   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.

    Normally, this is a great choice for food with depth, interest and prepared with care. Tonight, our server presented one of our party with the incorrect entree, while serving us our entrees. No visit to the table to apologize or convey the time when the dish would be served. So, 2 of us ate together & by the time the 3rd entree appeared, he was essentially dining alone. They were surprisingly busy for a Monday & seemed to be short staffed, which is not the norm. We enjoy this restaurant & will return. It’s a bit of a lesson for the staff. Either take the other two entrees away, offer something to the guest just sitting there or offer a complimentary dessert or drink. We aren’t looking for free.. but service matters tremendously.

    Ludivine has always been my “go to” when it comes to an exceptional meal and ambiance. Last night that changed. The vegetable pasta portion size is literally 3-4 bites for $26. We really thought we had been served a 1/2 portion by mistake! We kindly asked the server, but she did say this is the new portion size. It was almost funny. The Chefs Tasting which I believe is 5 courses had a larger portion size of pasta! We had to leave And go somewhere else to actually have a complete dinner.

    Poor management. Ordered a $40 plate. It did arrive without one ingredient. Unfortunately the server did not indicate they were out of the ingredient, neither the kitchen indicate it before bringing the plate. Of course no apologies or discount either. If they are looking for more customers, It seems counterproductive to have discounted drinks at the bar, but not at the dinner area when both sections were empty. These would be ok in a lower level restaurant, but was expecting more on a supposed upper level restaurant.

    The selection was very limited and there was no flexibility with menu items. When we did get our overpriced food, some of it was bland. There was only one server for the entire restaurant and she seemed frazzled. She kept forgetting stuff. The music was so loud we had to ask her to repeat herself a lot. I have always heard great things about this place and was pretty disappointed.

    Overall the experience was ok. We got off to a rocky start as, after studying the menu to determine our dinner selections, we were informed that we would not be able to order the pre-fixe dinner with wine pairing. The waitress initially did not inform us that in order to select the pre-fixe dinner all people at the table would need to order the same thing. We were only informed after we selected the pre-fixe dinner. I felt this decision by the restaurant not to allow two persons of a four person party to order the pre-fixe menu was not well thought out (especially as the party was made up of two adults and two children -- the two adults attempted to order the pre-fixe menu while the kids, not liking the pre-fixe menu choice, each ordered their own entry along with a side dish). I could understand the thought process if two of the people were not ordering food at all (i.e. people at the table don't order food and then try to share from the pre-fixe menu) but that was not the case here. After we were informed that we would not be able to order the pre-fixe menu, we placed secondary orders that were allowed. I then attempted to order a beer. The waitress took all of the drink orders, only to return a little while later to inform me that they did not have the brand of beer that I ordered. Ultimately, the food arrived and all people in the party enjoyed the meal.

    It was great service and atmosphere. The soup was wonderful, an acorn squash with green chilis. The broccolini was also very good. The rabbit was just ordinary without much flavor. Had the meat been better, I would have upped the reading.

    The food is (and is always) amazing. Unfortunately, service this time was terrible. The waitress was "swamped" even though we were 1 of 3 tables in the restaurant. The entire dinner service was this way. It seemed as if we were more of a bother to the staff by being there when this could have been a great way to showcase fabulous service and really excel as they have always done in the past. We did stay a bit late (10PM) and the kitchen staff cranked the music in the entire building so loud that we could not hear our conversation amongst ourselves at the table. I understand that staff wants to leave at the end of the night however the music pretty much rounded out the entire evening as a disappointment. Will try again at some point in time because the chef and food are fabulous. I just hope the service improves.

    I had friends in town from NYC and wanted to treat them to one of my favorite restaurants. Ludivine never disappoints! The charcuterie board was a delightful mix of mostly meat and pickled veggies, the tar tar was outstanding, and the bone marrow is the best you’ll ever get (but be sure you like salty and savory for that one!) Happy hour is the best time to go as our party of four had two rounds of cocktails and plenty to eat for just about $140 after tip.

    We were seated promptly. Given notices of what was available on the menu. Food was prepared perfectly. We split an entree and they divided the food on two plates so nicely. Their vinho verde was so crisp and the gin cocktail was very fresh. I loved the open kitchen. You could see everything being prepared.

    Very limited appetizer and entree menus, but the limitations "forced" us to try something different....like the 23-day aged pork loin w/eggplant my wife had (she always orders fish but didn't want halibut)...and I opted for the beef loin with grits and broccolini. Exceptional. And, we would have never ordered bone marrow as an appetizer, but we did and my wife especially loved it. So, overall a good and memorable experience for our Anniversary dinner. Cocktails way way too small. After one cocktail, we went to wines and recommend the Portugal blanco and the Spanish roja

    A wonderful evening that began with cocktails in the bar and moved to the private dining room (I had never been in either, only the main dining area), included the charcuterie board for the table , outstanding, and a variety of second courses around the table. All accompanied by delicious wines and excellent service.
