I probably won't be eating at Louie's again. It was a very loud, open barn and was very difficult to converse. My daughter and I ordered the same meal, the filet oscar - hers was a 5oz medium with garlic mashed potatoes and mine was the 8oz medium-rare with the baked potato. When the food arrived, my steak seemed smaller than my daughter's so I called the girl over - the one who brought us our food, not the waitress. I pointed out the size difference and see seemed totally oblivious and said they looked fine to her. Ok, I thought, maybe my daughter and I are just imagining things so we started eating. about half-way through our steaks I pointed out to my daughter how my steak was a overdone and she said that's weird because her's was underdone. We immediately realized that they had swapped the steaks by accident. I called the waitress over and showed her the obvious doneness difference in the steak - it was quite obvious that my steak was grey all the way through while my daughter's was very pink verging on red. The waitress acted totally oblivious and pretended she didn't she any difference. My steak alone was $73 dollars, which I don't mind paying it I actually get the steak I ordered and it cooked the way I as for it to be cooked. I don't think I'll be going back and in fact I've already told several people of the poor service. The weren't impressed.

The staff was very friendly and polite and we were seated promptly. Booths and chairs were both comfy. I had the blackened ribeye med rare and my wife had the stuffed chicken. The side was steamed vegetables ( broccoli, peppers, carrot) with mashed potatoes. We each had a glass of wine. The order only took about 30 minutes but they were a little busy and it WAS a Friday and the kitchen also serviced the sports bar next door so we didn’t sweat the timing. We were served cocktails quickly and the staff made sure our water was topped off. Everything was superb! Steak was cooked just like I wanted and my wife’s chicken wasn’t dry in the least. The veggies were steamed perfectly and the potatoes were creamy and buttery. The portions were very good. Dessert was pana cotta with raspberry sauce for me and a chocolate brownie for my wife. The pana cotta was divine! The brownie wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about. The price was what we expected from a high end restaurant and after tip was just over $200. Money well spent! I would recommend Louie’s to anyone looking for a quality dining experience in Nelson! Thank you very much!
