“ Cute and cozy, Great service, great food. Sardines and slow roasted lamb ribs are my favorite. If you like dessert, Do not miss the Banana Foster Profiterole! ”
“ Very pleasant experience! The service was excellent, and the food was even better. We loved pretty much everything we ordered, and a huge thank you to the staff — I had accidentally left my sunglasses behind, and they kindly returned them to me the next day. ”
“ Joined for dinner on a Thursday night. The restaurant has a modern-bistro sensibility with subtle rustic touches and a nice balance between elegance and comfortable warmth. We sat in the back section of the main dining area with the leather banquettes. Tables did feel too cramped, and the it wasn’t a busy night but it would be difficult to get out from your seat on a busy one. Service was okay, not the most friendly and warm. Food was very good. The escargot was delicious, the piece of sausage added to each shell elevates the flavor. The grilled whole dorade was very fresh, meat was tender with a subtle sweetness. But the charred broccolini was very bitter for some reason. House steak was okay. Would love to try the lamb next time. Overall a cute bistro with great food. ”
“ Was expecting more of the reviewed options like the steak frites to be on the brunch menu but seems like they do a different set. Crab Louie was pretty good though. Had service at the bar and was attentively taken care of although I was also inadvertently able to hear all the team gossip. May come back to try their dinner menu. ”
“ Our group of six had a wonderful brunch at French Louie. Everyone enjoyed their food, but the Crab Louie was the table favorite for sure. Nice atmosphere inside, and next time I think I'd book a table in their back garden, it looked lovely. Service was efficient, but a times could have been more attentive. I did very much appreciate their flexibility to adjust our reservation less than 24 hours in advance. Reservations likely required for weekend brunch as there was a large crowd trying to get a table as we left. ”
