We had a special birthday dinner with our adult children and their spouses. We were celebrating a 75th and 40 th birthday. The food was excellent from the starters through dessert. The service was top rate, helpful, efficient, friendly and professional. The ambience was also very good. The staff even arranged to have lit birthday candles in our dessert. We all had a lovely time. Merci, French Louie!

This ambience of this restaurant is nice, but the food was just OK. Service was not good. My waitress was very cold and unhelpful when I ordered and she took my order exactly as I had given it to her. Upon changing my mind a few minutes later and asking her to update something we had ordered, only then did she give me feedback on what I had ordered and suggested a change. Had I not checked back in with her, she wouldn't have said anything. Throughout the rest of the night she was really cold and not very helpful.

The tables are really small and when another person came to bring us our food, he just left us to figure out how to puzzle all the plates together. I picked up some plates so he could put the entree on the table, and he left me just holding the additional plates to figure out how it would all fit.

The food was OK, the steak was the best of what I got. The escargot itself was fine but the side it came with was not good.

I would say this place is cute but definitely not worth what you pay for. Wouldn't go back.

Had a spontaneous date night here and it turned out to be the perfect spot. The food was great and I especially appreciated the portions considering the affordable price point. The highlight for me were the fried artichokes, they were so delicious and memorable and so was the salad verte!

I was in the neighborhood for a birthday and a friend recommended Louie. It has a very nice cozy interior and the host gave us a warm greeting even though we did not have a reservation. The escargot, steak, and lamb dishes were amazing and the cocktails top notch. The thing that truly made this night memorable was the staff friendliness and service. The server accidentally dropped some butter on me and the manager went out of his way to explain that the stain might be difficult to remove and he offered to cover the dry cleaning. This was handled so well and I really appreciated it. I wish I lived in the neighborhood as I'd go once a week if I did!

Love the decor and patio.
Don’t like the tiny bathroom.

Been here twice. First time for a birthday dinner pictures are from that. Food was good. I loved the coco nojito (no achl) drink. Almost creamy. Simple sweet. Had raw meat for the first time ever here and it actually tasted good. Now I like steak tartare! The prawns are best item on menu imo. Service was good. Attentive.

Second visit I went with a girlfriend. Food was same quality but service was terrible. Felt like the waitress was actively avoiding our table. Got to the point my friend and I were making bets on whether or not she’d come to our table and we won every time. There was a point there was only one table out on patio and our table. She went to check on THAT table came back inside WALKED PAST US and did not check on us for another 30min.

Felt extremely purposeful and rude.

Don’t think I’ll be back but it is a cute restaurant.

I tried to get a healthy dish so ordered the socca with multi grains and fried egg, but unfortunately it wasn’t that great. Also someone else in my party got a French toast but it was basically a large shared dessert instead of a brunch entree and he could really eat it, would not recommend getting that as an entree. The bread was hard and crusty!
The service and ambiance were nice though.

Cute spot. Stick to the standards on the menu you'll be happy. It's a nice vibe and reminded me of being in Paris.
