I love this place. Never disappoints. We usually get the same server and he is fantastic! We had the blackened salmon with the lemon rice and asparagus and it is topped with crab stuffed shrimp. OMG it is soooooo good! This was a fantastic visit!

There during Art Fair so I’m not rating it worse. Over 30 minutes to get drinks, over an hour for food. Food was really pedestrian. Chicken Picatta came out and looked like it came out of a frozen dinner. Really disappointing.

Our daughter just moved to town, and we took her to Louie's for a first impression. Mistake. Service was horrible. The restaurant was packed, and they only had two servers for the entire restaurant, inside and outside. Compounding the poor service was the fact that the server never submitted our order. When he was reminded (after 45 minutes of no attention and no appetizers or salads), he did rush the order, but the food was undercooked, yet somehow cold. To make up for it, he offered free beignets for dessert, and they too were undercooked and doughy. We've always experienced "consistently average" food there, which at times is good enough, but this experience will likely cause us to cross Louie's off our go to list. I realize hiring and maintaining help in the F&B industry is difficult, but if you cannot serve the guests, maybe limit occupancy for a while until you can. I'd recommend others stay away until they get their act together. Missable.

Really underwhelmed. Food was all okay, but pretty overpriced. The menu has a vegetarian icon but they literally only put it on the first two items and then stopped for the whole rest of the menu. Many other dishes are vegetarian, so this just seems lazy and disorganized. Wait staff didn’t know which other dishes were vegetarian and it was like pulling teeth to get them to ask so we could actually get answers. No reason to come back for me

There was a snafu for us, hence the reduced ratings. Our waitress apparently didn’t know we had been seated in her section and we sat unattended for a while. However, eventually, I chased down a waiter and he was super apologetic and took care of everything from that point forward, even though we were not in his section. Once we got his attention, everything was top notch from then on. The restaurant went above and beyond to “make it right.”

Tables along the outside walls are way too close and the acoustics are not good for a restaurant. Most patrons are talking very loud making it extremely difficult to hear my spouse and the server (she even complained also). Food and service was pretty good.

Had a group of 8 celebrating a birthday and the staff was BEYOND accommodating. I called in the afternoon to ensure our group could be seated together and the woman I spoke with was so helpful in making sure our preferred seating arrangement would work. For the dinner Brett was our server and he was absolutely delightful from start to finish. The bar tender was great and had awesome suggestions for our celebration. Food was really tasty and the drinks were super good. We really had a great evening. Excellent experience.

Excellent service, food & drinks. The appetizers Squeaky Cheese & Brussel Sprouts were phenomenal. The chicken piccata was good, but a tad spicy for me. I’m kind of a ninny when it comes to spiciness, so it may not be an issue for most! Overall amazing experience, food & service.

Father’s Day brunch was a disappointment. Their coffee maker wasn’t working and they explained 3 times that they were getting coffee from Starbucks and would have it in 15 minutes. It never came. Service overall was substandard. They may be understaffed. It just wasn’t obvious what the issues were. Food, when it finally came, was decent.

We went here for brunch on Father’s Day. Unfortunately the coffee maker was down. Also, my father-in-law was brought the wrong order. The rest of us were finished eating before his came out. We were given free beignets for the inconvenience, which was appreciated, but feel that his meal should have been removed from the bill, especially with it being Father’s Day and we were celebrating him! It was his first time at Louie’s and unfortunately not the experience we hoped for.

Went for Father’s Day. Their coffee maker broke and that seemed to be their ONLY priority because they wouldn’t take our order for like 20-30 mins. Normally I wouldn’t care but we brought our toddler so long waits are hard. We were there over an hour before we got our food. The English muffin I ordered was cold and soggy. The breakfast burrito was very small for $15. Again- wouldn’t have minded all of this if we didn’t have our toddler and it wasn’t Father’s Day- but not super impressed.

We liked the fun atmosphere of the restaurant. Nathan was an excellent, attentive server. Cheese curds were as good as promised - favorite of friends. Good wine selections and mixed drinks. Beer drinker in the crowd was disappointed that the tap has been out for a few days and many of the bottle beer wasn't available. Croque Monsier was very good. The fish and chips were much too salty for my taste. I understand salt on fries but I didn't expect the salty fish. Even when some of the breading was removed it was very salty. We are looking forward to another visit and to try a couple different menu items.
