Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Butchertown

An amazing experience indeed! Service was fantastic as the waitress provided the history of the restaurant and had suggestions for cocktails, appetizers and the main course. My husband had the 14 inch ribeye and I had the flight which included choice, prime, and wagyu cuts. Sides were crispy loaded baked potato and collard greens. It was the quickest open kitchen I have ever seen. We made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we enjoyed the experience. We will be going back for our Anniversary in May!

I recently dined at Guacamole and overall, it was a great experience. The food was excellent, with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I highly recommend trying the nachos—they were perfectly layered with toppings and full of flavor. The cocktails were also a standout, well-balanced and creative. Service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. However, the food came out a little too quickly, which made us feel somewhat rushed. Additionally, the noise level was higher than expected, making conversation a bit challenging at times. Despite these minor issues, I would still highly recommend trying. If you’re looking to try something new. The quality of the food and drinks, along with great service, make it well worth a visit.

We were seated immediately for our 7:15 Valentine's Day reservation. The service was excellent despite the place being packed, and the food was delicious, as usual. The staff is always friendly and seem like they are happy to be there. Our dinner was a great value for the quality of the overall experience. We spend only slightly more to dine at very mediocre places in this town. This is my favorite restaurant in the city. The bar manager is excellent and whether you hang at the bar or choose to be seated at a table, the service is always spot-on, without being stuffy. The wine selection was nice as there were some good quality wines for no more than you would pay at any middle of the road establishment. The brussell sprouts app was tasty, as was the encrusted goat cheese salad. I forgot to ask if the squash blossom app is off the menu permanently, but I am assuming it is seasonal. I sure hope so, because it fantastic. I had the pasta dish with chicken (amazing), my wife had Salmon which is always perfection. She doesn't eat red meat or pork, so it is nice that she can always find a tasty choice here. We were stuffed so no room for desert.

No notes for improvement. Well, maybe one. My personal preference for a fine dining/upscale experience is extremely low lighting. I would turn the overheads completely off and use only the table lighting. I love a pre-set menu and the Valentine's Day selections from the Chef were outstanding. The (butter?) Old Fashioned is outstanding. My wife couldn't believe how good the salmon was and my New York strip was perfect as well Oddly, the potato roll kinda stole the show. So good. Typically I find a solid musician playing with a a backing track to be too mechanical. Like karaoke for a fiddle, but the musician did a fantastic job and music selections were really good.

We had a wonderful valentine’s Day! Dean, was a wonderful waiter, and made the experience all that much more. I would highly recommend Lou Lou’s on Main Street for a terrific lunch or dinner. It is a bit pricey for anything more than a sandwich, but the food is fantastic.
