I will go back 100% for drinks and the vibe, especially the terasse! But food wise, other than the bread (love the butter garlic spread) was wayyyy too pricey for what it is. A pasta plate (minus the crumble meat in the sauce) for 28 dollars with about 20 pieces of rigatoni…… my toddler eats more than that! I left still hungry. The person I was with had a tasty burger with a food portioned salad with no fries for the same price but they could of added the fries come on :)

Went to Lou’s last night for date night with my husband. We order 2 glasses of wine by the glass. The red wine was chilled, poured in a very small glass. The portion was very small, about 2 ounces. The waitress started off nice upon arrival but things went bad once appetizers arrived. Although the baked scallops were tasty, the portion (3 tiny ones) was less than generous. We split it between the 2 of us. We had ordered a salad to split as well. The busboy brought us a french fries.I stated we did not order that, he seemed a little surprised and said it’s on the house. Our mains arrived, which were quite good(parpadelle). The portion was generous , however a bit pricey. We never got the salad. At that point when the waitress finally came halfway though our meals, she wanted to clarify we ordered scallops and fries. I told her we ordered salad not fries, but to forget about salad now as we were finishing our meals. I also told her the conversation I had with busboy (on the house fries). Her attitude shifted at that point. My husband offered to pay for fries , she said it’s ok she will take care of it, as it was a misunderstanding. There was no apology for error . We felt the blame was shifted on us. This ruined our evening. We won’t be going back.

We had a great anniversary weekend at Lou’s. It’s been 3 years since we celebrate our anniversary together there. This year was more special because of the service we have received from Emma, and special shots from the manager!! 🍷

We were three 17-year-old girls going out for dinner, and the experience was really disappointing. The food was very average and honestly lacked flavor—it needed salt and overall just wasn’t good. The worst part happened when we were paying. One of us covered the bill, and the waitress started complaining in a very rude way because we didn’t leave a tip. She kept insisting and trying to pressure us into leaving one, saying that “people usually tip,” even though the service was not good at all. She even went to get her manager, who checked our bill—which was already paid, and honestly not something she should be reviewing at that point. It made us feel very uncomfortable. On top of that, the staff gave us rude looks and made us feel like we were being pushed out of the restaurant. Overall, it was a very unprofessional experience with poor service. We definitely wouldn’t come back.

My partner and I had a dinner date here a few weeks ago and received the worst service we’ve ever experienced. Our waitress took our order and then ignored us/abandoned us the rest of the night. She didn’t inform us that she had messed up our food order and we ended up waiting over forty-five minutes for a plate of pasta. I also had to refill our own water but thankfully was right next to the water station! A very kind busboy ended up serving us the rest of the night and even offered us free cake and bread for the inconvenience!! Our waitress ended up only coming back to bring the check and get gratuity. It’s unfortunate when employees bring their personal problems to work and let it affect the service. Unfortunately we’ll only be back if some staff members learn to leave the drama at home and stop gossiping on the job. Tuna carpaccio was yummy tho!!

I was quite disappointed with my experience at Lou’s. I had heard great things, so my expectations were high. The food was good, but the service was very lacking. We ordered a bottle of wine and had to remind our server multiple times, as well as two other staff members, and never received it even after finishing our meal. Our server seemed more focused on drinking &chatting behind the bar than attending to our table. It wasn’t very busy, which made the lack of service even more surprising, especially as tables seated next to us were served promptly. Unfortunately, the service overshadowed the overall experience.

Attentive and knowledgeable team. Manager working March 8th was very hands on and a great host. Nice to know that there are still some restaurants out there that still give great importance to the service industry. Added bonus that it’s a West Island gem. Thanks for a great evening.

Great overall atmosphere, I really admired the cozy vibe attributed to this spot. The food was tasty, the service was a tad bit slow, it took us a while to get our meal but the server was very kind.

Food was quite good but service one of the worst I’ve had a while. Those from the restaurant staff that we interacted with were nice although, it took about an +1 hour to get our food, asked for the bill and after we waited 15 mins (and still nothing) we got up to find a waiter to ask, part of our meal was missing and we were told the wrong price for the special of the night that we ordered. Low staff can definitely be a contributing factor, but being given a heads up at the beginning of the service would help. We got there at 6:15 and were out at 9.

We had a lovely experience here. We were served by Maggie and she was very sweet and suggested amazing options which we will be back to have again! The baked scallops and the homemade bun is to die for.

The food arrived cold and looked like it had been sitting for a while. The pasta was dry, the sauce lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. For the prices charged, I expected much better quality. Presentation was sloppy, and the portion sizes were small. Extremely disappointing.

Amazing evening at Lou’s. Sat at the bar and was served by the sweetest waitress/bartender ever Haylo! She was amazing. She gave us great recommendations. The food was delicious with amazing presentation and they were very assiduous with the cutlery, plate changes, water, drinks, etc. We highly recommend the tuna carp, the cesar salad, crab cake, the scallops, the brioche, the rigatoni. I forget the name of the desert but like just look at it like unbelievably yum. Seriously great fun cozy vibes, good drinks, good service, amazing food. 10/10 would recommend.

Despite having a good number of servers in the restaurant, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table, ask if we wanted water, and bring us the menu. It seemed like they had just started their shift, as they were busy talking among themselves.

Came here on newyears’ eve and everything was just… amazing. This is far beyond any restaurant I’ve been to, including service. Justine was also an amazing server who was patient with all of our requests and was very nice to us. Foods were cooked to nothing but perfection, would come again and would recommend to everyone who loves tasting new food.
