They did not receive my Open Table reservation. Had to wait 40 minutes for a table. Bar service was very slow. Large party was a priority for our waiter, not us. Really disappointing experience.

This place is like stepping into the twilight zone. I waitress was beyond strange and almost robotic. My wife and I were just confused by the whole experience. Way overpriced for such a low quality Italian restaurant.

Couldn't have been more pleased with our evening celebrating my mom's birthday at Louie's. The food was outstanding! The service was friendly, genuine and attentive! The singers (including our waiter) were spectacular! We called in advance to inform them we were coming to celebrate my mom's birthday. Spoke with Louie personally on the phone and he said he would make sure to have us seated with just the right waiter who "was something special" and that we would be make our evening memorable. He certainly did. From the moment he came to our table, James our waiter spoke my mom's name directly to her and highlighted celebrating her night. Every time he came back to the table he made sure to speak to my mom directly by name and made sure her meal was perfect. He was warm, fun and importantly came across as genuine in all his comments. All of our food was very tasty, well seasoned and came to the table steaming hot (it is great to see a steaming bowl of pasta brought to your table and with a spoon for twirling the pasta on your fork without having to ask for one). We recommend the Pasta Sampler for those that can't make their mind what to get - the sampler also comes with an outstanding anti-pasta salad. We ordered two of those in addition to Sausage Vesuvio (Louie's homemade spicy sausage - delicious - with chicken and seasoned red potatoes over linguine) and Chicken Ala Mia (artichokes, mushrooms in a white wine sauce over linguine). As our delicious meal came to an end, James brought out our desserts and erupted into a magnificent version of Happy Birthday sung to my mom in an amazing operatic voice . He was great! Then one of the singers from Clam & Jam, a duo singing and playing keyboards and hand drums, came over and sung their version of Happy Birthday to my mom. My mom said it was her best birthday dinner ever! Our evening at Louie's was wonderful! Thank you to Louie and his entire team, especially James, for making our night special.

I've been going to Louie's for 45 years. Where do I start? Back when Mama was still alive, you had to stand in a long line to get a table. And you were happy to do so because what waited for you inside was a very special meal. I took my husband and mother to Louie's on a Thursday night. The hostess couldn't find my Open Table reservation. I had a confirmation email. But it really didn't matter; there were more empty tables than full at 7:00pm. We ordered the crispy calamari appetizer for the table. Um, don't order that. Tough, no flavor, right out of a frozen bag. Our entrees were marginal at best. At 7:10pm, the "jazz" singer started. Mom could no longer hear me across the table. Then the people at the bar took turns singing. Some were pretty good! Some, not so much. Still couldn't carry on a conversation at the table. When our entrees were delivered, we asked for them to go. The waiter commented that it looked like we went to the grocery store not a restaurant. I'm sure the Thursday night regulars had a great time. We wanted a nice quiet meal. We didn't want to be part of a night club act. Thursday nights at Louie's are definitely out for us. Friday and Saturday nights have other entertainers. Plan accordingly.
