- CChrystaPhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had dinner here last night and brunch late this morning and both were delicious. I had the duck casoulet for dinner and it was out of this world. Last night we were seated right next to the open kitchen, so I thought it was going to be loud with people rushing past the table constantly, but our server was very attentive and helpful, and it turned out not to be quite as loud as I thought it might be when we first sat. This morning we had a lovely booth for two that was much quieter. We will definitely be back as we enjoyed our experience very much and there were plenty of other dishes I wanted to try on the menu!More infoLouie Louie Bistro BarPrice: Moderate• French American• University City•4.5

- AAmyPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAbby, (Management) and Jasmine (my fabulous, friendly Waitress with) et al..I can't say enough about their courtesy, constant attentiveness the ambiance, the gastronomical pleasure, the fact that me, myself and I were overwhelmed with the feeling of plenty of self-love. It did not matter that my date could not make it on this particular socially interpreted holiday. It was a night that melted my heart in so many wonderful ways. I am sharing this experience with everyone I know and whomever I meet. A perfect place to enjoy for all of your plans. I am looking forward to the "CHEERS" feeling again and again. This was no coincidence. Enjoy!More infoThe LovePrice: Expensive• American• Rittenhouse Square•4.8
