    Went here for the Valentines prix fixe menu- three courses for $85 / person (plus drinks and truffle fries- don’t sleep on those!) La Plume was able to seat us earlier which we appreciated! We were in the upper dining room area which still felt cozy and intimate enough despite being fairly open. I had the burrata with beets and radicchio, which was a great first bite. Then the duck breast for my main. This was the real star. The duck was perfectly cooked to medium rare and I loved the puree of celeriac and lentils du puy. For drinks the bonbon cocktail set a very high standard! My partner liked the Plume old fashioned. He ordered lobster rigatoni, tasty but portion wise for him it might not have been enough. I was definitely full after dessert-baba au rhum- which is a cute vanilla rum soaked cake. Overall the service was incredibly attentive and both waiters who took care of us were extremely friendly, polite and made us feel comfortable. I recommend highly for a date night dinner.

    We enjoyed every course of our meals. We started with the foie gras, salted cod, warm olives and honey butter and bread and everything was delicious. My husband had the roast chicken for his main and for the side he had the macaroni and cheese and both were excellent. I had the duck which is served on top of a bean cassoulet. The duck skin was perfectly crispy and the duck went so well with the cassoulet. My daughter had the classic steak and frittes and her steak was cook perfectly. We shared two tarts for dessert-one lemon and one chocolate. Both were divine. Highly recommend Le Sélect.

    It was our first time at Louix Louis and we had a great time!! We were sitting at the bar and our bartenders/servers were amazing. They were welcoming, friendly and engaging. The bartender suggested the Louix Spritz with a shot of Casamigo Reposado and it was one of the best cocktails I have ever had..must try!! For our dinner, we ordered Burrata and Endive salad, Crab salad, Lobster Risotto and Filet Mignon, and King's Chocolate cake for dessert, all was superb!!! Great service, beautiful and relaxing ambience and superb food and drinks. Our overall experience was amazing!! We will definitely go back. This place is a must visit restaurant if you have not been. Thank you Louix Louis for an amazing night!!!

    Love Cluny - such a beautiful space and service is always amazing (I've coincidently been there 3x in 2025 -- family brunch, dinner with friend group, valentine's day with hubby -- all experiences were top notch. Although its a large open space it doesn't seem to get loud and still feels intimate and romantic, if that's what you're looking for. Thanks to the Cluny team.
