   Both food and service were excellent. Very nicely decorated. Room temperature was a bit chilly and it was a bit too noisy to feel as cozy as the decor made it seem it would be. Both may have been due to our seats being close to the entry.

   Thank you, Michael! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, service, and decor. We truly apologize for the cold temperature near the entry—it’s not the experience we want to provide. We’ll take immediate steps to address this and ensure a warmer, more comfortable atmosphere for your next visit. We can’t wait to welcome you back! ❄️✨ Best, Jordan-Mercedes Manager, Louie Louie

   First time dining here. Lovely setting, but a bit noisy. Our sever was perfection - attentive and efficient but not intrusive. We were chatting a lot so it took us a while to order. Restaurant was busy but she could not have been more patient. This was a random choice for lunch but we’ll definitely be back.

   Oysters were great! Bananas Foster Waffles was great, the waffles themselves were underwhelming. The Crab Louie Salad was good, lots of crab for each bite. Could have had a little more flavor. Overall, ambiance and service were perfect. Wonderful date destination.

   The food was solid and the decor is funky (not in a bad way). Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. One big issue was pacing of the meal. While some may like a quick-paced meal, our service felt very rushed. We ordered, and our first course came out almost immediately. Not necessarily bad, but a bit unusual. However, we were still eating our first course when our entrees arrived. There was no room to digest the first course, and I like a bit of breathing room between courses. Overall, a pretty good dining experience, and the French classics were well executed. I would totally recommend dining here, and will return.

   We were so happy with our meal here! The food was incredible, even just my side of scrambled eggs were delicious! Our cocktails were also delicious, but the real standout here is the service. Our waiter was so helpful and attentive, and went above and beyond since we were celebrating our anniversary. We loved everything about our meal here and will definitely be back in the future!
