"This was our first time and the food was amazing. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. What I enjoyed the most was the service. We had two servers (I can't remember the one guy's name but he had to leave for the night) so we were were served by Jeremiah. He was awesome. We didn't even have to ask for boxes for our yummy leftovers. He already had them in hand just in case. I would definitely come again!"

"It is a regular for me, but, the soup du jour I usually look forward to a very spicy one. Additionally, they usually have tilapia for a salad I like, but, they were out of that also. What I ordered instead was good, but, not AS delicious."

"My first visit to the cafe was this week for dinner with a friend. You must order the crispy lavash appetizer at Lou Lou. I also had the portabello pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Portions were generous and service was fast and friendly. Having a taste of this local treasure is even easier with the new delivery option. Definitely going back!"

"We always enjoy our trips to Lou Lou's. We have not had a meal there we did not like. We were very surprised to be able to get a table for New Year's Eve but were delighted since we were having friends with us. They were very impressed and plan to return with their families."
