It was daughter’s 50 th birthday. There was a sign on the table wishing her a happy birthday. Champagne was served to all for a toast. The food was delicious from the flat bread appetizer to all the entrees and the desserts. The alcoholic drinks we great. We had a great time.

We come to Deccan spice quite often and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious and the service is impeccable. Our most recent outing was extra special as Sagar took great care of us. So glad there is a high end Indian restaurant with class and style in the area!

This was my first experience at LouCas, and it left a lasting impression! One unique aspect of this restaurant is the ability to bring your own bottle, which added a personal and enjoyable touch to the evening. During my dinner with a customer, I tried the lobster ravioli, and it was exceptional. The ravioli was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked – truly one of the best I’ve had. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an excellent choice for both professional and personal gatherings. LouCas strikes a great balance between elegant dining and a relaxed environment. If you’re looking for a BYOB spot with fantastic seafood options, I highly recommend giving it a try. I look forward to visiting again soon!
