The Peasant Village Restaurant

We made a reservation (very important) and were greeted immediately. We were sat at a table that was very comfortable and roomy. Our waitress was amazingly sweet and offered great suggestions. I had a berry mojito with gin added and my husband had an old fashion. (We suggest trying the drink they were amazing balanced) we ordered truffle fries and steak and cheese egg rolls. They were flavorful, egg rolls were very crunchy but still edible. My husband's plate did come out before mine and we waited 5-7 minutes before mine did. My husband ordered a ribeye, which came with fries. I ordered the mediterranean beef kabob, which also came with fries. My only complaint is it was too much fries not enough veggies. There was no substitutation due to the new menu. But chef did stop at our table and let me know that they will be allowing it after they try out the new menu. Overall good food, good atmosphere, will definitely come again.

The food was sooo good. We got rolls for appetizers that were amazing. And the guy made a drink with berries that was really good too. The food i think is made by a real chef.

Food, drinks, and service were really good! Items are pricey but I'd love to come back every month when their menu renews (from what I've seen online). It's nice to have a restaurant of this style in San Angelo.

The grits were by far the best I've had in my life.

02 MAY. I GOT A RESPONSE FROM THE CHEF EARLIER THIS EVENING APOLOGIZING AND HOPING I WOULD COME BACK AND HE WOULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I RECEIVED THAT AND MADE A RESERVATION FOR NEXT MONTH....A FEW MINUTES AGO...I GOT A RETRACTION THAT IS ...WELL...YOU CAN READ IT BELOW. THIS WAS MY RESPONSE TO THE RETRACTION: NOT A PROBLEM. I WAS POLITE. I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING IN AN UGLY MANNER. I TIPPED. I DID NOT IN ANY WAY INSULT OR DISRESPECT ANYONE. ASKING TO NOT BE SEATED NEAR CHILDREN IS A REASONABLE REQUEST (AND THE HOSTES ACTUALLY STATED SHE UNDERSTOOD). EVERYONE HAS PREFERENCES AND AS A PAYING CUSTOMER...I SHOULD HAVE THE SAME FREEDOM TO MAKE REQUEST AS ANYONE ELSE. THERE IS NOT ONE WORD IN MY REVIEW THAT WAS NOT HONEST. YOU ARE VERY HOSTILE AND DEFENSIVE. I REALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THAT VISIT...PARTLY BECAUSE OF A REALLY LONG WEEK AND THE A/C ISSUE...BUT REALLY...AGAIN. IN A FINE DINING FACILITY ALL GUESTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR EXPERIENCE (INCLUDING THE SOLO DINER). I'M SORRY YOU REALLY AREN'T ABLE TO ACCEPT MY OPINION AND WOULD RATHER MAKE BASELESS ACCUASATIONS. 26APRIL2024/1830 A THREE IS A LITTLE GENEROUS. I'M GOING TO VISIT ONE MORE TIME TO SEE IF THIS MEDIOCRE EXPERIENCE WAS JUST A BAD NIGHT...OR SERVER SPECIFIC. I MADE A RESERVATION HERE AFTER A CO- WORKER RAVED ABOUT THE PLACE. I DO ALOT OF FINE DINING...TEXAS, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL. I NEVER EXPECT PERFECTION...ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I GET IT...BUT WHAT I DO EXPECT IS TO BE LISTENED TO...I SAID...I WANTED MY COCKTAIL AND TIME TO ENJOY IT BEFORE MY MEAL.....MY COCKTAIL NEVER ARRIVED (I DID ASK IF THERE WAS HOPE)...MY SALAD ARRIVED...STILL NO COCKTAIL...AND NO TOMATOES ON THE SALAD...THE SERVER TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T THINK IT CAME WITH TOMATOES...I SHOWED HER THE MENU...FINALLY MY COCKTAIL ARRIVED. I HAD ABOUT 1/3RD OF MY SALAD WHEN SHE BROUGHT MY ENTREE (AGAIN, I HAD ASKED FOR TIME TO HAVE MY SALAD BEFORE THE ENTREE). I PUT MY SALAD ASIDE TO HAVE MY ENTREE...WHICH WAS...DISAPPOINTING...I FOUND THE LAMB TO BE TOUGH AND CHEWY. THE GREEN BEANS ALSO TOUGH. WHAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS DEMIGLAZE...LOOKED AND TASTED LIKE JARRED BROWN GRAVY. MY OLD FASHIONED WAS EXCELLENT. THE HOTESS (LINDA, I THINK) WAS VERY NICE AND EFFICIENT. MY SERVER WAS...NICE AND NOT SO EFFICIENT...WITH TOO MANY EXCUSES. I'M DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAD LOOKED FORWARD TO A DECENT EXPERIENCE AFTER A BRUTAL WEEK. IF MY NEXT VISIT IS BETTER...I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW...IF NOT, WELL...TWO WOULD BE MY LIMIT...BECAUSE WHILE I AM HAPPY TO PAY FOR FINE DINING...TONIGHT WAS NOT IT...TRYING ONE MORE TIME.
