    Another wonderful dinner at Louie's. Made even better by having the best seat in the house ... in front of a crackling fire. Perfect place to be on a stormy night.

    I had a wonderful dining experience at Tony’s at Jay House. Went for my girlfriends birthday. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish bursting with flavor and made to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. The hostess and server were very attentive. Tony, the owner, truly made the experience stand out. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. It's clear that he takes great pride in both the food and the service. Highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely be back!
