Louie's Oyster BarGreat food. Beautiful sunset.Highly recommend. Great food and the oysters are incredible6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMlovely viewLouie's is a neighborhood gem: the view, the ambience it's just a great gig!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMLouies is such a beautifulLouies is such a beautiful place in Port Washington. The food is outstanding, the waiters are attentive and the view is beautiful. It is perfect for a romantic date night. My boyfriend and I love going there when we want good seafood and a nice relaxing night.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMOK Food and Service, Great ViewI thought the quality of the cooking could have been a lot better. I specifically say "cooking" and not the "food" because I think the actual quality of the ingredients/fish was quite good, it just was not prepared that well.
I also think you need to offer more variety in wines by the glass.
Service was inconsistent. We had 3 servers (excluding the buss boys). 2 were really good but our main server seemed stressed out from having to deal with several large tables (it was a busy night). The issue could probably be resolved with better training.
The view was excellent.
Given the price point, there are definitely other options to try... if they improve the food and service, Louie's will be the top choice for dining - Good Luck!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMClam Bake is the way to goLouie's is an institution that has great outdoor dining and great sunsets. The food is always good but the Monday Clam Bake is a great deal with LOTS of delicious food.6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMlouiesgood place to have a nice outdoor meal. good menu. ok wine list, not great barware at all (got our wine poured into those thick short wine glasses that were still wet from being washed, i don't like wine served with little care but i may be too particular with the wine things)...pretty reasonably priced given the outdoor dining and view and good food quality. not great parking but worth it5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMCHILEAN SEA BASS WAS A HITI REALLY ENJOYED THE CHILEAN SEA BASS SPECIAL. THE WAITER WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. WE DINED INSIDE, BUT NOTICED MANY PEOPLE OUTSIDE APPARENTLY HAVING A GREAT TIME WHETHER IT BE OVER DINNER, DRINKS OR BOTH.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat food great service withgreat food great service with that old world charm5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable eveningBoth the food and wine menu was excellent,although a little pricey.The food was excellent,and the staff was friendly,attentive and professional.Wonderful ambiance,with a great view of the water.I would definitely give it 2 thumbs up for anyone looking for a special evening.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat seafoodGreat seafood, but pricy, since the prices are so high I would recommend special occasions only. But its a treat when you go. Plus all the meals have sides that are a la carte so up goes the price even more. With this said the portions are generous.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went to celebrate Mother'sWe went to celebrate Mother's day and thankfully they did not have a special menu for the day. They were not in a rush to turn over the table. The service was great. Our server Raymond had a wonderful personality and was very knowledgeable about the wine list and the specials. We ate outside and it was very comfortable. We all indulged in the seafood and it was fabulous. We ordered a tower of cold seafood and a tower of hot. We can't wait to go back again. Loved it! Thank you so much :)5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMbeautiful viewWe went for an early dinner the Saturday before Mothers Day. The place was hopping. The menu was limited but had enough for me and my son to pick from. My husband wasnt happy with the choices and ended up with fish and chips which he didnt like. We shared a salad. Forgot to ask for dressing on the side and it came drenched in dressing. My cod in broth was very good. My son ordered scallops which he said were rubbery. The view is always wonderful. Parking is a challenge . The have a lot which is on a steep hill.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMStill Amazing!!My wife and I have been to Louie's several times now and we are never disappointed.
I had the crab roll this time and I couldn't believe how big it was. Large chunks of fresh crabmeat inside of a huge piece of Challah bread. My wife had the salmon, also amazing.
The wait staff was very acommodating and friendly to my 4 year old daughter who wanted to play out on the dock. They brought her crayons and a picture to color as well as balloons at the end of our meal.
We sat outside this time because the weather was nice and there were boats out on the water. They sat us under an awning with a large heater just in case it got a little chilly.
This is one of our favorite places. 5 star food and 5 star people. Thanks Louies!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were there late afternoonWe were there late afternoon on a Friday in May. Business was a little slow at that time but we've been to Louie's before when it was abosolutelt frenetic. We've never been dissapointed yet. Make reservations if in doubt!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Business LunchMy co-worker & I took two clients from Seattle for a nice lunch. A little dissapointing that we couldn't sit outside...and if the hostess would have waited five more minutes, we could have gotten a table. But we sat right on the edge of outside and gave our guests the view of the water. We never asked but after it took over an hour to get our food, the manager came over and gave us all free dessert. The food was very good and we had a nice time.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMClassic Seafood JointIt was warm enough to eat outside overlooking Manhasset Bay at Louie's in Port Washington this past Sunday and that was a treat. The menu is a good mix of traditional and creative dishes. I had a sashmi appetizer, a warm lobster roll, and corn on the cob. It felt almost like summer and the lobster roll was superb. The service was good too, although it was clear the waitress had been instructed to push certain dishes and that detracted from the over-all good vibe.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and service. SoGreat food and service. So noisy in the main dining room you can't carry on a conversation. In need of some noise dampening.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat outdoor dining.We've gone for romantic dining by the water. We've gone for special lunch just the girls for a healthy session of catching up. We've gone with our 15 month old daughter. Each time was a different experience. Nonetheless, always great! Staff is attentive. Food is fresh. The view is AMAZING outdoors on a warm sunny day.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful Place, Great foodHaven't been to Louie's for a while, we decided to check it out as it was a beautiful day to site outside and enjoy the water view. It was packed as always but the service and food were better than usual. Our waitress Natalie did a great job.
And the food was delicious. The Grouper special was superb. As were the tuna tacos and the lobster Mac & cheese4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing North Shore GemIf you love seafood, look no further. The waterfront view is amazing and the food top notch4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place with great foodGreat place with great food and service. My only complaint is that it takes a while to get seated. I had a reservation and still was not seated until 10 min after my reservation time.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the food here! It's aLove the food here! It's a great spot to sit outside and have a drink, lunch, dinner. The freshest seafood in the neighborhood! It's the only place I'll go for a great steamed lobster dinner or clams on the half shell.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe asked for a window seatWe asked for a window seat when the reservation was made, but we were a bit early and didn't get it. I was glad in the end though because the sun setting was shining in on everyone's face who was at the window. We timed the reservation for a perfect sunset and it doesn't get any better than what we saw. The view alone is worth going to this restaurant. The appetizer special, lobster tacos was outstanding. My husband loved his fish stew. I had scallops in a cheese sauce that were mediocre at best. The table next to us had small children which was not the best experience, but it wouldn't stop me from going back again.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat For A First Date...I picked Louie's restaurant to bring a first date to, as he was an out of towner, I wanted the experience to be relatively stress free. I also wanted a great dining experience. Well, louie's did not let me or my date down. The food was fantastic, especially the lobster taco, was dreaming of that for days, REALLY! Our main course was fantastic...I had surf and turf and my date had the fresh tuna. Both were really, really good, as well as our other appetizers....raw clams and oysters on the half shell. Thanks for helping to make this a great first date! will be back!!!! By the way, atmosphere was very friendly, and exceptional wait staff, who were very friendly and attentive! Can't wait to come back!!!!!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is my most favorite restaurantThis is my most favorite restaurant time and time again!

Summer would be wonderful there. Will be back.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMMy only negative issue wasMy only negative issue was our table seating. I chose this restaurant for the ambience and the spectacar views and we were seated in the back room where we felt out of it. Not a fun place to be when you know there's other rooms that complete the Louie's experience. Food was great.3/1/2013 12:00:00 AMthe seafood is great. waitthe seafood is great. wait staff great want to go back for bruch2/22/2013 12:00:00 AMRib eye was amazing!Have to say, I have been going to Louie's for 30 years, mostly because of the location and the view, can't beat this place in the summer! Food was always okay, but nothing great.
Something happened!!! Just went for the first time in months and had one of the best pieces of steak in years. I would highly recommend the 20oz ribeye. It was amazing, better than some steak houses in the area. Wife's lobster was perfect, and the raw clams were tasty.2/17/2013 12:00:00 AMAs usual, everything was veryAs usual, everything was very good...however, I think the dessert menu could use a little tweaking.2/14/2013 12:00:00 AMPricey but Worth Every PennyWent this past weekend with a couple of friends. Food ordered ranged from Lobster Tails to Lamb Chops. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Key lime pie was a great finish to the meal. Many specials were available. Overall a great night and the quality of the food was a big part of it. Its a bit pricey but at least I felt it was worth the money when we left. I would definitely come here again.2/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe real deal LI Seafood experienceWanted to show out of town guest the real Long Island seafood restaurant, which scenic view of LI Sound. We were not disappointed. Food, service and ambiance were great. Waiter's suggestions were right-on. Very satisfied with experience.1/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBeen coming here for a fewBeen coming here for a few years and I've never been disappointed.1/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Celebration!12 of us went to Louie's Oyster Bar and Grill to celebrate my mother-in-laws 75th birthday! The morning of our reservation, received a call from a lovely gal who works at the restaurant confirming the reservation and asking if there was anything further she could do to make our evening special. Was a nice touch! Upon arrival we were greeted by the same friendly voice that I heard on the telephone! While waiting for the entire group to arrive, husband and I had the pleasure of having a drink at the bar. The ambiance and decor in the bar area was outstanding.
Once seated, the food was great...service terrific! We devoured surf and turf, steak, lobster tails and the kids had hamburgers, crab cake sandwiches and ribs! WONDERFUL TIME!1/19/2013 12:00:00 AMAttentive staff and management.PortAttentive staff and management.Portion sizes were large.

I look forward to going to this place again!1/8/2013 12:00:00 AMSaturday Nite at Louie'sOf the four meals, three (salmon, pasta w shrimp and mussels) were very, very good. However, the scallops were mushy and soaked in an oily mixture. Not typical of Louie's which usually serves wonderful meals. There is a definite need for a different recipe for scallops.1/5/2013 12:00:00 AMabsolutely YUMMY!!!Very courteous and alert staff. Service was incredible. Since it was New Year's Eve and everything was busy they were incredible. Quick service. The filet mignon is delectable. Add in the lobster tail and I was good to go for the New Year. My sister had the lobster sauce mussels.. was so good it could have been soup for her. My brother in law had the twin lobster tails.. seemed to be a great choice for many dining there that night. I look forward to going back in the Spring.. Cheers and Happy 2013!!!12/31/2012 12:00:00 AMWorth the trip.Beautiful place situated right on the water in Pt Washington, this is a good, reliable, comfortable place for anyone. Nice menu with many choices. Plenty of seafood options, and good steaks. Our waitor was super nice and attentive. The restaurant was very quiet for a saturday evening, but it was also lousy weather, and the place is a hike up to the north shore of Long Island. In the summer, there's an outdoor deck which I'm sure is absolutely gorgeous. My one complaint, its a little pricey for what it is.12/29/2012 12:00:00 AMWe took my dad there for hisWe took my dad there for his 67th birthday.. and everything we ordered was great... 4 of us had the Lobster special offered on Mon. & Tues., it was great... the Hot appetizers we started off with was delicious....
