We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. All four of us has something different, and each was delicious. We also shared 4 different apps, and 5 desserts. Service was spot on, not hovering but always available. There was a slight hiccup with the heat, things happen, and they did a great job of managing it. Looking forward to our return.

Lou Lou is consistently good with both food and service and tonight was no exception. My seasonal salad was fresh and flavorful, though I took off a star for value because the salmon on it was minuscule and the overall portion of the dish was pretty small (next time I will order the "large" for a few dollars more). My friend's salmon and salad were also tasty. But the real star tonight was our server, Jena. She was incredibly friendly and efficient, and made us feel so welcome - we lingered for a long time and she never made us feel rushed. She also brewed fresh decaf coffee for me. The person who seated us was also friendly and kind. The great staff at Lou Lou Food & Drink really take this place to the next level.
