishes were not removed from the table in a timely fashion. The noise level was too high for my liking. The bathroom was in poor condition and the table quality was poor as the tables were wobbly and uneven for my party of 7. The prices for the portions and quality were excessive. Im struggling to find a reason to return or recommend this restaurant which is unfortunate because it used to be one of my favorites.
