   Asked for high top table in reservation and was seated by bathroom in low table. Not the best for an anniversary dinner. Food and service were great!

   We went on New Years Eve and from the moment of sitting down, we were run through our paces to order, eat and get out so they could turn over the table to someone else. We call it Louie's Fast Food now.

    Our server was very good. We enjoyed the ambiance - music was a bit loud. I had the fish special and it wasn't done in the middle, only the edges. The sauce was like a milk gravy with very little flavor. It took quite a long time to get our meals and it appeared a bulk of meals came at the same time... so I'm not sure if the cook/chef was late getting in and had to rush... We were disappointed, as we had been before and had a good experience with our meals in the past.

    We have become regulars at Louie's Wine Dive. The food is great, as is the wine selection. Still, we mostly appreciate the team. The servers are friendly and efficient, making the experience delightful.

    Great food! Great service! Lighting is a little harsh over some of the high tops, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time.

    We first went to another restaurant, where we were ignored for 10-15 minutes, so we left and came here. Louie’s always lives up to our expectations. Food and service were exactly what they needed to be.

    Ate outside since the weather was very cooperative. Maybe eating indoors would have been quieter. Otherwise everything was exceptional as always. Service was great, food and drink were awesome, I’d highly recommend a great dining experience at Louie’s Wine Dive. Our server had good knowledge of food and wine pairings, and made some delicious suggestions. Overall a great evening.

    This is a favorite spot for our gluten free diet. Lots of options that you’d never guess they were GF! The menu changes with the seasons and there are quite a few staple favorites too.

    Appealing menu; superlative service, reasonable prices. Food quality is quite good. Noisy in the main part of the restaurant; but you can request a quiet-er table by the west windows.

    I haven't been to the Wine Dive in several years, and now I'm wondering why. My only complaint (and it's not really a complaint, more of an observation) that it's a bit more spendy than I anticipated. Otherwise, my party & I had a great time.

    My favorite restaurant! It's less than a mile from where I live and has the best gluten-free menu! Went there last night for my birthday with two friends. We shared the squeaky cheese starter, which I had never had before. It was so good we could have eaten two plates of it but then would not have had room for the rest of our great food. Always order the brussels sprouts starter, even friends who do not like brussels sprouts love that! One friend had the champagne fish and chips, and substituted green beans(a healthy, flavorful alternative for the chips). Perfectly cooked and crispy. I added blackened salmon to the Iowa sweet corn risotto—an excellent combo of flavors and textures. My other friend is so entranced with Emily's harvest salad, she orders it every time we go there! A great bi rthday meal ending with gluten-free apple crisp!!

    Wonderful spot in a neat neighborhood. Patio is perfectly sized and on the north side of the building (better shade!). Staff is responsive, quick, and very professional. Bar service is top notch too, in addition to lots of choices on wine the bar has a variety of local distilled spirits too. And the menu is clearly marked gluten-free, able-to-be-made-gluten free, and not. Will be back!

    Meadow was a great server. Food was very good. I did not give 5 stars because my salmon was over cooked on my salmon salad. But the flavors were really good. Drinks a little spendy. Overall I would go back!

    The ambiance is wonderful and the food is delicious. I had shrimp tacos and my dining companion had a chicken sandwich, which we both enjoyed. We shared a side of risotto, which was absolutely delicious. The bartender knew how to make a very good Negroni. The "icing on the cake" were the beignets. They melt in your mouth!

    We have been a few times for brunch and dinner. This time around, for brunch, it was not good. 2 of the 3 meals were lukewarm at best and our sides of breakfast potatoes were cold. Drinks were decent, service was good but initially I was ready to leave because it took so long for someone to acknowledge that we were seated. After that service was fine but It will be a long while before we go back.
