It was slow for a Friday. We got there at 8 and the other 4 occupied tables left shortly after so it was very quiet. Our servers were all ours and very attentive. (One note about the bread, it comes already coated in olive oil, so it can be a bit drippy. Not sure if you can request it dry.) We had been there once before and we ordered the calamari to start again. It was very good, with a light, crispy batter, a little heat from the candied cherry peppers and overall pretty tender. Shared the Caesar salad next, classic and good, but unremarkable. My entree was the halibut; flavors were very good, over spinach and mashed, but the fish was a tad overcooked and so a bit dry. My husband had the scallops over risotto, which was very good. We didn't have dessert.

Plus: food and service pleasant Minus: smelly (carpets need cleaning), dark, cold (window air conditioners) - not a great vibe

Food was good but some of our dishes came out colder than was enjoyable. Waters were never refilled without asking. The in wall AC units made the place smell moldy. But the food was good enough and it was quiet and spacious and the service was pretty decent so I could consider going back

Such a wonderful experience all around! I took my family here for dinner wanting to treat them to a high quality meal and Louie's absolutely delivered! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is pleasant and cozy, and the service was very friendly. The prices were affordable, especially for such large portions of delicious food. I also love that it's BYOB, it made it more affordable and personal because we could bring wine we know we like. I'm already excited to come back here!

Great food and ambience. Would recommend and looking forward to going again. Service was also on point

We were in NJ for an event and needed a place for dinner. Louie's got great ratings, so we booked a reservation. did not disappoint! Very unassuming establishment, but the food was top rate, as was the service. Hot and fresh out of the kitchen - not standing under a warming lamp. BYOB which is great and a liquor store right next door that stocks very nice wines. Great find!

Service was amazing. The calamari and the pasta special was nice. The pretzel chicken was extremely dry and the Dijon sauce was OK. The steak was tough and the burgundy sauce or whatever that was unrecognizable flavor was pretty terrible. The dish look like a mess. My wedge salad was awful. I picked the restaurant because the ratings were good. It might have been a bad night and or Jason wasn't there. Everyone has a bad day, so give it a try and see how they do with your meal. Good luck

I went to Louie’s by Chef Jason in Robbinsville for a private party. The food was outstanding. I had the chicken parmigiana—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was warm and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and modern. Everything felt well-run and welcoming. Highly recommend for special events or a great night out.

The dining experience at Louie's is always a pleasure. The food is always great, as well as the service and atmosphere.

Overall the evening was a wonderful dining experience. Service was exceptional- a shout out to our server Gerard. A few minor things keep me from giving a five star rating . We ordered the PEI mussels as an app but after a few minutes were told they weren't available. - bummer. However, the cherry glazed calamari was a delicious discovery. One other minor ‘mistake' was getting asparagus instead of the broccoli as stated on the menu with my entree but that was fine by me - who really eats broccoli? We can't wait to return and enjoy a very pleasant dinner with a bottle of our favorite wine. Don't forget - it's BYOB.
Excellent food, the service amazing, high recommended

Celebrated a friend’s birthday here. We all enjoyed our meals. Halibut, pretzel chicken, short rib were all very enjoyable. The servers were very kind and attentive. I noticed when it came to atmosphere there wasn’t too much change from when it was Shrimp King. There’s a smell when you walk in and the flooring is very uneven. Pretty dim for a restaurant all the windows were shut and it was a beautiful day. Also holiday decor in April? The restaurant could definitely use a make over.

First time dining here, I will be back! The place is lovely, warm & nicely decorated. The service was great, very attentive. Food was amazing with very unique and tasty options.

We ordered scallops and the chef left the muscle attached to the scallops on. A definite miss. The bread slices were soaking in oil and of 6 pieces only 3 roasted garlic cloves. The usually high quality was not experienced this evening. On a positive note the servers were attentive.

Service was outstanding. Rack of lamb delicious. Halibut entree (from regular menu) was very dry and disappointing. Bread and salad were excellent.
