Stopped here after a day at the museum. I just wanted some good wine ? and had my sights on this place for a while. The bartender suggested a great full bodies and I paired it with some olives, cheese, grapes, honey and almonds. I didn’t come for a meal, just to nosh. I will definitely get the oyster, next time around.

Really amazing food and revolving menu. Great wine list and super knowledgeable staff. Favourite place
Tried to wash hands and couldn’t because their soap dispenser was broken. Told host, who said staff wash hands in their own sinks. Left on the spot.

Excellent food! The squash dish and the tomato salad dish were outstanding. Dessert was one of the best I ever had! Backyard ambiance was very pleasant.
Vegetarian options: Squash dish and tomato salad are insanely good

Oysters, crudo, and wine were on point, and so was the service. However, the bread for the cheese plate was almost inedible bc of how hard it was. Olives are a strong licorice taste. Overall great night to share a bottle of wine with a friend!

LaLou was an incredible experience! Every dish had depth and nuance, and the 66 page wine list did not disappoint. I love orange wines, and they had 2 full pages to choose from. We would absolutely come here again and recommend it to any of our friends. We will be back!

ordered the sourdough, red snapper crudo, mussels, and vol-au-vent— the mussels were very flavourful and creamy and the maitake vol-au-vent was incredibly savoury!

One of my favorite local spots in Prospect Heights. Absolutely beautiful space, with a warm, friendly, knowledgeable staff. And of course excellent wine and food. Truly a gem that is worth going out of your way for, whether its a glass of wine and a snack or a full meal.

My mom and I had a disappointing experience at this place, spending about $115 and still coming away hungry. The portions were small and overpriced. The oysters (half dozen for $21) were the tiniest oysters Ive ever had. For $28, we received a small pastry dish with a few mushrooms smothered in overly salty gravy. We also had a red snapper fish dish for $18. The price for that seemed okay since the fish was raw but it was chewy and flavorless. We arent big people and dont eat a huge amount. I cant imagine grown men eating here for a reasonable price. I cannot recommend this place.

Had a wonderful experience. Great spot with great Brooklyn vibes. The cocktails were on point, and the oysters may have been the very best I’ve had. Can recommend.

My boyfriend and I had the loveliest time at LaLou. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by this cozy, intimate vibe. The place is beautifully simple with warm lighting and comfy seats and it just feels really welcoming. The charming garden dining area is a delightful option for outdoor dining in pleasant weather. The team was incredibly accommodating, and everything we tasted was absolutely delicious. The braised short rib, oysters, and black bass were all prepared to perfection, and the chocolate tart dessert was simply divine. The She Wolf bread was a delightful addition, fresh and perfectly baked. When we left, my boyfriend couldn't stop raving about the oysters to his friends! The selection of wine is incredible, featuring a diverse range of natural wines that perfectly complemented our meal. The cocktails were amazing, and the warm hospitality, especially from Hannah, made it a memorable experience. Whether you’re here for a casual hangout or a special occasion, LaLou’s got the perfect vibe. We appreciated every moment and will definitely be back soon. LaLou is a true gem in Prospect Heights!

Cute and chill place that pairs wine with food well. The staff were so kind and gave great wine recommendations. Food portions are a but small, but it’s great for people who are going to the restaurant for the pairings.
