First time at Loucas, my husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We were blown away by the delicious food and ambiance. We had the tomahawk steak dinner for two, a must if you’re a steak lover. Our waitress Elena was also fun and a great server!

It seems charging us extra for using our craft card is our burden for the restaurant owner doing business. The potion sizes are smaller and expecting at least 20% tip on top of it all.

We used to like Lou Cas and haven't been in several years. The service and care were very nice, but the food was disappointing. My husband had a Caesar salad and a Zuppa de Clams that were only meh...salad was kind of dry and tasteless, the Zuppa was overly oily. I had a swordfish that was well cooked served over broccoli rabe and sun-dried tomatoes that was good. The dessert was dreadful...an apple tart with a tasteless and soggy crust, hardly any apples, and overly sweet. So disappointed. But our waiter was lovely, and the staff were friendly. So, I don't think we'll be going back. Too expensive for an experience like that.

It was not busy when we arrived. When they brought out our “fresh“ bread, they were covered in sauce it did make me think that they were taking off someone else’s dish and reused. I hope not, but they brought us new bread. The salads were drowned in dressing, needed to be sent back and remade, and the rest of the food was mediocre, I’ve been to this establishment many many times so it was a bit disappointing this go around unfortunately.

Hubby asked for his rack of lamb to be medium, and it came back medium rare, rare. It was all red and a bit bloody inside. So, now we have to send it back and I had to eat by myself while we waited for his meal to be reheated or redone? Not very nice for an anniversary dinner. The food however was delicious in the end.

Food was very good. Very loud. We had a table right near the entrance ,busy thoroughfare. Our waitress could’ve been more attentive. I had to ask for water refills every time. No one ever came automatically and more than once I had ask a second time bc the original person didn’t deliver.

There were three of us for lunch on a very busy December afternoon. Our server was prompt, courteous and solicitous. We all had seafood, which was delicious(baked Atlantic salmon and stuffed shrimp, as well as appetizer of stuffed mushrooms.) The food arrived hot, as it should. We had creme brulee and coconut cake for dessert as well as cappuccino. We highly recommend LouCas as the quality of food is very fresh and quite tasty. Good value, frriendly staff.

Was staying nearby for the Hallmark Christmascon and stopped at LouCas for dinner. Restaurant was nicely and tastefully decorated. White table cloths and elegant Christmas decor. Located in strip with plenty of parking. Our waitress was very attentive. Super detailed list of the evenings specials. Shrimp cocktail was very good. Smallish portion but shrimp was nice size. Bread/rolls were delicious. I love a good seeded roll. We both had the chicken parmigiana and it was very good with big portions. I would definitely visit again. A very enjoyable dinner.
