About the restaurant

In Provence, a region in southeastern France, “Lou Pécou” is the term for the peduncle, or stalk, that holds a cluster of fruit. Our grandparents taught us that when in the kitchen, you must start with the freshest and finest of ingredients. They had a unique way of feeling and picking lou pécou, to know if the fruit and vegetable is local, ripe, and fresh. We look forward to passing you these traditions and learnings through our pizzas.

At Lou Pécou, you will find exclusive finely curated dishes with a Provençal touch, a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines, signature cocktails, house-made desserts, and much more!

Service was excellent. Seating is very comfortable. Food is generally high quality but zen chicken bowl had too much sauce making the rice soggy ( this is a repetitive issue, but only at this Moxie’s location). Lights a little too low. Overall a very good experience.

Mallory was our server. She was a great server. Food came in appropriate time and was well presented. Portions could have been smaller and thus priced lower for female appetites. The SJG salad with beets was great! I always order fish tacos and they never disappoint. The bill for 3 women including a bottle of wine and no extras was steep at $133 before tip.

We had an amazing dinner here! It was by far our favorite of the trip. Make sure to get the Beef Short Rib because it truly is spectacular. It’s their signature dish for a reason. The Atlantic Halibut is amazing! 10/10 all around. Make your reservation now! Catherine was our server and she truly is a gem!

We have visited this restaurant a few times before. It has seemed to have changed, and not for the better. Needs a bit of a refresh. Server’s were wearing jeans. This is a not great change.
