    Delicious dinner, from the short ribs, red beans and rice, seared scallops and Caesar salad. Server was a little slow at first, no silverware or napkins even when our appetizer/salad was served. But he became more attentive and it was a great experience.

    If you are from Louisiana or surrounding states, Lou Lou may not be for you. It was fine food, but it is not seasoned well, lacks flavor and patient chefs. The roux on the etifouffe was light and lacked flavor. The Jambalaya was not Jambalaya, the red beans lacked flavor. The crawfish dip was mainly cream cheese, the crawfish seemed to lack flavor (I recognize it has been a cold start to the season so these may have been frozen and that is understandable). The bananas foster cheesecake features an underwhelming sauce/glaze and unripe bananas. Overall it was a fine meal but apart from the crawfish dip everything came out room temperature, which could have been due to the volume on Valentine’s Day. The service was rough. Our waitress was kind but she was disengaged not with other tables but with her phone. It was other servers who were helping clear the table and refill waters which shows a good staff overall and we may have just caught our waitress on an off night. The table placement was odd and it created an interesting ambiance. The food was well priced for the dishes being offered, but with the quality of the food I think it proved to be overpriced. Overall I would recommend Lou Lou to those who have not had much experience with “New Orleans Style” cuisine.

    We had a wonderful valentine’s Day! Dean, was a wonderful waiter, and made the experience all that much more. I would highly recommend Lou Lou’s on Main Street for a terrific lunch or dinner. It is a bit pricey for anything more than a sandwich, but the food is fantastic.
