    Delicious food, variety of choices for most palates, and most importantly for us, kid-friendly. Everyone that interacted with our table was super helpful and friendly. Our food was delicious and all of it came with no fuss. We brought out of town guests this trip and they commented on how good it was and to keep this on our short list to bring visitors.

    The food and service at Lou Lou is always amazing. It seems that no matter what I order, I love it. You can tell that the chef takes a great deal of pride in his creations, and this is one of the few restaurants where I didn't want to add salt & pepper. It's seasoned properly! The ambiance is ok. It's not a romantic vibe, but I would rather they concentrate on the food/service anyway. It can get loud, so during busy times, it might not be the best place for a 1st date. The cocktails are delicious, and created with care. They have some on the menu that I haven't seen anywhere else. Get the bread pudding for dessert! It's amazing.

    The food was amazing, as always, with friendly service. It's always a pleasure to come back with new friends to show off some of Louisville's best cuisine.

    Food is good, service is not great, and the restaurant is pretty run down. Needs a good deep cleaning in my opinion! be prepared to be charged $1.00 if you ask for a SIDE of mayonnaise!

    Great southern creole selections. All the food we ordered was delicious including the bayou dip, wings, grits, pizza, etc. Drinks were unique too but know that bar closes at 9, so if you have a later reservation you will want to get your drinks ahead of time.

    The service was excellent. The food was okay. I got the cheese grits by a recommendation and they were terrible. We were there late and I’m sure I got the end of the grits but if they looked like they did, I wouldn’t have served them. Other than that the food was good. Maybe a little overpriced.
