    We had a very nice time. We arrived early for our reservation and were still able to be seated promptly. Our server was great and didn’t rush us.

    We made a last minute reservations for a group of 8 that included a 12 yo with severe Celiac Disease. Lou’s takes this very seriously and had everything handled wonderfully. The Gluten Free pizza was great and everything else was really good as well. Combined with excellent service and it made for a nice early dinner with family in from out of town.
