    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!!!

    This was my second time visiting Adler for brunch and I had another great experience. Food was on point in terms of taste , presentation and proportion. The server that I had by the name of Victoria was legit , she was personable, approachable and very knowledgable when I asked about the menu and her suggestion. Well def be back and hopefully Victoria will be my server again.

    The only thing is the table (like a coffee table) is too small for two for fine dining.
