Restaurant in Melbourne is too dark. We have eaten there 3 x and always are seated with such low lights. Food is decent. The fondue us always fresh and chocolate is delish. Little pricey.

I really love this place and wished I lived closer. We made reservations at Bar Louie's before attending a concert at the Additional Financial Arena. This was for a Girl's Trip. The drinks were AMAZING!!!! The food and service was great too. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The ambiance is good too, I wish I would have taken some pictures. Bar Louie needs to come to Ocala or The Villages area!

The place was cracking and getting really busy when we got there. We had a reservation so that really helped out. We are from Cali and the food was just as good as back home. The vibe was great and the place was poppin! The service was great! We had a server named Katherine and she was nice and very friendly. The manager Nena was amazing and got things done. It was busy and she was helping out bringing out the food and helping all the tables. It was a great overall experience!!

Very good food and service. Nice sit-down atmosphere. Went on Tuesday when it would be typically uncrowded which made the meal all the more enjoyable.
