    The food and service were great. We will have to come back and try the apps. the oven was broken and unfortunately all the apps we heard great reviews on were unavailable. But overall, it was good choice for a Father's Day dinner.

    Delicious food, variety of choices for most palates, and most importantly for us, kid-friendly. Everyone that interacted with our table was super helpful and friendly. Our food was delicious and all of it came with no fuss. We brought out of town guests this trip and they commented on how good it was and to keep this on our short list to bring visitors.

    The food and service at Lou Lou is always amazing. It seems that no matter what I order, I love it. You can tell that the chef takes a great deal of pride in his creations, and this is one of the few restaurants where I didn't want to add salt & pepper. It's seasoned properly! The ambiance is ok. It's not a romantic vibe, but I would rather they concentrate on the food/service anyway. It can get loud, so during busy times, it might not be the best place for a 1st date. The cocktails are delicious, and created with care. They have some on the menu that I haven't seen anywhere else. Get the bread pudding for dessert! It's amazing.

    The food was amazing, as always, with friendly service. It's always a pleasure to come back with new friends to show off some of Louisville's best cuisine.

    One of my favorites. I like both the St Matthews and NULU locations-will try Middletown soon.

    Food is good, service is not great, and the restaurant is pretty run down. Needs a good deep cleaning in my opinion! be prepared to be charged $1.00 if you ask for a SIDE of mayonnaise!
