I tried to walk in to Louie's without a reservation and was turned away. Afterwards, I made a reservation for about two months later and it did not live up to the hype. It felt like the people were cattle being herded in and out. There were three of us and we were placed at a table entirely too big and awkward by the restrooms, and when we inquired about a different table the server said " you get what you get, it's all we had available". (Mind you, I made a reservation, so this didn't sit well with me). Furthermore, two of us ordered a steak medium and they came out chewy rock-hard more than well done. Enjoyed one glass of wine over a 1.5 hour time frame because the waiter never checked on us. I didn't expect or ask for a discount due to the meal and quality of service, but would have expected a much higher caliber than we received based off the reviews. Waiter threw the bill on the table and couldn't get us out of there fast enough. Was a whirlwind, and entirely underwhelming experience.

The food was really good, and the atmosphere was great. The booth side of table set up was a bit inconvenient. No one wants to sit and scooch down a bench. The service was fantastic. Monique was on it and very friendly. I tried to order the fig ricotta toast, but the figs weren't ripe. I appreciated the honestly. Not all places would even care if a customer got subpar food. My in-laws were in town from NY and loved the beignets. I would definitely go again.

Just, MEH. Food was just ok, loud noisy space and unorganized team. Our server tried hard, but was not very knowledgeable. Six of us, no one sent meals back , but none of us delighted. Doubt I’d go back.

There during Art Fair so I’m not rating it worse. Over 30 minutes to get drinks, over an hour for food. Food was really pedestrian. Chicken Picatta came out and looked like it came out of a frozen dinner. Really disappointing.

Our daughter just moved to town, and we took her to Louie's for a first impression. Mistake. Service was horrible. The restaurant was packed, and they only had two servers for the entire restaurant, inside and outside. Compounding the poor service was the fact that the server never submitted our order. When he was reminded (after 45 minutes of no attention and no appetizers or salads), he did rush the order, but the food was undercooked, yet somehow cold. To make up for it, he offered free beignets for dessert, and they too were undercooked and doughy. We've always experienced "consistently average" food there, which at times is good enough, but this experience will likely cause us to cross Louie's off our go to list. I realize hiring and maintaining help in the F&B industry is difficult, but if you cannot serve the guests, maybe limit occupancy for a while until you can. I'd recommend others stay away until they get their act together. Missable.

Really underwhelmed. Food was all okay, but pretty overpriced. The menu has a vegetarian icon but they literally only put it on the first two items and then stopped for the whole rest of the menu. Many other dishes are vegetarian, so this just seems lazy and disorganized. Wait staff didn’t know which other dishes were vegetarian and it was like pulling teeth to get them to ask so we could actually get answers. No reason to come back for me
