Great food as always. Wife and I went for Valentines Day dinner and they had a special menu for food, drinks, and desserts on top of the regular menu. Very nice evening.

I love Cafe Lou Lou. Always enjoy my food and drink. There are so many choices. My particular favorites include the Wedge salad, Barbeque Chicken Pizza, and the Creole/Cajun sampler. I also love the hummus trio. And there are always changes to explore.

This was an old favorite that we hadn’t been to in a very long time. We were reminded why it was a favorite and will be back soon. Great food and wonderful service!

Terrible experience here last night! Our server never came back to check on us- we never saw her again until I went to the hostess and requested our check. Will not be back
