    Great Birthday Celebration! I took my friend for a birthday lunch and the experience was wonderful. The restaurant was not busy yet and it was quieter than other times I've been there but that was kind of nice. Our service was polite and attentive but not annoying. I mentioned on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, and he went over the top bringing us a champagne toast and cookie dough beignets with a candle! The food is always delicious, if a little overpriced, and I happily keep going back.

    I enjoyed my time there. I do wish they have more normal food options like pancake stacks, eggs and biscuits, or something like that instead of all of the weird combinations. But I enjoyed the pancake tacos.

    Took 90 minutes for us to get our salads. Other tables were upset and left. The waitress and wait staff were bit at fault and did their best to make people feel better by attempting to comp their dinners. Was too bad but not worth staying. We paid for our salad and cocktails and had to leave before dinner was even complete.

    Lou Vino's never disappoints. The Devour menu was a little light on some of the best items on the menu, but they allowed you to order a la carte. Delicious. Some of the friendliest and best wait staff at this venue.

    We were seated right away by a friendly hostess. Greeted by a friendly waiter. He was good and personable. Drinks took quite a long time to arrive. The waiter did his best but I think he just had too many tables to serve. The food was very good and all 6 of us enjoyed our meals. All in all a pleasant evening. Had we had been on a time limit we would have been frustrated. Waiter did ask at the beginning if we were going to a show and we told him no.

    The food was amazing! However, our reservation was at 6:45 and we did not leave until 8:45. We did not get our appetizers until we were there for an hour and they were not busy at all. Our server said it was her first night working there and nobody seemed to be helping her out. REALLY disappointing service, slow as molasses, but at least the food was tasty? Would really have to be starving to come back.

    Service & ambiance was phenomenal! Our server Tommy was fun, entertaining and went over and beyond throughout the entire experience considering the long wait for food (3 hours from sitting through dessert). We ordered one of each of the appetizers, burgers, French toast etc. majority of the food quality was all great except the charcuterie was sub-par considering the $29 price point. The smash burger toppings were excellent and unique but the actual burger was very small, hard/dry. Again, service level was excellent and made up for the sub-par burger and wait time. We would go back and give them another shot due to the service provided by Will & Tommy!

    Out of quite a few things on the menu. Waitress pointed out the drink special for the night, which included a Manhattan. After ordering, she returned to tell me they were out of vermouth. Who runs out of vermouth?! Charcuterie board came out with a very small number of crostini’s. Waitress told us that we should order extra crostini because everyone does. It’s toasted bread, not a super expensive item, why so stingy? Out of another appetizer we ordered and an entree one of my companions ordered. Food was fine but nothing really stood out. Unfortunately, none of the four of us feel a desire to return.

    Our family went to LouVino for their special Mother's Day Brunch. We could not have been happier with the decision. We are a bit leery of special holiday meals at restaurants. We have not had the best experiences in the past. Long story. In this case, we could not have been happier. Perfect food. Perfect service. The noise level was not crazy. Our table was wonderful. My adult kids asked me if I was going to write a review because we all kept laughing about what a wonderful experience we we having. Sorry to "pour it on so think", but we loved it. Thank you for making my wife's special day even more special LouVino!
