    We had an amazing experience yesterday at Louie. The food was excellent as were the staff. They really were super welcoming, very friendly and professional. We were a table of 12 and everyone said how good the day was. We had Group Sharing Menu A - would highly recommend.

    Lovely service from Gloria and expertly crafted cocktail—the mezcal martini was a standout. The food had a beautiful balance of flavours, leaving me satisfied without feeling overly full. The Celeriac Pastrami was a highlight—lovely and creamy, making for a fantastic vegan option. A delightful experience overall!
