   very nice interior design, and that's it. It is impossible to hear the waitress, you don't even hear what near sitting person is talking? It's extremely too loud. Food is disgusting not even bad it's disgusting. I lived in France and this "food" never been near to France cuisine. Papperdelle Ratatouille what was that? Quarter of burrata for 4 people. ...It's funny when the group of teenagers come to this Bistro restaurant just to sit and drink water, just to post on Instagram that you been there. It's very entertaining to look and awkward to them. Not recommended at all.

   Really enjoyed dinner at Louie Louie. This was my 2nd time there after being introduced a few weeks ago by friends. The service was great. It was really busy, and consequently a bit noisy, but that didn't really get in the way of the conversation between my friend and I.......I will definitely return to try other entrées. I will also recommend this restaurant to others.

   I’ve been here a few times. I’ve had happy hour at their gorgeous bar, and brunch at both the an indoor and outdoor tables. I recently had brunch with dear friend who was in town. We loved the shaded outdoor seating. Our waitstaff Zach was amazingly attentive and incredibly charming. She had the blueberry cheesecake French toast with chicken & apple sausage and i the wild mushroom omelette with apple smoke bacon. My friend really enjoyed her meal and the vibe of the restaurant.

   My wife, son and I went to Louie Louie for a Father’s Day brunch. I had made a reservation requesting to be seated on the patio and we were promptly led there. Shortly, we were greeted by Erica who has been our server previously and, as usual, she was very pleasant and efficient. We ordered the cheese tray for a shared appetizer and, frankly, it was a mild disappointment. The tray had a sparse amount of cheese along with a dab of nice blueberry preserves along with a few small brioche crackers……..not a value at $19. My son ordered the Louie burger and my wife and I ordered the pan bagnat, a warm tuna sandwich. Both entrees were very good. Our sandwich was hot and flavorful with a tasty crusty baguette. We ordered the clafoutis for dessert. Erica told us the kitchen was a little delayed but we received our dessert to share in good time. Unfortunately, the clafoutis was cold and congealed instead of hot and creamy……….really inedible. We understood the restaurant was very busy with the holiday business and Erica, despite being very busy, provided excellent service.

   I took my husband to Louie Louie for brunch on Father’s Day. I have to say the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The ambience is GREAT!! My husband had the burger which he liked. I had the eggs benedict which was just ok. The eggs were a little over cooked and the English muffin was hard. The service was good, however our waiter could be a little more organized by telling us before we ordered what the restaurant was out of instead of waiting until we ordered. I really wanted the Louie Dip as it sounded delicious, but they ran out. The drinks were great!! Overall, I would definitely come back but I would order something different for brunch.

   The service was very poor. We waited for almost an hour between ordering and receiving our meals. The royal eggs Benedict were lukewarm when they arrived, and the waiter forgot a second beer that one of us ordered. They did comp us for that.

    Found this place on tik tok and went for Fathers Day. The place is super nice and clean very aesthetically pleasing it is in the neighborhood of UPenn so it’s very nice and clean. Drinks were really good. Food was super good especially the Strawberry French toast! Will definitely be going again, highly recommend

    Vibe looked cool. Bread was good. Scallop app was just weird. We didn’t expect a cheesy dip plate. Thought more like a scallop on a brioche w a sprinkle of cheese and breadcrumbs. Same for the eggplant paillard. It was deep fried eggplant. Just say that on the menu. The steak and burger were good. But the other misses just made it an overall not good.

    Delightful experience at Louie Louie! Excellent food, fabulous attentive service, and ambiance; lovely decor. Very noisy at the busy dinner time (~7:30 on a Friday) and it was difficult to talk with friends across the table, but quieted down a bit when the bar cleared out a little. Would absolutely dine here again!

    This used to be one of my fav restaurants in Unix City. And I was not impressed yesterday by the change in the menu. The current menu is MEH. The food took forever to arrive. The waiter preferred to only respond to my friend and was curt in speaking with me. Overall a bad experience at what used fo be one of my fav restaurants !

    We went to Louie Louie on a friday afternoon for a business lunch. The food and drinks took a long time to come out, making our meal last over 2 hours for lunch. When they finally brought the food, they brought the appetizer three times to our table. The food was bland and mediocre. And the pricing was definitely too high for the quality of the food.

    Great way to celebrate a graduation in the afternoon! Very impressed with your server. Noise level high, a little challenging to hear everything, but not terrible. This place is one of few open at lunch that takes reservations. Thank goodness it was good food, good service! Nice location, too.

    Went here for a business dinner with a seminar speaker. It was loud enough that it was a bit hard to talk. The acoustics are very live - I think this is intentional to create "buzz". In another situation I might have liked it, but this place is definitely not for people with a hearing problem. Service was super friendly, but not skilled. Several items on the menu were not available. Our waiter did not know much of anything about the dishes, was poor at advising and could not tell us what the sauces were. Three times, wait staff plunked down food in front of the wrong person. No one ever suggested another round of beer/wine although glasses were empty. Food was OK. People who had the chicken and dumplings really liked it, but the other dishes we had seemed odd and/or uninspired. It was not cheap (with tip, nearly $80 per person, which would have been fine if all else had been better. As it was, I think one could do better elsewhere. I love the location and the ambiance (other than the noise) so would go again, but not for anything important.

    We booked for seven but practically, they put us for six seating outside. We had to drag a chair for one to sit. The grilled cheese sandwich still had the cheese hard and cold. The mushroom soup was clumpy. The waitress put a soup spoon on the table, which isn't hygienic, and she didn't do a good waitress task. She poured the water into only half of the glass, and when she handed a food container to one of my coworkers, she could have come behind her and excused herself, but she stopped across the table and just handed the container right between my other two coworkers right by their heads. The paper and the item almost hit their heads. I went there end of 2019 and everything was good. Now we all are very disappointed, and none of us would go back there again.

    We were seated right away and the server poured water for the table. After that it was a solid ten minutes before she returned to take our drink order and only when we called her over. We placed our food order at the same time. Drinks were delivered but then 45 minutes went by with no service. We finally called her over and she replied our food would be right out. Ten minutes later she returned and apologized for the delay. Then a manager came over and apologized for the delay. Food was served and one of the dishes was served seriously undercooked.

    It was horrible, they did not have many items once we ordered it. There were five of us for brunch. We spoke to one manager who explained this situations in the kitchen then promised to bring something out and never did. Once we received the food it was not appetizing at all. We spoke to another manager who also explained the issues with the food items shortage he provided a gift card for a return visit. Our bill was $280 a total waste for my daughter bday celebration... We all said we will not return.

    The hostess turned us away claiming that there were no availabilities the remainder of the lunch hour but when we checked on open table there were several availabilities. It took 30mins to seat us after our reservation time which was disappointing. One of our meals, an omelet, was EXTREMELY watery but the manager rectified that matter by bringing another better cooked version.

    I found the experience at Louie Louie last Thursday night like trying to eat and chat in Grand Central Station at rush hour. The din (both inside and out - we got moved from the patio to the interior, which was just as loud) was so impossible that our waitress couldn't hear our orders unless we yelled. Despite her best attempts (we told her we had to make a curtain at the Annenberg) we got one of our drinks initially and the other 20 minutes later, followed by the food. Screaming at each other really took away from our being able to appreciate anything we were eating or drinking. I will never go there again.

    We wanted to eat outside. This restaurant has a nice covered seating area. It was pouring out and we were very comfortable. Our waiter was excellent. Got our drinks quickly, got water, took our order and continued to be attentive all evening. We both ordered the Louie burger and both enjoyed them very much.

    Had breakfast while staying at the Inn at Penn Hilton hotel that is attached to Louie Louie. The food was excellent and my server, Floricia, provided excellent service. The hotel will direct you to their own crappy, over priced restaurant in-house for breakfast - don’t do it. Go to Louie Louie instead. Louie Louie is SO MUCH BETTER. You won’t believe the prices are similar.
