    It was our first time at Louix Louis and we had a great time!! We were sitting at the bar and our bartenders/servers were amazing. They were welcoming, friendly and engaging. The bartender suggested the Louix Spritz with a shot of Casamigo Reposado and it was one of the best cocktails I have ever had..must try!! For our dinner, we ordered Burrata and Endive salad, Crab salad, Lobster Risotto and Filet Mignon, and King's Chocolate cake for dessert, all was superb!!! Great service, beautiful and relaxing ambience and superb food and drinks. Our overall experience was amazing!! We will definitely go back. This place is a must visit restaurant if you have not been. Thank you Louix Louis for an amazing night!!!

    This was our first time at the Lobby. The atmosphere was top shelf. Pretty unique venue which my partner really appreciated. The service was amazing, our server Hallie( I apologize for most likely not spelling her name right) was wonderful! She was super friendly, easy to talk to, gave great recommendations. The food for the most part was pretty good. Just one or two things I maybe would have subbed out from the set v day menu. They had live entertainment, a female cupid of sorts, it was different but fun! Overall it was a great romantic night out, again loved the atmosphere and we most definitely would come back 🙂

    I went for Valentine's Day. They had a three-course fixed price menu for $89. The thing that stood out the most was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful; he must have filled my water glass five times! The appetizer was good - I had the mushroom soup. The main course (duck two ways) was excellent. We shared a dessert, which also was good. Although it was pricey, I would come back for a special occasion.

    Servers were so nice! They were more friendly and warm rather than cold and respectful, felt like they were focused on taking care of our experience over the foods experience which was a nice change. Food came out so quick and was great, despite the pasta coming out a little cold. Ambiance and noise levels were perfect for a date night. The "Tap that Cake" was an affordable desert that overall added to the great experience. Would highly recommend to any visitors!

    We went a couple for the winterlicious menu. It was very quiet (could be the storm). The location and ambience were great so was the food and the service. Erin, who was in charge of our table attended to our comfort and timely service. It was an overall great experience.
